ENCLOSING. I^I 



Cvws. — More ; and more catile of all sorts. 



Tithe. — Remains subject. 



Rates. — Of late about 2s. 6d. in the pound. 



Poor. — Fifty acres were allotted for cutting whins, and 

 they are restricted to cut in regular crops ; much more 

 than wanted ; so that others take tor various uses. A fair 

 equivalent was given to common-right houses. Very few 

 little proprietors, like those at Heacham, adjoining. 



Improvement. — Mr. Styleman, after grubbing the 

 whins, ploughed lOO acres of heath, quality at 4s. an acre, 

 and sowed cole, which killed many wethers by the mur- 

 rain, which arises sometimes from feeding cole. After this, 

 he summer-fallowed for wheat, which gave seven coombs 

 an acre, and sold for 930I.
