Durham Chronicle, 5
November 1847: Lord
LONDONDERRY continued: Mr. John Smith of Long Newton, had been recommended by
the judges for the best and neatest hedges in the South Division; and he would
receive the £5 in the office when dinner was over; He (Lord L) hoped it would
be an inducement to him to continue those improvements which, he was happy to
say, he had made on his farm. The judges concluded by saying, “We also beg to
recommend to your Lordship the names of the following tenants who deserve
commendation for the spirited manner in which they have cultivated their farms,
viz;... Mr Farndale, Long Newton... This concluded the
list of prizes and recommendations, and he was glad to perceive that a spirit
of competition had been induced, as shewn [sic] by the increased length of the
list. He trusted they would continue to go on together as harmoniously as they
had hitherto done, and that the competition would be still closer among them,
cheers.
