Statement of Facts, on the Injurious Treatment of J. Elsee, Esq.: Late Tenant of a Considerable Portion of Havering Park Farm, in the Forest of Hainault, in Certain Transactions with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and Their Agents; To Which Are Added Notes in Illustration of the Gross Abuses of the Forest Laws.

In more distinct illustration of the losses of Mr. Elsee, we offer, from
_indisputable documents_, _which are ready to be produced_, an abstract
of the expences and proceeds, of the farm for the last year of his
holding, and also an abstract of the expences consequent upon his signing
the agreement prepared by Mr. Driver.
Proceeds of the whole £2606 15 0
farm
Expences of cultivation, 1717 17 0
harvesting, &c.
Paid Jones and Green 2066 3 10½
Three years interest on 72 0 0
the money for the hay,
&c. sold to Mr. Ellis
Mr. Driver’s charge for 35 7 0
oat and bean straw valued
by mistake
Articles that the crown 930 8 0
ought to have paid for
4821 15 10½
Deduct the proceeds 2606 15 0
And we have a LOSS of 2215 0 10½
Besides these losses, Mr. Elsee is a considerable loser by Mr. Mee’s
valuing 94 acres of oat and bean straw, namely all the straw upon the
farm, when no such thing was ever mentioned, or thought of, either by the
new tenant or Mr. Elsee; as the wheat straw and the field are
particularly mentioned in the memorandum made at the time, July 14, so
that instead of making an allowance for dung upon 96 acres of wheat, at
what they call a load, at 2 load to an acre, or 192 load of dung, they
have deducted from the valuation of Mr. Elsee’s property 392 load of dung
at 12_s._ per load, (as he has been informed) making 215_l._ 12_s._ but
afterwards, when they found their mistake, and Mr. Driver and Mr. Mee
were fearful that upon this and other points the award would be set
aside, Mr. Driver became very cautious, and refused to interfere, saying
it was all Mr. Mee’s doing, _and pretty doing it was_.
