AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS.

HEAVY SOILS OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

TO Till EDITOR OT THE DAILY Isswa.
Sift,—Passing through the highly-cultivated farm
of Mr.Parkinsan, towards the south, the agricultural
traveller will he forcibly struck with the contrast
which the majority of the farms he passes presents to
that I described in my last letter. Along an elevated
tract of cold land—poor, certainly, in many places,
but eapableas tothe greater part ca high cultivation—
the wayfarer sees nothing but ill-managed arable
lands and inferior pastures,all obviouslywanting that
preliminary to the improvement of strong soils, effee-
five drainage. The farms are small, and the home-
steads nut even suftivient for these small farms ;
some part of each farm consists of permanent pas-
Iture, and the amble land is much overeropped with
grain. Stock is very scanty, and the little kept is
not maintained in good conaition. That land, thus
managed, can maintain its tenant year after year
would seem to be little less than a miracle had we
not the standing fact, that for more than half a cen-
tury its management has scarcely varied. How
they will get on with natural prices I know
not, unless !they set to work and improve,
for which some have not the means, and more want
the requisite energy and skill. Yet, rightly managed,
heavy soils are not unsuited to small farmers; the
•
great difficulty is to get them first put into good work-
ing order. In the neighbourhood of Southwell hops
are still cultivated to some extent, though there, as
I found it elsewhere, hop-growing is not conducive
to good Miming. The hops grown here have a
strong flavour, and go further in use than the Kent
hops, but rendering the beverage not so palatable.
In 1791, Mr. Martin Bower estimated the whole of
the hop plantations in the country at 1,100 acres, and
the extent is probably at this time still less. So
little does hop-growing enter into the agricultural
system of the county, that in the prize report of the
Royal Agricultural Societe on the farming of this
county no mention is made of hop-growing. Hops,
however, are still grown to a considerable extent.
InMr. Bower's time (1791) the cost of hop plantation
was 13/. Ilk per acre yearly, and, comparing the
produce with the Kentish hop gardens, that writer
says :—" The crops in this county in the past years
are very small compared with the Kentish planta-
tions, and do not in the very best of years average
eight hundredweight per acre, owing, I apprehend,
more to the number of small planters, who have
neither knowledge nor purse necessary to this intri-
cate and expensive culture, than the badness of the
land." I believe climate has more to do with grow-
ing hops successfully than even the quality of the
soil; and, in climate, Nottinghamshire cannot com-
pete with Kent. The effect I noticed as very com-
monly the result of hop-growing, both here and in
Kent and Sussex, viz., the neglect of more safe and
certain crops to bring all the force of manure to the
speculative hop-garden, was noticed by Mr. Calvert,
of Ilarlton, from whose account of Notts husbandry
in 1794 I before quoted. He says :—" Hop-ground
tends to injure the lands in the vicinity thereof, as
the whole attention of some growers is to accumu-
late all the manure possible to be collected for the
hop-card, and totally neglect everything else; this
I judge to be a principal bar against improvement,
however the favourers of' hop-planting may deny it :
for the hop is known to require much and constant
support, without repaying anything to the dunghill;
and without considerable assistance there can be no
expectation of a crop, lucrative if obtained, and
ruinous it' otherwise, to small farmers. The tenant
exerts his utmost abilities to contribute all he can to
that vegetable lottery, which, it' the expression may
be permitted, may turn out a sorry blank, or a prize
of greater magnitude than all the profits of the other
part of his farm, even in its greatest state of im-
provement." Such "vegetable lotteries," though
seldom profitable in the long run, are not without
favour amongst farmers, for. like other traders, they
are easily attracted by ally branch of business which
occasionally produces large money returns.
On reaching Beesthone, on the road to Newark, I
found the land improve in quality, until on the Trent
it becomes very good indeed. Ifere I observed sonic
very good herds of cattle, several breeders of short-
horns fanning in this district, and the appearance of
the stock generally was good. In the district south
id the Treed the soil vanes much from stiff clay to
sandy loam. On the rising ground which lies be-
tween Nottingham and Newark, the soil is a red
sandy loam, lying upon marl, which is highly pro-
ductive, and is tier the most part under a good
system of cultivation. It is a district of sheep
husbandry, and the flocks kept upon it are
amongst the best in the county. Mr. Bur-
, gess, of Holme Pierepoint, known us a successful
breeder of Leicester sheep to the frequenters of
our large stock shows, fitnned in this district.
Many of these farms have meadows and grazing
land running down to the Treat, which enables
them to combine dairy and grazing husbandry with
sheep-farming to the benefit of both branches. Not-
tingham and Newark form two of the best stock
markets in the midland counties, and to both the
fanners of this district have ready access. The course
pursued is a six-shift, such as I have mentioned to

land is in good heart. it is considered to produce good
crops at much less expense than on the light sands
of the western part of the county. Here, however,
' much of it requires drainage, and that improvement
has been extensively resorted to.
The farmhouses and buildings are usually good,
and are all kept in remarkably good order, and the
whole aspect of the district indicates ease and COM-
petence among the oeuupicis. It is no slight advan-
tage to tile district to have such an ever-consuming
market as Nottingham close at hand. During the
last fifty years this district has undergone great lm-
prevenient by draining and enlargement of the
fields, as well as other permanent improvements ;
but there is yet room for still greater amendment,
particularly in draining, which is not usually done
deep enough. Potatoes for Nottingham market form
here an important item of farm produce, and large
crops are grown.
At Ruddington, in this district. is the farm of Mr.
Paget, which attracted the attention of more than
one agricultural writer. On 300 acres of land. of
which about two-thirds are arable, 30 milking cows
arc kept, their produce as milk and butter being
sent for sale to Nottingham. The arable land is
cropped in alternate years with corn and green or
I root crops, all the green crops being heavily
mutated ; fur instance, the following rotation
has for some years been pursued ; (1) turnips,
(2) wheat and. barley, (3) clover, white and
red, and Italian rve-grass, (4) wheat, (3) man-
gold wurtzel. (6) whiut. (7) beans, (8) wheat. Good
crops of wheat, teaching 46 bushels to the acre, are
obtained after swedes and mangold wurtzel, contrary
to the received opinion amongst many strong land
farmers. The produce of wheat has progressively
increased for several years; one field, for instance,
having borne eight wheat crops in fifteen years.
each crop being above forty-four bushels per acre.
Of course these results can only be produced by very
high farming. to provide the manure for which,
te-
sides the cow stock, fifty beasts and 130 sheep are
fattened every year. Slid all the cows have 4 lb. of
°Henke per head throughout the winter months.
Many farmers will ask. Does this pay ?" And,
ELK regards the particular farm I refer to, I am not
able to answer the question. But my own belief is
that such farming—requiring. no doubt, great skill
and watchfulness—will he found the most profitable
farming, and that the notion widely prevalent. that
moderate quantities of manure, with very good and
deep tillage, producing. it is admitted, smaller crops,
will be found to per best, is a mischievous enor.
Assuredly the quantity of stock kept must bear a
proportion to the means afforded by the farm. and of
course it may lie carried beyond the point of pru-
dence: but with the means now at our command—
namely, low-priced grain, pulse, and oilcake. and
well-bred stock attaining early maturity—the fanner
who does not use a considerable quantity of artificial
,flood for his stock. hut depends entirely, or nearly so,
ea the produce of his farm for feeding them, throws
away one of his chances.

CLERICAL MAGIsTRATES AND TIIE GAME LAWS.
—At the petty sessions at Grantham, last Saturday, a man
named Clear wa. placed at the bar, having been ca'aght

was prepared to suffer the punishment the magistrates
might award. The clerk asked him if he hail anything
further to say for I • - •'t ;to which he replied, " l ;MI a

number of the bench told hint he was breaking the law.
Clear replied, "I know it is contrary to the laws of man,
but nut to the laws of God." Mr. 'limier (a magis-

BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN AYR.
stinte.--On the night of Thursday last a daring outrage
war perpetratediin the I ily Etna house of Crligthitil, near
New Cumnoek. This it a pastoral farm in the north-casters
extremity of the parish of New Cumniwk, and furors a
part of the margin of that extensive tract of moor-
land that AMOR.. towards Muirkirk and Douglas. The
situation of the house is lonely and remote, being a mile
distant from the nearest human habitation. It it tenanted
by Mr. Robert M`linight, about sixty years of age. On
the night in question, the household consisted of Mr. and
Mrs. Niginight, their infant child, Mr. night, jun.,
a son by a former marriage, and twu female tenants.
They had just retired to rtit when a knock was lie-nrd at
the door; and a Pero/11 Mph d admittance to light his
pipe. This being refused, the door was furiously dashed in,
and fire men, tamed with pistols and bludgeons, entered ;
and immediately wind a Dowling-piece, suspendisl on
a joist in the kitchen. Mr. M. hail rprwig from his hunt on
hearing the noise, and had seized the gun nettle at thu
mute time with the robber. The twitting it to pi. ais was
but the work of a nonacid, and the burglar will have
been speedily overcome, but his nstociates aimed a pro-
fusion of blows ut their victim's head and body, and ho
was instantaneously overpowered and thin wit in tho
most shucking manner. Mrs. M.linight made au effort
to escape from the house, which the burglars inter-
posed to prevent. At this juncture Mr. Nl'linight, jun.,
who had been aroused from his slumbers by the uproar
and terrific screams of the females, came along thu pan-
sage leading to the kitchen Ile was met in the entrance

try one of the robbers, who presented and snapped a pistol
at hint, but the cap fortunately missed lire. He is a strong
young man, and the robber was in a moment thrown on
the floor; but, like his father, he was quickly overpowered,
and hi, head dreadfully wounded. Ile would undoubtedly
have perished on the spot had Mrs. M' Knight not made good
her effort to escape, and led the burglars off in pursuit of
her—their fears of her alarming the neighlrourhood, and
prevc ming their escape, ',char uo doubt excited. The
darkness of the night protected her from their search, and
she succeeded in reaching the neighbouring faroteloouso
of lathans; but so devious had been her path, that
two hours were occupied, though the houses are not
more than a mile apart. Meanwhile, her husband lay
senseless on his kitchen floor. His son succoe.olood in
secreting himself under u matters., where lie heard tho
robbers, after their return front the pursuit of Mm. M.,
searching for hint with horrid inipmeatiens, indicating •
their dmino for brutal vengeance. One of the 4irls also
escaped, but the other was compelled to keep her bed by
threats that her brains would be blown out if she attempted
to leave it. The robbers SI,VM to have been in a gnat .date
of perturbation, breaking up chests and pr saes in the ut-
most hurry and monied ~,,, and missing almost everything
worth seeuring• TI h there was some money in thu
house, they did not di-cover u farthing of it. Some prom-
sions,three shepherds' plaid., with a ft w articles of wear-
ing apparel and some vipers, were carried off. Si, hurried
had been their retreat that they left one of th.oir caps and
also a candle, which was found outside the door next morn-
ing, and identified us having been bought in a shop in New
Cumnowk on the evening of the burglary. We are happy
to add that, with respect to both father awl son, though
shockingly abused and lying in a precarious state, hope, are
entertained of their recovery.-- A yr Adcrrtiser.
M.sittiUS 1M tor.. TO NttentsEßY. --On Tues-
day morning lust, a little before 2 o'clock, the inhabitants
of the lower part of Church-street, Buford, were thrown
into a state of alarm on being suddenly awakened from
their sleep by a tremendous crush as of a fal bag building,
the cause of which, for a while, no one was aide to divine.
As morning approached, however, it was discovered that a
diaholied attempt bad been made by some miscreants to
destroy the machinery in the workshops of Mr. Edward
Roe, master stoekinger, and residing near to the church.
The means employed to effect this Nlll3 purpose were for a
while utterly undiseuverable. The windows, two con-
siderable ranges in extent, were all broken to atoms,
much of the glass being scattered to many yards dis-
tance, as liktwioeo several entire casement, carried out
of their frames and smashed to pieces. Further investi-
gation, however, proved that it had been effected by gun-
powder, or other explosive materials, which had been CUITI
pres-ed into two stone bottles—thus converting them into
miniature bombshells or grenades. Thee: had been placed
under one of the frames, and upon them had been flung a
quantity of combustibles collected out of the shop, which
wen. then set on fire from the outside through one of the
windows, the sill of which hears strong marks of the burn-
ing. Furtunato ly for Mr. lbw, but little damowe was stoo-
-1 tamed by the machinery; the windows, however, ots before
said, were throughout the shops almost entirely destroyed.
As reports were spread that this mischief had been perpe-
trated by some of the workmen engaged in the glove or
stocking trade, with whom there has latterly been memo
little unpleasantness, we think it but right to nay that cir-
cumstances have since transpired of a nature to exonerate
the workmen entirely from any suspicion of having been
guilty of the outrage. There is wow no doubt but that the
foul deed has originated solely in the private malice of indi-
viduals who are well known to Mr. Roe and his family ;
and asa general feeling of disgust and indignation has been
eseited among all classes in the village at this nefarious
transaction, a reasonable hope is entertained that the mis-
' ereants may yet be brought to justice.— Nottispian
Mercury.

who was editor of the ll'est triton. lie said his father was

My sister, in the beginning, was reluctant to the match.
Ile said he had a tOrtune, independent of his father, of '
1.0001. Ile continued to visit my sister. In 1812
saw a letter from his father to my father, which'
my sister opened. She then Sent for the defendant, who'
real the letter, and dictated an answer, which my father
wrote. The defendant took that letter to the post-
Aim In 1812 my norther died, and the defendant at-
tended the funeral. The defendant gave me a Bible, in
which he wrote my name. In July, 1812, the defendant
went to Truro for two months. Ile then wished to marry,
and told me had sent for a license, but could not get it be-
rause he had not resided there a fintnight. I saw them read
the marriage service together. He was going to a situation. '
and he said on his return he would marry her in spite of any '
one. He made my rioter many presents; and among them'
a miniature of himself. My sister went to Truro in 1815 to
stay with Mrs. Rutter, who kept an inn there. ?de sister, on
the receipt of a letter in 1816, was Very much atr efril.
She had spasms in her side. She hail previously enjoyed
good health, but after that time :she hail an alarming illness.
During that illness I opened a letter from the defendant,
which I destroyed. An anonymous letter was received,
which 1 believe was in the handwriting of the defendant.,
It di scribed his bad conduct, and stated that the writer
pitied Miss Dodilly in having such a man. She was always
ready to marry the defendant.
Cross-exami TTT A : I put that letter in the fire. I put
those letters in the fire that were not very comfortable. The
defendant said he did not mind his fattier. [The war,
underwent a semi long and rigid cross- es aminat ion. until she
began to refuse to answer questions, saying that she had
already said enough.]

Ile was furnishing his house and shop. He Asked me to

He said one was intended for Mirabelli (the plaintiff) and
I himself. and the other for the boy (meaning their family).

George Donne—The defendant keeps a grocer's shop in
the chief stri et of Truro. It is a tidy shop. Ile has mar-

Mr. Crowder addressed the jury for the defendant, admit-
ting the promise and breach by the defendant, but emit, od-
ing that the ease was one in which a small measure of
damages would suit the justice of the ease. It was clear
that the only object of the action was to annoy the defend-
ant's family, and perhaps extort money from them. It was
clear that the engagement was a most improper one, and
the defendant had consulted the happiness of both parties
in breaking it oil:

Till: EXITTTIONi AT eftEl.Msron.D.—The manner
in which a large proportion of those who Milo' to the exc.-
, cutions on Tuesday morning spent the reruaiuder of the
day, the riotous intemperance that polluted the puhlie-
houses and pathways of the town, shocking and alarming to
every right-minded inhabitant, has aroused some influential
persons, who have nut Iwfore taken part in the discussion
on the dfects of these dreadful spectacles, to call upon the
legislature, either by rendering executions pric ate or by
either means, to prevent these vicious Teems in future. A
petition on the subject, of which the following is a copy,
now lies for signature in the town:--'' The humble peti-
tion of the undersigned inhabitants of Chelmsford showeth,
that your petitioners have very recently, at the execution
of Thomas Wore and Sarah Chesham, at the county gaol,
near this town, had melancholy experience of the evils at-
tending public executions. That thousands of persons, in-
cluding many women and children' of all agesswere present.
That during the rest el' the day, after the execution, this
town was inundated by crowds of disreputable persons,
who seemed totally unimpressed by the awful scene they
had just witnessed. That the public-houses were filled to
overflowing by the dissolute of both sexes, who flocked
thither to spend the day in drinking, dancing, revelry, and
profligacy; and then i-sued out into the streets, alarming
and disgusting the inhabitants by frealuent exhibitions of
drunken riot and wantonness, rendering the ways impass-
able by respectable females. We, therefore, deeply im-
pressed with a sense of the pollution which bus been brought
upon our community, by the results of the late public exe-
cution, and of the ill example to which many, especially of .
the young, have been exposed, unable to reisognise any good
effect in the conduct of those fresh from the terrible spec- I
tack, firmly believing that the aggregation of such a mixed ,
multitude must tend to the increase of vice, implore your'
honourable house to pass such measures as shall protect I
your petitioners from a repetition of those disgraceful scenes
on or:ea-ions of capital punishment. And your petitioners
will ever pray, ate."—eliclinaford Chrunkle.
SF:In:CUD POISONING OF A MAX BY IIIS WIFE.
—An inquest was held on Monday, and by adjournment un
Thursday, at the Sun Inn, Eastwood, bet Ore the coroner for
the district, on the body of a man named Joseph Umber.
The deceased was a hone dealer and coal higgler, residing
in the above named parish. About the middle of the last
month he was attacked by rheumatism, which confined him
to his bed For about three weeks. During that time he was
attended by Mr. Smith, surgeon, under whose care he
appeared gradually to recover. A few days before his
death, however, lie again became very ill, and was again
obliged to he confined to bed. On Thursday night he be-
came much worse, so much so, that he was unable to reeog- •
Ms. a number of his friends whom his wife had called in
to see him. She however told him their names, and he then
appeared to remember them much more distinctly, and
one or two of them he asked to pray For liini. 'this
having been done, he said that his wife had been a very
gaud wife to him, that she had attended to him very,
kindly throughout his illness, and that he had left her
about 12a. a week for her support. Ile expired soon
afterwards. In the course of the next day a rumour was
circulated throughout the neighbourhood which appeared
to receive considerable credit—namely, that the man's
death had been caused by doses of poison administered to
him by his wife. Information respecting this was trans-
mitted to the coroner, and he decided that an inquest
should be held. It appeared that a man named Robt. Ingram
was employed by the wile on the 13th inst. toopurchase a pen-
nyworth of arsenic for her, in order, as she .11i, to poison
the mice with. Ingram accordingly did get the poisuu, and
took it to her, hut she said that she had altered her mind,
as she did not think it right to have arsenic is the house ,
while her husband was 11l in bed, and she therefore threw
the packet and its content* together into the fire. Suhee•
quest to this, however, she asked another mau named
George Ryley to get her a similar quantity of the some
Ipoison. This man met her while she was walming home from
a lecture she had been attending, and he then gave her
the packet and dd., the change out of the sixpence she 1
gave him to pay for the purchase. The woman, as she'
afterwards stated on being questioned respecting the mat-
ter, put the packet and the change into what she intended
to be her pocket, but when she arrived at home, she
I found that by a mistake she had slipped them in between ,
1 her dress and her petticoat, and consequently, they had
fallen down upon the road. No one in Eastwood, however, '
so far 116 any of the witnesses could learn, had heard of '
. either the packet or the money being found. These were .
! the only instances in which the purchase of poison could he
I traced, tither to the deceax-d's wife or to any one else'
; connected with her ; but these facto being, iu the estima-
mation of the jury, sufficient to warrant them in making
• further inrjuiries, the inquest was adjourned till Thursday,
' and directions were given to Mr. Smith, surgeon, to make
a pus! modem ciaalinAtion of the body. Thu was accord-
ingly dune, and un Thursday last Mr. Smith reported the
results of the proceeding. lie deposed that the organs
generally were very unhealthy, but was unable to detect
any tritest of poison. Another surgeon (Mr. Drown, of i
Eaatwood), and his brother, who had assisted in examining
the stomach and its contents, however, arrived at the
~pa
°Tinfoil that arsenic had been administered to the deceased.
They l, it sergewrni,,sd

and each
were of opimou that ar.enic existed. The inquest was
eventually adjourned until to-day fortnight, in order that
the Aidnach might be sidanitted to some c u.:ucnt chemist
fur aasipaticia.—Natimyhaas Joursal.
