Description

Folios 465-467.

To: The Home Secretary.

From: Messrs Gray, Johnston and Mounsey, Solicitors, 5 Raymond Buildings, Gray's Inn, London.

Subject Matter: Letter advising that they have been instructed by H W Askew, the resident owner of Conishead Priory, and the estate attached to it, in the District of the Town and Hamlet of Ulverston [Lancashire] to inform the Home Secretary that he strongly objects to, and desires to oppose, the scheme which has recently been submitted for approval, for draining the sewage of Ulverston to the sea, and also to request that he will be afforded the opportunity of being heard against those proposed plans. They submit that Askew was promised, 'in the clearest manner by the Chairman of the Sewage Committee, that no application should be made to sanction these plans, or the expenditure, without previous notice being given to him (Askew) of the intention to apply, and that in disregard of this promise the application has been made without any notice to him having been given - 'he has only now heard of it by accident'.
