025 | This Dam, upon the authority of the Propr. [Proprietor] of the ground upon which it is, (J. Cooper) sometimes floods over the Arable & Meadow of which it is Composed to the extent shewn in A yellow dotted line on the Traces. The exact extent of ground which is flooded cannot be ascertained. That shewn represents the ordinary extent, which is now more than usual owing to the tunnel for collecting it having recently burst where the small embankment is shewn at the south west angle. The Propr. [Proprietor] of "Drumglass Old Lint or Spade Mill" has the right of damming water on these lands of Over Croy for six months in the year - from 12th. Sept. [September] to 12th. March, for the supplying of water to his Mill. Lawsuits have more than once decided the right of damming the water on Over Croy for the use of Drumglass Mill. For ten years the right has not been exercised of damming water owing to the Mill being idle. but the Dam & the Rights connected with it are well known in the neighborhood. Some persons call the Dam Drumglass Dam & some "Overcroy Dam" but the Propr. [Proprietor] states that it is not mentioned in his Titles &c. more than a Dam on Over Croy Lands for the use of Drumglass Mill. |
