In the chronicle
At the table
Spends more on lamp oil for four lanes than the council on its whole watch. It tried to clear riders from its tramroad section in 4602 and was defeated in eleven days; conceded wage payment outside the pub in 4610; declined to survey the underground after 4601; and its bounty on Cut entries was once answered by two men paid to lie (4593). Its 4601 survey (eleven acres, three days underground) is the paper to distrust; it has not surveyed since and will not open unplanned ground. Wants a mouth closed and cares for nothing else, making it a useful cover for the made-ground commission.
