Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 1 Jul 1827
Sir!
The new staircase is put up and now only wants the bannister and handrail. The old staircase is taken down and the Balcony in a state of forwardness. I should be glad if you could come down to the north before you go abroad to see what has been done and gain your directions to proceed upon.

I shall take care to provide six beds at Allendale town for yourself and friends in the 12th August which is on a Sunday. I am extremely glad you are coming to the moors as I understand <Mr> Ruddock intends shooting without leave (he says at the seven springs) on the 12th. He grounds his right to shoot from the <allotment>. he has upon the Common and says he is determined to try his right and would not accept leave if offered to him … The tradespeople who
Report – Diana Beaumont to John Cradock – 26 Jul 1827
MY DEAR LORD
after a conversation I had with up your Lordship the other day in London, you will not be surprised to hear that Col. Beaumont and I have come to the resolution of removing Mr Horsington from our agency. Having been induced to place the management of Yorkshire property in his hands, chiefly from the confidence we put in your friend Sir G SHEE'S recommendation, by whom he had been previously employed, I think it but a proper attention to communicate to you the fact,
Report – John Cradock to Diana Beaumont – 4 Aug 1827
Grimstone Park, Tadcaster, Aug. 4, 1827.
MY DEAR MADAM
I had the honour of receiving your letter of the 26th Ult, and deferred answered it until I had seen Mr Horsington. I lament very much he should have given you any cause for displeasure by indiscretion with a woman. Saturated as the world is, and with so much of the same sort going on in every direction, amongst the very highest as well as those of an humble class, I cannot bring myself to consider it as an inexpiable off

Dear Sir
I have just finished the examination of your White Lead & I have been a good deal surprised at the result, It contains 4 foreign substances; Viz. Silica, Alumina, Iron & Manganese. The first three are present in very minute quantity. But the manganese in the state of Carbonate is so abundant that I succeeded in separating it & weighing it. To its presence I ascribe the bad colour
Letter – Michael Faraday to John Mulcaster – 1 Nov 1827
Royal Institution Nov 1/1827
Having carefully examined the specimen of discoloured white Lead sent to me for that purpose I find that the tinge is produced by the presence of a small quantity of the <Sulphinet> – The quantity of <Sulphinet> present although of no importance as to its weight (being but an exceedingly small proportion of the whole) is still nevertheless sufficient owing to the intensity of its brown colour & its intimate diffusion through the whole to occasion

Mrs Beaumont
Madam
It is with my sincere feelings of regret I have the painful duty of announcing to you the melancholy death of your invaluable Agent Mr Morrison, who expired suddenly yesterday evening – he had been occasionally unwell for sometime past, but particularly so since his last return from London, having experienced a very violent attack in his breast the morning after coming home; he however continued to take exercise in a Carriage or on
Diary – James Losh – 22 Nov 1827
Mr. Beaumont's friends between 20 and 30 dined together to celebrate his marriage which took place this day. I much fear that this hasty marriage with a very young lady, not over well connected (and what is worse probably not very well educated) is not likely to turn out well. Beaumont, however, has an active and vigorous mind and should he become steady in his habits, turning his attention to useful objects, he may still, with his great means, become a most valuable member of society.

D[ea]r Sir
I supp[ose] the reason why the Acc[ount] of the Lead Cos dues pay[ab]le for their Mines in Weardale was not sent you at the usual period last year might be that there remained nothing owing from them upon it, as p[e]r the Annexed Statem[ent]. – the amount overpaid by you last year may be settled in the Acc[oun]t for 1827: to enable me to make out such, I will feel obliged by your furnishing me with yo

Diary – James Losh – 27 Jan 1828
I had an offer today of the situation of auditor to Col. and Mrs. Beaumont with a salary of £500 (and the payment of my annual expences of one journey to London) a year. I think I ought not with my family, to refuse this, tho' I confess I do not like holding any situation involving responsibility beyond what is strictly professional.
Diary – James Losh – 4 Feb 1828
I had today a long interview (and upon the whole a satisfactory one) with Mrs. Beaumont, together with the Revd. C. Bird as to my Auditorship and everything was finally settled. God grant that this important step may turn out for the benefit of my family.
Diary – James Losh – 5 Feb 1828
I went with Mrs. Beaumont to Mr. Crawhall's (her agent's) office and she announced to him my appointment as her Auditor. After that we had a needlessly long, but upon the whole, a satisfactory conversation and examination of the books. During these, I think I obtained tolerably clear notions as to the nature and extent of the duties of my situation and my mind was much relieved by the conviction that I should be able to discharge them without much difficulty.

Sir
I am favored with your Letter of the 15th Inst and in reply beg leave to state the following particulars. The duty on foreign Lead imported previous to the 5th July 1825 was 20 per Cent ad valorum, and upon the Lead Ore it was £1-16-0 per Ton, since the 5th July 1825 these rates have been reduced to £2 per Ton on Pig Lead and 10s/per Ton on Lead Ore – this latter arrangement, if I am correct in my i

(Monthly summary) (On the duties of his Auditorship viz.) ‘to examine the accounts of the different Stewards and Agents and to keep a general superintendence over them’. It is not expected that I should take any part in the detail of the business, except in renewing the agreement with the Bishop of Durham and perhaps also negotiating (should it be required) with Dr. Phillpotts...
