Heard from Mr Crawhall that he would not advance upon his offer of £25 for the infield of Eadsbush, but in meeting him afterwards at Hexham & driving a bargain with him, he consented to give £26, to wave [sic] any claim to the allowance of Lime  made to the Tenants in the Shire & to take the Buildings as they are, being bound to keep & leave them in repair, which is equal to £28 a year & more than would have been obtained, besides having a Tenant with whom there will never be any trouble.   On this day the Railway was opened from Blaydon near Newcastle to Hexham, which caused a cessation of all work in the district, I joined the procession for a short time at Hexham, but declined the solicitations of the Directors & Company to take part in their evening jollifications at Newcastle.
