a6 SECOND REPORT. &c. 



The Commiffioners have had for their principal object in this Report, to reprc- 

 fent the ftate of property in the Foreft, the doubtful and the difputcd rights over 

 every acre of this Wafte, and the poilibility of any party concerned making any 

 profit or advantage of what is claimed as his property ; and of the importance to the 

 Country at large, as well as to the individual Claimants, to have all rights fpeedily 

 and fairly adjufted. When your Lordmips mall have determined how thofe rights 

 fhall be adjufted, confequently how the property in the Wafte of Windfor Foreft 

 fliall be allotted, the Commiffioners will be prepared to give in detail a Plan for the 

 larger or for the more limited cultivation of Timber, and to fuggelt better means 

 of managing what may remain to the Crown of the Foreft in future. 



The Commiffioners prefume to urge to your Lordfliips their full conviftion, that 

 unlefs this inquiry is followed up with determined ailertions of the Crown Rights 

 in this Foreft, this inquiry muft, like all that have preceded it with regard to other 

 Forefts, have the effe6b of encouraging the neighbourhood, collectively and indivi- 

 dually, to bolder a&s of ufurpation againft the Crown than any that have come to 

 the knowledge of the Commiffioners ; with the additional advantage given to the 

 inhabitants about the Foreft, that hereafter they will have to ftate, in defence of 

 their claims againft the Crown, any negleft which may be deemed a dereliction of 

 the rights which the Commiffioners entertain no doubt the Crown may now 

 maintain.
