Letter – Arthur Mowbray to Shute Barrington – 6 Apr 1799
Durham 6 April 1799
My Lord
It probably may be the most proper to sell part of the Reversion of the Leasehold for Years and part for Lives, to Redeem the Land Tax, but where or to what account I cannot yet advise your Lordship, my reason for offering those Comparative modes of Calculation was to have something fixed to form an Equitable Value on both that the matter might undergo a Consideration so as to act upon the most approved principle. The Landtax Letters come slowly in, I

Letter – Richard Scruton to Shute Barrington – 9 Apr 1799
Durham 9th April 1799
My Lord,
Mr Mowbray has this moment inquired of me whether some material Alterations are not made in the Weardale Bill; in Answer to which I have barely time to save the Post to say that the only Changes of any Importance are the omission of Bollihope & Stanhope Commons, & the Insertion of Clauses allowing your Lordship’s Lessee to work the Lead mines without paying damages, & in Consequence of the omission of Bollihope & Stanhope it became

Letter – Robert Hopper Williamson to Rowland Burdon – 11 Apr 1799
[at head of letter in a different hand, possibly of a later archivist:] To Mr Burdon
Dear Sir,
Before this reaches you Mr Scruton who I understand is on his way to town will probably have explained to you the real situation of the Weardale business. The Consent Bill which he carries with him includes the stinted moors & pastures only, and the infranchising clauses have consequently been withdrawn from it, not indeed from the motive suggested in Mr Hildyards letter, but because in t

My Lord,
I trust your Lordship will please to accept my Acknowledgements for his late very obliging favour in reply to my 25 January and permit me to observe that from Your Lordships decided approbation of the Stanhope Inclosure Bill on the Plan at large as originally proposed, and by the Subsequent Order from Col Beaumont to his Agents to Support the same, I had in consequence flattered myself, that the Measure at large would be affected to general sat

In answer to your esteemed of the 24th March I thank you for your kind offer to purchase the Lead for me which I am sure you would do on the best terms in your power but as I find the price is lower at Hull say £16.10.

Sir I received your letter of the inst. It will not be convenient for me to attend the Meeting on the 26 inst. I do not apprehend that the placing a Gate at High Team on the Hexham Turnpike road south of Tyne will materially affect Col. Beaumont’s Concerns on which account I can not recommend his giving the Clause in the proposed Bill his opposition.

Letter – Rowland Burdon to Shute Barrington – 1 May 1799
My Lord
I have read F Tweddells letter with attention, & return it with Mr H Williamsons to me, which certainly don’t correspond with the extracts from Mr Scrutons. I wish all may be fairly done; but I cannot help thinking that if active steps were taken, the Bollihope & Stanhope Commons Proprietors might yet be got to sign their assents to the original measure, against the bill here <would be fitt> for the Committee, to which point it might be conducted in its most exte
