| AP_48(3rd)_15 |
2.6.1827
|
M.Knott to McCrone. The efforts of Pettman are not helping the interests of the Duke,and it may be that he will have to stop working the mines. On the other hand,if he is properly treated he suggests that a Company might be formed to carry the work forward. |

| AP_48(3rd)_22 |
20.6.1827
|
W.Pettman to Duke. his plans for renting the tithes are not going well owing to opposition by an individual un-named. The Bishop will consequently have to draw his tithes but may have difficulty, in doing so owing to lack of gear, which he cannot. afford to buy, Pettman,unknown to the Bishop,suggests that it would be to the Duke's interest to offer him help. |
| AP_48(3rd)_23 | Observations by the Duke on the position. He considers that Mr.Pettnan would have been wiser to leave the question of the Bishop's tithes over until the Arbitrators had been in the Island, He has got his own tithes let (through McCrone) and does not see why he should have to lend the Bishop £1,000 or £1,500 to buy carts and horses. | |

7.7.1827
|
W.Pettman to Duke. General. |
| AP_48(3rd)_25 |
24.7.1827
|
W.Pettman to Duke. Mr. Fulljames has arrived,but appears to have taken a dislike to the Island, not from anything he has seen but owing to the unpleasant passage he had when coming over. Also,he is avoiding the writer. Mr.Knott has also arrived, and arrangements with him should be concluded at once or else abandoned. |
| AP_48(3rd)_26 |
26.7.1827
|
M.Knott to Duke. Mr. Taylor is sending his assistant, Capt. Barratt to value the mimes and, if this is satisfactory he hopes that his request for an extension of the lease will be granted as he has incurred considerable expense in opening them up and needs time to recoup himself. To this he feels he is entitled. |
| AP_48(3rd)_27 |
4.8.1827
|
W.Pettman to Duke. The survey now being made by Mr. Fulljames' assistant is showing that Smythe's plans,on which Pettman based his figures for the mountain lands,is very defective,the actual area being much greater than that shown. The value should,consequently,be much more than that in the writer's report. He thinks that the Duke should arrange with the Govt.to have the whole Island re-surveyed when it will be found to contain a much bigger area than they now think. |
| AP_48(3rd)_28 |
2.9.1827
|
W.Pettman to Duke. He is now going over the Island with the new valuer,Mr.Norman,wha has arrived,and is as pleased with the Island as Mr, Fulljames was displeased. expressing his disgust with the way in which Mr.Norman is making his valuation - which will result in a figure lower than his own,which is the correct one. |
