LETTER: W.L. Farrer, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, [London] to Lord Newborough to enclose a letter from Mr Teesdale. Legal action would be expensive, and arreas of rent awarded would be trifling. Appended: COPY LETTER (9 May 1845): John Teesdale, Fenchurch St., to W.L. Farrer. Trinity House would greatly regret an action for ejectment. This would be hostile and fruitlessly expensive, as the Lighthouses Act could be invokved. Rents paid elsewhere cannot be taken as a precedent for Bardsey. The sum of £516.14.7d is in excess of what compensation could be computed at, so they cannot increase this offer. Attached: DRAFT LETTER (17 May 1845): [Lord Newborough to W.L. Farrer]. It would be better for Trinity House to be confined to the land they can take by Statute, rather than that their offer be accepted.
