which'the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Mac- 
clesfield, the Bithop of Durham, Sirs C. Wil- 
loughby, C. €. Dormer, and otuer tmagiftrates 
Were prefent, it was refoived, ‘* that if the. 
tenantry thould continue to reqitire fuch high 
prices as at prefent for their corn, it will be- 
come necefiary for the land-owners, in juftice 
to themielves, to change their mode of letting 
their lands, by fubftituting a corn-rent, that 
Will vary with tlie times, in the place of a 
fixed money payment.” 
it was further reiolved, *¢ that an a&t of 
parliament to enforce the fale of corn in bulk 
i open market, to direct the regiftering alk 
faics thefeof, and to prohibit, under heavy pe~ 
nalties, the re-fale of corn (except in fmallk 
quantities) within a certain diftance to be 
fixed by the legiflature, would, in their judg- 
ment, be highly expedient and beneficial.” ;

confidering on the meafures neceffary to be 
adopted on account of the prefent high price 
of corn, &c, it was unanimoufly refolved, that
