The Rookhope Mill Lead is not taken into this ac[count] being uncertain whether any portion of it will be brought on the line of Railway. Neither does the above shew the extent of saving to Coll. & Mrs Beaumont, which would bear the same proportion on the Carriage of Goods upwards to the Mines, Mills &c. as Iron, Timber, Deals &c.
Exact date not given, so 1st May assumed here. The ‘Mr Crawhall’ responsible is assumed to be Thomas Crawhall, the then chief agent, if only because the calculation covers the lead business as a whole
