WAR 



WAR 



tSer; woulJ be very littfe advantage from the warren, for 

 wet is very deftruAive of thefe animals. 



All the due precautions mull be taken, that the warren be 

 fo contrived, that the rabbits may habituate themfelves to 

 it with eafe. Many would have it that warrens fhould be 

 enclofed with walls ; but this is a very expenfive method, 

 and fcems not necefTary nor advifeable ; for we find but 

 yery few that are fo, and thofe do not fucceed at all the 

 better for it. 



Mr. Chomel's opinion is, that it ought to be furrounded 

 with a ditch. This indeed is no fence to prevent the 

 rabbits from going out, unlefs there be water in it ; but 

 it marks the intended bounds of the warren, and the rabbits 

 generally confine themfelves within its circumference, though 

 HOt necefiarily compelled to do fo. The fpace proper for a 

 warren has no limits but the owner's pleafure ; but, in gene- 

 ral, the larger it is, the more profitable it alfo proves ; and 

 tlie rabbits, when once accuftomed to the place, will keep 

 within their bounds, though they are hemmed in neither 

 with walls nor ditches, nor any other fence whatever. 



Some have prefcribed the making of deep ditches, and 

 eonftantly keeping them fupplied with water in the fummer 

 as well as winter feafon, that they may ferve as fences to 

 the rabbits ; but as it is not found neceifary to fence them 

 in at all, it is extremely injudicious to do it, by means of a 

 thing known to be fo very prejudicial to thefe creatures as 

 water is. If the perfon who has fet up a warren has but 

 fiew rabbits to (lock it with, the more patience he muft have 

 as to the profit of it ; but the bed method of getting quickly 

 into the fcheme of profit in it, is the buying at firft a large 

 number of doe-rabbits all big with young. Thefe being 

 «nwieldy and heavy, will naturally ftay in the place, and the 

 young ones will be habituated to it, as their native place, 

 and will never run from it. Thefe young ones will foon 

 breed again, and the warren will begin quickly to be (locked 

 with inhabitants, almoft all natives of the place. They 

 fiiould not be hunted at all the two firft years, and but very 

 moderately the third. After this they will increafe fo fad, 

 that fcarce any body can conceive the numbers that may 

 be taken, and the profit that may be annually made without 

 hurting it. 



The warren is the next franchife in degree to the park, 

 and when fpoken of in taw, the terms ufed are, the liberty 

 and franchife of a free-warren. 



A forell, which is in dignity the highefi; and greateft 

 franchife, comprehends in it a chafe, a park, and a free- 

 warren ; for which reafon the beads of the park, and the 

 beads and fowls of the free-warren, are as much privileged 

 within the fored, as the beads of the foreft itfelf are. 



Warren is alfo applied to a contrivance for preferving 

 £ih in the midft of a river, to be taken at pleafure.

 river Merfey, about midway between Manchefter and Liver- 

 pool, at the diftance of 51 miles S. by E. from the county-

 thors have contended that a Roman ftation was edablilhed 

 here, as a guard to the ford ; but no particular difcoveries 

 have been made to judify this opinion. Leland defcribcs 

 Warrington as " a paved town of pretty bignefs, with a 

 chirche at the taile end of al the tounne : it is a better mar- 

 ket than Manchedre." The town of Warrington conlids 

 of four principal dreets, which are long, narrow, ill built, 

 crowded with carts and paffenger?, and unpleafant to the 



inhabitants ;
