Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Charles Grey – 4 Jan 1824
The Right Honourable Earl Grey
Lyons, Jan. 4, 1824
My Lord,
By the conduct of most of the gentlemen whom I have met on the continent, though more particularly of the Whigs, towards me, as well as by general report, I have collected that it is intended, that upon my return to England I shall not be spoken to. Being conscious of having acted throughout this affair with the most pure intentions, - the strictest honour, - a

I am compelled by the situation in which I am placed, with whatever reluctance to declare to the World all that passed between Sir John and Lady Swinburne and myself from the time that your Sister accepted me. I am on the point of being excluded from the world & my sisters are to lose their protector, and I am to be overwhelmed with disgrace for having done that for which my conscience entirely acquits me, and which ci

Letter – Charles Grey to Robert Wilson – 15 Jan 1824
Gov. House/ Devonport. Jan 19 1824
My Dear Wilson
I received your letter this morning and return the enclosed copy of your letter to Lambton. I had already given him exactly the same opinion on both points, & it is extremely gratifying to me to find that we so completely agree. I have only in addition expressed my regret that we should have suffered <myself> to be drawn into a personal altercation with such a fellow.
I have an affair of the same kind on my hands with

Dear Sir
I have to thank you for the communication from Mr W.

Having heard that your Lordship has asserted that I have been mad, or used words to that effect, I am sure that your Lordship cannot refuse to inform me, if you ever made use of such an expression.

Extract of a Letter from Earl Grey to Sir W. Gordon dated,
Govt House, Devonport, Jan 19. 1824
My dear Sir
This man seems determined to bring matters to an issue with me, and for the reasons I gave you in my last letter, viz. that his family deny his Insanity & that he is received into Society - I think the shortest and the best way will be to indulge him if he persists in what appears to be his present intuition. But I put myself into your

Govt House. Jan 19 1824
My Dear Lambton
I this morning received from Wilson a copy of the Opinion he has given you on the affair of Pemburton & was much gratified in finding that that we so perfectly agreed, not that I had the slightest doubt upon my mind, but it was a great satisfaction to me to have the view I had taken of the case, so fully confirmed by a Man of approved honor & your sincere Mind.

I received your letter, with Earl Grey’s enclosed, last night, and was far from having any desire of taking the notice of it that, in the conclusion of yours, you appear to apprehend. I shall only observe by the way that the idea of my having been under a mental Delusion did not at first suggest itself to Lord Grey, for his conduct was

I must in the first place thank you for the kindness with which you have acted on this occasion, tho’ I confess my feeling, for the reasons I had before given you, was rather in favour of answering any call this man might have been induced to make upon

I rode to Newcastle on Wednesday … I found your letter had arrived this morning. The Newcastle Papers are all printed on the Thursday … I could not therefore get the advertisment inserted … I am convinced every advantage will be taken of it to your prejudice in this county. Your letter to Mr Brandling has been made generally known by Mr Brandling and those hostile to your interests who have spared no pains when any disadvantage to your interests in this question could arise from its p

Gov. House Jan 28 1824
Dear Wilson
Many many thanks for your letter and for the kind and friendly expressions it contains.
I suppose Gordon expected you to call on him, or he might perhaps have private reasons for not <sending>. But as the matter seems now at rest for the present, it is needless to say more about it.
I send enclosed a copy of the latter cor

Govt House Jan 29 1824
My Dear Lambton
I sent Wilson the concluding part of the correspondence with Beaumont & desired him to give the answer which he had written to J.W. Gordon to you. As it was too long a story to tell in writing, I shall be obliged to you to inform Wilson of all that had previously passed.
The matter seems now at an end as far as I am concerned, & as Beaumont’s family do no
Diary – James Losh – 2 Feb 1824
Mr. Bird (Mr. Beaumont’s former tutor and friend) called upon me and I had a long conversation with him. He is a shrewd and sensible man and I do not think so ill of him as I did before we met. I take him however to be selfish and somewhat deficient both in the feelings and manners of a gentleman. He was originally in a low situation of life and his connection with a family constituted as that governed by Mrs. Beaumont must necessarily have been, would tend more to give him dexterity of
