320 Report oil the Exldhition of Implements 
exclusive right of using it, forty-four years ago, of a mon named 
Richard Glover, living near Ludlow, in Shropshire. It has been 
in use, with some improvements, at these works ever since, and 
fully exposed to public view. It is a screw-press, making 3 pipes 
at once of 3 inches' bore, 4 pipes of 2 inches' bore, and 6 pipes 
of 1 5 inch bore, of about 28 inches in length each. This date 
carries us farther back than Mr. Read's invention of pipes in 
Kent by hand ; but it is proper to observe that Mr. Watts's ma- 
chuie has been only employed to manufacture pipes for the con- 
veyance of water for domestic purposes, &c. ; and that Mr. Read 
still retains the presumptive right to be considered the earliest 
manufacturer and applier of pipes to land- drainage. 
Until the appearance of IMr. Scragg's machine, which is now 
making for the writer 1 1 pipes, of 1 inch bore, at a time, the 
meed of precedence in respect of number of articles produced at 
once, as well as of originality in the invention of pipe machinery, 
must be accorded to Richard Glover, the inventor of Mr. Watts's 
machine ; and the birth of this invention must have been, by 
many years, anterior to that of the little single pipe-machine used 
in Kent and other southern counties, the latter being consequent 
to the successful use of pipes by Mr. Read. 
Moveable Sheep Fold. — The prize offered by the Society for 
this article was awarded by the judges to Mr. Edward Hill, of 
Brierly Hill Iron-works, near Dudley ; but it was subsequently 
withdraM'n by an order of the Council at Shrewsbury, in conse- 
quence of Mr. Hill s refusal to sell the implement at the price 
declared by him in the Catalogue, he thereby infringing a rule of 
the Society. 
The fold, however, was of a construction which elicited much 
approbation, being moveable on wheels, furnished with cribs, 
and admitting of a lot of sheep to be covered whilst feeding, with 
a run out in an enclosed space at will. 
Miscellaneous : — 
Carts. — The only carts in the stands of the various exhibitors 
which were thought to possess superior and novel merit were two ; 
the one invented and manufactured by Mr. Clyburn, at Earl 
Ducies Works; the other by Mr. Crosskill of Beverley. 
The first is called a " Richmond Cart," which received a 
medal at Soulhanqiton, in consequence of its having an easy 
method of adjusting the load on descending hills, and its generally 
good and durable fittings. It was, on this occasion, so arranged 
as to receive a wrought-iron tank for liquid manure, made to fit. 
into the chest or body, the shipping and unshipping of which was 
perfectly manageable by one person. This combination ap-
