{chemes of an humble individual. The Board of 
Agriculture may, perhaps, hereafter be able, from 
the combined information that will be collected by 
them, to determine whether any thing can be done 
in this important bufinefs, and what meafures are 
the moft likely to give general fatisfaction to the 
parties interefted. 
But however the payment of tythes, in kind, may 
be an obftacle to the agriculture of the kingdom in 
general, it is but common juftice to the clergy of 
the county of Wilts, to remark, that fo far as refpeéts 
them, that obftacle can hardly be faid to exift. In 
many of the late inclofures, commutations, either in 
land or money, have been accepted, and the pa- 
rifhes difcharged of tythes. And where tythes are 
{till due, it is a fact, that there is fcarcely one cler- 
gyman in twenty throughout the county, who takes 
them up in kind; although the laymen, who are 
in poffeflion of tythes, too often fet them the ex- 
ample of refufing to compound them at any price 
whatever.
