former but only his bad condition in growing neere vnto other trées and commonly it killeth any thing The Pine tree which groweth vnder it which yet the Pine tree doth not but is of a contrarie and more pleasing nature and euery thing doth prosper very well which groweth vnder the shadow thereof which is neither so combersome or thicke but that the Sunne Raine Ayre may sufficiently come to any thing which so groweth Wood. But doe you thinke that Pine trees will grow and prosper in our climate Sur. I must néedes thinke so because I haue seene some grow in England though yet but rarely and the reason perhaps may be of the not well husbanding them at the first in which great care must be vsed yet when they are growne to be trées they are then sufficiently able to endure all hardnesse but being set either of the plant or séed they are then most choice and tender Wood. But I pray what course doe you vse in planting them and in what kind of ground Sur. The soile that chiefly these trées delight in is a sandie light and stonie ground and will thriue very well vpon mountaines and in open ayrie places and they will grow sooner better of the kernell then of a young plant And you must lay the kernels in stéepe thrée or foure daies before you set or sow them and let the ground where you intend to sow them be as carefully husbanded tilled as you would doe if you would sow wheat thereon then put 6 or 7 of them into the earth in one hole together 4 or 5 fingers déep couer thē lightly with loose earth And the best time to sow them is in October or Nouember in warm hot or drie places in cold and wet grounds in February or March and when they are growne vp to be young trees you must be very carefull in remouing any of them because it is long before they will settle and take roote and they will hardly endure to be transplanted without hurt and hinderance to their grouth but yet when you doe remoue of them beware you do not bruze or breake any of the roots espcially the master-roote And it is thought this tree will continue the longer if the barke be now and then taken from it because that vnder the barke wormes doe breed which doe fret and destroy the tree And though you may thinke this disdourse of mine to be more curious then necessarie because there be excellent good lawes alreadie inacted for preseruing the wood yet in respect there do want peculiar officers that should carefully looke thereunto those lawes as many other be are little respected therefore if you please before we end our conference Some new law fit to be thoght of for preseruing of wood let vs a little consider of some points fit to be thought of by our graue and discreete Parliament meant to that ende Per. M. Surueyor you haue made a good motion I pray let vs heare your conceit concerning this point Sur. Sir with all willingnesse I will discouer to you my poore opinion therein which is that euerie Fréeholder or Copiholder of Inheritance holding twentie Acres or vpward of land should be enioyned by a speciall act to be made in that behalfe to plant or sow one Acre of those twentie with Oake Elme Ash Béech or Chesnut c. in Counties that are not wooddie or where little or no wood is growing and to ditch and hedge the same defensably from Cattle and Swine or other destruction Per. You say well but that law would as little be respected as any the rest except it might also be enacted that there should be officers appointed for the due surueying and yearely view of euerie mans performance thereof Sur. That is my meaning for after this little nurcery thus Officers appointed to looke to the preseruation of these little groues made and planted according to the proportion abouesaid that is from twenty Acres to one thousand c. I would then haue the high Constable of euerie Hundred Wapentake or Libertie appointed an officer to looke to the preseruation of these little groues and that twice in the yeare which should be about the Spring and Fall viz. Our Ladie day and Martinmas that the fences be wel maintained the grounds clensed from wéeds all manner of cattle be kept out from annoying and spoiling the tender sprigs for which he should yearely haue fiue pounds to be with equall proportion leuied A yearely allowance to this new Officer through his whole Diuision or Hundred according to their vsuall course and proportion of rates and cessements there vsed in other seruices for the Countie Pereg. But what then should these high Constables do when they find offenders in any point of this planting or preseruing law Sur. I would haue them to kéepe note bookes of al their doings therein and that once in the yeare and at the next Quarter Sessions extract these defaults to the Iustices of The defaults extracted to the Iustices of Peace A fine and penaltie Peace and if they find any offence to impose a fine for that default past and a penaltie for the amendment thereof before a certain day as to their discretions should séem méete and that the same chiefe Constable may haue the leuying of their fines or amercements the profit whereof to be thus diuided into foure equall parts viz. to the Iustices of the Peace one part to the Clerke of the Peace for entring distreating the same another part to the chiefe Constables for collecting them one other part and to the poore of the parish respectiuely the fourth part And that also Articles to be giuē in charge to the Iurie by the same act the Iustices at euery their Sessions may haue power to giue in their charge to the Iurie these following Cautions as parcell of their charge First such who haue not planted or sowed such grounds according to the proportion of Acre or Acres aforesaid with such plants and séeds as the nature and condition of the soile will best agrée withall Secondly such who haue not after their planting or sowing comming vp carefully looked vnto them for their better prospering Thirdly that where such Plants and Trées haue bin set and sowne that vpon their planting or new comming vp of them many or most of them haue miscarried and not prospered and that such haue not againe made a reparation in due season to be about or a little after Michaelmas with other yong Plants of like kind c. And where that many fences bee weake and bad Cattell and Swine breake in and croppe the yong sprigges and roote vp the ground bee strengthened and carefully mended That by these and such like Inquiries presentments may at our Lady day and Martinmas be made by the Iurie of the defaults that they may bee compared with the presentments of the said chiefe Constables who are the Surueyors of these
