Norfolk is a populous county; not mor«5 

 through the Norwich manufadory, which 

 difFules itfelf over a principal part of it, than 

 from the circumllance of Norfolk being an 

 arable country. 



The 'places of fale are, 

 Smithfield ; 

 St. Ives * ; 

 The fairs ; and 

 The farmer's yard. 



Bullocks for the London market are chiellj 

 fent dired:ly to Smithfield : many, however, 

 go by the way of St. Ives ; and fome few 

 are bought up in the country by the Londoa 

 dealers. 



Thofe fent to London and St. Ives are put 

 under the care of drovers, and generally fold 

 by the falefmen of the rcfpedive markets. 

 Some farmers follow their bullocks to thcfc 

 markets ; and fometimes, but very feldom, 

 iland the market tRemfelves. 



The advantage of fending bullocks by the 

 way of St. Ives is, that if that market prove a 

 bad one, they are driven on to Stevenage ; and 

 M this does notfuit, are driven through to the
