Thursday 30th April
Received Mr Weatherley’s answer to my application for information respecting the Scremerston Railway and transmitted it with the Plans found in the Office & a Copy of the Entry in the Cash Book and the receipt for money paid to parties from whom a portion of the line had been purchased, the Conveyance Deed for which, is likely to be at Greenwich. No part of the line has been sold off, and the branch leading from the present pit to the Sea Banks, which does not appear in the Plan, runs solely through a part of Borewell Farm, belonging to the Commissioners. Having no acquaintance with the circumstances under which the said Railway was constructed, I am entirely dependent on information to be derived from others, and as Mr Weatherly was Bailiff for that Estate at the time and also made the Surveys and Plans, I considered him to be the fitter person to apply to. If farther information is still required, probably the best way of obtaining it would be, to submit the particular Subjects of enquiry to Mr Weatherly, who is now in that part of the Country (at Belford) either directly or through me, with a request that he would visit the place if necessary, and make such investigation as would enable him to supply it in a satisfactory manner.
Was engaged in Office business, preparing for future Rent receipts etc, and attending workmen on the river’s bank.
