Farmers of any of the lands therein mentioned I know not And as to that other malicious Insinuation touching the Clark of the Sewers and the defacing and withdrawing of Records I answer That if any such have been the Animadverter if he know thereof ought to prosecute the Offenders I know some Records are missing which made against the Interest of the sommer-lands if produced which I could never see or procure and that the present Clerk who was sometime my menial servant was chosen Clerk but in 1652. and the proceedings whereat the Animadverter takes most offence were several yeers before when Mr. William Powell a well-wisher to the sommer-lands being Farmer unto a considerable part thereof and Tenant unto Sir Edward Hales was Clerk of the Sewers My Lords I have neither time or opportunity to make particular Answers to the many malicious Surmises and Calumnies cast upon S. N. P. by the Animadverter in every page of those Animadversions who the better to blast and invalidate whatever should be by him produced or urged doth not take notice of his Grandfather or any of his Reasons or Arguments who was an Actor in all those transactions which passed at such time when I was wholly a stranger to those Levels and often declared them with the Grounds and Reasons of them but with oblique reflexions insinuates them as my Fancies and Constructions grounded only upon ipse dixit I desire your Lordships to call to mind That Sir Thomas Culpeper who was the Dean and Chapters Tenant to the High-lands in Appledore about fourty yeers and knew best what benefit and security those lands had received and enjoyed by those works did joyn with other Commissioners in several Decrees whereby those lands are scotted to the Works and Indraught in Wittersham Level My Lords I have hereunto annexed the late presentment of the Jurors at Tenterden with the Decrees thereupon made and some Observations upon both which I refer to your Lordships consideration At a Session of Sewers holden at Tenterden in the County of Kent the 16th day of June in the 15th yeer of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King Charles the second by the Grace of God of England Scotland France and Ireland King Defender of the Faith c.

WE Present that for the preservation of the three thousand Acres of drowned lands and the two thousand Acres of the sommer-lands within the Upper Levels That the said sommer-lands be scotted at one third part in reference or relation to all such scots as shall hereafter be imposed upon the drowned lands to the Works and Rents of Wittersham as formerly hath been done Item 2. We Present That the lands called by the name of the High-lands conteining 222 Acres or thereabouts and 350 Acres or thereabouts lying in Redhill and Appledore and also 426 Acres or thereabouts lying in the Parish of Stone conteining in the whole by estimation a thousand Acres or thereabouts not formerly scotted till the yeer 1645. ought not to be scotted to the Rents and Works of Wittersham for that it appears to us they receive no benefit by the same Item 3. We Present and our Opinion is That the old admeasurement of the lands lying in Sherley Moor according to the larger Acre ought to be scotted as formerly and no otherwise Item 4. We Present the Gutts of Redding Redhill and Ebony lately have been and still continue very much annoyed by the slubb brought in by the sea into the Channel of Rother whereby the said Channel is very much swerved through the decay of the Sluce in Thorney Wall to the great detriment of those Levels in not well sewing their waters and dreyning their lands And our opinion is That the said Sewers in short time will be utterly lost unless some expedient way be found for the scouring the Channel in the River of Rother either by erecting the said Sluce at Thorney Wall or otherwise as your wisdomes shall think fit And further That if any new work or works shall be shortly attempted for the purposes aforesaid that all the lands drowned lands and sommer-lands conteining in the whole about five thousand Acres and all the thousand Acres in the High lands at the lower end of Sherley Moor Redhill Appledore and Stone may be scotted at an equal rate for the cleansing the River of Rother and not otherwise Thomas Lambert William Andrew Zouch Brockman Edward Simonds William Randolph Iohn Crips Stephen Pook VVilliam Brewer William Delawn George Swan Henry Frere John Bull.
