Reasons humbly offered to the Consideration of Parliament , against the passing of a Bill , Intituled , An Act for the better Preservation of the Wood in DEANE-Forrest , so far as it relates to the Inclosure of the Moorish Land , called Wallmoore .

I. BEcause many of the Free-holders within the Perambulation of the said Forrest , whose Habitations are adjoyning to Wallmoore , and whose right of Common there is undeniable ; as also many other Persons who time out of mind have enjoyed Common of Herbage there , will be greatly prejudiced , and many of them who now live well , if Wallmoore be Inclosed must inevitably be ruined , and necessarily fall upon the Parishes adjacent for maintenance ; which will be an insuperable burthen to the Hundred of St. Brevill's , in which there are above Forty Families ( that borders upon Wallmoore , and have no other Common within four miles of them , ) that will be great sufferers if the Inclosure desired should be permitted .

II . The Inclosing of the said Lawn is contrary to the main scope and intent of the late Act of Parliament , Intituled , An Act for the Increase and Preservation of Timber within the Forrest of Deane , and for the Inclosing of 11000 Acres thereof , which expresses that such ground shall be Inclosed as is most apt and meet to produce Wood and Timber for the future benefit of the Kingdom , and may be best spared from the use of the Commoners . For , first , This Act declares this Lawn altogether unfit for the producing of Wood or Timber . And secondly , This Wallmoor cannot be spared from the use of the Commoners , without the greatest mischief to them imaginable , sending them above five miles for Common , who have it now lying at their doors , and taking from them more in value by Inclosing this 250 Acres than the taking away of 1000 Acres in any other part of the Forrest ( more proper to answer the design of the former Act ) will do . Besides , there are the Free-holders and Tenants of the Manour of Rodleigh , who have undoubted right of Common in all parts of the said Forrest . And although Prima facie the Inclosure of Wallmoore seems only to concern a few borderers thereon , yet duly consider'd it will appear prejudicial to the whole Forrest for above 1000. head of Gattel , as Horses , Oxen , Cows , &c. now kept upon that Moor , will be thrown upon the Forrest if Wallmoor be Inclosed .

III . It is conceived altogether unnecessary to enclose the said Lawn for the uses in the Bill mentioned : For that the Act for Inclosing the 11000 Acres hath in express words made Provision for defraying the Charge of making and maintaining the said Inclosures , And the Provision thereby made is sufficient for ever ( if duly ordered ) to raise 150 l. per Ann. for the uses in this Bill mentioned . There being vast quantities of old decay'd Wood and Timber ( no way fit for Shipping ) , that prudently managed and carefully cut by degrees every year , will easily raise the money desired by this Bill without doing any prejudice .

IIII . There is some Reason to suspect a design of some Persons to make a private advantage of this Inclosure desired . For that this Lawn ( when Inclosed ) will be worth at least double the Rent of 150 l. per Ann. Intended to be reserved ; besides , will raise money to Answer all the Charge of the Inclosure . And it would be very hard to take from the Country 400 l. per Ann. to Answer the Charge only of 150 l. Per Ann.

Upon the whole matter , It will be somewhat severe upon the Country if after 11000 Acres of their Common is enclosed by their Consent for a National good ; the same Parliament ( that took Care such Inclosure should be with least prejudice to their Common ) should now by a subsequent Act without their Consent take away the best of their Common : especially ,

I. Because the same is not fit for Timber which was the end of enclosing the said 11000 Acres .

II . Because it is supposed the full 11000 Acres is already enclosed , were the enclosure measured by the Pole measure .

III . For that there is a way already provided for Answering the Charge of Maintaining the Inclosures .

IIII . If there were not such provision yet is there no necessity of Inclosing Wallmoore ; for there are other Lawns within the Inclosures made ( to wit ) in Kannop , Wttewood and other places , on which no Timber will ever grow , which if separated would raise the 150 l. Per Ann. desired , without prejudice to any mens right of Common or the Kings Inclosures .
