A complicated property dispute in Cumberland, fuelled by political enmity. Portland took out a case against Lowther and the Corporation of Carlisle accusing them of compromising his interests in the fishing grounds leased to the defendants. Portland lost and a pamplet war ensued.

5pp ms. in a secretarial hand, signed 'Portland' & with additional docket title & two line note in a different hand, on six folio leaves, sewn. A very interesting letter from the Home Secretary, the 3rd Duke of Portland, to the keeper of Reading Gaol, regarding the treatment of two prisoners, Robert Oliphant, imprisoned for 'treasonous practices' and Lewis Du Boisson, 'detained as an Alien'. Robert Oliphant was a tailor and radical; an active member of the London Corresponding Society (serving as its treasurer), and later a member of the United movement which advocated the overthrow of government by means of a co-ordinated insurrection in England, Ireland and Scotland. He was arrested as part of the government infiltration of, and crackdown on, radical organisations. The LCS was outlawed on June 2nd, 1801, making Oliphant's membership a criminal offence. Although it is not clear when he was released, it appears that Oliphant continued to be involved with the United Englishmen in 1802 (see Radical Underworld: Prophets, Revolutionaries and Pornographers in London, by Iain McCalman.) Lewis Du Boisson is a mystery. We can find one reference to a Bartholomew De Boisson being imprisoned with Robert Oliphant in 1801, but the trail runs cold thereafter. Although they were imprisoned together and clearly knew one another, we cannot establish any political connection. Portland's directions are long and precise, containing, as per the MS. docket title, 'instructions for the care and regulation of the treatment' of the two prisoners. These include when they can converse, what their allowance should be, and with further instruction that any letters sent or received be reviewed. 'They may associate together during the day time and at their meals and they may be allowed to walk in some yard or other proper place in the prison during a certain time in the day, but, if the arrangement of the prison permits, they should be removed to separate rooms at nights and they must not be permitted to hold any intercourse or communication with any person either within or without the prison unless by the authority of one of His Majesty's principal secretaries of state. You may occasionally allow them the use of pen, ink and paper in your presence or in the presence of some confidential person appointed by you for that purpose taking care that the letters written by them as well as those which are addressed to them be submitted by you to one or more of the visiting magistrates. There is no objection to their being permitted to read such books as may be approved of by the visiting magistrate. The sum of 12/4 per week each (exclusive of a reasonable allowance for colas when necessary and for beds) will be allowed for their maintenance and they themselves may have the liberty to choose in what manner it shall be laid out, subject to such regulations and restrictions as the visiting magistrate may think fit to order, with the exception however, spirituous liquors unless expressly directed by the magistrate themselves.'
