Yesterday I was informed there had been a parcel of Derbyshire lead sold lately at Hull at £18.10. pr Fo[ther] in consequence of this Sale, we expect firstly to obtain higher prices than that, say £18.10 for a quantity, as Pig Lead is just now much enquired after, by the London Houses also by W. F. and Co. [Walker & Fishwick, Elswick] of your Town, by this, it plainly shows they expect it will advance between now & Mich[aelma]s.

Previous to my questioning Mr Scruton relative to the omitted clause in the Weardale Act, I thought it advisable to inquire of Mr Burdon, as chairman of that Committee, what he knew of the matter. He was clear that no attention had been made in the consent bill, while in the House of Commons; & said he would write to Mr Bramwell the clerk, who acted in concert with Mr Scruton in soliciting the bill. I transmit herewith his answer to Mr Burdon, w[hic]h exculpates Mr Scruton
