Thorne. - Bland may have heard further news of the A[ire] & Calder canal scheme from Rodes; Lady Hertford now aligned with Milnes - quotes exchanges at a meeting with her and Mr Heywood; Heywood was evasive about A & C's plans and became very annoyed when challenged by Milnes about Lady Hertford's compensation; A. & C. are trying to quell opposition but too much land will be flooded for the scheme to suceeed; Milnes unimpressed by Leatham's claim to have outvoted a scheme threatening Fryston as it could never have been realised; Sir J. Watson resists on honourable grounds and old Watson does not care about the money; economic flaws; colliery plans more attractive.
