A FARMIX'a SHICIF MOT DIRTRAIN ABLR.—A ease of
considerable importance to farmers WWI tried at Chehoe
ford gaisee, before Mr. Baron Bramwell. The action
wiui for dietraining 12 sheep belonging to Mr. Kft.u. a
dealer of Barking, for rent due to Lord Moniington, and
it robin' the novel point that sheep are not distrainahle
while there id other property on which a distress can he
made. Mr. Hawkins stated the case, fnon which it ap

but a certain number ef them were kept for the expenses
in the owe. The imeation of law arose under a ebitute
of Henry 111., which enacted that no titan of religion or
other merino should be digraitied of lib sheep or beasts
of the plough, for env debt due to the king or any other
inan, if there could be found other property on which
the distress could be made. Therefore, no person had a
right to distrain any sheep or beasts of the plough while
there was other property on the land ; and here there
w,re 85 heifers of one and two years old, sonic steers,
and soot. colt., worth between E2OO an I £300: end when
ho hod established these facts it would be a queetion of
law for his lordship to determine. —Evidenee having
been given in support of this iitateinent, Mr. Bolvill, for
the defendant, glad it was not true that there were 33
heifers and six colts on the mind, —the bailiffs found no
such thing. In the cottage there was nothing but wins
rubbish, worth about 2.11. The bailiff, found on the
land 12 head of cattle, steers and holfen, two tows, and
three honig—that wee all. This was not solßoisni to
satisfy the digress for £lO4, and therefore they seised
the sheep. If they had found $5 heifers there that would
have been etifflcient, and they would at ones have seised
them. The. queetion, therefore, would be, whether
there were 36 heifers there as had been stated—tile
lordship said that lir hie own showing there were 12
heifers, which at el 4 meek, with the colt., would liana
been more than enough.—Mr. &dela euhinitted what
was meant by the at woe not beasts of the plough i the
