Tuesday 24th March Attended a Meeting of the Road Trustees at Corbridge and proposed certain improvements which were adopted. Met Mr Parkin to determine some arrangements about the Woodlands & attended to routine business of the Office. No occurrence of importance. Wednesday 25th March Attended a Fair at Hexham where I met many of the Tenants, Agents of the Railway & other parties with whom I had business. The sale of Cattle was exceedingly dull & the prices low. They are approaching the very depressed standard of the Wheat market. It is not likely indeed that one description of food should maintain for any length of time, a much higher rate of value than another, but their approximation adds to the dreadful depression which now paralizes all the exertions of the Agriculturalist. Mr Dickinson went to obtain a supply of Stamps and to get some of them printed for use on the Rent days.
