TitlePetition of the Owners and Occupiers of Lands in Yaxley, Farcet, Ramsey, Whittlesey, Doddington, March and Chatteris
DescriptionPetition in support of Humphry Smith's proposed scheme to secure the [Nene] outfall, which they argue is the best calculated scheme they have yet seen. They report that all the drains in the Middle Level are now so overgrown and decayed, and that the waters can not reach their outfall. They ask for the drains to be scoured out, and ask for this to be done before the Bedford Level Corporation begins work on the proposed scheme. Three hundred and eleven signatories.
