The Acts of the 26th. & 30th. of his present Majesty,

by which We are appointed Commissioners for enquiring into the state

</

and condition of the Woods Forests and Land Revenues of the Crown,

</

having, among other Objects, enjoined Us to suggest such Measures" for

"the protection, increase and supply of Timber, on the Forests, Chases and

</

"other Lands of the Crown, for the use of the Royal Navy." as We shall

think best calculated for that purpose, together with such Observations

</

as may occur to Us, it becomes our Duty to endeavour to obtain the

best Information We can relative to the General state of the Woods

and Timber in this Kingdom and the Increase or decrease of the

Stock of Timber fit for the use of the Navy with which We conceive

</

the Object abovementioned to be necessarily connected and apprehending

</

that these Subjects would naturally attract the notice of Gentlemen of

Landed Property in those parts of the Country in which they reside

</

or which have fallen under their Observation; We have thought it

proper to address this Letter to you, to request that you will be

pleased to communicate the Questions contained in the inclosed Paper

to the Gentlemen in the Commission of the Peace in Quarter Session

assembled, and to favor Us with such Information in answer to those

Questions, as the result of their collective Opinions, or those of the

Majority of them, may enable you to communicate.
