siding in the Neighbourhood, who acted without Fee or Emo-
lument: And it is to be hoped, that many of that Descrip-
tion will undertake so useful a Duty under this Bill, if it
has the good Fortune of receiving the Sanction of Parliament.
But when Commons are extensive, and he Division likely to be
attended with great Trouble, it is probable that it would be more
expedient, and that it has been found by Experience the better
Way, to appoint Persons of an inferior Class, who are likely to
take more Pains, in consequence of their receiving a fair Remu-
neration for their Trouble. The Option, however, should be left
to the Parties interested, to appoint Commissioners of either De-
scription.

Where the Parties are unanimous, there can be little Diffi-
culty in effecting a Division; but where they disagree, a different
System must be adopted. In that Event it is proposed, that the
Commissioners and Surveyors shall first divide the Share of those
who assent, from those who dissent, and that the Allotment of
those who dissent shall remain subject to the Rights of the Lord
of the Soil, and of the Tythe Owner, so that the Commissioners
of neither can have any Wish for, or Interest, in, diminishing that
Allotment. This is certainly indulging, to its utmost Extent, the
Prejudices of those who are hostile to Inclosures. They are thus
enabled to possess their Property in their own Way, but they are
not on that Account to prevent others, desirous of improving
their Share, from enjoying the same Privilege.

As to she other Points difficult to decide on, namely, the Interest
of Lords of Manors, Lay Impropriators, and of the Church, a very
minute and laborious Investigation is now carrying on, for the
Purpose of analyzing a great Number of preceding Acts of Inclo-
sure; the general Result an Deductions from which, at an
Average of at least 1000 Cases, indiscriminately taken, will, it is
presumed, satisfy every one, should it be even somewhat less than
she Ideas he may at present be led to entertain of the Extent and
Value
