In this recapitulation the estimates for Rent-free Residences, for London Properties, Leaseholds, Impropriate Tithes, &c., &c., are not repeated, although we have been careful to greatly under-estimate them in all cases. We leave them as a set-off against depreciated Irish Landed Property and certain errors of over-assessment in the Domesday Return which told against owners of Ground Rents.
