Title
John Gell to Philip Gell - Sir Richard Arkwright is such a child that if we were to know when and how he came to town, he would imagine some inspiration in all the party - Arkwright has employed 6 solicitors when one would have done - Arkwright could be of great use, particularly among the Scots peers - Stracey urges a petition setting out the starvation and necessity of corn and fuel for the inhabitants as the former petitions was not so much as looked at and Lord Harrington's and Derby Corporation's petitions were thrown under a table in the Lords - have signed a bond to the Erewash to give them power to take water from their sluices when needed - Craddock is an interested man, as a boat owner and coal owner he wants all the track for himself - the Duchess of Rutland signed the paper for the Duke as an Erewash proprietor - they have a majority both in numbers and shares. 11 Jun
