the feast frequented and populous parts of the county,
the opportunity was afforded me of seeing, under bla
own roof, an able-bodied labourer living upon the ordi-
nary wages of the district. His family consists of him-
self, age 32, his wife, age 29, three girls, aged respec-
tively 8 years, 5 years, and 7 months, with one boy,
aged 3 years. I had known the man and his connec-
tions for several years—was aware that his character wa,s
excellent ; and in the belief that his mode of living all,';
forded a fair specimen of that of his class, I made mysel
his guest at two or three of the cottage meals, and then
obtained some particulars, for the accuracy of which lon
vouch.
The cottage, built of cob, or mud and straw, has twot
rooms, each being about fourteen feet by twelve ; hu
the sleeping-room being immediately under the thatch
and without ceiling or plastering, is always penetrated
by currents of air, and not unfrequently by rain
die
snow. They told me it was impossible to keep a can
there burning in winter. In this room there are three
bedsteads, one without bedding. The floor of the lovver
room is of hardened mud and sand, one window admits
the light. A deal table, a bench, two chairs, a settle, $
cradle, some earthenware on a rude dresser. with two or,
three simple cooking utensils, made up their stock 0!
furniture. Built against the gable end of the house is
sty, in which ho feeds one pig ; but if through disea.n
or accident this prop fails, animal food is
their reach for the rest of the year. In the pigsty

honest friend also contrives to keep two or three ferrets,:
and the penny per tail for rats and vermin destroyed..
brings him, on the average, 15s. per annum, after deduct._
ing his loss of time. These odd shillings suffice to stoFt,
and manure a bit of potato ground behind the house, for
which he pays six shillings ; thus making his total rat
48s. per annum.
The wages, 7s. a-week, are paid monthly, and usuaill
in money. The outlay for the four weeks stands as
nearly as possible thus : £ • d.
