Durham Chronicle, 5 November 1847: Lord LONDONDERRY continued: Mr. John Smith of Long Newton, had been recommended by the judges for the best and neatest hedges in the South Division; and he would receive the £5 in the office when dinner was over; He (Lord L) hoped it would be an inducement to him to continue those improvements which, he was happy to say, he had made on his farm. The judges concluded by saying, “We also beg to recommend to your Lordship the names of the following tenants who deserve commendation for the spirited manner in which they have cultivated their farms, viz;... Mr Farndale, Long Newton... This concluded the list of prizes and recommendations, and he was glad to perceive that a spirit of competition had been induced, as shewn [sic] by the increased length of the list. He trusted they would continue to go on together as harmoniously as they had hitherto done, and that the competition would be still closer among them, cheers.
