Letter – Henry Richmond to John Bell – 17 Apr 1764
To Mr John Bell at Mr Ellis’s Newcas[tle] 17th April 1764
in Hexham
Sir Sir Walter Blackett told me he had seen Mr William Errington and that there was an End of the Affair about the Corfrods & that he has given you directions accordingly, so I thought it unnecessary to write after you have given the Six Bunches that were cut in Mr J[o]n[atho]n Erringtons Ground to his Agent Mr Bullock, as Sir Walter ordered; then you may sell the

London
Sir Sir Walter mentioned your taking either Mr Wilbrahams or Mr Duani’s opinion abo[u]t the Mines in Lislewood & over B[isho]pside; & therefore as you say Mr Wilbraham is so slow in giving his opinions you may take Mr Duani’s : unless you look upon Mr Beset as more experienced in these matters ; and then I dare say Sir Walter, who is now at Berwick, will approve of your applyi

Sir I think Isable Richardsons Letter of Attorney, of which I gave Mr Westgarth a Copy was upon a half Crown Stamp. Mr Westgarth proposed to get one done in the same Form for Ab[raha]m Dawson to execute and send to Mr Darwin, Because Sir W[alte]r Blackett had told him the money would be paid if such a Letter was sent.

Hexham
Sir I do not think it would be right for Sir W[alte]r Blackett to satisfy the Owners of the Soil for damages to be done by any of his Lessees of Coalmines; because it may make such Lessees very careless of their Workings in that respect, & therefore unless <MaldCan> will take Hexham Fell Colliery liable to damages it had better

Sir I hope Mr Revett is right in his Opinion about the Mines in the Freeholds in Hexhamshire.
