Journal entry – John Grey – 5 Nov 1834

Wednesday 5th November



Having heard that the Tenant of Eadsbush had been unfortunate in having money in the hands of a person who had absconded, & that he was likely to get into some difficulty, & perhaps to be seized upon, I gave Mr Hunt a Warrant of Distraint sending him to the place to ascertain the circumstances, with the option to put it in force or not, as he found it necessary. After settling Cash accounts in the Office, & others for Wood & sundry expenses in the Woodlands with Mr Parkin, the heavy rain which had produced a flood in the River having ceased, I set out to Haydon Bridge to look after some matters in that neighbourhood but only reached the Inn as it became dark.
