siding in the Neighbourhood, who acted without Fee or Emo-<lb></lb>
lument: And it is to be hoped, that many of that Descrip-<lb></lb>
tion will undertake so useful a Duty under this Bill, if it<lb></lb>
has the good Fortune of receiving the Sanction of Parliament.<lb></lb>
But when Commons are extensive, and he Division likely to be<lb></lb>
attended with great Trouble, it is probable that it would be more<lb></lb>
expedient, and that it has been found by Experience the better<lb></lb>
Way, to appoint Persons of an inferior Class, who are likely to<lb></lb>
take more Pains, in consequence of their receiving a fair Remu-<lb></lb>
neration for their Trouble. The Option, however, should be left<lb></lb>
to the Parties interested, to appoint Commissioners of either De-<lb></lb>
scription.</p>
<p n="746">Where the Parties are unanimous, there can be little Diffi-<lb></lb>
culty in effecting a Division; but where they disagree, a different<lb></lb>
System must be adopted. In that Event it is proposed, that the<lb></lb>
Commissioners and Surveyors shall first divide the Share of those<lb></lb>
who assent, from those who dissent, and that the Allotment of<lb></lb>
those who dissent shall remain subject to the Rights of the Lord<lb></lb>
of the Soil, and of the Tythe Owner, so that the Commissioners<lb></lb>
of neither can have any Wish for, or Interest, in, diminishing that<lb></lb>
Allotment. This is certainly indulging, to its utmost Extent, the<lb></lb>
Prejudices of those who are hostile to Inclosures. They are thus<lb></lb>
enabled to possess their Property in their own Way, but they are<lb></lb>
not on that Account to prevent others, desirous of improving<lb></lb>
their Share, from enjoying the same Privilege.</p>
<p n="747">As to she other Points difficult to decide on, namely, the Interest<lb></lb>
of Lords of Manors, Lay Impropriators, and of the Church, a very<lb></lb>
minute and laborious Investigation is now carrying on, for the<lb></lb>
Purpose of analyzing a great Number of preceding Acts of Inclo-<lb></lb>
sure; the general Result an Deductions from which, at an<lb></lb>
Average of at least 1000 Cases, indiscriminately taken, will, it is<lb></lb>
presumed, satisfy every one, should it be even somewhat less than<lb></lb>
she Ideas he may at present be led to entertain of the Extent and<lb></lb>
Value <lb></lb>
