AGRIC ULT URA L TEIiAIiCLES.
To tke Editor.

I enclose • copy of proposals Coca Bill to &mood the law
relating to agricultural tettanctiv in England, prepared by
• committee appointed IT 41113 Ceutril (lovelier of Avi-
culture, whose number was originally nine, but they bare
had to labour nutter the disadvantage of having two of
their best members taken (ruin them by the Prime
!bluster in forming his Ministry (Sir M. Ikvich and Yr.
Clare S. Read). It will be observed that the draft of this
Bill avoids the ruck on which the late attempt at legislac
Lion foundered. Tlie committee have eudeavuured to
give tenants a legal right to what its justice is undoubtedly
theirs, without interfering with the rights of property or
landlords. I hope owners will see their interest haa not
been neglected, and will on these grounds support it, and,
although I rear tenants will think more care of theirs
should be taken, let me remind them this Bill has been
drawn to paxs into law in 14 ligabol where owner, are well
Fewest:et.' and their interexts carefully watched, whilst
tenants have only about four of their body, who do all
that eau be expect.' from such limited numbers. I feel
assured such a law as ix proposed would increase the pro-
duction of home linsltice (meat Alla grain), and keep the
land in a higher state of cultivation Ouse is now wise for
a tenant under too many existing circunistauces. The
nation would thus be enriched, land would be more
valuable? and labour increased for a man in the country
of his birth, where more conduits and liberty combined
are enjoyed than in any other on the face of the globe. I
cannot think our Premier's propeetition of a two years'
notice to quit would be a settlement of this question;
; from both owners and occupiers' point of view there are
many objections to it, and the public generally will see it
simply gives an occupier time ou a change of tenancy to
recoup himself by impoverishing the land during the lase
two years of his holding at the expense of production for
the next four. It is now about 1:5 j cars since I assisted
in drawing those rules which have (untied the basis of
many satisfactory agreements in this county. As it was
one of the first, to I believe it will he one of the last,
public questions with which my 4114111 C will he connected.
I have lived lung enough to learn the attempt to du public
duties is a mixture of pleasure and dissatisfaction.
