it, and we null that there has bees a (Niers' decrease, pie.
titularly so in the western part of Euglanul ; where I dare
say the Committee are aware that the rate• and payment*
to the pour are governed by the price of bread, consequently
there must be a iliministiuo.
The crops last year were meth better in the west of En*

ern regains than its any tither pert of the kingdom.
Can you stale whether the poor are as well employed as
they were?—As far as my knowledge goes 1 found less poor
out of enspluyineut diorite; the winter of 1820 and the spring
of 1821 than in the precedine year; if 1 were to take throe
years, three dales of 1890, 1810, not 1818, lid lot say,
that there were less poor nut of employment in 1820 than at
■ny other of the there periods.

In that part of the country where you think the rates have
been lowered, are they eltit-ily in Crass roontri►a or arable
cornicing ?-1 think more particularly its arable rootitries,
for the reason I have given; and mope particularly in the
estero comities, un account or the eke:ionises of grain.
What is she Emend of your opinion ; what do you think
s the reason of rehourers having wine employ in 1810 than
the• other pertuilsl—The extraordinary crisp.
You have stated that the farmers, in a gr►at many in-
stances, have paid their rents from their capital?—Yes.
What du yoli iguana by capital ?—I .to nut know that I can
explain it better than toy giving a sort of instance, that meet

tree•t, or have bought it in the foods, ur have had it lying to

What should you consider mom the remunerating price to
the farmer for wheat, enchains of rest, provided the farmer
mild so rein?—Very moth woad depend OM the quality ors
maw's farm, because the proportion of rem always bears
harder upon poor laud than opens good hod; inasmuch as
then in the Susie expense liteurred, or more rnpense in-
curred, to cultivate so acre of poor lewd than there is to
cultivate an sere of good land; so that a mats could afford
to sell hi. wheat cheaper off good laud than be could off bad
laud, if Imbed no rest to pay.
What quantity of had did you let under the value of 12..

in two or three other parts of the country.
What estimate did you make of the production of such
lands ?—ets applied to wheat ?
Yes f —From two quarters and a half to three quarters an
acre.
That is, twenty to sweaty-four bushels?—Yes.
Do you suppose that tv be the produce of the best land in

What do you atippoor it to be ?-I..ands of the first qua-

What part of the kingdom ?—I was going to answer fur-
ther by saying, that 1 kouvr mere ■re Gross that have ave-

two bushel..
In what part of the kiagdoin?—ln Wiltshire.
Wiest wutstd you estimate the second quality of land at ?

you specify the different ways is which the wheat is put in,
sad the costs of each?—Perhaps 1 may be allowed to sa-

Perhaps nut so much ?—1 don't know ; I have nut looked
at the price.
Do you attribute the limiest low price of torn and the
distress of the fainters, in any degree to the good crop of
11120; to the nbuuds.t crop of 1820?-1 certainly casino
attribute the distress to abundance, if there was out some
other reason for the price being very much lowered.
Then it is your opinion that the distress of the farmers
sever can proceed from abundance aleuel-1 think It very

equal to what be would base made had there Levu a short

In that we all should agree; but the question is as to your
opinion whether he will or not ; is 'corral aboadaisee,is your
opinion, injurious or otherwise to the farmer ?—I council
moniste abundance to he injurious to any body.
To what causes then do you ascribe the present depressed
price of CUM, and the distress of the farmer I—For the Iva.

Why is not the &wand fur eons as great as in former

the country ; and, of course, if I go bat k to the period when
the war was, there was a great deal of waste of cora, and
CUM was sent to various places, and was consumed its a
arch greater degree than it now is.
Nut do you nut know that during that period we imported
a large ipiamity !—I 'oppose we did; but still we did not
make up the deference, I believe.
Then )0u do out think that 1611 C is any dioniaished coo.
