This renders the immediate fuperintcndcncy 

 bf a large eftate in Norfolk a bufy and unbroken 

 iccne of emplbymcnt. The iummcr-months 

 are not more actively employed in attending to 

 Repairs, than the winter-months are in th,e 

 management df Fe>ices. 



But thefe and other articles I lliall confidei' 

 feparately ; comprizing under the prefent head 

 fuch general matter, only, as necefTuily occurs 

 npoii every leafed cltate. 



I. Tenancy. Tenanls-ai-lvill hvc thinly feat- 

 tered. Leases, either for a iermy or from year- 

 io-year, are utiiverfal. Leaf es for life are rarely 

 heard of in this Diftri6l. 



II. Term. The term, fornieriy, was twenty- 

 one years ; but the advance bf produce which 

 took place fbme years ago, producing, as it 

 fever will do, an advance of rent, the tenant 

 who had then juft entered on a leafe of twcnty- 

 bne years became, for a fcries of years, under- 

 tented : the confsquence is, gentlemen, in ge- 

 neral, refufe to grant leafes of longer term than 

 fourteen ye^rs, and many curtailed them to 

 feven years j a term, in my opinion, much too 

 ihott.
