1803.} 
vigation from the town of Leicefter, to com- 
municate with the river Nen, in or near the 
town of Northampton, and aifo a certain col- 
lateral cut from the faid navigation ;”’ in 
which intended A& it is propofed to intro- 
duce powers for extending the faid canal from 
the bafon fituated in the-parifh of Gumley, 
in Leicefterfhire, into an inclofed ground in 
the parish of Great Bowden, belonging to E. 
Dawfon, efq. of Long Whatton, in the fame 
county, and through the faid inclofed ground, 
fo as to make a communication with the 
turnpike-road from Leicefter to Market Har- 
borough 3 which faid canal fo extended will | 
pafs through the feveral parifhes of Gumley, 
Foxton, and Great Bowden, all in this coun- 
ty ; alfo for powers to fupply the faid canal, 
called the Leiceterfhire and Northamptonfhire 
UnionCanal, with water from acertain brook 
called Glen, otherwife Wiftow Brook, and 
for making fuch channels, conveyances, and 
aqueducts as may he found requifite for that 
purpofe, which channels, &c. are intended 
to .pafs through the feveral parithes of Great ° 
Glen, Newton Harcourt, Wiftow, 
and Great Wigton, all ia this county. 
The Corporation of the borough of Leicef- 
ter have lately come to the unanimous deter- 
mination to apply to Parliament in the next 
feifion, for a bill to enclofe a large piece of 
ground adjoining the town, known by the 
name of the South Fields. To the publica 
large this propofed inclofure isa very defir- 
able circumftance, as the land will, no 
doubt, be made’to yield, by an improved cul- 
tivation, a much larger portion of produce. 
By the inhabitants of Leicefter this meafure 
will be felt as more fenfibly ufeful, inafmuch 
as the increafed produce will be enjoyed 
among ft themfelves, and thereby will extend 
and augment the conveniencies of the place. 
The above land, after the inclofure, is expe&- 
ed to feed five times the number of cows 
which are now kept upon it ; an alteration 
which muft have a natural tendency to lower 
the price of milk. To the freemen in parti- 
cular, the advantages, it is prefumed, will be 
ftill greater, as they will profit by a privi- 
lege exclufively their own, which hitherto 
has, indeed, been little more than nominal, 
The commons, in their prefent ftate, are 
ufed only by thofe who rent other land, as 
the right of pafturage exifts only during the 
winter months ; but when this common plot 
fhall be divided from the reft, it is intended 
to let it remain open during the whole year. 
When the inclofure fhall have taken place, 
it is propofed that the freemen fhall regulate 
the uie of their allotment asthey may think 
proper—they may appoint an overfeer to take 
care of their plot—divide it into three or four 
parts, that the pattare may be refrefhed, and 
regulate the {tint as they thall find it mof 
convenient to themfelves,
