« Rules to be observed by all persons working on these Premises^ Master 
and Men. 
“ I. For every tool or implement of any description not returned to the 
usual place at night, or returned to a wrong place not appointed for it, or 
returned or hung up in a dirty or unfit state for work, the forfeit is 3d. 
“ II. For every heap of sweepings or rakings left at night uncleared, 
forfeit 3d. 
4< III. Every person making use of bad language to any person on 
these premises shall forfeit, for each and every such offence, 6d. 
“ IV. Every person found drunk on these premises shall forfeit one 
shilling ; and, if he be in regular employment on the premises, he shall 
be suspended from his employment one day for every hour he loses 
through drunkenness. ’ 
“ V. Every person who shall knowingly conceal or screen any per- 
son offending, shall be fined double the amount of the fine for the offence 
he so conceals, in addition to the fine of the offending party. 
“ VI. All forfeits to be paid to the gardener, on or before the Saturday 
night following. If any person working regularly on the premises fail to 
conform to the above rules and regulations, the gardener shall be at 
liberty to stop his fines from his wages. Further, should any foreman 
or journeyman fail to comply with the above rules and regulations (with 
a knowledge of them,) the gardener shall be at liberty to seize and sell 
his tools or part of them, to pay such fines, in one month from the time 
the offence was committed. 
“ VII. All fines to be expended in a supper, yearly, to all the parties 
who have been fined.” 
When these rules were first adopted, the fines were sufficient to afford 
an annual supper, with beer, etc. ; but of late the amount has been so 
small, that Mr. Harrison has found it necessary to add to it to supply beer, 
etc., for the supper ; a proof of the excellent working of the rules. Mr. 
Harrison remarks that these rules were established about eleven years 
ago, and that they have been most effective in preventing all slovenly 
practices ; an advantage which he considers as thus purchased at a very 
cheap rate.
