DescriptionThe petitioners represent that their lands between Manea and Salter's Lode have been flooded, especially since Thomas Carter took up the claw [sluice] at Welches Dam.

They also ask for the Forty Foot Drain to be drained into the [Old] Bedford River, and for a drain to be made between the lower end of Sixteen Foot Drain and the Counterwash Drain. Eighteen signatories.
