Here (below) is a small problem which came to me from a friend, who had
it from another friend. Can anybody throw any light? I've tried a bit
of web searching, with no results. The phrase "this and adjoining
counties" might refer to Worcestershire and the area round there.

A little problem for you. Can you tell me what are "Patent Manger and
*Boozey Bricks*, as used by most of the estates of Noblemen and
Gentlemen of this and adjoining counties" c.1880s, not in my 1st ed.
OED under boozey or brick.
Google ain't any help!
