man, whofe property is at flake, has an undoubted 

 right to give his opinion, and to produce evidence 

 relative to fuch matters as he conceives to be wrong. 

 However contrary this may be to general practice, 

 I have frequently on Inclofure acts experienced the

 feafons, will fometimes furnifh ufeful information. 

 And it does not follow, that this open conduct of 

 the commiffioners mould betray them into any con- 

 ceffion that their judgment difapproves. The fums 

 which the feveral eftates are respectively to pay in 

 lieu of tithes being determined on, a fchedule of the 

 fame mould be affixed againfl the door of the parifli 

 church where the tithes are commuted for. If no 

 objection is made, nor any appeal intended, the 

 commilTloners , award mould be drawn up, with a 

 plan and terrier, fetting forth the lands chargeable 

 and exempt, the money payments now fixed, and 

 the ancient moduffes allowed: thefe, together with 

 their commiffion, and the oath they have taken, 

 mould be inrolled with the clerk of the peace. A 

 copy of the fame mould alfo be lodged in a box or 

 chert, within the church or chapel of the parifh 

 where the lands and tithes are fituate. If any of the 

 eftates mould afterwards be divided, and alienated 

 in feparate parcels, the plan will always fliew the 



lands
