The hundred of Humbleyard pays annually to the land tax, at 4s. in the pound, as follows, viz.

  • The hundred of Humbleyard pays to the general rate for the county of Norfolk, for quarterage, bridge-money, vagrant-money, &c. as follows:

To the 600l. levy.

The soil of the northern part of this hundred, is light and sandy, that of the southern more rich and heavy, the whole is enclosed, though the southern part hath more wood than the other, but there is no great quantity in any part of it.

N. B. The county raises yearly, either a 300l. quarterly levy, which is 1200l. each year; or a 450l. quarterly levy, which is 1800l. a year; or a 600l. quarterly levy, which raises 2400l. a year. All which is in the disposition of the justices of the peace, to be employed as the act directs. I have inserted only the 600l. quarterly levy on each parish, because the 300l. levy is always half as much, and the 450l. levy is three quarters of the 600l. levy.
