TitlePetition of the Watermen of Holme and Yaxley
DescriptionThe petitioners have scoured 80 rods of the River Nene to a navigable depth as promised, but through the negligence of the Bedford Level Corporation's officers the rest has not been made wide enough or deep enough and that a section near Stanground Sluice has not been scoured out at all. They ask for an order to be made to complete the work. Thirty one signatories.
