Monday 2nd March 1835



Received the Boards Minutes - informed Mr Baggs that he was accepted as the tenant of the Field at Wark at the Rent of £17 a year - but to have no allowance for draining - and that if he should at any time wish to discontinue the occupation, he must give notice of it at the previous Martinmas.   Sent Mr Hunt into the Shire to try to ascertain what rent was likely to be given for Eads Bush by parties wishing to have an offer of it, before again applying to Mr Crawhall.  After dispatching Letters & some Office business, passed the day among the people cutting hedges & filling up the breach in the Embankment, whose work was much impeded by the tempestuous wind.  In the evening, replied to the Boards questions respecting the conduct & efficiency of the Bailiff- Inspector of Woods - Moor Master & Clerk.
