| Description | This small group serves as a prelude to the effective operations under the 1812 act in the two parishes. The proposal of 1804-1805 to enclose, which is illustrated here by a draft letter to the proprietors and by a draft petition for a bill, came to nought. The ocular survey of 1807 and the enquiry made into encroachments show that Evans, for his part, did not cease to be interested in these commons however. |
