Default Newton & Longframlington Collieries

This one has come via "Chancery", one of the most prolific sources of stories for Charles Dickens!
Newcastle Courant, 16 February 1855:

"In Chancery, Charleton v Robson, valuable leasehold collieries at Newton-on-the-Moor and Long Framlington, Northumberland.
Mr Brough will sell by auction, at the Queen's Head Hotel, Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, on Saturday, the 10th day of March, 1855, at 1 for 2 o'clock precisely, in one lot,
The colliery, coal mine and seams or beds of coal, called the Newton on the Moor Colliery, containing, by estimation, 1,521 acres, or thereabouts, situate upon and under the estate of Samuel Edward Widdrington, Esquire, in the several parishes of Shilbottle and Felton, and the chapelry of Long Framlington.
Also, all the plant, machinery, engines and working gear, and effects, standing and being, in, upon, or about the said colliery and premises.
Also, all those nine messuages or cottages, situate at or near to the said colliery, and usually occupied by the workmen employed in or about the same.
The above colliery and premises are held by the vendors under a lease from Samuel Edward Widdrington, Esquire, for a term of sixty three years, from the 31st December, 1847, at low ground and shaft rents.
Also, all of the colliery, coal mine, and seams or beds of coal, commonly called the Long Framlington Colliery, comprising all seams of coal lying under the farms and lands within the chapelry of Long Framlington, commonly called or known as the East Stead, the West Stead, and Canada, now or lately in the occupation of Ralph Rankin, as tenant thereof. And also, under the four closes of land, commonly called the Northgate Lands, in Long Framlington aforesaid, and now or lately occupied by Messrs. Lambert, along with the Hill Hall Farm.
