§ MR. BROOKFIELD (Sussex, Rye)asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of 391 Lancaster, Whether he has any objection to causing the issue of a Return showing the acreage of land which has ceased to be cultivated for hops since June last?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY (Lord JOHN MANNERS) (Leicestershire, E.)The reduced acreage under hops will, of course, be shown in the Agricultural Returns for this year. A special intermediate Return would, I fear, be inconvenient and expensive; but I will ask the Land Commissioners, who are, I understand, likely to make inquiries into the operation of the Extraordinary Tithe Act, whether they will be able to furnish the information asked for.
