Grace the Duke of Baoroao's Audit was held at
the Abboy, for the tenants in the neighbourhood

his Grace, which took a view of the management
of the farms in general, particularly with relpeft
to their fulfilment of certain covenants, agree-
ments which the tenants had entered into, and
which had been approved of by the firft agricul-
twins in this country. His Grace obferved with
a great deal of pleafure, the very great advantages
'which the poor enjoy, where the farmers fupply
the labourers with milk, efpecially thofe who have
children. He earneftly recommended to all fuck
of his tenants as keep cows, to fell a quantity of
new milk, or fkinnned milk, to their own hi-
boorers and the neighbouring poor at a fair price,
or, as the excellent pra lice is with fome of the
farmers in the parifh of Potfgrave, and ellewhere,
to give them fkimmed milk ; and his Grace with-
ed that fuch of his tenants who approved of this
or any other fimilar plan, and are willing to adopt
it, would give in their names, and the quantity oft'
milk they would fell, with the price they think the
labourers and poor ought to pay for it. His rea.
fon for withing to know it, was, that his Grace
might try to adopt fome plan of his own, where
his tenants are not inclined or difpofcd to fupply
the poor with milk in the above manner.
