The tenants are all customary, except one, (viz.) the tenement at the water-head, the owner of which is obliged to keep a stallion, a bull, and a boar, for the service of the tenants. The soil hereabouts is generally barren, and produces very little corn or grass; but their extensive common-right gives them an opportunity of keeping vast numbers of sheep; these, by their fleeces, procure a tolerable living for the inhabitants, who spin their wool themselves, and are always sure of a ready market for it." "..." "I got at a house near this place a buck's horn, which had either belonged to a species of deer I am not acquainted with, or had been a supernatural production. It was like the horn of a fallow-buck, the beam and brow-antlet of the common size, but the palm more than three times as large as any I ever saw: by the ordinary way of counting the age of the deer by their horns, it must have been near thirty years of age; an age no fallow-deer ever lived to. It is now at Crosthwaite's museum, Keswick; the people of the house could not give me any information about it, further than it had been there in their grandfather's time." |
