Letter – Shute Barrington to Arthur Mowbray – 22 Dec 1798
Mongewell Dec: 22nd 1798
Mowbray,
You have relieved my mind from some degree of uncertainty with respect to the impression made on the minds of the Weardale proprietors by Castle’s conduct, which as far as I can see, has been unjustifiable. Till he can clear his character from the imputations to which it seems exposed, it will suffer very materially in the opinion of others besides that of those whom he has endeavoured to mislead. He seems to me to have been betrayed into this

Letter – Thomas Bernard to Shute Barrington – 26 Dec 1798
Foundling, 26 Dec. 1798
My Lord,
I am very glad that the Weardale Negotiation carries a better appearance; when there is so much magnitude of Object, so much Intricacy, & so many little Prejudices & Interests at work, it is too much to expect even now that it will proceed without further Impediment.
I am sorry that the Rector does not accede to what is both for his Interest & the general benefit. Perhaps he would not object to a Clause enabling him to agree wi
Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 26 Dec 1798
Sherburn, 26 decr. 1798.
My Lord,
It gives me pleasure that my proceedings in Weardale met your Lordships Approbation. As I hope we may meet soon, it seems better to defer any detail as to Soliciting the Bill; Castle is I believe a very Honest Man, I am afraid he cannot quite clear himself of the Charge, yet I presume Dixon received what passed from him in private, at least so Castle says and I apprehend the young Men have handled the Conversation they had with him to its fullest
Letter – Christopher Blackett to John Erasmus Blackett – 28 Dec 1798
Dear Sir
I have by this day's Post received a Letter from Messrs. Preston & Sons, directing me to apply to you for 5000 p[iece]s of Lead and expressing a Hope that you will not reject their application which will put them on a footing with the other Houses who have made similar purchases.
I wo[ul]d have waited upon you on this Business had I not been apprehensive that the Hour might be inconvenient to you, but will call upon you at the Office to morrow morning.

Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 30 Dec 1798
Sherburn, 30th Decr. 1798.
My Lord,
On my return from Weardale I told Mr. Castle that it would certainly be better that he, thro’ any Channel he pleased, should inform the Weardale people that he would not support the Wolsingham Attorneys in opposing the Bill; and, he then desired Muschamp, your Lordships Keeper, who was at durham, to inform the Rector of Stanhope and others, that he would not support them; leads me to hope he has Nothing to do in this advertising Business - Mu

Sherburn, 3rd Jany. 1799
My Lord,
I was on Monday last at Newcastle with Scruton, and we called on Mr. Williamson and fixed the Meeting in Weardale for Reading the Bill on Monday the 14th Inst. Mr W will be with the Rector of Stanhope on the Sunday Evening and endeavour to bring him round. I take the Liberty of inclosing some Minutes I have made as to Tithe for your Lordships Correction, and I will be obliged by your advice whether I ought to shew them to the Rector in this or in
Minutes – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 3 Jan 1799
From a <cursory> View taken of Lands within the Forest of Weardale in the County of durham it appears that the Tract of Country so called contains by Estimation 70,400 Acres and from the most careful Enquiry and Strictest Examination, in it’s present State does not return annually to the Owners more than £3760. These Observations have been weighed and minutely attended to, so as on them to found fair Calculations from which it seems clear, that were those Lands divided and improve
Letter – Thomas Richard Beaumont to John Erasmus Blackett – 4 Jan 1799
My dear Sir
I have this morning seen Mr Hammersly the Banker, who I presume has some active part in the Sale of Mr Benfield's concerns. He told me his House which I wrote to You about, is valued at 25,000£ we are to see it to morrow, and are to have the <first> Refusal, what the selling price is, I can't say, he said part would be expected to be laid down, & perhaps the other might be so arranged as to accommodate each party. I will to morrow write You word of the terms th

Sherburn, 6th Jany. 1799
My Lord,
I saw Mr. Scruton yesterday after his attending in Weardale with the Bill. He tells me the Meetings were numerous and from the Appearance of Things in General he has every Reason to suppose at the Reading on the 14th the Majority of the Owners of the Fells and Stinted pastures will be for a Division, but he doubts the Commons on Acct. of a Number of small Land owners, Claimants, having almost lived by Surcharge. I presume your Lordship will conse

Mongewell Jan: 10th 1799
Mowbray,
You must certainly press a general Inclosure as far as your Majority on the 14th will enable you to go. But if it should fail you must in my name consent to a partial inclosure rather than none, for even that will be attended with it’s benefits. If success attends the first experiment I have no doubt of the plan’s being adopted afterwards. But in my opinion it will be advisable to propose to the Commoners, if they object to the general Inclos

We whose Names are hereunto subscribed having in consequence of being deputed by the Proprietors of Lands within the Parish of Stanhope, at a meeting held at Stanhope in the County of Durham on the 14th January 1799 to consider of a compensation to be made to the Rector of Stanhope in lieu of the Tithe of the Lands that are about to be divided, and of certain other Lands called the old Inclosures within the said Parish.

My Lord,
On the 14th. at Stanhope the Meeting was well attended, Mr Tweddell in the Chair, and he took a very active part. Mr Williamson also attended, and gave the measure the fullest Support. Not any Thing on that day was done with the Rector as to the Tithe, save fixing a Committee on Behalf of the proprietors to propose Terms (a Copy of their proposal I send herewith). The Rector came to durham today in hopes to have met Mr. W: at the quarter Se
