In the breed of flieep, this gentleman has 

 been hkewife curious ; the common Cleveland 

 kind is the long leg'd 'Teejwater^ which 

 though of a great fize, are reckoned neither 

 of a good make, nor fo advantageous in 

 their wool as fome other forts. This induced 

 him to procure a very fine breed, partly ot 

 the LincolnJJjire kind : Short leg'd, broad 

 backed, and carrying fine fleeces ; from 140 

 of them he lad year cut y6 ilone of wool, 

 which he fold at 10 s, 6 d, a flone. His tups 

 gave 14 or 15//'. each. 



Fourthly, Mr. "Turner has made it a 

 maxim of condu61: to increafe the population 

 of his territory as much as pofTiblej and for 

 this purpofe he ads diametrically oppofite to 

 the vulgar ideas im.prefled by thofe efforts of 

 barbariim, the poor laws of this kingdom : 

 Inftead of quarrelling with other parilhes to 

 fee who iliould be troubled with the feweft 

 poor, he endeavours by all means to increafe 

 the number in his, by receiving all v/ho 

 come, that can and will work, and as fail 

 as the old cott^.ges fill he builds new ones. 

 It is his confiant prad:ice to employ all that 

 offer for work, and to keep them at it re- 

 gularly : But the idle llrolling part of the 

 poor that can Vv^ork, but will not, he has as 

 httle mercy on ; but is fure to punilh them 

 in fijch a manner as the law allows in his 

 ading capacity of a juftice of the peace.
