Tue 7 Jan 1812
Meeting at Globe Tavern Fleet Street London
Resolved to cooperate with the commissioners of the River Thames in making every practical improvement in navigation thereof from Lechlade to London - that from observation of very expensive works recently and judiciously made at Culham from information of others equally important actually ordered at Clifton Hampden intended to be executed with all possible dispatch; and from reliance on the further appearances given by the commissioners that the whole river within their jurisdiction should be forthwith made an effectual navigation. The proprietors of the Thames and Severn canal do not at present perceive any necessity for a junction with the Wilts and Berks at Latton and therefore judge it now not expedient to consent thereto.
