Ma S 16 : Report of Mr Thomas Huskinson recommending enclosure of Laxton, 1862

Improvements may be effected by a Tenant for Life without any expense to himself. Every expense of Building, Draining, Inclosing, and Road making, may now be charged upon the Inheritance by the Inclosure Commissioners, and the Money advanced under the powers of the Lands' Improvements Acts. I have shown that there would be a money gain of 6½ per cent from the Inclosure, and by a Rent Charge of 6½ per cent for 25 years, the whole sum might be paid off both Principal and Interest, leaving the Owner at the end of the term, an improved Estate without any cost, and with an increased Income equal to the Rent Charge then extinguished. If Lord Manvers preferred to find the money he could then make a charge a Personal Estate to dispose of as he pleased.

I am, Dear Sir,
Yours faithfully
Thos. Huskinson
Sept. 1862
