Journal entry – John Grey – 2 Jul 1834
Wednesday 2nd July
Rode first to Whitechapel, three miles, Westward from Haydon Bridge, where the new farm House is roofed & will be soon fit to occupy. This is a substantial Job, of which all the work is well done, & does Howden credit. He is now going on with the Stables. Then to Lipwood & West Millhills, both occupied by good Tenants, & for this Country, well cultivated - but both, I regret to say, proposing to apply to be released, on account of the high Rents

Received also the Moormasters Accounts & a Statement from the Clerk of the Deliveries of the Ore weighed over in the Quarter ending on the 31st Ultimo amounting to 294 Bings & 2 Cwts. The Duty received being 473 Bings & 18 Cwts which I am glad to say exceeds the quantity received in the corresponding Quarter of

I was called upon this morning by the Schoolmaster of Whittonstall for the half years subscription to the School there. The Subscription to this School by the Hospital is £15 a year, whereas to that of Deanraw & others it is £10. I am not acquainted with any particular claim which Whittonstall has to such preference, and having lately given a subscription of £35 to rebuild the School House, I shd think an annual subscription of £10 sufficient for a Teacher of

Received some payments for Wood & settled accounts with Mr Parkin. Having made no discovery regarding the Deals stolen from Whittle Dean, I issued hand Bills offering a reward of £10 to any one giving such information as to lead to the conviction of the offenders. Was engaged with Mr Green the Architect who came to examine the progress of the House, which will soon be ready for the Roof. At noon Rochester’s wife came to tell me that he was more inclined t
Journal Entry – John Grey – 13 Jan 1835
Tues 13th Jan 1835. I reported formerly to the Board that Robert Curry, tenant of the small farm of Eads Bush & Allotments, who is a very industrious, decent man, had been unfortunately cheated of a sum of money by an Attorney into whose hands it had gone for other purposes & on being called on to make it good was compelled to make an assignment. I obtained from his assignee payment of the rent due at May day and an undertaking for that due at Martinmas, and sent for Curry to come and sh
Journal Entry – John Grey – 28 Jan 1835
Weds 28 Jan 1835: Took advantage of the fine day to go through the several farms in Hexhamshire & among other proceeded to the distant & detached one of Eadsbush, wishing to ascertain from the unfortunate tenant whether he had yet obtained means of carrying it on, or had got security to offer, for his doing so. He happened however to be absent on that business. This is a small property entirely detached from any other belonging to the Hospital & of small value, consisting of only 26
Journal Entry – John Grey – 18 Feb 1835
Weds 18th February. Heard from Mr Crawhall that he intended calling on me tomorrow to have some conversation about Eadsbush, in consequence of which I determined to ride over to Hexhamshire to examine the allotments attached to it at present and endeavour to ascertain what rent could be obtained for them separately as he does not wish to rent or purchase them. I called at Rawgreen and Turfhouse, took the tenants with me & walked over all the allotments. These are the two farms to which that
Journal Entry – John Grey – 19 Feb 1835
Thurs 19 Feb 1835, At noon Mr. Crawhall came as he had appointed but I found him inclined to give very little for Eadsbush on the score of accommodation. He offers to rent it without the Allotments at £25 a year, to purchase it at £700 or to leave the price to be determined by persons mutually appointed by the Commissioners and himself. It was let last year to Curry at £47, altogether & at that time I valued the infield land, No. 1 on the plan at £30 and the poor allotments, No. 2 at £1
Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to Charles Babbage – 7 Mar 1835
Mr Beaumont presents his compliments to Mr. Babbage and is extremely sorry that he is unexpectedly prevented the pleasure of waiting upon him this evening. Mr. Beaumont entirely agrees though reluctantly with the opinion of Mr. Babbage that any Periodical for the advancement of <truth> without reference to any Party would have little favour from the Public. He is most anxious that the cause of Poland should be undertaken in some literary work, but he regrets that he can see no fair prospec
Journal Entry – John Grey – 21 May 1835
Thurs 21st May 1835
Set out at six o’clock and rode over several farms in the west part of Langley where there are some matters requiring my attention. It is unfortunate that any thing bringing in such revenue as the lead should be so injurious to the vicinity of its manufacture. The Smoke from the Mills alighting on the Fields has a most pernicious effect both upon the herbage and the health of the Cattle, which are frequently destroyed by it, and one drink of the water, on days when the Or

To the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital
Gentlemen,
Having had a bullock killed in consequence of having drank the water from Langley Smelt Mill I am induced to apply to you for remuneration, which I am satisfied you will grant, when I state the particulars under which the accident happened and which are as follows.
The wall which separates my pasture from the Plantation near the lead <Birks> was broken down to lead out wood and my cattle got into

My dear Sir,
Can we flatter ourselves that we have prepared anything for our approaching <number> on the 1st. of October? We shall be in England on Wednesday next, when <Young> will <instantly> call on you.
I have nothing <to say in favour> of the Parisian spirit of liberty at the moment. But their coolness and almost cowardice in submitting to doctrinaire tyranny is difficult to be reconciled with their rapidity of <indignatio

I have here so much received since my <…..> that I have omitted <telling you> that Mr Clerk (<….

From Crawhalls estimate I conclude that the House may be estimated at about 1500, and the remainder at 500.

Dear Sir
I have seen Mr Beaumont and he says he is quite certain that Tom Ridley said he had purchased a Poney and asked if he might put it for a time into the Park at Bywell and that he Mr Bt thought he had purchased it of some of the Lead Ore carriers and that Ridley thought he would be able to make a £5 Note of his Bargain by letting it run a few weeks at Bywell. Mr Bt. says he cannot have the Game at Bywell protected upon so expensive a scale. Rodd

Sir
Being on the eve of quitting Ireland on my return to England, I feel anxious, when my conduct cannot be open to misconstruction, to make every reparation in human power for any injury which I have inflicted upon anyone whose hospitality and kindness I have experienced. It is to you alone that any reparation is due; and it is extraordinary, that before my arrival in your country I have always considered myself as the most attached of your friends. Have the kindne

Mr Beaumont having been about on the Continent I have not been able to return an answer to the complaint made by Mr Watson and others of the damage to their land by the Allen Mill Chimney until now and as the application was conveyed through you, may I beg the favour that you will communicate Mr Beaumonts answer to the respective parties. Viz That as soon as the weatherwill allow immediate steps will be taken to remove the cause b

To Thomas Wentworth Beaumont Esq. Long’s Hotel, Nov 2, 1838
Sir,
I have just been informed by Mr. Dillon Browne, who communicated with you on my part, that you have refused to retract expression used in a letter to Mr. White, and reflecting upon me, and declared that I am unworthy of having further intercourse held with me. I therefore intend to seek a personal interview with you, when I may have an opportunity of convincing you that you were in error; but before I do so, I think i
Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont to John Somers – 4 Nov 1838
Sunday Morning, Half-past Seven o’Clock.
My Dear Sir,
I write in the most perfect good humour to express a hope, for Somers’s sake, that he will be satisfied with the offer I have made of being on the same terms with him as before. I have no vindictiveness in my nature, and desire in my heart only the welfare of all, be they who they may. Should he seek to annoy me he may rest assured that the punishment of every effort will be upon his head, and his alone. He does me an injustic

INDICTMENT OF SUMMARY JURISDICTION Of M. THOMAS WENTWORTH-BEAUMONT against M. SOMERS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Preliminary Reflections
It is rare that such a deep interest becomes attached to a case which has not been tried contradictorily. The proceedings between M. Beaumont, petitioner, and M. Somers, defaulter, have however created such a very vivid impression on public opinion that we have considered it a duty to record them.
The example given by M. Beaumont is such tha

MR. SOMERS AND MR. BEAUMONT.
To THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir-
On the 24th of January, 1824, Mr. T. W. Beaumont, in an address to the ‘Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of Northumberland,’ stated that lie found reports concerning him had gained credit which rendered him unfit for acting as their representative. He adds, ‘ I must, therefore, decline any further attendance in the House of Commons until I am able to repel the infamous allega

MR SOMERS MP AND MR T. W. BEAUMONT. LETTER OF MR R. DILLON BROWNE.
To the Editor of the Sligo Champion. Feuillade’s Hotel, Dec 15, 1838
Sir,
I beg to call the attention of the public to the circumstances connected with the late misunderstanding between Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Sanders, and to submit the following statement, which is supported by facts of which I am either myself cognizant or which are established by documentary evidence in my possession. The matter to which I ref
Letter – Thomas Wentworth Beaumont – 18 Dec 1838
To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle
Sir,
I have seen in your paper of the 15th Inst. a letter from Mr.Somers, to which I shall make a brief reply. In commenting on my conduct in the year 1823 towards Lord Grey, it is attempted in that letter to throw obloquy or ridicule upon me, for my belief in a ‘supernatural influence’. I distinctly acknowledge the JUSTICE OF THAT IMPUTATION.
Respecting the other charges they are false, and shall be proved so, at my leisure.
I am, sir, yo

TO THE EDITOR OF GALIGNANI'S MESSENGER. Sir Mr. Beaumont being on the point of leaving Paris, has requested me to transmit to you the accompanying letter from him, in answer to that which Mr. Somers has sent to several of the London newspapers, and which you published this morning. Permit me, sir, to take advantage on this occasion to repel the unjust attack which Mr. Somers has thought fit to make in his letter against
report – Martin Lynch – 10 May 1839
The fourth meeting of the Popular Lecture and Musical Entertainment Society, was held on Saturday evening last. The musical part of the entertainment gave great satisfaction. The lecture was delivered by Dr. Lynch, ‘on the prevention of those diseases to which artizans in lead are subject.’ The lecturer introduced his subject by shewing the difference that exists between the agricultural labourer, enjoying the pure air of heaven during his labour, and the artizans in towns, working in co
