Mr. Thomas Brown. 



The subject is complex and admits of many exceptions, but I have laid down one 

 general rule in calculating an opinion on the value of land, which is, the expence 

 of management (with some exceptions for localities) has increased a full third in 

 every respect, where the consumption of the produce forms no part of the item, 

 since 1790. 



BERKSHIRE.

Talking with Mr. Dingwood of Steventon, near Basingstoke in Hants, on this

 in Hants, a man of a very respectable character, a farmer, had lately assured him 

 that he could prove by his accounts, that 30 years ago he made more profit by his 

 farm, paying rent, than he should now were he to pay no rent at all; expences 

 being so much increased.

 are true, the average advance of all the articles specified, is full 30 percent.

 and consequently has had an influence in lowering most other grain. 



Mr. Charles Wedge. 



We cannot let this opportunity pass, without mentioning to your Lordship, how 

 much this country is injured by the very high tax on malt; we need not perhaps 

 mention its partiality, as it is plain the grazing and cyder counties contribute but 

 little towards it; and even the wheat, oat, and bean lands are not so materially
