OF NORFOLK. 145 



The corn I am able to flate with accuracy, as I 

 have obtained it from the Cuitom-houfe books, 

 where the quantity exported is regiftered (a). The 

 cattle I cannot be fo confident of"; but I have 

 taken all the pains in my power to glean up the 

 bed information that could be obtained; and 

 where I have deduced any thing from companion, 

 I have taken care to be within the limits of jufti- 

 fication. The bridges of St. Germain and Mag- 

 dalen, afcertain, in fome degree, the number of 

 Scotch and Irifh cattle brought into the county; 

 and the turnpikes leading out of the county, toge- 

 ther with the afiiftance which I have had from Mr. 

 Archer, and other intelligent falefmen at Smith- 

 field and St. Ives, enable me to come pretty near 

 to what I conceive to be the truth. 



Laft year there were actually 20,594 fat bul- 

 locks, brought from Norfolk to Smithfield and 

 lflington, and about 3C00 to St. Ives and other 

 places; but, either from the war or fome other 

 caufe, this is confidered rather as a larger fupply 

 than ufual ; but they may be fafely taken at 20,000 

 as a yearly average, about one-quarter of which 

 are home-bred beads, and the remainder Scotch 

 and Irifh. The flieep are fuppofed to be upwards 

 of 30,000; at leaft they may be fafely taken at 

 that number. Objects, iuch as twine, butter, rab- 

 ultry, &c. are not of io much confequence, 

 but luLfice it, that they (hail all be moderately 

 eilimatedi
