The brothers walked down the hill to Farmer Beeston next morning and placed the agreed sum of fourteen pounds in his hands. In return, he passed over an ancient deed relating specifically to the quarry and watched as they wrote out a bill of sale and signed it. He was not literate and took them along to the squireâs estate office and showed the writings to the agent there.
âYou are to sell the old, ill-fated quarry, Farmer Beeston, for the sum of fourteen pounds. Have you received that money?â
Beeston had brought the coins with him, counted them out on the desk.
âQuite right. Now, let us see the Bill of Sale.â
The agent read the short document and countersigned it at the bottom.
âThat is my word that the sale is good. Might I just examine the old deed?â
The agent compared the drawing to his own map of the whole parish.
âThree acres as measured between the posts that mark the Slatersâ land and the road and the boundary to the Easton estate. There is no marking on the hillside looking down to the river to the north and you must agree the line of a fence there. I shall be willing to walk across with you and set out the posts, if you wish.â
It was all very informal and done with by the end of the day, the people of the village all working together.
