I should be glad also that you would let me have the whole of the Correspondence of this man with your answers from first to last - also whatever Correspondence Swinburne may have sent to you.

Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Willoughby Gordon – 24 Jan 1824
To Sir Willoughby Gordon, Bart, etc
Doncaster, January 24, 1824
Sir Willoughby Gordon
I received your letter, with Earl Grey’s enclosed, last night, and was far from having any desire of taking the notice of it that, in the conclusion of yours, you appear to apprehend. I shall only observe by the way that the idea of my having been under a mental Delusion did not at first suggest itself to Lord Grey, for his conduct was

My dear Sir
I have received your letters of 21 and 22nd: the first inclosing a Copy of that with which you had accompanied mine to Mr Beaumont.
I must in the first place thank you for the kindness with which you have acted on this occasion, tho’ I confess my feeling, for the reasons I had before given you, was rather in favour of answering any call this man might have been induced to make upon

Sir Willoughby Gordon
I received your letter with Earl Grey's enclosed, last night, & was far from having any desire of taking the notice of it, that in the conclusion of your's you appear to apprehend - I shall only observe by the way, that the idea of my having been under a mental delusion did not at first suggest itself to Lord Grey, for his conduct was entirely at variance with such an idea.
It is my intention upon my re
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 24 Jan 1824
I rode to Newcastle on Wednesday … I found your letter had arrived this morning. The Newcastle Papers are all printed on the Thursday … I could not therefore get the advertisment inserted … I am convinced every advantage will be taken of it to your prejudice in this county. Your letter to Mr Brandling has been made generally known by Mr Brandling and those hostile to your interests who have spared no pains when any disadvantage to your interests in this question could arise from its p

Dear Swinburne
I enclose to you a Copy of a letter which I have received from Lord Grey, and also enclose Copy of a letter from me in consequence of it to Mr Beaumont.
In my proceeding in this Matter I beg that you will clearly understand, I do not presume to set myself up as the Guardian of the honor of your family, to which you, and your two Sons, are most fully competent, but connected as I am w

I have yours of the 25th and join the whole I think it as well that I had not the cooperation of any other person.

I now enclose the Copies of the recent Correspondence which I have corrected for such circulation as you may chuse to give to it: my letter to Sir John need not form a component part of this matter. Have the goodness to read the whole carefully over.
I did not mention this business to the Duke before this morning when Iaid before him and he read attentively these
Letter – Charles Grey to Robert Wilson – 28 Jan 1824
Gov. House Jan 28 1824
Dear Wilson
Many many thanks for your letter and for the kind and friendly expressions it contains.
I suppose Gordon expected you to call on him, or he might perhaps have private reasons for not <sending>. But as the matter seems now at rest for the present, it is needless to say more about it.
I send enclosed a copy of the latter cor

Govt House Jan 29 1824
My Dear Lambton
I sent Wilson the concluding part of the correspondence with Beaumont & desired him to give the answer which he had written to J.W. Gordon to you. As it was too long a story to tell in writing, I shall be obliged to you to inform Wilson of all that had previously passed.
The matter seems now at an end as far as I am concerned, & as Beaumont’s family do no
Diary – James Losh – 2 Feb 1824
Mr. Bird (Mr. Beaumont’s former tutor and friend) called upon me and I had a long conversation with him. He is a shrewd and sensible man and I do not think so ill of him as I did before we met. I take him however to be selfish and somewhat deficient both in the feelings and manners of a gentleman. He was originally in a low situation of life and his connection with a family constituted as that governed by Mrs. Beaumont must necessarily have been, would tend more to give him dexterity of
Letter – Charles Carus Wilson to Charles Grey – 3 Feb 1824
The Right Honourable Earl Grey
My Lord
I am directed by Mr Beaumont to inform your Lordship, that he has given me Instructions to bring an action against your lordship, for having used and published certain libellous and malicious expressions, to the injury of his character, and which he believes your lordship to have been aware contrary to the fact. Previously you my carrying this intention into effect, he wishes to give your lordship an opportunity of offering any explanation

Sir
I have received your letter of the 3rd, informing me that Mr B has given you instructions to bring an action against me for having used and published certain libellous and malicious expressions to the injury of his character, and which he believes me to have been aware were contrary to the fact. And also, that previously to carrying this intention into effect, he wishes to give
Letter – John Swinburne to Willoughby Gordon – 7 Feb 1824
(Copy). Febry 7th 1824
Dear Gordon
I presume you have seen Bts Statement in the Morning Post of the 4th Febry - the Report of his Marriage was very prevalent but we paid little attention to it and I don’t think I ever mentioned it in any of my letters, but there is something like the soreness of Guilt in the way he notices it.
Lord Grey should see it, and pray be kind enough to convey to him the following extracts from 2 letters I rec
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 7 Feb 1824
Sir! Feb 7th 1824
The advertisement appeared … on Saturday 31st ... I have no doubt Sir J Swinburne feels himself in an unpleasant predicament from which he cannot withdraw with credit to himself.

It is a situation I should be glad to <...> and in a part of the country I should like to reside in, but before I can take any steps in the affair, it will be necessary for me to obtain, if it can be got at, what t
Letter – Benjamin Johnson to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 17 Feb 1824
Mr Beaumont Feb 17th 1824
I have used every endeavour to obtain a copy of Lord Greys letter to Sir J S but I find that now impossible and the current report is that you are taking steps to <proceed?> against Lord Grey for defamation and this makes every one very cautious in saying any thing upon the subject. Mrs Beaumont told me she had procured a copy of Lord Greys letter to Sir J Swinburn when she was at Capheaton and he made the same statement at Newcastle but I cannot learn that it
Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to James Losh – 19 Feb 1824
To James Losh, Esq
14, Conduit Street, Feb 19 1824
My Dear Sir,
Before the writ against Lord Grey is issued, I wish to give him another opportunity of preventing the disclosure which must inevitably be made if the matter is brought into court. If it is once there, no consideration shall induce me to withhold any statement or evidence that I may think necessary to put the jury and the country in possession of all the facts which can condu

Diary – James Losh – 21 Feb 1824
Miss Arrowsmith (the new Governess for our girls) arrived today and I am upon the whole satisfied with her first appearance and manners.
I had a curious letter from Beaumont which made it necessary for me to write to Lord Grey. I sincerely wish I were done with this misguided man and his affairs: but I trust my last letter will prevent him from writing to me any more upon moral and religious subjects.

To my great surprize I have this moment received the letter which I enclose - and it seems to me best to forward it at once to yourself without mentioning it to anyone.

Letter – Charles Grey to James Losh – 25 Feb 1824
Extract from Lord Grey’s Answer to Mr Losh,
In answer to the communication which Mr B has desired to be made to me through you, I beg that you will inform him that he must not expect me to retract an iota of the opinion I have expressed with regard to his conduct, and that if he shall be so ill-advised as to persevere in his threatened action, it is neither by Sir John Swinburne’s family, nor by myself, that the disclosures which must be made are to be apprehended. The first witness I
Letter – James Losh to Charles Grey – 29 Feb 1824
Durham Feb'y 29, 1824
Mr. Beaumont has now authorised me to say that he has given up all intention of proceeding against you. And I trust I may add that he will in future abstain from all measures which can disturb Sir John Swinburne or his family.
From the first, I stated to Mr. Beaumont without reserve that the only excuse which could be devised for his conduct was that very delusion which he wished so much to disprove. And I confess I have been more surprised
