If therefore butter be, as I confider it to be, the 

 only fingle commodity, by which the tithes of all 

 the productions of grafs lands can be regulated, in 

 fettling a commutation for the tithes of fuch lands; 

 I propofe, that the clerk of every market in Great- 

 Britain flaould be directed to make a weekly return 

 of the price of milk-buttcr in fuch market, in the 

 fame manner as the returns of the prices of corn are 

 made. And that in every commutation for tithes, 

 the commiffioners be directed to enquire, firft, the 

 feveral proportions of tithes arifmg in each parifli, 

 from ivheat, barley, and oats, and other productions 

 o^ arable land ', and alfo the proportion arifing from 

 the different prodiidions of grafs land; and then 

 fliould flate what were the returns in the London 

 Gazette, on the average of the year preceding, of 

 the prices of wheat, barley, and oats, and alfo of the 

 price of milk-butter, in that county. 



That the juflices of the peace for each county 

 {hould, yearly, at their Epiphany fcffions, publilh an 

 account of the average prices of wheat, barley, and 

 oafs, and alfo of juilk-butter, taken from the London 

 Gazette for the year preceding, for that county. 

 Atid that the diff'erence in the prices between the year 

 then tafi pafi, and the year in which the commutation 

 was made, Jhould be the ratio by which the tithes to 

 be received from every landholder fhould be regulated 

 for the year, endi?ig at the enfuing Eafler ; in like 



manner
