§ Mr. C. N. NICHOLSONThe area of the agricultural land of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in the county of Leicester amounts to 2,833 acres in the six parishes of Bringhurst, Cossington, Great Dalby, Hinckley, Seagrave, and Welham. Allotments and cottage gardens amount to 130716W acres, and the residue is let in thirty-two holdings. The Commissioners do not see their way to give the other information asked for, as they consider that it would be prejudicial to their interests and calculated to embarrass them in the administration of their estates.
