glebe laud adjoiling, and had not given notice, to leave
that, no had had notice to quit, contently be we.
nailed on to pay Chi. amount on that sMe land, and it
was Mated that Kr. Montiliore still considered him his
tenant. Dnriag Mr. Blacktoore's oosupation of
Catherston F..rtn. a hedge between it and the adjoining
put of the sh be land had been taken down by Mr.
Hildyard. When Mr. Blackmon' left the farm Mr.
Pople took an on, and as this bodge wan still
down, Mr. Poole's cattle strayed into the
Rlvbe land, and Mr. Blackmore therefore had
done nothing to the glebe land for some month*,
and it was said had injured the land in consequence, as
it wasnow covered with weeds and thistles. He had
left the neighbourhood and considered that as Mr.
Poole's cattle had been in the glebe land, he was the
party ooeupyinv it, and therefore liable for the rates.
The magistrates sdlnurned the 0•110 to the next aseions,
as there was not sufficient proof before them who wes
the occupier of the land.
