requcft the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, or 

 the Judges at their next aflizes, to name one. In

 to fuch counfel as they think propers whofe deter- 

 mination fhould be final*

 be wanted. If fuch is not already taken, a furveyor 

 fhould be employed for that purpofe. A plan of 

 the property will be of great ufe to the commif-

 inrolled with their award. The boundaries and

 changed. Inprocefs of time, fences are grubbed 

 up and deftroyed; feveral inclofures made into one, 

 or one divided into feveral; and the ancient names 

 forgotten. Hence it is not uncommon to find that 

 an old terrier, without a plan, is unintelligible. 

 When the commiflioners have finifhed their valua-

 out of the feveral eftates, in lieu of tithes, I would 

 recommend to them to call the feveral proprietors 

 and tithe-owners together; read over the quality 

 and prices of the lands, and explain, to fuch as are 

 defirous of information, what principles they have 

 proceeded on. It is a matter of confiderable trufl 

 and confluence; nor is it neceflary that there 

 fliould be any myftery in the proceeding. Every 



man,
