Early in March, 1881, a discussion arose 

 as to the correct boundary of the Bedale 

 and Hurworth countries, in the very north 

 east corner of the Hunt. 



The Hurworth claimed as their south 

 and western boundaries in this locality the 

 river Wiske, from Smeaton Bridge up to 

 what is now Frigerdale Wood on the south ; 

 from there up Stone Riggs lane to the 

 branch road leading to Dalton-on-Tees, on 

 the west. The Bedale maintained that the 

 boundary was the main road from North- 

 allerton to Darlington, over Smeaton Bridge, 

 past Smeaton village, by High and Low 

 Entercommon, to the branch road above 

 mentioned, leading to Dalton-on-Tees. The 

 matter was referred to two arbitrators and 

 an umpire. 



Colonel George J. Scurfield was named 

 for the Hurworth, Mr. John B. Booth for 

 the Bedale.
