… I was not made acquainted with Roddams having dug out the fox until the following day in the morning ... I went down immediately and reprimanded him for so doing and should have had him turned down but he was then so weak from being baited by a number of terriers that he was more dead than alive. Mr John Bacon of Styford I understand from Roddam had passed in the forenoon of that day and was asked if he thought the fox I lost be sent to the director of the Northumbe

I find in minute enquiry that the flood of 1771 was ten feet above the level of the rock on the north side ... I have looked over the damage Mr Harbottle's farm has sustained from the flood ... the soil of the Island containing about 20 acres below the Tyne Mills is entirely washed away and a bed of sand deposited ... Mr Harbottle makes his statement upwards of £260 but I shall think £200 a sufficient allowance … to be allowed at the Mayday rent day.

Your Letter of the 25th of last month addressed to Mr Wm Crawhall at Alenheads has been, by him transmitted to me, and to which I beg to reply. The proposal, on behalf of Col Beaumont, to take the Veins in White Walls ground, at a sixth duty, was made in reference to the situation of the ground itself, the uncertainty of the Strata in which the proposed Level will have to be driven, and the distance before a Vein may be cut; and
