ENCLOSING. l6l 



SHOULDHAM AND GARBOISE. — ENCLOSED 1794* 



^antity. — Whole year lands • 82O acres. 



Common fields, commons, and waste - 475^ 



5570 



Tithe. — Impropriations : lemain subje6t. 



Poor. — Two allotments at Shouldham, ot 82, and 13 

 acres, for fuel : what they have is good, but not in the 

 former plenty ; this, however, is not their great com- 

 plaint, but the deprivation of keeping live stock: they 

 used to have cows, mares, geese, ducks, &c. ; but now no- 

 tliing; and their language is (I talked with several) that 

 they arc ruined. About 40 poor people kept cows at 

 Siiouldham ; not all with what was esteemed a right ; 

 but if the commons were drove, the fine was small: 

 those cottages that had rights and allotments, are now let 

 merely as houses, and the allotments laid to the fanr.s. 

 The account a farmer gave njc was, that many poor kept 

 cows before ; now, not more than one or two. It is suf- 

 ficiently evident, therefore, that this enclosure classes with 

 those which have been, In tJih rcspe^I, injurious to the 

 poor. At Garboisethorpe, the poor before the enclosure 

 kept about 20 cows ; now none.
