GATES and DEAD FENCES. 



IT has already been mentioned as a prac- 

 tice of Norfolk, for landlords to furnifh their 

 tenants with gates ready-made. 



This, when an eftate is intended to be made 

 the moit of, and where the tenants, being un- 

 der leafe, have ho right to expedl other indul- 

 gences than the leafe gives them, is a goodf 

 praftice ; for when rough timber is allowed, 

 even though it be fet our, a deiigning tenant 

 will generally get the advantage, let the eflate 

 be ever h well looked after. 



It is reafonable, however, and *s, now, oh 

 fome eftates cuftomary, in this cafe, to charge 

 the tenant for fawing and making up; alfo for 

 hewing pofls; and for fawing out fuch parts 

 of gates as are wanted for repairs -, which, as 

 well as putting doun pofts and hanging new 

 gates, is generally done at the expence of the 

 tenant, who fomctimeSj but not always, finds 

 ^ate-ircns.
