8. From your Scale take 24 Chains, and lay it from A (in likeManner as before) to p, where the funk Fence was met with ;but before you come to this Point, raise a Perpendicular on theLeft-hand 20 Links short of p, and lay thereon 1 Chain 40Links, to shew the Point that the Hedge must pass, that is onthe near Side of the Lane; and also upon the fame Line laydown 2 Chains, 16 Links, which discovers the Mark C in Ox-pasture, according to the Field notes, from which draw an occultLine to the Point D in Ox pasture, and plan thereon, the SouthEast Off-set therein beginning at D.
