BURRAVOE.

The tenants on the estate of Burravoe, in the south of Yell,

belonging to Mr. Henderson, are bound to fish to their landlord.

Both Mr. Henderson and his son were unable to attend the sitting

at Mid Yell, in consequence of the state of their health; but I saw

Mr. George Henderson at his place of business, examined his

books, and obtained a full return from him. Mr. Henderson had

thirty men fishing for him last year, but these were not all tenants

of his own. On this estate, as on some others, it appears to be the

rule, subject perhaps to exceptions, that a tenant who cannot or

does not fish must quit his farm, or pay a higher rent.
