Wed 3 Mar 1875
To Thames & Severn Canal Co (J H Taunton)
Brimscombe
The Elizabeth belonging to Mr Bowley was delayed on the T&S Canal because of shortage of water in the short pound. The lock keeper was rude to Captain W Smith's wife and told her 'to go back and tell Mr Snape to mind his own business'. Why was the trade stopped without reasonable cause.
