Rode through the Estate of Thornbrough to see the new boundary Fence & some old hedges which the Tenant applied for leave to take out.  Besides being very bad they are very inconveniently placed now that the Farms are laid together, & there is a much better division of them than they make sh’d they at any future be separated.  I therefore consented to his removing them at his own cost - examined some things at the Lime Kiln & Quarry Farm & afterwards the draining of a Field on Corbridge Farm, now completed most effectually.  Received tenders for the Field at Wark & forwarded them with a Letter to the Secretary.
