Letter – Thomas Emerson to John Erasmus Blackett – 1 Mar 1799
Sir,
I attended the meeting at Chapel on Monday last There was a strong party much against the clause in the Bill empowering Colonel Beaumont to work the mines within the stinted pastures without paying damages but from the strong arguments used by Mr Mowbray & other gentlemen most of the party submitted to the Clauses And signed the Bill (only Wallis excepted) so I think there is not any doubt now but that the Division will get forward Mr Harding did not attend the meeting I suppose from

My dear Sir
I have the Favor of Yours this morning enclosing Mr Herons form for the Appointments to the Curacy of Hexham, I will see the Bishop of York on Monday about it. I should wish most certainly to Buy my Land Tax, in January I bought in 4000£ in the 3 p Cents, for which I got 7547£. 3s. 5d. by which means I could very easily transfer 1581£ 18s for my Land Tax. Do you think it would be better for us to pay the Income Bill in North[umberlan]d or in each County separate, as it can make

Mr Easterby, requests to know the lowest price Mr. Blackett wou'd charge for 500 or 600 Pieces of Common Lead for Exportation.

By the last post I sent Mr Tweedale's accounts of Rents etc but he has omitted one Farm of 144£ per year which I have wrote about. Stanhope rates <8 %> for his Farm houses & 10 % for Cottages, how far he may be right I can't say but I am <sure he will> not exceed his valuation. But he will charge as much for the Reduction as any man can do. I have seen the Archbishop of York this morning and the Appointment of Mr Fleming will immediately take place. I am

Sir,
You will perhaps not see more on the two last pages of Mr Harvey’s letter, than you already know, respecting the Enclosure Bill. I have to lament, as an individual, that the great and good wishes and intentions of the Bishop of Durham, seem to be thrown on the back ground, convinced as I fully am, from my perfect knowledge of the manners and pursuits of the people of the western parts of the parish of Stanhope, (amongst whom I spent the fi
