cepttons, in almoft every inn from Yarmouth 

 in Norfolk, to the Land's End in Cornwall. 



Under this eftabliflifed truth, it is alfo an 

 additional fadt, that while the very refped* 

 able clafs, whofe integrity I applaud, and 

 whofe affiduity the public perceive and pro- 

 tecft, are obtaining the very beft corn and 

 bay that can be confumed upon the premifes, 

 without refpedt to the price of purchafe ; not 

 more from a defire to promote their hourly 

 increafing reputation, than to gratify the 

 happy fenfation of inherent probity ; the lat* 

 ter are conftantly procuring the hay and corn 

 only, that can be pufchafed at the very 

 LOWEST PRICE, without a relative confidcra- 

 tion to quality, confcience^ or reputation. 



Happy for the owners, much more happy 

 for the fatigued and dejeded horfes, if either 

 poffefTed the good fortune or fagacity to dif- 

 cover the internal comforts by external ap- 

 pearance ; nor can I conceive it would be 

 bad policy in the very great numbers who 

 conftantly travel, if they were to obtain by 

 petition to parliament a legal injun5lion^ that 

 the SIGN without Ihould be ftridly emble«
