same terms as before. The eon minuted, and it was
need by him on the 3rd 6th, and 10th of April. He aid
received no notice from the defendant of his intention
to give up the store. Cram-examined: He made the
first agreement with Mr. Hayward, the defendant, at
Perk Mead, in Wyke Bogie, in 1866 It was in tbe
month at larch. He took the store of James Watt.
Mr. Watt might have received rent from time to time,
but it was for him (plaintiff), Wee using as any Other
smot might. On his oath Mr. Watt did not let the
store to defendant in 1881. He did not thiek the letting
was in writing. On being premed am to his power of
recollection, plaintiff weeld not say whether it
was good or not. The original terms of
letting were 201. per week, whisk was to
include the attendance of the plaintiff at the store
on two days in each week. His services he reekoned to
be worth 12a 6d., and the 7s. 6d. for rent would make
he thr 20e. In August, 1866, be dismeontinued his &t-
-antalite* el tits store, se it did not answer his purpose.—

poeed that the store in question were part of his pre-
mises. Pretiou to March, 1866, be let the store to Mr.
Bristow, who was his tenant at the present time. His

the rent was tainted up to the 30th, therefore, the case
fell to the grum.d. He asked his amour whether it

Mr. Andrews then celled. Robert Hayward domed
that he took titte store of Mr. Wait the latter part of
Marsh, 1866, at the rate of 7a 6d per week, for "so
long as he liked." He found his son could not keep the
books and serve the on,temers at the sum time, co he
then agreed with the plaintiff to Five him El • week for
his services, and the /tore. [His Honour putionlarly
noted this put of defendant's mideacol At the be-
ginning of August the plaintiff ceased Ida gerviees, and
he then employed Mr. Watt to keep the books fee him
at Is. per week. He subuquently took another store of
Mr. Watt, on the other side of the house, bet wee after-
~tie told he must have the original one. He had
never authorised his son to act for him.--Croos.

land and took mother store &rutty. 'Pb. letter referred
to Mr. Howard °bleated to being put in, and it
was eventeally decided by hie Homer not to
receive it as evidenm.—Tbomaa Walter Hayward,
defendant's son, deposed that after the meat of •

his father instructed him to give up the store. He

Ast April he saw Mr. Bristow and Me Watt at the
Clifton hotel. Mr. Bristow said "Hew about the store,
am we going on as before." 'Wittier replied he
etlizied so, for all he knew. The convinuffon as to
the store took plus after he knew We had the
contract. Mr. Reward then addressed his Honour, con-
tending that he had proved that a yearly tenancy existed
betimes' the parties. His Honour then summed up in
• deer and lucid manner, samba( that a yearly tenancy
did exist but the difficulty was as to who let the storm.
He thought the unless of the plaintiff were one things
