and the submission of the Inhabitants, to the payment of such Fees, is a proof
(it is added) of their not considering themselves as possessing an independent
right, a right that can stand without a permission from the Keeper, which
to that purpose is the same thing with a permission from his principals.
Painted Boards are likewise frequently seen (though they frequently disappear)
forbidding Rubbish to be deposited, but under direction of the Keeper, and —.—
forbidding absolutely the carrying off the Soil: which however is oftentimes —
carried off, in Carts, by persons, some of whom have been known
to pay the Keeper so much a Load for his permission or connivance.—

Copy what follows notwithstanding the lines across.

A sort of antipathy towards the Dean & Chapter seemed to prevail at one time [+] prevails among
some of the leading people in the parishes: who complained of the body as
[+] though at present all such
emotions some, very happily
to have subsided, disposed to exaction, and as manifesting something supercilious in their
Carriage, towards the persons interested with the management of the Parochial
concerns: but no specific Grounds for any such charge present themselves. The Dean
& Chapter represent themselves as averse to litigation; & the truth of this —"—
representation seems to be confirmed by appearances. Many instances occur, of
either indulgence, or inattention to their rights: no instances of a contrary tendency
have as yet reached the writer of this paper. In a map of Tothill Fields, in
the possession of the Dean and Chapter;& dated no more than about 30 or 40
years ago, 67 Acres, or some such matter is given as the quantity of the Land:
& now not above 58 Acres, or some such matter, are to be found: the —
difference must be crumbled away in incroachments.

[+] As to the use made of the waste, by the Westminster Scholars, as a
place of exercise, there seems reason to think, that in point of right it has —
something more determinate than mere usage in support of it: and that it is
grounded on the Charter of Queen Elizabeth, which is the Charter of foundation
of that School. — For, in a pamphlet by D.r Christ.r Wilson, prebendary of Westminster,
published in 1757, in opposition to the plan for making a Square in Dean's Yard
for the benefit of the School, it is said "that the Royal & illustrious Foundress
"providing and assigning the very place, where youths were to recreate themselves
"out of school hours, had shewn herself as careful of their health and liberty, as of
"their studies and their morals."(b)
