Oppose the Cambridge drainage bill warned by navigator’s letter
A 1776 Cambridge Gazette letter from a navigator expresses distrust of a drainage and navigation opposition led by attorney C Martindale. He recounts paying for opposing bills, facing legal costs, and warns against costly, unproductive opposition that could harm local commerce and land preservation. The author notes the broader stakes for 300,000 acres of Britain’s land and urges cautious action.
