great caution awl consideration in bringing this Act into
operation, it certainly needs no apology from me for
endeavouring to give this subject ventilation ; and as you
have numerous Farmers Clubs in the county, I think it
would he a good subject for their discussion.
I will, Sir, with your leave, give my own somewhat
haatily formed opinion.
I believe the rating must be on the area at per acre, as I
cannot see any way clear to rating the game itself:: soil!
would divide the land into three different descriptions,
namely. Ist, woods, pLantatious, and other covers of any
description : 2nil, enclosed lanil used for agriculture and
other purposes ; 3rd, courteous, heaths, and other unen-
closed lands.
how, where the proprietor reserves, or rather takes the
snorting rights from the occupier to whom the law gives
it, and lets it to a third person, would put the rate OD
COLO Won, heath, and unenclosed lands at Inuit one penny
to threepence per acre ; on enclosed lands at from one
shilling to one and threepence per we ; soil for all woods,
plantations, out covers (the groat harbour for pine) I
would put at from one and sixpence to one and ninepence
per acre.
Where the proprietor reserves the sporting rights, and
exercises it himself, by his friends, or by his dependents
the keepers, I would put it on commons, heaths, and
other unenclosed lauds at from one'penny to twopence per
acre ; on endowsl lands, at from ninepenco hi one ;
and on woods, covers, and phntations, I would put at from
one shilling to one and threepence per acre.
Where the sporting rights are not reserved, but exercised
by the occupier. I think you will find those rights
already rated in the shape of tbe increased rental realised
on such occupations, aa there is not ground game kept to
such an extent as to damage or much injure the crepes
and there is not the annoyance of having those velveteen
jacketed gentlemen always strolling over your farm, nest-
ing, trapping, and trawling down your fences. Such
occupations always have commanded a higher letting
value, and, as the assessment is supposed to be at the
rock rent, or what such occupation would let for hire in
the market, it seems to me quite plain that the sporting
rights on such onctipations are already rated as a general
rule ; lint, of course, there are exceptions, which each
committee will have to take into consideration, as it
woidil he unfair to lay down one general rule for • whole
county.
