Crossed the Thames again, and passed down it a few miles; some fine cleared farms hereabouts, with the stumps of the trees rotted out, but are, apparently, managed in a slovenly manner. They belong chiefly to merchants in Sandwich, and elsewhere, and are let out in shares; the owners getting one-third, and the tenant two-thirds of the grain "raised" (grown) thereon : the houses and barns are also in a dilapi- dat...ed state. Some good apple and peach orchards, which bear the finest fruit in the country; ungrafted apples finer than half the grafted ones in England. Cider from 4s. 6d. To 9s. Per barrel ; or take two empty barrels at the time of cider making, you have one of them back full. An English farmer of property has been about here lately, looking out a cleared farm to purchase. Old cleared farms, with houses and barns, on the flats, worth from 35s. To 11. Per acre. A lot of uncleared land on Bear Creek flats was lately sold for 9s.
