*5 a AGRICULTURAL SURVEY 



JV O T E S. 



(a) Lord Rofeberry has the following remark r — <{ Where 



" duties are not to be paid, the Cuftom-houfe books are not a 



" rule to judge by, as every exporter enters, at random, any 



" quantity he plcafes, and always more than he is likely to 



"export, to prevent the trouble and expence of a fecond cn- 



" try, there being no necefhty or obligation for entering the 



" exa£l quantity they are to export. The debentures being 



" given on corn afterwards, on the real quantity {hipped ; 



u and it is from the regifter of the entries only, however, 



" that this calculation is made, or even the reports to parlia- 



" ment, which make them very fallacious, and this members 



" of parliament fliould advert to." How far this may affe£l my 



calculation, I cannot prefume to fay : I have given my ftate- 



ment, on the beft information I could obtain, and flatter my- 



felf, at leaft, that it is not far from the truth. 



(b) Mr. Alderman Partridge, in remarking, in an other 

 place, upon the trade of Norwich, " hopes the decline of the 

 si trade of Norwich is but temporary." I trufl fo too, and 

 that it will revive and become profperous again.
