Swanton, certifying, that the improvement made in

praaised by Mr. Salter should be strongly re-
commended to Norfolk farmers.

thervi-ed by the Committee at their last 'Meeting, to
be proposea for the next year, which were ordered

such means as might be in their power to bring for-
ward a Navigation into the interior part of the
county, from Wells to ,East Dereham ; the advan-
tages of such a projed were set forth in a 'very
strung fight, and it is hoped that ul)atever objections
mat be alledged against it, they. will very ea.,ilv be'
obviated. The plan intended do_ no it s,y to
.any one's property, but.whi u...iettt the agricultural
interest of the cuynty, anti particularly serve tiie
