and Utley. Ile had frequently seen the plaintiff's diet upon the two commons. To the best of Lis recollectia,
he bad seen them each year whilst he was there, pi,
never interfered with them, and they went wherever they
I)ked, and he nev.A. reeler I instructions from Lee, Stamford to prevent them or to drive them off Mory, Common. He had seen sheep pasturing on the coning,
tended by persons. His father.in.law occupied tkre,
farms in the neighbourhood. and kept a great met sheep, which he need to turn up )n the common, but use
without sonic one to tend them. There was no water In
the sheep to drink when turned out, unless they wont)
poucher'e pool, at the entrance ego of Morfe Corunint.
He remembered the time when what was caMed Lutley

Moseley was the owner'
Witneas The estate Wlti pun:listed by the Earl q Stamford in 1819, previous to which the tenants of Mt
Moseley enjoyed the right of Mode Common, as it ere all open. He had mien the sheep of the Latley peoples/
Mode Common, and those of the Mode people on Lull, Common.
In cruss-eramisation by Mr. Bosanquet, witness said
that there was a boundary between the thirteen.) Lutley
Commons. It ran from Swindon Lave to Meir Line,
near to what was called Lad; Stamford's farm plemktion.
He knew a keeper under the defendant named Oakley.
When he left the defendant's service he did not tell Oak.
ley to drive the plaiutiffa sheep off the Mode side of the common, nor did he give similar instructions to They,
Priest, anottier gamekeeper. Previous to Mr. Rosette
telling the manor of Lutley to the Earl of &alder&
there were several fanners who rented under both, andel
the request of the latter kept their sheep off the Mode
Common, and when the purchase was complete he en•
tirelv took them off it.
Joseph Malpass, the plaintiff. was recalled, and said
that when Mr. Moseley sold his estate lie gave up the
land, and never rented under the defendant or Ina pre.
decermor.
• This concluded the evidence for the plaintiff's ease.
• Mr. Bosanquet then proceeded to call evidence for the
defendant. The first witness milled was Thomas Oakley,
head gamekeeper, who said he had been iu the serviee of
the defendant thirty years, and was well acquainted with
the manor. of Lutley and Morfe. There was a toundary
1 between the two commons, which was formed by a emelt
embankment, thrown up ai a landmark. It rac across
the common from Swindon Lane to Meir End Lou, The

keeper, Mr. Davie.
A map of the two amino., was produced, but the
witnerta said he could ant understand it, and failed to
point out the position of the landmark
Mr. Young nail the best couree I, friend out I adopt
would be to produce the title deeds of the common he.
cause lie could not raise the canes second tittle, if Its once objected to produce them after having lend notice
to do so.

Hie Honour said it would save him and all concerned
a great deal of trouble if the deeds and plan were pro-
duced.
The witness (continuing) said he had known the Lutley
people pasture their sheep on the !Norte side of the com-
mon, but he always ordered them to be removed, as he
had received inatructions to that effect from Mr. Davis.
He had also seen the plaintiff's sheep on the Morfe side,
but he always drove them over the boundary whenever
he saw them.
Thomas Priest formerly an nuiler.keeper for the U.
fendant, said he remembered the boismiary between the
Lutley and Mode Commons There was great difficulty
in finding it when his lordship purchased the Lutley
Manor from Mr. Moseley. A small embankment vu
then beaten up as the landmark. He had often seen the
farmers' sheep go on to the Mode side of the common,
but they were always sent hack to Lutley, especially dur-
ing the game-breeding seams. The plaiutiff alr. ave had
some one to tend his sheep during the breeding season,
because wanesa asked him to keep them oft. .
In cross-examination by Mr. Young, the witness said
that when he first went all the farmers used to tare
sheep out. The only persons he ever asked to tend their
sheep were the plaintiff and • man named Meek during
the breeding season. They were not the lemma of
Lord Stamford, and were the only persons who continued
to use the common, because the rest were the defeuclant's
tenants. The defendant's tenants took their sheep off
about three or four years after the purchase of Lutley.
As long ae the farmers are the tenants of Mr. Moseley
they had the ran of the common.
Mr. limanquet here put in "The Bobbington Enclose
Allotments," prepared under the Lands Enclosure Act by
the Enclosure Commissioners, and signed 16th January,
1827. He stated that it would be tio I mar t road it at
the present time. but he might say that it contained the
venous allotments of parcels of laud as compensation
for the eight of psiaturage on Bobbingtou Common,
which was taken away by the enclosure.
Mr. Young upon examining the documents Enid he
found that several persons had got "slices " of laud in
respect of Emilie an well as &Abington.
After some other evidence of minor importance.
Edwin Eleock was called, and mid he had lived at
Bobbington for fifty years, and his father had previously
turned sheep on to the Lutley Common, but if they
strayed over the boundary they were always driven
back.
Thomas Webster said that the game hail considerably
damaged the crops of plaintiff on the poor's lend, and he
believed he had been compensated first, but he hail not
a right to turn his sheep upon Mode Common.
ThiS coneluded the evidence.
His Honorr then said that the case would have to be
adjourned for consideration, as there were several Mae
portant.points in it.

r ---- '!" •••
Mr. 1 oune said be preferred it to be adjourned, before
he addressed his Honour on the matter.
Mr. Bosanguct wits of the manic opinion, and it was
then ultimately agreed to adjourn the cane until the nth
April neat, when his Honour will give his decision.
