40,00 ct. a year in different comitrea.
Anal those rents have beer, well paid till this year!—Yes;

Hare yen recrived yourlast Michaelmas mote ?—Yes; I

the whaate of the estates render say nianatellient there may,
on air average, be sheet orre.tenth of the year's rest, up. to.

I ra crave reitls; they strourall sot their muss were paid out
or their !ideate poise, vol floor the profit* of their hest yeaa's

Was that general, ne is particular enmities ?—Geseral. •
Was it mute its nue particular county Ittlii otteitter?—l Jo
nut recollect it was; they are r..ther better off in Illerimilire,
because they have Med very fin, mops this year, but is the
other cuwattes they were pretty much the saute, front the
lowness of markets and the inferiority of the wiliest crop.
In what particular cuouties %tete they iniericr N—lsi same
parts of Notfolk. about Attieborough.

to what parts of Log And were they ireferiut?—They cow-
plainer! about Attleburough of the wheats out paella); Du
well; the IngrlCT crops were very great.
Ihd the farmers state to you a general feeling of dtalrese;
that they paid net of their capital, mud not out of the profits
of their farms?—They did, certeisly there M a Errol Com-
plaint of the increase of pour% rates, which me very heavy
upon them.
Have any of 'holm farmer, given You nay raga"' why they
were so much distressed, besides the deficiency of the crops?
—On account of the lowne.s of the seer kr Is. for what they
took to market produced a very small auto; and the increase
or poor's rates is very great.
Were they the first complaints you heard from farmer, at
your last audit, or had they been in the practice of making
sibtilar repi .H1'18'64)1)8 for some time pest?—About four
years ago they complained, whrus peace tame.
About the year 1916?—Yes; sod then 1 abated some
rents in consequence thereof.
flare yon reason to heliete that the story which you heard
of their paying out of these capita, wa- trite ?—Yes, 1 hove.
You stat.d that in 1816 you made some abatement upou
the rents?—Yes.

To what extent !—About fifteen per cent. ass temporary
abatement ; it happened that one estate in Berkshire I have
the management of, I had to make a new arrangement of in
ronsespience of an enclosure, and coed uo: get the value I
thought it was arose+ by Priem" per cent.; therefore I agreed
f four years that they should have it at fifteen per cent.
below my valuation, and the rent to Ire regnlated afterwards
by the market pike fur the tall year attic fuer, and if wheat
at Newbury market should average for the year up tu Mi-
chaele:as IMO, nine shilling• • bushel. they were to pay the
advance of fifteen per cent. fur the remainder of the term of
twelve years.
lu point of fact, you had valued that land on the steppe.
a:tion of Ps. a bitsbel ?—Yes; the farmer, were wilting to
give my valuation if the price of wheat wu 93. a bushel.
I. that the price acorn at which yon have aesterally va-
lued aritWe lead of late years?—Yea, it is; we used to go to
10s or 12s. when wheat was very high.
IPhe•n you valued lib( at at 9s. at what did yon value her-
by ?—Ga•ueralty at half the pike of the wheat.
Da you intend to recommend the gentleman' for whom
yon receive rents to make any further abatement of rent ?.
provided the limos do not improve there mast be an abate.
noon ; the farmers minim go no without.
Du you.see any .prospect of their being better able to pay
us :it Michaelmas ?...-No; we look for ■ worse rent day, be-
cause many of the tenants have strained their utmost to pay
hut Alirlas. Imes rent; they have sold a great steal of corn,
mid with many of them the ewe will be exhausted.
In point of fact, is the inshore you mouth:fled of a farm
you va'ticd ■tul made a deduction of amen per eclat. from
the rent agreed on by your viduation, the ugly instauce
within your reeripi l—No; an abatement on a large estate.
in Lincolnshire was made before the change of tinsel, but
*Welt had bee, let by auction previous to its Whig put
under our manager's( sit, and we have not made any further
abatement since tl•eu.

Hare the truants centrally applied fur au abatement'—
They have not been very strenuous upon it innately; but
they now stair, that in Chit the flatus de Hut change, they
mutt have an abatement.

Mal abatement, du you think, would meet t►eir difficul-
ties now !—I trolly do not know what to slate, on account
of the lownem of the markets; uo abatement car moven-
site fur this.

Suppose wheat at Ss. a bushel, and an average crop; what
abatement would cutnpensate the tenant to whom you Ism
let at 9s ?-1 should think 10 per cent. would be sufficient,
provided labour sod poor•ratea fall in proportion.
Are you of opinion, that sir abatement of 10 per cent. is
sufficient to 'white the present tenantry to remain, except
whore they are under esipgemeut by lease'—!f the rent thr y
paid previously, was nut au excessive rent, I should think at
would; but that will all depend upon the manner in which
the estate was let previously, whether high rented or not.
that is your general system of letting; du you recommend
to your principals to grant lenses?—y, ; 1 have always found
it has been an advantage to the maragement of ilis estate
to let leases; if it i► a light land farm, for twelve years; if
it is f.esvy land, then longer, particularly if it is in a had
stale when the party takes it.
A great deal depends upon the crops of the country?—
Just so.

Theo are the Committee to understood, that, is your re-
ceipt of 40,000/. a par, if the average price of *beat, upon
• moderate crop, as Ss. you would think you did justice
between landlord and tenant, if you recommended au abate-
ment of 10 per cent.?-1 should think so, provided there was
nothing extraordinary at lending any particular estate, or high
poor% rates. I certainly think, if they could look forward
to on ave►age of Bs. fur wheat, 10 per cent. would be a suf-
ficient abatement.

If the exprasee sect oulgtiinp of the farmer were to re-
main the lame, with an abatement of one shilling per
bushel is the price of wheat, would 10 per cent. then be a
sufficient deduction ?—Certainly nut; because, 1 presume,
that when the corn is lower, the labour will become loner,
mid the woes tales lower.
Then )1111 think the abatement of 10 per cent. sufficient,
having reference to the diminished **prose which the farmer
would be liable to in raising his crop !—Just so.
If you valued farms uuw out of lease, or to let, what would
be your calculation, in point of fact?—We ate quite at a
loss, we du not know what to Ax upon.
If the price of sheet was scree shilling., what would be
your deduction then ?—lteally 1 du nut know how to sure.,
this question immediately, because in the present stale of
things the espies(' bears so large a proportion to the gross
produce, that unless some change takes place it is almost
impossible to form any data to go by. •
Are you of opinion that the fall in the price of corn has
fell more rapid thus the disniention of the expense of the
f...rmer in raising it i—Certatuly; I ma clearly of opinion.•
that it has been greater.
Supposing the price to eostintte at its pretest depressed •I
state, do pia apprthesid that the expenses would consider-
ably diminish from what they Dow ate!-1 sot bkrdly able

to form an opinion ; I streald say, they ought to be reduced;
but it is a difficult thing when youltave got thelaboarers to
high wages to get them down again; for they will go to the
rates fur rehef, wad only work nu a bargain.
Have you *urged your nailed to what yrNs .ball &I'm, the
neat audit day, supposing the imposts to press on their
*landlords, Armagh you, their difficulties and distresses?
tan take no other course than recommeoding an abate-
ment.
What abatement do sot know at present to what
tweet.
Do you think, if wheat was at the price which you now
imagine, eight shillings a bovhel, that the lemmata of the
land of which you now speak, Nomad fum npi.th the same
spills that they Lave been used to do?—Nu, 4 should not
. imagine they eruabl, because tire iutlucruicat Wei very great
till within these last four or five years, having got large
prices.

They wrothd not lay out ao MIMI in labour?-No, it has
beew au observation with the large fanned, that the smaller
farmers are afraid of employing labourers at the present
time, anal that those jammers come upon the parish.
Thru, in that care, the poor's rates mast be materially in.
creative—They certainly are. .
flu not the pour rates depend more on that, than they tin
on the Nevem.. or decrease in the price of corn ?—No ; I
think it is the decrease of the price of corn that operates
upon the mind of a. farmer, and preveuts Into from employ-
ing the poor.
Then, as a farmer iv lees able to employ the poor, the
poor have less money to bay their bread with, aad the
poor's rates are iocreased by that, more than they ate ditui-
Minted by the low price of corul—CerlainlYr
" Do not you think, that the reason that the entailer farm-
ers are afraid of employing the !abetment, arises from the
"uncertainty of the price of corn and agricultural pro-
duce in general, awl that that would be very much
diminiah-
eJ,ifthe price of produce was steady?—Yes, I have uo
doubt of it ; the fear is, that they shall not be retutnierited
for the som they expend in labour; and they, unfortunately,
do not see that th) pay as much by throwiag it on the
poor's rates, without deriving any beueet from the labour.
If the firma in 'whirls you hive bee. principully engaged
were at this time vacant, you would have no difficulty in
letting them ?—That would depend entirely upon the na-
ture of the laud; if heavy !mid farms, I should had great
difficulty, air very poor light land fume.
IVould it not also derail upon the mode in which it bad
been cultivated ?A great rleadwould depend int the state of
the farm the tenant was to ,take to, and the natant of the
soil. .

Do you not think that many men would be induced to en-
ter upon a nuns speculating upon reaping a share of the ca-
pital which his predecessor list invested )—No ; I should
Not imagine that any person would take it upon that prin.
eiple, br..cauie it could not last above two or thtee,yeara be.
fore it was worn out, and the tenant who was going out
would take care to leave very little behind fur another per-
sun to !tench' by, if be was certain of going out.
Au allowance. is always made for that by the custom of
the country ?—A farmer is restricted by the custom of the
cavalry; but he has the means of taking away a great por-
tion of that which he puts un the. ground.
But a man. on leering a farm, must Calculate upon the
price he would obtain for his farm when he sells off .—He
cannot, ou taking a farm, form as opinion what will be the
price at the time of bin quitting, or of the amount of his
stock.

A farmer remains in the firm till he is driven to deepen.
lion, rather than leave it ?—There are many who bare in-
seated a large capital informs, that, c'e anxious to amain
in, with a hope that the times will improve.
Taking into your consideration all the circumstances
which govern your calculations, in re-letting a farm, poor's
rates and all other charges, to which a tenant is liable, are
/Ow of opinion lbat upon thyme which your have let at fair
rents, being semi a calculation of eine shilliusgs a twahrl
of wheat, that an abatement of ten per cent. would he a
sufficient allowance to the tenant, if the price fell to eight
shillings a bushel, as a steady price ?—Pruvided the labour
and poor 's rate fell in the same proportion.

YLis stated that you should and .a difficulty in letting
farms, in heavy hind. and pour light lands; fr..tn want cr-
ctinistauces are Mose farina • lees likely to be in requisition
than farms of a (lament descript ion ?—kleettuse the produce
is so uncertain; u it depends upon the season so much, sod
the expense is very great in cultivating heavy land..
Ale those • description of !aids which have been brought
very numb into cultivation of late years, daring the high
priced—No doubt, a great portion of the heavy lends and
light lands have been brought into cultivation is conse-
quence of the late high prices, which otherwise would
Lave remained in their origioal state of pasturage.
Has there not hew a considerable out-lay of capital on
thus laadsl—Very great.

le there nut, if they should go out of cultivation, a very
heavy loss to be ustriued, either by the laiidlord or the
teliant, according u the capital has heels advanced, by one
or the oilier ?—Certainly, there must be • very greet loss,
particularly upon the heavy laud; the heavy land would re.
quite a large capital to britag it into cultivation, and con-
tinue it so • the light land is out soexpeuive to cultivate.

Would not the capital already laid Mil Ull the heavy laud.
improve it when it came into a slate of pasturage again?—
If it has been improved by drainage, it will be better for the
pasturage, undoubtedly; but cold clay lauds are not rouge.
nial to pasture; they area lung tine before t!iey get dour
again to pasture.
Have you been in the habit of letting farms by tender?—
No; nor by auction.
n titre they have been let by tender or anti ion, rents have
been given very far ()weeding the rent calculated upon the
data you have stated?—Certainly.
Upon a cold clay suil, how long is it Wore land baronies
good grass hand again'-1 should think it impossible on a
cold clay soil, to ler t a clod grass order nine or ten years.
Where lauds have been let by tender, particularly if they
are of that de,criptiou you have mentioned, namely, heavy
Mods or poor light lunds, what do you conceive intuit be the
abatement of rent in such cases ?-a I am quite puzzled to
say what it should he, because heavy hod• have had a con-
siderable rise, in tome• instauces, to thirty shillings an acre;
and that was merely owing to the extraordinary high price
of the markets; those same lauds probably uow would nut
let fur more than severe or eight shillings.
1)0 you think that tell shillings a bushel would maintain
those lands in cultivation at the present rents!--1 think ten
shillings a bushel would continue the heavy lands in cultiva-
tion at a fair rent, if the farmer could look forward to that
average with a reduction in the price of labour and poor's

A:id the greater part of the light land 3104.0—There is not
an great /111 repent.% on the light lands. therefore them is no
doubt they would be continued in cultivation.

The light land is capable of twill brought into a state of
cultivation ?—Yes; wbeu 1 speck of lucid land, I Mean the
inftriur light laud; but which by the turnip oysters is able
to keep a flock on it.

Is there not a great portion of land that may be considered
light land, and yet not be called poor laud '—Yea; I du nut
allude to light loamy laud, hut pour sandy laud.
And black gravelly land?—Yes.
Is the Committee to understand, that, exce4pl lauds of a
very interior description, to which you have alluded, in case
of any of tha estates which you manage being out of lease,
you would prubahly redrt them without damnlty to sub-
stantial tenants ?—I ILiuk I could.

Do you think that you could 41 them, if the Metals who
wine to take them, in general p.id at the present prices, and
the present prices of produce were to cuntinue ?-1 du not
know, if the present prices were likely to continue, and they
could not see soy Lope of a chauge, the farmer would be
alarmed, and would uot think of spending the little capital
he has remaining.

Would not the throwing out of cultivation the heavy and
the light lands, throw an additional burdris ow the other
lauds iu cuitiiation, by the pool's rate )-11 should wink so,
becamse the employment (or labourers would be considerably
reduced.

Has the price of labour entl the general expeases of farm•
Mg, fallen with the prier of produce, and vista nit!' the rise
of produce?—Not io proportion ; they are more apt to rise
than to fall in proportion.
HOW soon after a rise and fall in the price of produce, do
you generally observe au slterstioo in the price of labour ?
The itieleasrd piico of labour will follow the high prices of
corn rapidly, because a poor man feria the dune immodi•

ately; but, en the 'eoetrary, when tbp price of con sinks,
it is a considerable time before the price of laborer COO be
reduced to its proper proportko.
Will net a competition amen, the !ohmmeter sink the
price of labour in proportion to the WI M the priim Of
prodosie—Unfortuttately, there is sot generally a competi-
tion with them.
No competition among labourers?—Nu, hardly any; for
-the idea they wave entertain iy that they must be supported
by the parish, whether they labour or not.
Are they as well supported when they de not labour as
when they du?—That will depend a great deal upon the
Magistrates of the country, whether they are in the habit of
allowing them too large a snm or not; if they insist on the
farmer, in the neighbourhood making up a certain weekly
rum to a labourer, according to his family, then 1 think that
the spirit of Industry is broken in upon in • great degree.
The Committee wish to know from yip", what is the actual
practice in respect to the allowances made to laborrers unt
of work; du they receive as much u when they labour?--I
should think, in many instances, they do; but I out nut
able to'snswec this question clearly, because 1 am nut mi
conversant with the allowances that are ordered by the
M oeistro tea.

lines it not tkpend upon whether there is • considerable
deniaud fur labour or nut, whether they are better utr on in-
tutor than on the tioor's ratev i—lf there was • scarcity of
labourers, there nimbi he ■n increase of price; but that dees
not happen to my knowledge; quite the reverse,
Do you *sok the poor's rates ewer increase without its
being preceded by a fall in the price of labour?—Yes; the
increase: of poor's rates will proceed from eau-wive high
prices, temporarily.
Eliceisive high prices of what'—Of corn.

At what price du you think wheat enu he raised is this
country, on the very best land, so as to afford a profit to
the farmer, if be hail uu rent whatever to pay ?—lt requires n
calculation I hair not gone into, to smwer this quesitou.
Can you state generally to the Committee, what has been
the rise of the rents spun the lands you manage within these
thirty years?—That depends nl the manner in which the
estates were let previously; there is no rale which you can
take as a general rule ; w souse instances they have bern
doubled, or more than that ; trtle-es not more than ten per
cent., or twenty but all depends epos Situ manse! the estate
was perilously let, and the iinprovestent that has byes Dade
upon it.

llid you ever form auy opinion its to the number of per-
sons who are sub-istrd by %heir labour on arable laud, es
compared will. Muse on pasture land ?—Nn, I never did.
What should you suppuse?—l am not able to speak es.
belly, but I shuaid 11UppOse very cousiderably greater up• o
au ?wattle Iset4. •

You have 'pokes to the probability of •ery light and heavy
land returoiag to a elate of ',moorage ; in that erne tie
pour's rates its those parts must of course be materially in-
creased '—Pruviiied the pupolatiou does nut eeercase,
eertain;y.
lu whet part of Norfolk are you engaged'—.,bout Attie
borough, Walton, and Luilatm.
The laud itt the •et;hbuorhotd of ititleborough is, gene-
rally speaking, good laud ?—There is some very gond laud,
wme imliffertut ; but iu gene's' it is very pretty laud.
That about Milieu is what ?—There is some good land
just about Walton; hut there is • large tract of very poor
light land in the neigbhoarbood,

What shook, pus suppose is the average produce per erre
of the the neighboorhood of Attlehorougli of which
you speak i—The lauds very #.O touch, it is difficult to
state.

G.nerallj 'peaking, what is the average produce of wheat
and barley ?—The average produce of whist may be abour
three-quarters and a halt; and barley about five quarters.
At the present price of curs, could any of that land of
which you speak, continue to he cultivated with any pros.
pert of advautage tu the uct•u pier, either at Att!thorough or
Wattun ?—Nu, I du not coasiiler they could, the present
prices of corn being so very low; but to speak clearly upon
it, it would be nreessary tu go into a calculation ; though 1
should think it could nut

Wilco you say that it could ow:. Jo you mean the occupier
paying relit, or If he paid no root ?--1 presume that he must
pay rent. •
Could it at a reflection of 20 per cent. upon the present
rent at the present prices ?—I em not able to give an imme-
diate answer ; the reduction of prices of cure extends over the
whole produce of the land, but the reduction of real only
goes to a mailer piirtiou th. reef.

Can you answer, whether the crop of the last year was an
average crop, or over or under it ?-1 have stated, that in
some instances the farmers hare complained of their crop of
whrat not yit Ming sts well as they thought it would from the
uppearaoccuotbe groans', and as far as / can learn from the
farmers,' they say it dues nut produce Nearly so well, to
judge Crum it whin on the etoittill, I should hare said there
svuithl have been more than an average crop.
Do you know any thing with regard to oats =The estates
under my management are not fen lauds.
At what proportion of the gross produce of the lands do
you estimate the rent ?-1 list depends upon a variety of
circumstances; it is insposrwle to hare ally regular data.
Within your experience hate there been great improve-
menu made iii husbandry ?—Certainly.
out the rife eta of those improvements been to sDord
a greater quantity of produce fur the same amount of
capital ?.—The increase of produce has depeuded upon the
expeaditure of capital.
Would you call any thing an improvement which was not
followed by the etiect of giving a greater quantity or
produce, with the expsiiiiiittit. of tile same capita/ ?-1 Lore
tasted, that according to the expenditure, Ilie quantity has
been increased.

If the produce has been increased merely in proportion to
the increased expenditure that is nut an improvement at all ;
it would be, if he obtained a greater quantity opinion
is, that according to the expenditure the produce is iu-
creastd ; that is, a judiciuus expenditure.
Supposing a man to contione only with the same amount
of capital upon his farm, and by his own ingenuity, or by
copying better methods of his neighbours, is he able, a! the
same expense, to raise a Knitter crop ?—There is no doubt a
very great difYerence beiween farmers; pale farmer will raise
a much larger crop of corn at the same expense than another
farmer; much depends upon judgment in farming.
From your exrerience, have there been considerable int-
prove:moult; ban the produce been increased fur the tit prit.
dilute of the same capital • has good farming increased,—
Yes Yes; them is no duuht that good farming has increased tLr
produce.
How many years have yon been a land surveyor !---On my
own account, I have been about tiventylour years, and
was eleven years as assistant 10 the late 11r. W. Black. of
Epping, a man very eminent; 1 have been five-mod-thirty
years in the business altogether.
Within that period, whip, upon an average, on the hinds
you have managed, has been the increase in the rent ?-1 do
out know that lever took the pains to collect it; it varies
accurdiug to the original letting of the laud.
What du you suppose the rents spun the 40,000/. a year,
ycu now collect, have increased should think there has
been a rise of about fifty per cent. on an average.
Have many of them comiuued under the 1.11J11! tenantry!
V, ry few changes, except by death.
You say that, at your last audit day, and in your inter-
course with the tenantry lately, they bave stated their dis-
tresses and difficulties; slid they point out to you Any re-
medy, or any method by which those distresses could be re-
lieved, in their judgment ?—The opinion that the farmers.
generally serum to eitiertaiti nits. that if there was au im-
portation ditty on foreign corn, it would relieve them ; that
they would be able then to send their produce to market un
equal terms.

Du you suppose that this impression whirl* you And sawn
Ibe tenantry has arisen very much from the circulation of
the °Mown/ of a Committee that is silting at Ilenderson's

generally, entertain much the sense opinion as that Commit-
tee, from what 1 can learn from them.

Their opinion ie, thew, that a large import ditty tipoo fo.
reigu cora woald relieve them ?—.Yea; they lout Lt it in two
points of view; they say, that the duty would relieve them
in their taxation, as well as enable them to meet the foeeign
Cure at marvel eu equal terms.
