zzS Mr. King’s Account ^ &c c 
There is farther -proof' that Mr. Sackette did not examine 
into the matter himfelf, but refted what he faid upon the report 
of others; and this is, that Tarlingham-houfe is not feen 
over the top of the hill in the line of fight EG, but confi- 
derably to the left of it, in the line El* and clear even of the 
ba& of the hill. Befides, a moment’s reflection would have 
told him, that the finking of the hills could not produce the 
effeCts he mentions ; for if the ground in. the plain was pufhed 1 
forward by it, it could not be a partial flipping ; not only the 
church, and the whole town, muft have been removed, but 
every objeCt between the bafe of the hills and the cliff muft 
have been removed out of their place.; but. I may venture to 
affirm, there is no proof of this having been done. I fhould 
have been drawn fin to the fame or fimilar errors myfelf, if I had : 
refted fatisfied with the firff accounts I received from an ancient 
fifherman. He told me the fame flory of the hills finking in 
his time, and TarlinghaniThoufe appearing higher than it did 
‘fince he could remember. In one part of his relation he was . 
tight; for I found, upon inquiry, that Tarlingham-houfe has 
been taken down, aud built upon a much, larger fcale than for- 
merly, fince it has been in the hands of the prefent proprietor. 
If what I have faid fhould not prove fatisfadory, I fhall be 
happy in giving you any farther information upon this fubjed 
in my power ; and am,. Sir, &c.
