13.3.1907 Accommodation Living Bridge No 80 Gt Linford. Re boatmen refusing to shut same.
Saturday March 2nd 11.30 am Mr William Hedges, farmer, of Linford was in his fields adjoining swing bridge No 80 Gt Linford Parish on Saturday morning Mar 2nd when Messrs Fellows Morton and Clayton’s Steamer VICTORIA Captain Wilkinson and butty boat HETTIE Captain Henry Smith working north or towards Braunston passed through the above Swing Bridge and left the same off or open and Henry Smith whose duty it was to put the bridge over again refused to do so, although requested by Mr Hedges . Smith also refused to give his name to Mr Hedges.
Friday March 8th about 9.30 pm Messrs Fellows Morton & Clayton Ltd Steamer QUEEN Captain Edward Griffiths and butty boat MARPLE Captain John Wenlock – These men also left the swing bridge open or off. Mr Hedges caught them and spoke to them about putting the bridge over and they said they knew nothing about it.
Summons 1st Henry Smith captain of boat HETTIE but now working for E Smith Canal Carrier of Brentford.
Summons 2nd John Wenlock captain of FMC boat MARPLE at Braunston
There is a notice on the bridge cautioning boatmen re closing bridge:
GJC Notice: Any person in charge of a boat, barge or other vessel neglecting to close or fasten this swing bridge after passing through the same is liable to a penalty of 10/- By order Oct 1904
Occupier has to go round to next bridge half a mile away when swing bridge is open. Millner/?
19.6.1914 On the 13th inst when your steamer QUEEN was
passing through lock 11 at Buckby, Beresford the mate of the butty boat Kineton
drew the lower paddles before closing the top gates and by so doing wasted a
considerable quantity of water as we are too well off for water at present I
must put a stop to the reckless way of working the locks. I shall feel greatly obliged if you will
inform Beresford that unless he comes to the office when next passing and pays
the sum of 5/-, I shall take a summons under the Company’s byelaw No 8 for the
full penalty of 40/-. Millner/FMC
30.6.1914 QUEEN
working through Blisworth Tunnel on 21st inst……Millner/FMC
not
dated Dear Mr Millner, On
arriving at Cosgrove I found that steamers QUEEN
& VANGUARD had followed the iceboat and were prepared to go on tomorrow, so
gave instructions for your Cosgrave boat to make an early start for Fenny and
wait there for orders. Steamer VICEROY
and butty had left for Blisworth so get them through
to Braunsrton if possible and then stop. We arrived home at 4.25 having had a good run
though on the cold side. Gordon Thomas
