By this Analysis, Three Points will be ascertained:

First, The Nature, and, in many Cases, the Extent, of the
<
lb

</
lb
>
Land inclosed.
</
p

<
p

Secondly, What Persons it has been found necessary to employ
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
in the Division of such Lands, and the Allowance usually
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
granted them; and,
</

<

Thirdly, The Manner in which the Commons, Common
<
lb

</
lb
>
Fields, and other Commonable Lands, have commonly been
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
divided among the Parties interested therein.

It seems hardly possible, that any Individual can be so unrea-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
sonable, as to object to the general Result of such a Deduction,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
however it may bear on his particular Rights and Interests, or
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
should think himself hardly dealt with, should that Result be
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
enforced by Law; and there is every Reason to hope, that by so
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
extensive an Investigation, not only every necessary Regulation will
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
be discovered, of a general Nature, but also those more minute and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
local Circumstances, connected with the Situation of particular
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Districts, which ought not to be neglected on such an Occasion.

The attempting to analyse 1,800 Acts of Parliament, is cer-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
tainly a formidable Undertaking, and the Execution of it must
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
be laborious, but at the same Time it must satisfy the House,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and the Public, that every Means will be taken, to probe the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Question to the Bottom, and that the Object in View will be at-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
tained, if it can be effected by the Exertions of Zeal and In-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
dustry.

In regard to the Powers of the Commissioners appointed under
<
lb

</
lb

the General Act, they will probably be included under One or
<
lb

</

other of the following Heads:
