TitlePapers concerning the bedesmen's rights and the salmon dispute
Date1754 - 1830
Extent1 bundle and 4 items
DescriptionPapers mainly related to the salmon dispute, together with other management papers for the building owned by the hospital in Don Street.

While the grant of a salmon from the Don fishings to each bedesman annually was not a provision of the foundation charter, it was evidently a long-standing tradition by the 1820s, when the proprietors of the Don fishings proposed to discontinue the practice.
