Refpecting the goodnefs of the mutton, enquiry muft be made 

 of Mr. Giblet, at whofe mop the carcafes were (hewn for fe- 

 veral days, and of his cuftomers who purchafed the joints. 

 Experience has, however, demonftrated already, both at 

 Windfor and at Weybridge, that Spanifh mutton is of the beft 

 quality for a gentleman's table. 

 Sale of their pelt The pelt wool of thefe 1 1 fheep was taken off, in order that 

 its value might be afcertained.

It was fold as fkin wool for 4-s. 6d. a pound, and of courfe 

 produced 51. 19s. or 10s. a fheep, all expences deducted.

 improvement of the Britifh fleece, by croffing various breeds 

 with Spanifh rams prefented by his majefty to the Marquis of 

 Bath, and to the Bath Agricultural Society.

 dicious and refpectable body from whom he borrowed rams, 

 for cloths made of his own wool, in the midft of a manufac- 

 turing country and amongft abundance of able competitors, 

 prove to a demonftration, that he has brought the fleeces of 

 the mixed breed very nearly to the value of the original Spa-
