Mr Denyer seriously ill. Attack of erysipelas. Fears that he would not recover.
Petition from inhabitants of parish of Lechlade. Inequality of tonnage on Navigation. Increase in price of coals at Lechlade and neighbourhood, 2/4d per ton. Drawback necessary for those occupying banks on wharfs of the Thames and equally so for petitioners, suffering from short water and floods. Much trade with Burford lost. Low prices of coals sold on adjacent railway. Desire to be on equal footing with other wharfingers on Thames.
