491 SURVEYOR'S REPORT (Para 5)
MORRIS DANCERS GROUND - I am sorry to report that my investigations have not been satisfactory. Nobody seems to be in possession of any writing or definite information. The position of the land is clearly defined on the Ordnance plans, where it is shown to be about 20 yards long and 14 yards wide (average). We have no plans prior to the one of 1846.
80 SURVEYOR'S REPORT (Para 4).
MORRIS DANCERS GROUND - I have not been able to learn anything further than that in 1845 the land belonged to Adam Chadwick, and the tenants were Thomas and William Lyon. Tithe rent is being paid by the Moss Hall Coal Co. As the Council's law clerks are legal advisers to the Company they might have some information, but if not it would appear that a perusal of Dr Chadwick's will is essential.
82 MORRIS DANCERS GROUND Resolved: That the surveyor be authorised to take all necessary steps in relation to this matter, including a consultation with the Law Clerk and obtaining if necessary a copy of the late Mr Chadwick's Will.
MORRIS DANCERS GROUND - I have seen Mr Ellis again, and there is no further information, so I suggest fixing the four corner posts forthwith.
139 SURVEYOR'S REPORT (Para 6)
MORRIS DANCERS GROUND - The four concrete posts are fixed.
399 MORRIS DANCERS GROUND - Letter from Mr E. F.

Resolved: That the Clerk reply to the letter, stating the present conditions.
597 MORRIS DANCERS GROUND, PARK LANE - Resolved: That this ground be visited on the occasion of the annual inspection of roads.
