Westward Ho! Drainage Question: Mr. R. Morgan the Inspector from the Home Office held a second inquiry at Westward Ho! on Friday, with reference to the proposed enclosure of the Burrows for irrigation purposes. A numerously signed petition against the Burrows being interfered with, was presented by Mr. Lionel Bencraft, solicitor, of Barnstable, on behalf of the ratepayers of the parish of Northam … (discussion: only four out of seventeen members of the Local Board support enclosure) … The Rev. I. H. Gosset recommended that tanks should be put on the Burrows, and that a dike should be cut from Goosey Pool to floodgate, so as to carry the water to sea. The water would then be perfectly innoxious. Mr. Pynsent was in favour of this proposal, as the tanks were not enclosures. …

Mr. Molesworth contended that the proceedings were premature as did also the inspector, who thought the opposing parties ought to have waited until the committee had presented the report … (discussion of alternatives) …
