TitlePetition of Several of the Owners and Occupiers of Lands lying in the Hundred Foot Wash
DescriptionThe petitioners report that their lands in the [Ouse] Washes are several inches under water, as the sluice keepers at St Ives Staunch have send flashes down the Hundred Foot River to assist with navigation. They ask for the threshold of St Ives Staunch to be lowered, or for the sluice keepers there to be prevented from keeping and letting off such large heads of water. Sixty six signatories.
