formerly. I mud obferve, at the fame time, that 

 upon the hirge eftates of a noble duke in this county,"" 

 I heard no complaint made in the mode of the pay- 

 ment for the great tithes ; inftead of taking them in 

 kind, there was a commutation fettled in a moderate 

 way, fo as to give content. In the northern part of 

 the county, 2s. 6d. per acre is, I find, only paid 

 for the tithe of wheat in fome places; while in the 

 fouthern diflrift, I have been informed, the tithe has 

 been raifed for the fame article, from 6s. to 12s. 

 per acre. 



This fubjeft has been fo copioufly treated, and fo 

 fuccefsfully too, I have no doubt, by others, that 

 nothing new remains to be faid upon it. If the 

 wifdom of parliament perceive it necelTary to con- 

 fider it, the clergy and laity mud benefit by the re- 

 gulations of this very important objeft; and my moft 

 earned wiflies are, that it may be attended with the 

 defired fuccefs.

In fome places of this county hay is tithed, in 

 other places it is not. Corn is always tithed, which 

 is confidered a great bar to agricultural improve- 

 ments.
