He named it: Wiltshire Ag Labs c1850 I have made a copy of his article as a .pdf file and can send it as an attachment to email to interested Listers. A passage from his article: '.... at the end of the meal the children are always asking for more at every meal; I then say, "You don't want your father to go to prison, do you?"' Many of course did go to prison. The magistrates, who included most of the landowners and some of the parsons, knew only too well the numerous cases of sheep-stealing, corn-stealing and other kinds of stealing to get food, quite apart from poaching. The more enlightened landowners looked round anxiously for remedies; the most obvious seemed to be emigration."
