W.Pettman to Duke. A check of the Warrens in the North of the Island against plans made by Smyth has shown these plans to be quite unreliable. Having gone over the ground with the several tenants he finds that there have been a number of encroachments,and has arranged for a new plan,showing these, to be made by Mr.Cowell who,being well known and respected in the district should be able to do so,though a stranger would be sure to meet with opposition and probably have to face a Manx jury on a charge of trespass. Mr.Cowell's plan shows the Duke's property to be much larger than had been previously reported.
