 Norfolk cheefe is not to be purchafed in this 

 part of the county. 



The firft day of this fair alfo draws together 

 a good mow of cattle , principally " home- 

 breds;" either for (lore, or for fatting on turneps 

 the enfuing winter : for which purpofe, a fhow 

 of Scotch bullocks are alfo exhibited upon a 

 rifing ground at a fmall diftance from the Fair- 

 field. 



The fale of Scotch cattle continues for a 

 fortnight, or longer time, until this quarter 

 of the county be fupplied with that fpecies of

There are fewer cattle this year than has 

 been known for ibme years pad (about four 

 hundred upon the Hill yeflcrday), owing chiefly 

 to a great many having been killed by contract 

 for the Navy ; a thing not praftifed before in 

 Scotland ; and there were yefterday a greater 

 number of buyers in the market than ufual 

 (about fifty of the principal farmers in the 

 county); fo that the Scotchmen had the game 

 in their own hands. 



The principal drovers are Tate, Wigglel- 

 worth (Lord Galloway's fteward), MofTatt, 

 Campbell, Stewart.
