TitleMemorial of John Dyson, Engineer to the Bedford Level Corporation
DescriptionThe petitioner was engaged as the Engineer to the Bedford Level Corporation in July 1824, at a salary of £250 a year. He represents that he has been asked to undertake works far beyond those expected, and that his present salary has barely even covered his travelling expenses to superintend the work appointed to his execution. He has since learnt that his services will be disposed of at the end of the year. He asks not to be dismissed, as he has faithfully discharged his duties and is now unlikely to obtain further employment for the remainder of his life. One signatory.
