 that it amounts to above 20 *.

 muft not be pafled over. 



I apprehend it will be thought that the 

 wages, board, &c. &c. of a bailey cannot

 of his office, defires much higher wages, 

 and expences of all kinds, than inferior 

 ones.' 20 /. a year is the loweft pay that I 

 am acquainted with, even for a working 

 bailey, that fells the corn, &c. and his 

 board, wafhing, lodging, ufe of a horfe 

 pretty often, &CT&C. cannot amount, in any 

 gentleman's family even of fmall fortune, 

 to lefs than 20 /. more.

 ufed in various forms, fometimes as a total expence per 

 team, and at others all thrown into labour ; in the latter

 cafe, and 1 2 in the other at 27. Minute accuracy, as I have 

 often obferved, is not only ufelcfs, but impoffible, if it were 

 ever fo ufeful.
