paling

1789, Alderman Le Mesurier), addressing the House of Commons, in The Parliamentary Register,ᴴᵃⁿˢᵃʳᵈ London: John Debrett, Volume 26, p. 172, Gentlemen must have observed that many of the nurserymen’s plantations were wide and extensive, some of them covering several acres; and that their palings and fences were for the most part low, and might be so weak and out of repair, as to afford a very insufficient security against the inroads of robbers and spoilers.
