Trinity Lodge - WW's views on the Duke of Richmond's report concerning church property. WW has had an Irishman staying at Trinity who objected to RJ's chapter on Cottier Rents ['An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and on the Sources of Taxation', 1831]: 'the Cottiers morally pay their rents in labour, so that they are really serfs'. WW wishes 'somebody would do justice in these matters. People will not mind me when I write political economy, except indeed, I join to it mathematics, and make nonsense of it'.
