Rode to the Hill to see the great collection of Cattle at the Fair for which the demand was less & the sales slower than hitherto during the season. Transacted business at the Bank. Received £200 from Major Johnson who seems confident that the Board must in justice bear the Lessors share of the Sum awarded to Pringle, in the matter of the Sea Drift etc, as stated in his application, upon the decision of which, he will settle the demand against him.   Received also £51.11.3 from the County Treasurer, for Wood used at Haydon Bridge.  I was glad to find at Newcastle that there is a good demand for Lead at £18 Per Fodr., I had then interviews with several of the Tenants in succession from Scremerston, Outchester, Hartburngrainge etc & which lasted till a late hour.
