In a letter that I had from Mr Mowbray he appears to be hurt that nothing was said by you at the Meeting in favour of the Division, which he said caused it to be thought that Col Beaumont was not Friendly to the measure & requested me to write to you & set that matter right, I acquainted him that in case of there being an express Clause in the Bi

Sir,
I should have wrote you last week relative to the Meeting at Stanhope but I expected Mr Williamson would have informed you of the particulars of the said Meeting -- It is said if the Intended Division get forward, that Colonel Beaumont will not have the priviledge of discovering and Working Veins by hushing, should that be the case, he should not be deprived the liberty of hushing Wastes as it is not only the best way of working them, but also does leas

I trust your Lordship will have the goodness to excuse my addressing you on the subject of the proposed Division of the Commons and Stinted Pastures in the Parish of Stanhope in Weardale, in which Division being a considerable Proprietor, I crave leave to express a due sense of the various advantages the Proprietors generally are likely to experience from Your Lordships indulgence and liberality of Sentiment, not only towards Enfranchising th
Letter – Robert Hopper Williamson to Arthur Mowbray – 25 Jan 1799
Dear Sir,
I had an opportunity of seeing Mr Blackett soon after my return from Stanhope and stated to him that it was intended to secure to Col. Beaumont his right as Lessee of the Bishop of Durham to work the lead mines in the stinted pastures & stinted moors without paying any damages for spoil of ground, and I also suggested to him that, as it appeared to me that a very considerable number of the persons interested in the division at present kept aloof merely from want of knowing

I take the liberty of forwarding to you a Copy of two Questions that I sent to Mr Williamson together with a Copy of his Answer from which it will clearly appear, I trust, that I could not consistently with prudence, or as an honest Trustee for my Successors, consent to partial Allotments, or to a partial Sale of Tithes even for an equivalent in Land

I have very great pleasure in saying that Mrs Beaumont & the Child are going on very well. I am very glad You have retained Mr Williamson he certainly is a very sensible clever man. When the Bill is brought into the House, who is the person who will bring it in. it must I suppose go into a Committee, when the Clauses there can be agreed upon, but previous to its being presented if you will let me know the Solicitors I can consult with them what steps they would have me take.

Sir,
In giving my assent to the Weardale Inclosure I flattered myself that it w[oul]d not only benefit the County Palatine & the Parties concerned, but that if w[oul]d essentially promote the cause of Religion & Virtue & the welfare of the poor in that extensive district. The first object has in my opinion been very properly attended to in the proposed inclosure; as the interests of the Parties (as far as my information extends) have been fair
