Rushden - T. Packwood, rate collector applied for a distress warrant against Wm. Adcock, for non-payment of £1 1s 9d for poor rates. Grants granted.
Mr. W. Murphy made application, as trustee for the Higham Ferrers turnpike roads, of £15 per mile. Mr. J. Gross, on the part of the parishioners of Rushden, opposed the application on the ground that the sum granted was greater than the parish could afford. The opposition was, however, overruled, and the following sums were granted for the repairs of the roads in the respective villages. Higham Ferrers £22 10s; Rushden £60; Irthlingborough £26 5s; Finedon £22 10s; Chelveston £3 15s.
