spoken to the police about defendant leaving bow

breaking the covenants of a lease of • farm at East
Shilyinghampton.—Plaintiff iii farmer reading at
Shavinghampton, late of Preston, and defendant is
a dairy man of the same place, lately residing at
West Stafford. —Mr. Howard appeared for plaintiff,
and Mr. Andrews for defendant —The solicitor for
the plaintiff, in opening the case, said that the action

farm unless they were ringed. • itifendant consented
to do this. They went through the leant rage by

Andrews, however, objected to snob • proceeding,

aided that on reading through the lame, defendant
agreed to the same terms as 11r. Wanted had
taken the term on. The rent for the farm cam-
mewed on the 25th of March, 1860, and defendant
tame into possession the nest day. Plaintiff bad 24
sheep for about • fortnight ova portion of the grass
land before defendant took the farm. The lease was
to be prepared, each party bearing half the tapers
incurred—CS. Defendant paid • quarter's rent on
the following Midsummer, and then said he did not
think there was any use to have the lease prepared,
as Mr. Warned bad told him that if be segued it,
plaintiff would have to pay for draining the farm.
The less* was not prepared, and some time after •
divots occurred about the draining, when be served
• notice on defendant to quit in January, 1861.
From that time until Lady-day of last yaw defes•
dent had continued to pay the rent, but plaintiff
took powerion of the grass lands, and held them for
four months, but be did not allow any deduction
from the rent on that account Some time after deo
readapt said if plaintiff would allow him to remain he
would pay for the drainage, and this was agreed to.
On the 24th of April, 1863, he served another notice
on defendant to give up the grass land in
November, and the remainder of the farm
on the following March. After the nodes

very thine ha ought to have done before,and stated
if Mr. Andrews Oessed to object to such a course be
was at liberty to do so. That gentlemen, however,
would not make any objection, aad Mr. Howard
read the clauses in the lesse respecting keeping the
farm premises in repair, and the ounsuming of the
hay on the farm, and put in the other documents
Mr. Andrews, on behalf of the defence, said no
proof had been addoced as to the state of the pro-
wls/A were in when defendant entered upon them,
and contended that his client wm not bound to place
them in each a state of repair as would remit in his
wending the £7 34. 2d'. mentioned by Mr. Crickmay.
With regard to the gram land Mr. Andrews mid
that by plaintiff putting 24 sheep to feed on the
land in March it was made perfectly useless to an
incoming tenant, and with respect to the bay he
admitted that it was sold, bat add the difference
in °pommies it on and off the premises was not so
much as had been stated. He then called the defen-
dant, who said be entered on the farm on Lady-day,
IWO. He denied that plaintiff had ever read or
shown him the agreement upon which be was to
take the farm. When be entered, the plaintiff's
sheep had been ins portion of the 19 acres of gram
land, but previous to that they had been feeding all
over the land, When be entered the dwelling-
bones on the farm it was nothing but an old boas.,
in • shocking oonditioo, and be was compelled
to have it pat in re mir. Plaintiff told him that be
would keep it in repair, but bad not done so. In
1881 plaintiff came and lived at his house, as he
said he wanted to do somethino to the farm. Whilst
he was there be drained • portion of it. The house
was in • better state of repair when he (defendant)
left than when he entered. He quitted the premises
on the 20th of March last, and there were no windows
broken then,or any other damage to the house. In
February lest when be had his sale the bay was
sold, but he thought it was only about eight tone.—
Cromesainined : The hay was bold in •
lump, although the suction bill described it
as 12 tons. When he left the house he gave the
key to • person at Porteettam. He bought bey for
his stock whets he entered the farm, because there
was DO gram. He saw plaintiff on several occasions
before he took the farm. Some term. were talked
over, which be could not remember, before he took
•p0.5.0cm. That was the first (am he had ever taken.
e bad never seen the agreement which plaintiff
had with Mr. W ihnoth, so he could net have taken
it home—By his Moor Had
oaks any pencil marts on the lease.—Cromes-
amination continued: There was nothing mid about
the bay on the farm, being consumed on the
premises. Will iam W ilinott, plaintiff's former
tenant, stated that he gave up the farm on the 22nd
of November, 1859. Plaintiff purchased some sheep
at Martinstown fair, and placed them in the "Home
Orchard," • portion of the 19 acres of grass land
on the farm at Shilvinghampton. The next day
they were placed in the other portion of the grass
land, and remained there until the latter pen of
March, when defendant purchased them. When
witness laft the house it was in a very bad state of
repair. H. allowed plaintiff £1 to repair it.
Witness occupied the farm for See years. Supposing
he had been compelled to leave the bay on the farm,
ho thought 10e. per ton would be • fair price to be
allowed • landlord formatting Bolt —Cross-examined:
Would swear that plaintiff did not buy any fat sheep
at llartiostown fair, and place them on the gram
land at the farm at Shilvingliampton. He was quits
certain that the sheep were not sent to Porth,
the next day, after having been turned into "Home
Orchard," as they were placed in "Seven Acres,"
and continued to runabout the meadows until defen-
dant bought them. —William Bertlett, a carpenter
and builder, residing at Portesham, said be bad
known plaintiff and 543ilvingliamptun Arm for 30
years. He remembered Mr. Wilmott quitting die
farm-house, and it was in about the same condition
than as it was now—Mr. Howard replied upon the
was, when his honor expressed surprise at the
statements which had been made respecting the
Isms by defendaet. and recommended Mr. Howard
to be non-united intil he could shape things
_better,
and why he did se was, because plaintiff had been
contradicted intl.° material portions of his evidence.
If he had only been contradicted by one +dams, be
might have said that his oath was as good as defen,
dent's, but his statement almost staggered ham wheo
he said that be bad never seen or heard the lease
read, and he had almost made d p his mind that
defendant's statement was not correct. But then
came the witness Wilmott, who contradicted
plaintiff so direct with regard to the sheep, as
defendant bad dose upon the agreement. There was
one oath against two, and was be to throw both
those oaths away? He must fand out in what respect
the statements of plaintiff bad been uontradicted,
and he could not make up his mind to say that the
whole of his statements were correct, and that those
on the part of the defence were false. He then
explained that he had power under a section of an
Act of Parliament to enter a non-suit where there
was ramie to doubt the evidence, and for this reason
be thunght it would be wore beneficial to give a Dori-
suit instead of a verdict for defendant, which he
dimmed to be recorded. He then alluded to the
hose, which he said was the basis of the agreement,
remarking that it would have been permitted
in • Court of Nisi Prins to have been reed at all,
not upon the grounds that Mr. Andrews took, but
bemuse the,, was no stamp upon it. Of course, as
he had given his decision, that would not afoot the
ease to,day I bat if this action was tried again,
plaintiff had better, before it was attempted to be
pat in as evidence, take the opinion as to whether
it mold be admitted. or else pay the penalty.—Mr.
Howard elated that be yea prepared to pay the
penalty, when his honor remarked that if plaintiff
paid the duty on the Stamp Act and penalty, what
on earth DOM would he have saved out of his
estimated
damage.
