RETURN OF ACREAGE OF CROPS. THE following Letter has been sent by thp Secretary of State to the Lord Lieutenant ot this County, and the attention of the Magistrates and other perons is particularly reques'ed to it. EDWARD WILLIAMS, Clerk of the Peace. Brecon, 27th July, 1866. Whitehall, 20th July, 1866. My lord, jhave the honor to transmit to your "Lordship the copy of a lettf-r with its enclosures, which "has been addressed to this Department by the Board of "Trade- and I request that your Lordship will be so good as to cause the purport, of it to be mad" known generally to the Magistrates of your county. "Her Majesty's Gus ernment have no doubt that your "Lordship will concur with them in opinion that it. is "important to obtain, with as much accuracy as possible, the information which the Board of Trade is endeavouring "to procure, and they trust tlint the county magistrates will readily give any assistance in their power towards "the attainment of this object. "I have the honor to be, my Lord, "Your Lordship's obedient servant, S. H. WALPOLE. "The Marquis Camden, K.G., "Her Majesty's Lieuteuant of the county of Brecknock. The following is a copy of the letter referred to in the above:- Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, 23rd June, 1866. Sir, I am directed by the Lords of tne Committee of Privy Council for trade, to request that you will inform the Secretary of State, that as arrangements have been ma le by this Department tor the Collection of Returns of the extent of Land in Great Britain under the various Crops in the present year, my Lords are very desirous that the County Magistrates in Great Britain should be *gain rrquested to afford the Government their valuable assignee in obtain- ing from the several Occupiers of land information re- specting the "griculture of th., country. My Lords have already expressed their obligation to the Magistrates for their co-operation in the collection ol the Live Stock Returns, which could not have been obtaine-l in so complete a manner without the help and influence of the Magistrates and other Country Gentlemen. The Board of Inland Revenue hnve undertaken the dis- tribution and collection of the Schedules prepared by the Board of Trade for the Return of the Acreage tlf crop; and my Lords trust that the Officers employed upon this ocoaidon will be abie to carry out this inquiry as successfully, and with as little objection on the part of the Occupiers, as the Officers who were charged with the duty of collecting the Returns relating to Live Stock. 1 beg to inclose, for the information of the Magistrates, copies of the Form of Schedule w.hich will be issued for the Return of Crops, and ot the directions for the proper filling up of the Schedule which will accompany it. The Return will, only be required from occupiers of, and above five acres of land, and the Schedules will bear the P. st- ,office stamp for free transmission to and from the several Occupier. e My Lords trust that the Magistrates will be good enough to«odea?our to remove any prejudices upon the part of theit Tenants or other neighbouring Occupiers against making a Return of tne extent of their Crops, which is only required for public information, and will only be published an an aggregate form for Counties, or other large divisions of the Country. The occurence of war in many of the corn-exporting coun- tries of Europe, causes a knowledge of the producing Capacity of the United Kingdom to be a matter of consider- able interest at the present time. I have the honour to be, Sir, Yuur obedient Servant, J. EMERSON TENNENT- The Under Secretary of Stale, Home Office. 116 CHRIST'S COLLEGE, BRECKNOCK. FOUNDED 1541.
