Ayleshy, Riby, and Rothwell Farms. 
437 
men are paid equally well in proportion, a part of their emolument, 
however, being a good cottage, rent free, which may be valued 
at 2s. per week, according to the standard rent for such houses in 
the neighbourhood. At Aylcsby there are 10 of these cottages, 
which arc let with the farm. These are occupied by the Aylesby 
foremen (two), the head shepherd, head waggoner, groom, 
two yardmen, carpenter, and two labourers. Some of these cot- 
tages, and some at Riby, have been rebuilt by Mr. Torr, at his 
own expense, by a process which he modestly terms " moving 
them," and which involves not only a change but a considerable 
improvement in materials, accommodation, and site. Those at 
Aylesby have acquired a great reputation since the visit of 
Prince Napoleon in 1862, as his Imperial Highness was so struck 
with their many excellent points, that he took away with him 
plans and elevations, copies of which we reproduce on the fol- 
lowing pages. 
The following Statement of the Wages earned by the principal Men 
employed by Mr. Toer will be more intelligible than any verbal
