D[ea]r Sir,
Persuaded from what I have heard that you have just cause to be dissatisfied with Mr Scruton’s conduct in the Weardale inclosure bill of last year, yet I think you will not permit that consideration to render you hostile to that which is in agitation this: I am myself far from being pleased with Mr Scruton on the same ground. My own complaints however, <are&g

Mowbray,
The first thought which occurred to myself on the intimation which you gave of much indisposition to a Chapel in Weardale, I confess excited a disposition to proceed no further. But on cooler reflection it appears to me from the magnitude and importance of the inclosure: Both to the country and the See of Durham, that it’s objects should be attained at any rate. On this ground I conceive it better to get what is proposed by the Propriet

I was at Hexham on the 3d inst. to meet your Mine Agents with Subsistence Money for the Workmen amounting to £2800. I was sorry to find from them that the Mines in General were Poor.

My Lord,
Your Lordships late favor with which I was Honoured should have received a more early reply had I not deemed it proper to wait the result of a meeting then advertised, for the express purpose of considering the propriety of a Division of the very Bollihope and Stanhope Commons by Your Lordship adverted to, when by a great Majority in Number and Value, for forcible reasons then adduced, the Measure was concluded to be inexpedient.
