I have a report from Buckby that you wasted a full lock of water at
Lock 9 yeaterday morning by drawing on Messrs FM&Co’s steamer EMPRESS. As
the lock was the steamer’s and you refused to give way when requested to do
so I have to give you notice that unless you see me and pay the value of the
water so wasted my instructions are to take a summons out under Bye Law 37
and claim the full penalty of £5 Millnr/Mr E King |

I have reports from our tug captains that your steamers will work through the tunnels at too great a speed for safety and our men fear there will be another accident if the speed is not reduced.GIVE CAPTAINS GENERAL ORDER – Use more care, slow down, especially when passing the tugs and fleet of boats. On Friday evening last (8th September) the three steamers MARQUIS, EMPEROR and EMPRESS passed through Braunston Tunnel and one or the other broke our tug HASTY’s mooring chain and afterwards cast her loose at the fore end, and when the men returned to work on Saturday morning she was near the tunnel entrance.
