The first column contains the quantify of arable, and the second of
meadow and pasture land, estimated by landlord’s measure, that is
including roads, ditches, &c. This also includes the homestead,
farm-yard, &c. places which certainly could not be mowed for hay. In the
third column is given the real quantity of land that was mowed, not
including the _waste land_, and land newly laid down to grass.
Of the meadow laud, there were 143 acres, which was estimated by Mr.
Elsee’s opponents themselves as producing 1¼ load per acre, and this
would amount to about 178 loads. There were 81 acres, which was
estimated to produce three quarters of a load per acre, and this amounts
to about 60 loads. The waste land comprized about 56 acres, which was
estimated at half a load an acre, making about 33 loads. Adding these
together, we have a total of 271 loads, as the whole produce of the
meadow land; and from this is to be deducted 123 loads which were valued
to Mr. Ellis, and this leaves only 148 loads to be accounted for by Mr.
Elsee. Of this quantity, as appears by his books he has sold 119 loads,
the remaining 29 being eaten by his cattle on the premises. Nothing can
be clearer than this detail, the facts and figures of which speak for
themselves.
Another corroboration of this calculation is to be found in Mr. Mee’s
award, (_see page_ 55) which amounts to 384_l._ 18_s._ but deducting
35_l._ 7_s._ for the oat and bean straw, 10_l._ for the chaff, 30_l._ for
the fixtures, and 29_l._ 13_s._ for his expences, leaves only 279_l._
18_s._ for 132 acres of the best meadow land, and 100 acres of wheat
straw.
Supposed Expences of this 132 Acres, sold to Mr. Ellis and the Crown, in
Three Stacks.
