It is in contemplation to confine the 
river Caldew,within due bounds, in the 
fpace between Hawkfdale Bridge and 
~ Dalftone, wiltere the water has for time 
immemorial been fuffered to wafte many 
acres of very valuable land. It isialfo in- 
tended to render the aecefs to Carlifle, 
which is fometimes extreniely dangerous, 
and frequently impaff2ble, more fafe and 
commodious, by keeping the water avith- 
in its original barks, and by making a 
public road along the fide of the river, 
but without crofing it. ‘The bifhop, who 
is lord of the manor, with his accuftomed 
benevolence and liberality, has given his 
fanction to this undertak ng, not only by 
granting leave to cut through his wafte 
Jand, in any way which may be thought 
root beneficial to the neighbouring pro- 
prietors and the public, but he has alfo 
voluntarily offered to contribute towards 
the expence of it. As the expence will 
be confiderable, a fubfeription has been 
fet on foot to encourage a proper execu- 
tion of this laudable work.
