To The Coal Owners Of Hartley, Blyth And Cowpen. Gentlemen, When in my advertisement of the 6 th inst. I requested the coal owners of the Wear to call a meeting at Chester-le-Street on the 20 th I did conceive that I could not with Propriety extend that request beyond the limits of the County of Durham; but as it has since been intimated to me that any regulations on the Wear might materially affect the inhabitants of the Owners on the Tyne and also of Hartley, Blyth and Cowpen and that a general meeting of the Trade would therefore be the most expedient and desirable for all parties; I now beg leave to propose that such a meeting, for the purpose specified may now be held at the same place on the morning of the 3 rd of January, and that two men of such collieries as may wish to be present be allowed to attend. In justification of myself, I think it proper to observe that had I not possessed other means of information than what my own knowledge of the coal trade could supply, I should not have presumed to have offered to you any regulations whatever; but that with such aid I continue to indulge the hope that those I have prepared may be productive of that mutual good which it has been my intention to establish between you and your workmen; and by the adoption of which I humbly conceive the public peace may in future be less liable to interruption. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, Brancepeth Rectory Dec. 25 th 1810. William Nesfield.
TUESDAY 15 th JANUARY 1811. To the Editor Sir.- The public being already acquainted with the motives which induced me to attempt a Reconciliation between the Coal owners and their Pitmen, I now think it my duty to lay before them the result of the meeting which took place at Chester le Street on the 3 rd instant, in order that it may be generally understood on what grounds my view and expectations on this subject have, for the present at least, been frustrated.- I am not aware, that I can do better than by publishing the regulations I had the honour to propose to that meeting, and subjoining the respective answers I then received from both parties. I must however observe, that my disappointment on that occasion chiefly arose from the circumstance of the pitmen having objected to the Binding in April, notwithstanding they had previously agreed to that Period; and that the coalowners having acceded to the whole of the Regulations proposed for the reason they have assigned, does them much credit. I remain, Sir , Your most obedient humble servant, William Nesfield. Brancepeth Rectory, January 10 th 1811.
1 PROPOSALS. For regulating the contracts between the coalowners and their pitmen on the Rivers Tyne and Wear, and of Hartley, Blyth, and Cowpen, submitted to their consideration at a special meeting, held at Chester le Street, on Thursday the 3 rd day of January, 1811, by the Rev. Wm. Nesfield, one of his Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for the County of Durham. That the future Bindings of every colliery shall commence on the 5 th April in every year, for the term of 12 months; and that the principal agent of every colliery shall give their men 14 days previous notice of such Bindings. That the Binding, which shall take place at the Expiration of the present Bonds, shall extend to the 5 th April next, or to the 5 th of April 1812, at the option of the pitmen; and that each Individual employed in every colliery shall, as has been customary, receive in the first Case ¼ of a year’s binding money, and in the latter Case one Year and one Quarter’s Binding money, and in the latter case one Year and one Quarter’s Binding money –such Binding money being in both cases estimated at the same Rate as last Year. That a Condition book (which shall be subject to the Inspection of a Magistrate when required) shall be kept at every Colliery and that the principal Agent of the same shall enter into the said book all such Conditions of the Binding of every Pitman and his Family, as are not contained in the Bond; and that a Copy of each Man’s Conditions shall at the Time of Binding, be given him, signed by the principal Agent; and that a Clause shall be inserted in the Bond, by which to legalize the Claims of every Pitman to the due Performance of the Terms specified in such Condition book. That a single Copy of the Bond shall be given by the principal Agent of every Colliery to such Individual of the men as they themselves shall appoint, within fourteen Days from the Date therof. That if a Pitman be made subject to any Forfeiture for such Days as he lays himself idle, (except in Cases of Sickness) he shall be paid at the same Rate for such Days as he is laid idle by any Agent, or by the Owner of the Colliery to which he belongs except on Pay Saturdays, or at the Christmas Holidays, which shall not exceed ten Days, and in the Cases provided for by the 7 th Regulation. That all the Forfeitures to which the men may be liable, shall be demanded on the first Pay- Day after they shall have been incurred; and the same shall also be deducted from the wages due on such Pay-Day, if sufficient to discharge them,- but if insufficient, they shall be deducted from the wages at every subsequent Pay-Day, by such Instalments as the Master or principal Agent in his Discretion shall think proper; and so on until the whole of such Forfeitures are fully paid. But if a Forfeiture shall not be fully demanded at the next Pay Day after incurred, or shall have been once executed or abandoned, it shall not afterwards be revived or enforced. That if by any accident to the Engine, or otherwise, a Pit shall be rendered unfit for working, and the Men and boys be thereby laid idle for more than three successive days, 2s 6d per day shall be thereafter paid to the Men and 1s per day to the Boys, on condition that every such Man shall work at any other Labour in which it shall be convenient for the Master to employ them; but if the Master shall be unable to provide them with any other work, and shall give them Liberty to seek it elsewhere, and they refusing to avail themselves of such Liberty, shall be unwilling to work at such employment, when the Agent can prove it might be obtained- then the daily payment shall be 1s 6d to the Men, an 9d to the Boys; and in case they are fully employed in any other Colliery, this Payment shall entirely cease. That a Tub, being the standard measure of the Corf, shall be kept at the mouth of each Pit, for measuring the set-out Corves, and every Corf deficient in measurement be turned out and forfeited, but no other penalty shall be incurred; but to prevent as much as possible the measuring of any set out Corf , except in the presence of the Hewer who sets it to bank, two
2 Hours from the setting it out shall be allowed him in which to attend the admeasurement; but that at the Expiration of the said two Hours, or whenever the Number of set out Corves shall at one Time amount to eight, the Bankman shall proceed to measure and decide upon them, whether any Hewer be present or not. That in case any Corf is laid out, the Pitman who sends it to bank shall be liable for a Fine of Threepence for every Quart of foul Coal, Splint or Stone,- but for the quantity of clean coal remaining in such Corf, he shall be paid at the then working price; but in case the Quantity of foul Coal, Splint or Stone shall exceed four Quarts in such Corf, the Hewer thereof shall be liable to be dealt with as guilty of a wilful Misdemeanour and be subject to such penalty as the Law may inflict, exclusive of the aforesaid Forfeiture. That all future Binding money (except as specified in the second Regulation) as well as the amount of Smart Money, shall be agreed for by the Agents and Men of every Colliery, as has hitherto been the Practice. That for the Greater satisfaction of all parties, an able Barrister at Law, who is unconnected with the Coal Trade, and has no interest therein, shall be employed to prepare the Form of such a Bond, as shall give to both the Coalowners and their men the utmost Security for the reciprocal Performance of their respective Engagements. That in Case any Dispute shall arise upon any point which is nor provided for in these Regulations, or which is not specified in the Bond, the Matters in Difference shall be referred in the usual Way to Viewers and their Umpire, who shall be chosen in the same manner as has been customary on such Occasions; and that the Decisions of such Viewers or their Umpire, in all cases so referred to them, shall be final and conclusive between the Parties. Wm Nesfield. Brancepeth Rectory, January 1 st 1811.
Chester le Street, 3 rd January 1811 The Deputation of Coalowners have perused Mr. Nesfield’s proposed Regulations of this Day for the ensuing binding of the Pitmen; and although there are some points which do not entirely meet their Approval , yet the principal Heads are so far approved as to lead them to acquiesce in the whole; which they trust will effect the desirable purpose of obviating all future Misunderstanding with the Workmen. An Answer to the Proposals submitted to the Considerati on of the Pitmen at Chester le Street, January 3 rd , 1811,by the Rev. William Nesfield.

TUESDAY 5 th FEBRUARY 1811 SUNDERLAND THEATRE (The important details with which our columns have been lately filled have hitherto prevented our making any room for theatrical observations. In order, however, to gratify our numerous readers in Sunderland we insert the following short article which has been forwarded from that place). Sunderland January 31 st 1811 On Tuesday evening the comedy of the World was performed here, for the benefit of Mr. Bannister who was exceedingly great in the part of Echo, as was also Mr. Faulkner in that of Cheviot. Mr. H. Kemble’s Dauntless and Mr. Lombe’s Loiter, are exceedingly ridiculous; Bond Street loungers have not their handkerchiefs hanging out of their pockets like a tavern waiter. Mr Lancaster’s Index was very good; indeed this performer is always entertaining, although sometimes too ludicious. Mr Holmes was very respectable as Withers. The rest of the characters were miserable; and without exception the worst possible females were in this company. Mrs. Grove is a very excellent Old Maid, but Mrs. Darley would have personated the Gay Widow, Mrs. Bloomfield, much better. Mr. Bannister gave a selection from his budget, with afterwards Sylvester Daggerwood, in all which he met with the most unbounded applause from a 65L house. Mr. Grove was very fair as Fustian, and is certainly a useful performer; but if the managers study their own interest they will engage an actress to succeed Mrs. Dalton, whose loss is very much felt indeed.

TUESDAY 12 th FEBRUARY 1811 ANNIVERSARY of BURNS On 29 th January last, a number of respectable gentlemen of Sunderland, Bishopwearmouth etc. who are admirers of the Scottish Poet, Robert Burns, held their annual meeting for the purpose of commemorating the birthday of that celebrated son of Parnassus. Immediately after the President had explained the motives of their meeting together, of which everyone seemed in a most lively manner to anticipate, one of the company rose and addressed the surrounding gentlemen to the following effusion, as tributary to the memory of their esteemed bard.
A Monody, written and set to music for the occasion was then sung; after which several of his most admired poems were recited, appropriate toasts, selected out of his works, given, and it is perhaps rarely to be found when an evening has been spent with such general heart-felt satisfaction.

Newcastle and Sunderland Trader Merchants and others who have heavy goods to convey between Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland are respectfully informed that the sloop Sandwich, John Ogilvie Master, has commenced and is intended to continue a regular trader between the two ports. The freight in most cases will not much exceed half of the charge by land carriage; and as the sloop generally performs the round in ten days, the saving this will be to the public when goods are not in immediate want of, is obvious.

Dr. Fuller’s eldest son having lately returned from the College of Edinburgh, and is to act with his father as his assistant in the practice of Surgery and in the dispensing of medicine, the Doctor considers it proper respectfully to acquaint the public that on account of the assistance he hopes to derive from his son, he has resolved to exact no fees in the future for his attendance on his patients in any case where he dispenses his own medicine. In fact, he means to attend his patients on the same terms that other Surgeons in this place do. At the same time it may be proper to add, that as Dr. Fuller finds it is still not generally known that he formerly practised as a Surgeon, he feels it incumbent upon him here to state that he practised Surgery and Midwifery to a great extent and with singular success for upwards of 30 years among a wide and genteel circle of employers in Berwick and Berwickshire, and continues to act in both these capacities.

OFFENCE EXTRAORDINARY. We understand that the manner in which the marriage of Lieutenant S.G.Carter to Miss Browne was announced in the Mercury has given so much offence to a certain bookseller of Sunderland that he has refused to accept any orders for this paper . It is long ago since we were aware that the favors of Mrs. Clarke were extensive, but
45 ‘till the above occurrence, we never suspected that her influence extended so far north as Sunderland. Perhaps the stationary for her famous mansion in Rathbone Place was furnished by the gentleman alluded to; and as he is one of the lovers of the “good things of this world”, the profits arising from such a dashing customer may have made an indelible impression on his delicate feelings. With respect to ourselves it is a matter of the most perfect indifference whether the gentleman grants or withdraws his favors; for we are certain that our present circulation in the spirited town of Sunderland (200 weekly) would not be much improved by so squeamish an agent. He will remember, however, to be on his guard; for should his negative delicacy for business ever prompt him to exercise a positive influence to our prejudice, he shall certainly receive a doze of Mercury that will be very difficult of digestion.
