Notice to be given to Mrs A Cottle to leave the cottage now occupied by her at Dudbridge on the 25 December next, taking the adjoining house at £5 p.a. William Clarke labourer to move into the cottage now in possession of Mrs Cottle.
The sub-committee appointed to inspect the canal reported that they did so on the 29 August, looking over the stores and finding the same in good order, visiting the works in progress during the stoppage, with which they expressed themselves satisfied. The houses of the company at the Bristol Road wharf were inspected and orders given as to various repairs, of which the surveyor took a list. Several other matters were discussed with Mr Peyton who applied for an increase of salary in consequence of the extra tickets he now had to take and he was promised that this should have the consideration of the Committee. The sub-committee went to Framilode, viewed the property there and it was decided that it would be best to adhere to the decision of the committee to pull down the two old cottages, but as it appeared that the notices to Rowles and Hamer were invalid it seems necessary that new notices should be served upon them.
