Death of an Interesting Centenarian
There has recently been laid to rest in the churchyard at Coldharbour the remains of James Dudley, a life-long resident of the village, who died a few days before his 101st birthday. Much interest was taken last autumn in the celebration of his centenary, the villagers on that occasion presenting him with a bag containing 100 shillings, - - -
The deceased was comparatively hale and hearty up to quite recently, but during the last few months he had been confined to his bed. He was born in Coldharbour on Michaelmas Day, 1802, and commenced to earn his own livelihood at the early age of eight by working in the old Dorking flint pits. For the period of 63 years - from 1823 - he was employed at Kitlands, the estate of Mr Cuthbert Heath, and gave up work in 1886. Deceased's recollections carried him back to events associated with the battle of Waterloo, at which time tea was 8s. per lb, and sugar 1s. 2d.
- - - among others who attended were Admiral Sir Leopold Heath and his daughter, Mrs Crofton. A telegram was received from Mr Cuthbert Heath, who was unable to be present, and Mr and Mrs H.E.Malden of Guildford, formerly of Kitlands, sent a letter of sympathy. Employees on the Kitlands estate acted as bearers, and a number of beautiful wreaths from members of the family and friends were placed on the grave.
Some additional details
We are indebted to Mr H.E.Malden, of St.Catherine's, Guildford for the following additional particulars, which will be read with great interest:-
On Wednesday, May 6th, there died at Coldharbour, James Dudley, who was probably the oldest native of Surrey. He was born on September 29th 1802, and was therefore one hundred years and seven months old. He was born in Coldharbour, at a house where now the Plough Inn stands - the old inn was nearer the "top of the harbour," that is, nearer to Dorking. The house was then in Dorking parish; it is now in Capel. He was never for any length of time away from his native place. In 1824 he was working on the farm at Kitlands, when it was bought by Mr Serjeant Heath, and he was working there so long as he could work at all, for the same family of employers. He was about the village till October 1901, since then he had been laid up. - -
Within the last twenty years he told me that he had not been confined to to his bed since 1814 when he had smallpox. - - -
The funeral service was read over him in Coldharbour Church last Saturday. It was not built till he was a man of 46. He was a regular communicant there while his health lasted. He sleeps hard by his late employer, Mr Douglas Heath, who, born more than eight years after him, died nearly six years before him, at a ripe old age. - - -

Proposition from Jos Mines
Mines
8 years to run at minimum rent of £600 per annum
Old Rent of 800 per annum to be certainly to be paid at that rate for 1st Quarter of 1903. May possibly have to be reduced to rate of 600 per annum for last 3 quarters.
Johns Proposal.
Minimum rent of 600 per annum: but should any year the output of coal fall short of the 600 then the next or next bad one year only to pay at the rate of 400 but should the output afterwards rise enough to pay the 600 per annum that payment to be resumed as before. John to let us know of the reduction of rent the beginning of the year before the fall is to occur in the year following. That we may know at the beginning of each year what our income for that year will be.
If more than the minimum rent taken out so that the payment any year exceeds the 600 the extra amount to be funded so that the mine rent at £600 per annum may the 8 years.
Death Duties.
Which have been paid out of Estate monies or Gs monies £130 which we have to refund.
200 for Brick Farm Mine
Shall probably get 25 taken off this sum, possibly more.

Letter to Posy from John Loring

Telegrams to Wybunbury
My dear Aunt Posy,
The terms of the agreement with Rigby are as follows.
(1) The royalty on the mines is 21 per foot per acre.
(2) The minimum rent is 800 for this year and £600 for each year afterwards.
(3) If, at the end of any year, the amount of royalty on the coal got amounts to less than the minimum rent for that year Rigby can deduct the amount of the difference between the royalty on the coal got and the minimum rent from the minimum rent payable the next year.
E.G. if the royalty on the coal got was found in December of this year, to amount to 600 he could deduct £800 - £600 or 200 from next years minimum rent and would pay 400 as minimum rent next year.
In haste
And affectionate so dear
John Loring.

"The Mad Interpreter"
To the Editor of the Morning Post
Sir. - There are so many mis-statements in your reviewer's notice of my book, "The Mad Interpreter," that I must beg your permission to correct them. The opening scenes are not laid on the East Coast of Africa, but in the Gulf of Oman, a very different locale. The interpreter did not attempt to assassinate the skipper of the slave dhow, neither was he thrown overboard. It may interest my boy readers to know that the mad interpreter was real person well known to me in my middy days when slave-cruising in Admiral Sir Leopold Heath's flagship.
Yours &c.
Arthur Lee Knight.
