their nature equally fertile as thofe of Norfolk, 

 which let currently for ten to twelve fliillings. 

 Nothing can account for this but the fuperi- 

 ority of the Norfolk hu{bandry ; and the 

 quick difpatch which prevails in every departs, 

 ment of the Norfolk fyftem of management. 



IV. Covenants. Covenants of leafes are, in 

 Norfolk, as in other Diftri.cls, various as leafes 

 themfelves : the particular circumftances of an 

 eftate, and the fpecial matter of agreement 

 between landlord and tenant, will ever produce 

 this variety, in a greater or lefs degree : ne- 

 verthelefs, every country has its natural cove- 

 nants, and its prevailing falhions, as to reftric- 

 tions and indulgences. 



Thefe fafhions, however, alter ; and an Im- 

 prpven^ent has recently taken place, upon fome 

 of the firft eftates in Norfolk, with rcfpedl to 

 the REPAIRS of buildings and fences ; the tenant 

 now covenanting to pay half the workmen's 

 wages. This has two valuable eifecls : — the 

 tenant thereby pays a ftrifter attention to the 

 workmen employed ; and becomes more care- 

 ful of thofe things which, heretofore, he had no 

 intereft in preferving.
