Had an interview with the Lessee of Fourstones Colliery who produced a sketch of the Workings, explained that the Seam was cutting off and becoming very thin & bad to the east & mentioned the intention of the party to begin working by another Shaft farther to the West.

Heard from Mr Thomson that he had taken another farm & must leave Chesterhill at May day next & wished to have an arrangement made for his away going Crop, which includes rather more than he is intitled to, though not laid out so intentionally by him.
