[No Award made for the Pigs in this Class.] 

 Lieut.-General Sir Edward Kerrison, Bart., M.P., of Oakley Park, 

 Eye, Suffolk, exhibited 12 bushels of White Wheat ; and 



Mr. Henry Seawell, of Little Bookham, Surrey, 12 bushels of White 

 Cheddum Wheat :— 



Mr. W^iLLiAM Spencer, ofAdderbury, near Woodstock, exhibited 12 

 bushels of Improved Burwell Red Wheat ; and 



Mr. William Fisher Hobbs, of Mark's Hall, near Coggeshall, Essex, 

 12 bushels of Syer's Red Wheat. 



These four specimens were selected by the Judges as the best White 

 and Red Wheats exhibited; they were all of the harvest of 1838, and 

 grown respectively by the parties themselves : in consequence, however, of 

 the extent to which the intermixture of the seed in the different sacks was 

 carried by the public in their examination of the samples, the object of the 

 Society in reference to the contemplated trial of their individual merits was 

 entirely defeated, and the Wheats were returned to their several owners 

 with a complimentary Premium of Twenty Pounds to each. Precau- 

 tionary measures will be taken in future to prevent a recurrence of this 

 circumstance.

 offered by Lord Western and accepted by Mr. Paull and Mr. Peters :
