J Graham Reports

Agreable to the Orders of Last week I waited upon the Managers of the Black Boy Colliery at the foot of the Plain respecting the Claim made by them
From their report it appeares that the New Pit Started work in September 1840 and that the waggons
was to Haul by their Horses up to May 1841, which is about 30 Weeks at £1-16-0 per £54
