is not feed IiarJIy for a sheep, it may easily be supposed 

 ■what the 24 cows yickl. 



Such was the account 1 received in the neighbourhood ; 

 but the circumstances seeming extraordinary, I went to 

 the place itself for further information, and there I was 

 told a rather dilLicnt account : tliat the number of cows 

 ■was 17 ; that they had another small common besides that 

 alluded to; that Mr. Foley, the farmer of the parish, 

 sold them hay and straw for their cows : that he did not 

 disapprove their keeping cows, and that the poor were 

 better contented, and better oiF here, and at Brancaster, 

 than in any perish near them, Tl)is the second attempt; 

 I shall make a third, by seeing Mr. Foley himself.
