Thursday 25th September 1834 Left Dilston at 4 in the morning - drove to Newcastle in time to set out by a morning Coach which took me to Milfield Hill. Friday 26th Passed the day with the part of my family resident at Milfield Hill. Was waited upon by Mr Davison, the Tenant of Outchester, with an appIication to the Commiss.rs to be released from his engagement, for though anxious to have struggled on to the end of his Term, he found it impossible to do so, at the present price of Corn. I told him that the Board had come to the resolution not to receive any more such applications after the 20th Instant which was now past. He assured me that his mind had been made up long before, on the subject, & that he, not knowing of such a regulation, had only delayed sending his application in hopes of seeing me in this part of the Country. I therefore took his Letter & forwarded it to Mr Lethbridge.
