 1817, and they are expected to be ot March 1847, £950, at reasons given in the Act of Parlinnent, are as follows; 
 March 1848 between £1100 and £1200. It will lie noticed " ^Yhcrcos from tho great extent of the said Tract of Land, 
 tliat this statement of Taxes don not inrlude tho Wild Land " and its great distance from the District Town of the I^mdon
