$2 I N C L O S tT R E S. 5. 



While the I'ickering bill is before me, 

 I will make a few further remarks. 



I. Five coyir,r;iJ}ione7's appointed: three of 

 them, only, being diredtcd to value the com- 

 mon lands, and to fct out the king's allot- 

 ments. Of thcfe three, one was nominated by 

 the chancellor of the dutchy of Lancafter ; 

 one by the Icflee of the tithes (who could 

 have no fpecic.l right of nomination, as no 

 part of the commons was ordered by the a<ft 

 to be fct ciu as tithes) j and the third by the 



proprietors 



the dutchy of Lancafter) had oneicnlh of the principal 

 jvat of the towiifliip, and onr-fif(crnth of the rcnrah.'ing 

 j»iiit, granted by the act of Inclofure. 



The woodbnds, in this cafe, had formerly been in- 

 clofcd and held by tie Crown in fcvcraky ; and the re- 

 mainder of the coinmons given up eiitiiely to the ap- 

 propiated lands of the townfliip ; fluvtting out even 

 the park and fame dcmefne land of the dutchy from a 

 r!:;ht of coirmona^'c ; fo that neither ivos^ nor r.vood- 

 i.iid is by the aCt given up : yet all the mcmcrial rights 

 a e refiTvcd ; exec, t the h'-norary right of foil, and 0:- 

 ccj t q a rie> of f one andfiatc : whijh laft arc fufficicnt- 

 ly ab;indi;nt in the wld appropriated lands to fupply the 

 tovvufhijj with building materials and lime manure for 

 ;H Icail a tho ifand years. Therefore, the conlideratioa 

 i;ii-cn up was of inconlKlcrable value — compared with 

 that which was given as ftjuivahnt ; but which ap- 

 pears to be, in this particu'.iir caff, unrcafunable aud ex- 

 ccllixc.
