ing of the system, as it affects the masses. 
I therefore give the outlay and profit of a few 
individuals, taken at random from a number 
of allotment holders in my own neighbour- 
hood, taking care to set down every item of 
outlay as well as profit, confident that the 
statement will bear the strictest investigation. 
As this group of allotments is considered to 
be under first-rate management, it may be 
desirable to annex the rules under which the 
benefits detailed here have been wrought out, 
so that the same conditions may be imposed 
in other quarters : — 
" An agreement made on the 10th day of 
October, 1845, between the Rev. P. Gordon, 
of the parish of Cranworth, on the one part, 
and A. B., of the same parish, on the other. 
" The Rev. P. G-. agrees to let, and the 
said A. B. to hire, for one year (and so on, 
from year to year, till legal notice is given to 
the contrary) a piece of land containing about 
half an acre, being part of an allotment be- 
longing to the said P. G., and for the rent, or 
sum of thirteen shillings, to be paid to the 
s.iid P. G. on the 1 1th day of October, annu- 
ally, free and clear of tithes. 
" That in the event of the rent not being 
paid within three months, that the said A. B. 
will give up the land at Christmas, together 
with the straw and manure thereto. 
" That the said A. B. hereby agrees to cul- 
tivate the said land in an husband-like manner 
with the spade, and not to plough the same. 
" That he will crop one moiety of the land 
with potatoes, to be dug eleven inches deep, 
and manured. 
" That he will crop the other moiety with 
wheat, beans, or oats ; and so on, potatoes 
and wheat, beans or oats, alternately. 
" That he will keep a pig at least eight 
months during the year, and shall and will 
consume all the straw, and lay and spread all 
the manure therefrom arising from the said 
land ; and will not keep any horse, cow, 
donkey, or other beast, upon it ; and should 
he give up the land, will leave all the straw 
to the incoming tenant. 
" That the fences shall be dipt annually, 
or otherwise neatly cut off; and the ditches to 
be cleared out annually in July. 
" That the said A. B. will annually cut all 
the fences, the other occupiers paying a pro- 
portion thereof, according to their occupations, 
without in any way interfering with them. 
" That the several occupiers shall, and will, 
keep in repair their respective gates, #cc, and 
shall clear out the division ditches themselves 
every July, or employ some person belonging 
to the parish to do it, as well as any other 
work that may be required to be done which 
they cannot do themselves. 
Witness our hands, P. G. 
A. B."
