TitlePetition of Thomas Cooke, Thomas Bensted and Thomas Lambert, on behalf of the Inhabitants of the Town of Bottisham
Description"The petitioners represent that Thomas Parker, and his ancestors, have always scoured out and bottomed Bottisham Lode, but that he has neglected to do so for the last few years. They also report that he cut a new drain across the lode near Anglesey Mill last year, which has flooded their common and stopped the navigation. They ask for lode to be scoured, and for the two sluices in the new drain to be stopped up. Three signatories. '
