Tit! IVErireitnv SALE.-it is notorious enough, that
some of the land about Wetherby has been let for 31. per
acre; other portions of excellent land for little more that
11. As may be expected, some of the tenants felt them-
selves aggrieved, and in the spring of 1623 the majority
of them signed a petition to the Duke of Devonshire,
praying for a redaction of rents, &c., and two respectable
and intelligent gentlemen of the town were deputed to
wait upon his Grace. They aecordinelv proeeetlea
London, and after surmounting not a few iliffienitiLs the
succeeded in getting access to him, and it is understood hal
his promise that he would appoint proper persons to style!
the estate: conformably with his declaration, in the spite;
of tells year the Noble Duke sent down Messrs. Ict
the purpose of fulfilling his promise ; and the sale which
has just taken place is said to he in consequence of un-
brage he took on being petitioned on the subject. This *
the rumoured reason for the estates being brought to the
hammer, which seems to obtain the most credence. Among
the improvements already spoken of at Wetherby, the
bridge is to be widened, a new market erected, a canal to
be cut, and manufactories to be erected on the banks of the
Barge.—lfull raper.
