Ihd the farmers state to you a general feeling of dtalrese; that they paid net of their capital, mud not out of the profits of their farms?—They did, certeisly there M a Errol Com plaint of the increase of pour% rates, which me very heavy upon them. Have any of 'holm farmer, given You nay raga"' why they were so much distressed, besides the deficiency of the crops? —On account of the lowne.s of the seer kr Is. for what they took to market produced a very small auto; and the increase or poor's rates is very great. Were they the first complaints you heard from farmer, at your last audit, or had they been in the practice of making sibtilar repi .H1'18'64)1)8 for some time pest?—About four years ago they complained, whrus peace tame. About the year 1916?—Yes; sod then 1 abated some rents in consequence thereof. flare yon reason to heliete that the story which you heard of their paying out of these capita, wa- trite ?—Yes, 1 hove. You stat.d that in 1816 you made some abatement upou the rents?—Yes. To what extent !—About fifteen per cent. ass temporary abatement ; it happened that one estate in Berkshire I have the management of, I had to make a new arrangement of in ronsespience of an enclosure, and coed uo: get the value I thought it was arose+ by Priem" per cent.; therefore I agreed f four years that they should have it at fifteen per cent. below my valuation, and the rent to Ire regnlated afterwards by the market pike fur the tall year attic fuer, and if wheat at Newbury market should average for the year up tu Mi chaele:as IMO, nine shilling• • bushel. they were to pay the advance of fifteen per cent. fur the remainder of the term of twelve years. lu point of fact, you had valued that land on the steppe. a:tion of Ps. a bitsbel ?—Yes; the farmer, were wilting to give my valuation if the price of wheat wu 93. a bushel. I. that the price acorn at which yon have aesterally va lued aritWe lead of late years?—Yea, it is; we used to go to 10s or 12s. when wheat was very high. IPhe•n you valued lib( at at 9s. at what did yon value her by ?—Ga•ueralty at half the pike of the wheat. Da you intend to recommend the gentleman' for whom yon receive rents to make any further abatement of rent ?. provided the limos do not improve there mast be an abate. noon ; the farmers minim go no without. Du you . see any .prospect of their being better able to pay us :it Michaelmas ?...-No; we look for ■ worse rent day, be cause many of the tenants have strained their utmost to pay hut Alirlas. Imes rent; they have sold a great steal of corn, mid with many of them the ewe will be exhausted. In point of fact, is the inshore you mouth:fled of a farm you va'ticd ■tul made a deduction of amen per eclat. from the rent agreed on by your viduation, the ugly instauce within your reeripi l—No; an abatement on a large estate . in Lincolnshire was made before the change of tinsel, but *Welt had bee, let by auction previous to its Whig put under our manager's( sit, and we have not made any further abatement since tl•eu. Hare the truants centrally applied fur au abatement'— They have not been very strenuous upon it innately; but they now stair, that in Chit the flatus de Hut change, they mutt have an abatement. Mal abatement, du you think, would meet t►eir difficul ties now !—I trolly do not know what to slate, on account of the lownem of the markets; uo abatement car moven site fur this. Suppose wheat at Ss. a bushel, and an average crop; what abatement would cutnpensate the tenant to whom you Ism let at 9s ?-1 should think 10 per cent. would be sufficient, provided labour sod poor•ratea fall in proportion. Are you of opinion, that sir abatement of 10 per cent. is sufficient to 'white the present tenantry to remain, except whore they are under esipgemeut by lease'—!f the rent thr y paid previously, was nut au excessive rent, I should think at would; but that will all depend upon the manner in which the estate was let previously, whether high rented or not. that is your general system of letting; du you recommend to your principals to grant lenses?—y, ; 1 have always found it has been an advantage to the maragement of ilis estate to let leases; if it i► a light land farm, for twelve years; if it is f.esvy land, then longer, particularly if it is in a had stale when the party takes it. A great deal depends upon the crops of the country?— Just so. Theo are the Committee to understood, that, is your re ceipt of 40,000/. a par, if the average price of *beat, upon • moderate crop, as Ss. you would think you did justice between landlord and tenant, if you recommended au abate ment of 10 per cent.?-1 should think so, provided there was nothing extraordinary at lending any particular estate, or high poor% rates. I certainly think, if they could look forward to on ave►age of Bs. fur wheat, 10 per cent. would be a suf ficient abatement. If the exprasee sect oulgtiinp of the farmer were to re main the lame, with an abatement of one shilling per bushel is the price of wheat, would 10 per cent. then be a sufficient deduction ?—Certainly nut; because, 1 presume, that when the corn is lower, the labour will become loner, mid the woes tales lower. Then )1111 think the abatement of 10 per cent. sufficient, having reference to the diminished **prose which the farmer would be liable to in raising his crop !—Just so. If you valued farms uuw out of lease, or to let, what would be your calculation, in point of fact?—We ate quite at a loss, we du not know what to Ax upon. If the price of sheet was scree shilling., what would be your deduction then ?—lteally 1 du nut know how to sure., this question immediately, because in the present stale of things the espies(' bears so large a proportion to the gross produce, that unless some change takes place it is almost impossible to form any data to go by. • Are you of opinion that the fall in the price of corn has fell more rapid thus the disniention of the expense of the f...rmer in raising it i—Certatuly; I ma clearly of opinion.• that it has been greater. Supposing the price to eostintte at its pretest depressed • I state, do pia apprthesid that the expenses would consider ably diminish from what they Dow ate!-1 sot bkrdly able to form an opinion ; I streald say, they ought to be reduced; but it is a difficult thing when youltave got thelaboarers to high wages to get them down again; for they will go to the rates fur rehef, wad only work nu a bargain. Have you *urged your nailed to what yrNs .ball &I'm, the neat audit day, supposing the imposts to press on their *landlords, Armagh you, their difficulties and distresses? tan take no other course than recommeoding an abate ment. What abatement do sot know at present to what tweet. Do you think, if wheat was at the price which you now imagine, eight shillings a bovhel, that the lemmata of the land of which you now speak, Nomad fum n pi.th the same spills that they Lave been used to do?—Nu, 4 should not . imagine they eruabl, because tire iutlucruicat Wei very great till within these last four or five years, having got large prices. They wrothd not lay out ao MIMI in labour?-No, it has beew au observation with the large fanned, that the smaller farmers are afraid of employing labourers at the present time, anal that those jammers come upon the parish. Thru, in that care, the poor's rates mast be materially in. creative—They certainly are. . flu not the pour rates depend more on that, than they tin on the Nevem.. or decrease in the price of corn ?—No ; I think it is the decrease of the price of corn that operates upon the mind of a. farmer, and preveuts Into from employ ing the poor. Then, as a farmer iv lees able to employ the poor, the poor have less money to bay their bread with, aad the poor's rates are iocreased by that, more than they ate ditui- Minted by the low price of corul—CerlainlYr " Do not you think, that the reason that the entailer farm ers are afraid of employing the !abetment, arises from the "uncertainty of the price of corn and agricultural pro duce in general, awl that that would be very much diminiah eJ,ifthe price of produce was steady?—Yes, I have uo doubt of it ; the fear is, that they shall not be retutnierited for the som they expend in labour; and they, unf or tunat e ly, do not see that th) pay as much by throwiag it on the poor's rates, without deriving any beueet from the labour. If the firma in 'whirls you hive bee. principully engaged were at this time vacant, you would have no difficulty in letting them ?—That would depend entirely upon the na ture of the laud; if heavy !mid farms, I should had great difficulty, air very poor light land fume. IVould it not also derail upon the mode in which it bad been cultivated ?A great rleadwould depend int the state of the farm the tenant was to ,take to, and the natant of the soil. . Do you not think that many men would be induced to en ter upon a nuns speculating upon reaping a share of the ca pital which his predecessor list invested ) —No ; I should Not imagine that any person would take it upon that prin. eiple, br..cauie it could not last above two or thtee,yeara be. fore it was worn out, and the tenant who was going out would take care to leave very little behind fur another per sun to !tench' by, if be was certain of going out. Au allowance. is always made for that by the custom of the country ?—A farmer is restricted by the custom of the cavalry; but he has the means of taking away a great por tion of that which he puts un the. ground. But a man. on leering a farm, must Calculate upon the price he would obtain for his farm when he sells off .—He cannot, ou taking a farm, form as opinion what will be the price at the time of bin quitting, or of the amount of his stock. A farmer remains in the firm till he is driven to deepen. lion, rather than leave it ?—There are many w h o b are in seated a large capital informs, that, c'e anxious to amain in, with a hope that the times will improve. Taking into your consideration all the circumstances which govern your calculations, in re-letting a farm, poor's rates and all other charges, to which a tenant is liable, are /Ow of opinion lbat upon thyme which your have let at fair rents, being semi a calculation of eine shilliusgs a twah r l of wheat, that an abatement of ten per cent. would he a sufficient allowance to the tenant, if the price fell to eight shillings a bushel, as a steady price ?—Pruvided the labour and poor 's rate fell in the same proportion. YLis stated that you should and . a difficulty in letting farms, in heavy hind. and pour light lands; fr..tn want cr ctinistauces are Mose farina • lees likely to be in requisition than farms of a (lament descript ion ?—kleettuse the produce is so uncertain; u it depends upon the season so much, sod the expense is very great in cultivating heavy land.. Ale those • description of !aids which have been brought very numb into cultivation of late years, daring the high priced—No doubt, a great portion of the heavy lends and light lands have been brought into cultivation is conse quence of the late high prices, which otherwise would Lave remained in their origioal state of pasturage. Has there not hew a considerable out-lay of capital on thus laadsl—Very great. le there nut, if they should go out of cultivation, a very heavy loss to be ustriued, either by the laiidlord or the teliant, according u the capital has heels advanced, by one or the oilier ?—Certainly, there must be • very greet loss, particularly upon the heavy laud; the heavy land would re. quite a large capital to britag it into cultivation, and con tinue it so • the light land is out soexpeuive to cultivate. Would not the capital already laid Mil Ull the heavy laud. improve it when it came into a slate of pasturage again?— If it has been improved by drainage, it will be better for the pasturage, undoubtedly; but cold clay lauds are not rouge. nial to pasture; they area lung tine before t!iey get dour again to pasture. Have you been in the habit of letting farms by tender?— No; nor by auction. n titre they have been let by tender or anti ion, rents have been given very far ()weeding the rent calculated upon the data you have stated?—Certainly. Upon a cold clay suil, how long is it Wore land baronies good grass hand again '-1 should think it impossible on a cold clay soil, to ler t a clod grass order nine or ten years. Where lauds have been let by tender, particularly if they are of that de,criptiou you have mentioned, namely, heavy Mods or poor light lunds, what do you conceive intuit be the abatement of rent in such cases ?-a I am quite puzzled to say what it should he, because heavy hod• have had a con siderable rise, in tome• instauces, to thirty shillings an acre; and that was merely owing to the extraordinary high price of the markets; those same lauds probably uow would nut let fur more than severe or eight shillings. 1)0 you think that tell shillings a bushel would maintain those lands in cultivation at the present rents!--1 think ten shillings a bushel would continue the heavy lands in cultiva tion at a fair rent, if the farmer could l o ok forward to that average with a reduction in the price of labour and poor's A:id the greater part of the light land 3104.0—There is not an great /111 repent.% on the light lands. therefore them is no doubt they would be continued in cultivation. The light land is capable of twill brought into a state of cultivation ?—Yes; wbeu 1 speck of lucid land, I Mean the inftriur light laud; but which by the turnip oysters is able to keep a flock on it. Is there not a great portion of land that may be considered light land, and yet not be called poor laud '—Yea; I du nut allude to light loamy laud, hut pour sandy laud. And black gravelly land?—Yes. Is the Committee to understand, that, exce4pl lauds of a very interior description, to which you have alluded, in case of any of tha estates which you manage being out of lease, you would prubahly redrt them without damnlty to sub stantial tenants ?—I ILiuk I could. Do you think that you could 41 them, if the Metals who wine to take them, in general p.id at the present prices, and the present prices of produce were to cuntinue ?-1 du not know, if the present prices were likely to continue, and they could not see soy Lope of a chauge, the farmer would be alarmed, and would uot think of spending the little capital he has remaining. Would not the throwing out of cultivation the heavy and the light lands, throw an additional burdris ow the other lauds iu cuitiiation, by the pool's rate ) -11 should wink so, becamse the employment (or labourers would be considerably reduced. Has the price of labour entl the general expeases of farm• Mg, fallen with the prier of produce, and vista nit!' the rise of produce?—Not io proportion ; they are more apt to rise than to fall in proportion. HOW soon after a rise and fall in the price of produce, do you generally observe au slterstioo in the price of labour ? The itieleasrd piico of labour will follow the high prices of corn rapidly, because a poor man feria the dune immodi• ately; but, en the 'eoetrary, when tbp price of con sinks, it is a considerable time before the price of laborer COO be reduced to its proper proportko. Will net a competition amen, the !ohmmeter sink the price of labour in proportion to the WI M the priim Of prodosie—Unfortuttately, there is sot generally a competi tion with them. No competition among labourers?—Nu, hardly any; for -the idea they wave entertain iy that they must be supported by the parish, whether they labour or not. Are they as well supported when they de not labour as when they du?—That will depend a great deal upon the Magistrates of the country, whether they are in the habit of allowing them too large a snm or not; if they insist on the farmer, in the neighbourhood making up a certain weekly rum to a labourer, according to his family, then 1 think that the spirit of Industry is broken in upon in • great degree. The Committee wish to know from yip", what is the actual practice in respect to the allowances made to laborrers unt of work; du they receive as much u when they labour?--I should think, in many instances, they do; but I out nut able to'snswec this question clearly, because 1 am nut mi conversant with the allowances that are ordered by the M oeistro tea. lines it not tkpend upon whether there is • considerable deniaud fur labour or nut, whether they are better utr on in tutor than on the tioor's ratev i—lf there was • scarcity of labourers, there nimbi he ■n increase of price; but that dees not happen to my knowledge; quite the reverse, Do you *sok the poor's rates ewer increase without its being preceded by a fall in the price of labour?—Yes; the increase: of poor's rates will proceed from eau-wive high prices, temporarily. Eliceisive high prices of what'—Of corn. At what price du you think wheat enu he raised is thi s country, on the very best land, so as to afford a profit to the farmer, if be hail uu rent whatever to pay ?—lt requires n calculation I hair not gone into, to smwer this quesitou. Can you state generally to the Committee, what has been the rise of the rents spun the lands you manage within these thirty years?—That depends nl the manner in which the estates were let previously; there is no rale which you can take as a general rule ; w souse instances they have bern doubled, or more than that ; trtle-es not more than ten per cent., or twenty but all depends epos Situ manse! the estate was perilously let, and the iinprovestent that has byes Da d e upon it. llid you ever form auy opinion its to the number of per sons who are sub-istrd by %heir labour on arable laud, es compared will.

Within your experience hate there been great improve menu made iii husbandry ?—Certainly. out the rife eta of those improvements been to sDord a greater quantity of produce fur the same amount of capital ? . —The increase of produce has depeuded upon the expeaditure of capital. Would you call any thing an improvement which was not followed by the etiect of giving a greater quantity or produce, with the expsiiiiiittit. of tile same capita/ ?-1 Lore tasted, that according to the expenditure, Ilie quantity has been increased. If the produce has been increased merely in proportion to the increased expenditure that is nut an improvement at all ; it would be, if he obtained a greater quantity opinion is, that according to the expenditure the produce is iu creastd ; that is, a judiciuus expenditure. Supposing a man to contione only with the same amount of capital upon his farm, and by his own ingenuity, or by copying better methods of his neighbours, is he able, a! the same expense, to raise a Knitter crop ?—There is no doubt a very great difYerence beiween farmers; pale farmer will raise a much larger crop of corn at the same expense than another farmer; much depends upon judgment in farming. From your exrerience, have there been considerable int prove:moult; ban the produce been increased fur the tit prit. dilute of the same capital • has good farming increased , — Yes Yes; them is no duuht that good farming has increased tLr produce. How many years have yon been a land surveyor !---On my own account, I have been about tiventylour years, and was eleven years as assistant 10 the late 11r. W. Black. of Epping, a man very eminent; 1 have been five-mod-thirty years in the business altogether. Within that period, whip, upon an average, on the hinds you have managed, has been the increase in the rent ?-1 do out know that lever took the pains to collect it; it varies accurdiug to the original letting of the laud. What du you suppose the rents spun the 40,000/. a year, ycu now collect, have increased should think there has been a rise of about fifty per cent. on an average. Have many of them comiuued under the 1.11J11! tenantry! V, ry few changes, except by death. You say that, at your last audit day, and in your inter course with the tenantry lately, they bave stated their dis tresses and difficulties; slid they point out to you Any re medy, or any method by which those distresses could be re lieved, in their judgment ?—The opinion that the farmers. generally serum to eitiertaiti nits. that if there was au im portation ditty on foreign corn, it would relieve them ; that they would be able then to send their produce to market un equal terms. Du you suppose that this impression whirl* you And sawn Ibe tenantry has arisen very much from the circulation of the °Mown/ of a Committee that is silting at Ilenderson's hotel do not kuuw ; but I should think the farmers, generally, entertain much the sense opinion as that Commit tee, from what 1 can learn from them. Their opinion ie, thew, that a large import ditty tipoo fo. reigu cora woald relieve them ?—.Yea; they lout Lt it in two points of view; they say, that the duty would relieve them in their taxation, as well as enable them to meet the foeeign Cure at marvel eu equal terms. lf the ditty operated in the trey Tow' wealtio itt P 1119; ~, taxation, yw mean, tbai Ilicre must be a revenue of conn :e arising from that duty'—Yes. • Of course there must be an import l—Yes.

Ate you of opinion, that tint remedy which the farmers ba o k t o , wo u ld relieve them am nut tu fui,n an opi stion upon it 1 the two material triings nec , ..sstry to timro are, that thu marketishould be better, and the poor'r rates less.
