42 MANAGEMENT OF ESTATES. 4.

 In Norfolk, where economy is ftudied with 

 confiderable attention, the " Audit Frolick" 

 is always a gaudy day ; but here thoufands 

 are received over bread and cheefe, and tens 

 of thoufands without even a horn of fmall- 

 beer to quench the thirft. 



IX. Forms of leases. It has been ob- 

 ferved, that the leafe is a fpecies of tenancy 

 uncommon in this Diftrift : I know but of 

 one eftate on which it has been adopted ; an 

 oif ellate in the family of a Scotch noble- 

 man. This eftate is, I believe, principally 

 vnder leafes of fourteen years. 



The form is not altogether excellent ; but 

 in fome refpe^fts it is lingular ; and in others 

 judicious. It exhibits the outline of ma- 

 nagement of that particular eftate, and gives 

 fome idea of the rural economy of the Dif- 

 triifl". There are ciaufes in it which many 

 good tenants would object to j but there arc 

 others which are well adapted to the pre- 

 fervation of the eftate, without appearing to 

 be opprelTive or difgraceful to the tenant. 



Lcafcs are nnnunlly becoming more and 

 more neccfiary -, and it is my intention to 



adduce.
