Letter – Wallace – 25 Jun 1826
To the Freeholders of Northumberland
Liddell’s & Beaumont’s Coalition
This odious & unnatural Coalition has roused the just indignation of the whole County. The facts now betraying it are of themselves sufficient to excite & reprobation of every honest man. But much more remains behind the scenes which must be laid bare. It is now quite clear that an understanding between Mrs Beaumont & Lord Ravensworth has long existed & that all pecuniary difficulties

So many erroneous impressions have been found regarding these letters, that I deem it right to publish them for the entire satisfaction of all, whether friends or opponents. — The first was written on the evening of that day when I first came forward for the County and when I fully expected a contest with Lord Howick.

THE EARL OF DURHAM AND MR. WENTWORTH BEAUMONT'S DUEL.
The following extract will be interesting at the present moment. Mr. Beaumont is the gentleman whose quarrel with Mr. Somers is the subject of general conversation:- ’It may be safely affirmed that few public proceedings are more frequently the causes of duels than elections. The present position of one of the parties will render the following duel of more than common interest. In 1826, Lord Howick offered himself as a candid

I received your Letter of the 27 Ult. & regret the difference of opinion between Us as to the sum due to the late Bishop of Durham for Lot Ore. - To be correct is the wish no doubt of both. – If his Lordship had died in the longest instead of the shortest Quarter of the Year We should have taken the number of days as they occurred and proportioned the payment accordingly.

Sir
As no specific Agreement is yet made with the Bishop & Rector I must request that you will suspend Letting any <Ore> Bargains until that is accomplished, or until it is known the footing, we are in future to be upon, with them. – I think the above will be a proper reason to assign to the Men for delaying the Bargains; and more I would not recommend you to say. – at the same time if you can reduce the workings by employing fe
