About this period, a man was eight days shut up in a coal pit, in Newton-West-Bank, opposite Ravensheugh, near Morpeth. He has nothing but a little water, which he collected in his shoe, to subsist on. Though faint when dug out, he soon recovered, and lived many years after. [LHTB]
Elvet moor, near the city of Durham, was this year divided (400 acres) ; the dean and chapter reserving sixpence an acre rent and the mines. [LRS]
