Diary – James Losh – 26 Sep 1823
I was detained in Newcastle until 6 o’clock by conferences with Ed. Swinburne, Mrs. Beaumont ec., respecting Mr. Beaumont’s strange conduct and unfortunate state of mind. It is quite clear that he is deranged at present, but I much doubt whether by judicious treatment, that derangement might not be speedily removed. I had a long conference with Mrs. Beaumont and never saw a more lively and convincing proof of the vanity of worldly prosperity than in her chearless and melancholy situation
Report – Matthew Wilson to Anthony Hedley – 27 Sep 1823
On the 26th of Sept 1823 Mrs Beaumont arrived at Hexham on her way to Alanheads, and that Evening in a conversation she had with Mr C. Heads and others she signified that she had been of Opinion that the Commissioners of the Intended new line of Road could carry the line through the Cloisters and the Seal with or without her consent. Mr. Heads said they could not. She asked emphatically ‘can they do so Without my Consent’. The answer was ‘Madam, they cannot.’ She then inquired in

Hexham Monday morning
Dear Nephew,
I hope you and Thomas got well home and found all well. There has been a sad upro at Hexham since Friday night about the road through the Seal.

Letter – John Lambton to Charles Grey – 29 Sep 1823
The Earl Grey. Lambton Hall Sept 29
My dear Lord Grey
William received a Week ago a Letter from B. Saying that he had a supernatural Intimation that Lady S had drowned herself that Morning - that in consequence he had set off for Bradley, in the full expectation of finding the fact confirmed - that if it did not turn out to be so, he could not expect William to believe his other assertions as they rested chiefly o
Letter – John Bell to Diana Beaumont – 1 Oct 1823
To Mrs Beaumont Lady of the Regality or Manor of Hexham
We the Inhabitants of Hexham in public meeting assembled take this opportunity of returning you our sincere thanks for the very kind and handsome manner in which you received a Deputation of our Townsmen on Saturday last. Your declaration ‘No power upon Earth shall induced Col Beaumont or myself to do any thing to deprive the Inhabitants of Hexham of the Comforts and privileges they have so long enjoyed in the Seal’ will be long an
Letter – Charles Grey to John Lambton – 1 Oct 1823
Torquay Oct 1st 1823
My Dear Lambton
Many thanks for your letter. Before this you probably may have learned the results of Beaumont’s supernatural intimation. By letters from Sir John S to my <Brother> & to Sir W. Gordon which have been sent to me, it appears that he astonished young Edward & the Boatman, by his sudden appearance at the Lake at Capheaton. & upon E.S.’s asking what he did there his answer was that he did not know, that he supposed God h
Letter – Diana Beaumont to John Bell – 4 Oct 1823
Gentlemen,
I beg you will accept my best thanks for this public demonstration of your favour, of which I shall ever retain a grateful remembrance; I trust no one can suspect that I am blinded by prejudice or influenced by private Interest when I declare my decided dissent to the measure of the line of Road passing through the Seal. I have already given my reasons for it. Col Beaumont & I will never join any Party to deprive the respectable Inhabitants of Hexham of the antient Privileges th
Diary – James Losh – 4 Oct 1823
I went to meet Mrs. Beaumont at her urgent request and had much serious conversation with her respecting her son – that is as far serious as her overweening vanity and folly will permit her to be upon any subject. I shewed her Mr. B.’s last letter to me and a copy of my answer in which I distinctly stated my opinion that he labors under delusions as to the Capheaton family and advised him to apply to his medical friend on the subject. I pointed out to her the necessity of decisive and sp

My Dear Lambton
I do not make out from your letter or Sir John’s whether it was before or after his appearance at Capheaton that Beaumont wrote to William. I rather conjecture that it must have been before & in that case it is possible he may have slipped Mr Bird & his Brother, who were in pursuit of him, & proceeded in his journey to London. Mrs Beaumont had been at Capheaton but I do no

Diary – James Losh – 9 Oct 1823
I had a letter of thanks from Sir J. Swinburne and messages full of gratitude and offers of service from Mrs. Beaumont; from Beaumont himself, a letter full of exaggerated praise and professions of friendship and regard. With all this I confess I am very well pleased and the more so because I am conscious of having acted with good intentions. But I certainly do not expect much fruit from my exertions in the shape of benefit to myself or my family.

To Richard Beaumont Esq. Fallodon Nov 1st 1823
Sir
I have just received a Note from your Brother with an Apology for his Conduct towards me and my family; that Apology Lady S and myself can only accept of in consideration of our entire conviction that the accusation was made when Mr Beaumont was labouring under mental delusion, it is therefore quite unnecessary to give you the trouble of coming to this place, as Mr B’s Conduct under these circumsta

My Dear Lambton
As I learn Lady Grey wrote yesterday to London it is probable she told her of the unexpected visit we received the night before from Mr R[ichar]d Beaumont. He came with a letter from his Brother, of which the following is a copy.

Mr Beaumont Dec 17th 1823
I have been prevented writing sooner supposing that you would visit Naples first and then proceed to Rome … I have given James Briggs directions to take your horses up and get them in condition to go to London about the 20th of January ... There is little passing in the county that is necessary for me to communicate. Hostility against yourself I hope is gradually subsiding and I trust before long something may occur to draw off their attention from that point.
