Titfie. — Remains subject. Glebe of two parlslics laid 

 together to one jianoiiage. Livings consolidated. 



Ohjcn. — The objcdl of the enclosure was chiefly to 

 lay tlie land together, and to extinguish rights of shackage, 

 &:c. The common did not contain above 30 acres, and 

 therefore was a very small object. 



Rent. — Lord Tctvvxshend advanced his farms 240I. 

 a year, on 1900 acres, for the expense of 1150!. his 

 share of the enclosure, besides the tenants doing tiic

 turnips except by agreement, nor cultivate their land to 

 the best advantage : they raise much more corn than be-
