Meeting at 80 Lombard Street, London
Election of committee
Death of Mr Joseph Proctor, Company’s agent at Siddington.
Unnecessary to appoint a successor until the annual survey has taken place in the Summer. Mr Denyer to keep accounts in the meantime.
Messrs Protheroe and Waters are prepared to introduce Forest of Dean coal to distant markets on the River Thames if a further drawback of tonnage be allowed. To promote the introduction of such coal it is proposed an additional drawback of one shilling per ton on all Forest of Dean coal along the length of the canal and going to below Eynsham Bridge between the first day of October 1816 and the first of October 1817 upon the production of certificates showing the coal has been landed below Eynsham Bridge.
