WASTE LANDS IN DORSNTSHIRE..

An important return has just been made of commons
and common held lands in England and Wales; remaining
uneaelased, so far at can be ascertained from the docu-
ments in the clfice of the Incinsure and Tithe Commis-
-160110111. The proposticn of common returned as suitable
for ordinary cultivation last becu estimated in compliance
with the desire of the Secretary of stetts, 80 far as prac-
ticable from the character of the adjacent lands as shown
upon the tithe maps. Much, however, of it is probably of
Inferior quality or would be costly to bring into cultiva-
tion. The return has been compiled from the best sources,
but the extent of common land is probably under rather
than over estimated. This return will supersede that
issued Is 1843. The subjoined are the returns for Dorset-
shire :
