Replied to Mr Bicknells enquiries respecting the situation & description of certain portions of the Manor of Wark. Also to Mr LeJoyts queries concerning the rental of Throckley Colliery & Bone’s Arrears connected with it.
Sent Mr Hunt to measure & mark off the ground Awarded as a Limestone Quarry for the use of the Proprietors of Grindon Common at Carstones, having found that they have been working Lime Stone in the Hospitals private property to a considerable extent, instead of on the awarded part, which must be put a stop to. Went through the Tyneside Woods , where the Lot sold last year is now nearly cleared away. I have purposely deferred replanting this Ground, till the last, on account of its liability to be overflowed. It must now be done as quickly as possible. Afterwards went to the Men planting and fencing the Ground on Snokoe Fell. The weather is now favourable for such operations. Wrote to Mr Forster asking when he would be able to come up & examine the Collieries, requesting his particular attention to the state of that at Throckley as I fear the Mssrs Bones may be obliged to quit both it and the Farm ere long.
