From A/garth returning by Crakehill^ I 

 took the road once more to 'Richmond \ and 

 from thence to Darlington, in the county of 

 JDiirham. At that town is a confiderable 

 manufacture of i/^^ri^r<^^<:-^ cloths, in which, 

 the workmen earn from i o z^'. to 2 j^. 6 d, a 

 day, and women and children proportion- 

 ably. One mafter manufacturer employs 

 above 50 looms, and afferts, that he could 

 eafily fet many more at work, and employ 

 numerous women and children, if the idle 

 part of the poor of the town could be per- 

 fuaded to turn induftrious ; but numbers of 

 hands, capable of working, remain in total 

 indolence ; and that in general, there need 

 never be an unem.ployed perfon in Dar- 

 lington. They make their cloths up to 14 J", 

 a yard. 



To-morrow morning, I fet out for Raby 

 Cajile, ihall therefore, in the mean time, 

 conclude myfelf, 0?t-, ^c,
