COUNTY COURT. —This court was held OD TIMM
day, before E. Everett, Esq. The cause list aces.
prised 56 original plaints, four adjournments, and
eight judgment summonses. The business, however,
was uniereally devoid of interest, the ems of Rive,,
Ridout being the most interesting and important.
This was an action to recover a quarter's rent from
defendant, who oompied a house belonging to plaintiff
on the North Quay. It appeared that Miss Ridout
entered the house on the 2nd of June bet, at eu
annual rental of £l5. She remained there until the
27th of February, when she left two or three days
before the quarter's rent was due, and removed bee
goods early on the morning of the 27th of February
before it was daylight, and on the evening et that
day sent the key to plaintiff. A policiernan informed
Mr. Ries of this oircumatanoe, and he saw May
Ridout, and asked her if ahe intended to leave his
house without paying the rent, when she replied
that she did not owe him any. In defence Min
/Admit mid that plaintiff Authorised a man Midled
Bunt to dome to -her, and say that if she gave up
the key of the house at the expiration of the quarter
he (plaintiff) would not tak• the rent. In support
of this statement a man anneed Eliot weendled, whir
said that on the 27th of February he took the key
of Miss Ridout's boom to Mr. Rive, as plaintiff fed
said some time previously that if she would give up
the key he would forgive her • quarter's rent
Witness told Miss Ridout of this, and on those eon-
ditigns she consented to give up possenion,
nrhe took the key to . Rive he mid,
. Mris all settled now." Plaintiff replied
0 yes, I have no further claim upon her."
Witness at the time asked him for a memorandum
to that effect, when he replied " Our words will do
as well." He gave the key of the house into plain-
tiff's hand. Mr. Rive said the whole of this
witness' statement was untrue, and, in reply to his
Honor, said he could not remember whether be took
the key from Eliot's hand or not. The man broeght
it about eight o'clock on the evening of the 27th ei
February. He said to plaintiff, "I am very glad
this job is over." He replied, "How over I" The
man answered, "Yost said you would timbre her the
rent if she sent back the key." In answer to this
he said, "I forgive her the rent, It is not likely I
shall give her £315,. Eliot said, "Oh lye., it is an
right," and then left. Noon, was present when
this oonversation took place except himself and
Eliot. His Honor: This is • strange story. Mine
Ridout: Your Honor, the goods were not my own.
His Honor to plaintiff: Did you know that ?
Plaintiff: I did not. I know she furnished the
home. His Honor said the very fact of the whole
of the goods being swept away from the home on
the 27th, the rent being due a few days after, looked
very WW2 like trend on the face of 60 case. Then
was no difficulty in this action at all. Fir*
