Befides about 8000 acres in the lordfliips^f Llanver- 

 nach, Maenachlogddee, Maerclocog, and Hemmes, 

 which lie in too high a region of the air, or are 

 fo incumbered with rocks, ftones, and dechvities, as 

 not to be capable of cultivation, at an expence which 

 the future produce of thofe lands would repay. 



The waftes are now depafliured by the occupiers 

 at large, within the feveral manors to which they 

 belong, without (lint ; and are thereby rendered of 

 very litde value to any one, by being fo over-flocked 

 as make it fcarce worth while to put (lock upon 

 them. If we except a few flieep kept by the inferior 

 farmers living on the verge of thefe wafles, the pro- 

 fit refulting from them to the publick is very infigni- 

 ficant indeed. I prefume the bed method by which 

 the waftes could be improved, may be to divide and 

 inclofe them; allotting to the lords of the manors 

 and perfons having common rights, according to their 

 refpef^ive interefts ; and making compenfation to the 

 tenantry, in proportion to thelofs they may be found 

 to fuftain by being deprived of the pafturage of the 

 waftes. 



The turf upon many of the wafles being a kind 

 of publick flock, for which the inhabitants of the 

 neighbourhood pay the lord of the manor an ac- 

 knowledgment for the privilege of digging; it may 

 be proper to let all tuif bogs remain uninclofed, 

 and fubjeft to fuch regulations as may be devifed for 

 their future management. Common-fields, and all 



intermixed
