The present government of this important place is under the prudent administration of the Right Honourable the Lord Newbrugh. From hence there is nothing for many miles together remarkable but a continued level of unhealthy marshes, called the Three Hundreds, till we come before Leigh, and to the mouth of the River Chelmer, and Blackwater.
