Monday 30th March 1835



      Received the Petition of George Stokoe tenant of the Blacksmith’s Shop - Public House & ground at Whittonstall praying for an allowance of Rent for present year.  His rent has been certainly high, but I fear the management of the House has not been very exemplary.  Received also a List of subscribers to an improvement in the road leading from Hexham to the Shire, with a view to obtain £5 from the Hospital, which as they have a good deal of property in that quarter, it may be reasonable to contribute.

      Communicated the above to the Secretary with a report on Mr Pringle’s Memorial to the Board respecting the reduction of his rent, was engaged all the day in communications to the Moor Master, Solicitor & others, and in official business.  



Tuesday 31st



Being Quarter day, discharged the Salaries & Pensions. Prepared the Draft Leases & all the papers for the Northern Estates and the rent receipt at Belford.
