Content description
Newport.
David Williams to Thomas Bold: reports the results of his enquiries about properties on which chief rents are due to the College. He sends a letter from John Seys about Dickson, the mason who succeeded on Mitchell's death, whom Bold considers incompetent (ECR 64 631). This and two previous letters from Mr Rowland, General Surveyor of the Level in 1824 and 1826, show that the College walls have been attended to and that the work is expensive and great damage can be caused by one tide. Goldcliff is an expensive estate because of the need to maintain walls, gouts, reens, bridges, chancels etc., and the College should bear this in mind. Some landowners have taken and enclosed small strips of land between their land and the road; Williams has tried to get them to an acknowledgement for this but with little success. He hopes he has answered all Mr Bethell's questions to Mr Bold.
