Thoughts on the Proposed Inclosure of Waltham (commonly called Epping) and Hainault Forests: In which a new plan is suggested for disafforesting the same: with the heads of the bill now proposed for that purpose
12th. THAT the Commissioners of His Majesty’s Woods, &c. shall be
empowered to sell or exchange all or any of the Allotments so to be made
to or for His Majesty, as aforesaid, (except the Allotment of the King’s
Woods, as aforesaid).
13th. THAT in the setting out the Allotments of the said Waste Lands for
His Majesty, the Commissioners for carrying the Act into execution shall,
in each and every Parish, select such Portions as shall least interfere
with the general range of Pasturage over the remaining Waste, and shall,
as far as may be, have regard to the convenience and accommodation of the
inhabitants; and, to that end, where notice shall be given within a time
to be limited in the said Act, by any Owner or Occupier of any House or
Land within the Forests to the said Commissioners, of his desire to have
any Portion of the King’s Allotment of the said Waste set out contiguous
to his House, Garden or Pleasure Grounds, with an intent that he may
become the Purchaser thereof at a fair Valuation, the said Commissioners
shall, if the same can be conveniently done, set out a portion not
exceeding five Acres of the Allotment for His Majesty in such Parish, as
near and contiguous to the House of the Person giving such Notice as may
be, and the same shall be sold to the Person so applying at a Valuation
to be made thereof by the Commissioners. Or, if more than one Person
shall give notice of their desire to purchase the same Lot, then such Lot
shall be divided in portions to be ascertained, with reference to the
extent and value of the Property to which it is proposed to be laid, and
be offered to the Owners of such Property, in the portions so to be
ascertained as aforesaid.
14th. THAT the Expenses of passing the Act shall be borne and paid by
the Commissioners of Woods, on behalf of His Majesty, and also one half
part of the Expenses of carrying the same into execution, and that the
other half part shall he borne and paid by the Lords of Manors,
Freeholders, and Parties entitled to Rights over the Waste, and shall be
raised by the sale of such an Allotment of their residue of the Waste as
shall be deemed sufficient for that purpose.
15th. THAT the Commissioners for carrying the Act into execution shall
be required to complete their Award, and all Proceedings under the Act,
on or before the 5th day of July, 1820.
