Shesp.-^ About looo sheep were kept on the common 

 before; now not above halt"; they buy lambs and iatten 

 them, having changed their system to grazing : the sheep 

 before were much subject to rot, and were very ordinary j 

 now very good. 



Co'u;s. — As many as ever, or rather more, and have a 

 considerable return of fat beasts, as turnips are now laigely 

 cultivated. 



Horses. — Are increased a third, in consequence ot the 

 increase of tillage. 



Improvement. — The whole 1200 acres have been marled^, 

 and all the parts that were too wet, have been hollow- 

 drained. \\\ general produce, it may fairly be estimated 

 that the parish produces double what it did before. It 

 gave me very great satisfaction to view this parish, with 

 Mr. GoocH, of Quiddenham, who was a Commissioner 

 in the enclosure, and to whom 1 am obliged for these 

 particulars. The crops,' very generally, great, and the 

 whole face of the parish bore every appearance of a most 

 prosperous cultivation. 



Tithe. — Remains subject to tithe; they would not take 

 land. 



Rates. — The rental increased one-third ; and till the 

 last year, not more than 2S. in the pound. 



Expenses. — The whole about 2500I. 



Poor. — 40 acres allotted for fuel; not turf, hui Jidg; 

 and, therefore, the laiid let at 15s. an acre, and the money 

 applied to buying fuel. In tiie allotment for common- 

 rights, every poor man who had a 5I. or 61. a year tene- 

 ment, had equal to 10!. given him, in case lie was a poor 

 owner; but notybr the tenement, if belonging to a large pro- 

 prietor. Several poor owners, received for loi. occujjan- 

 cy, two acres. yMmost all kept them; and seveial kept 

 cows, others turned their attention to hemp, turnip seed, 



&c.
