from last Seesions, and Mr. Day now appeared for the
defendant.—Mn Pople, the overseer, whose evidence
at the kat sitting was teed, was crosiwzamined by Mr.
Day, who produced a plan of the property which Mr.
Pople said was correct—Mr. Andrew Tucker's eridence
at the last meeting having been read, Mr. Day enc.
examined him.—Mr. Spicer, living at Cathernon, said
he was agent for Mr. Pople. About Christmas laid and
after he had several conversations with Mr. Bisteitmore,
who said he had had no notice ti lean the glebe, and
he ahould not give it up. The lost Conversation no this
subject he believed was In March last. Mr. Blackmore
wanted to be paid for enexhausted manure on the glebe
land, and said he would give it en if he was paid D.
In March witntois offered Mr. Blackmon £5 for the
manure, which Mr. Pople had told him to do. Mr.
Blackmore then Raid that Mr. Pople should not have the
glebe land unless he gave him LTA for a field of wheat
of 10 stores on the Catherston estate. This Mr. Pople
afterwards refused to give. Mr. Blackmon, had a sale
in April. the day after which witness spoke to bitn
about giving up the glebe land, sod be refused to listen
to him and walked off. Mr. Pople, Mr. Tucker. and
himself met Mr. Blackmore at Fla house previous to

meeting witness told Mr. Blackmore th.t he bail
offered him 1:15. Mr. Blackmore denied that be had that
offer. Witness met Mr. Blacktoore about August just
below the glebe land, in the road: he had not seen him
on the glebe land shin 6tb ApriL Mr. Blackmon had
left the neighbourhood, and was living in Devonshire.
The Rev. T. Montellore, rector if Catberstion, had two
glebe field', railed Great and Little Sanctuary. He had
made an agreement with Mr. Blackmon, which he had
with him, but it was not stamped.--(Mr. Day objected,
therefore, to its being proclaimed, and it was not.)—He
bad neither given notin to quit to Mr. Blaekmore, nor
had received notice from bite. He had seen no use in
nenpation of the fielda since 6th April. He bad received
no rent for the fields since, he looked to Mr. Blackmon
for it. —Mr. Dny aildreneed the Bench, sod said the ease
had been brought for the purpose of establishing a riAlit
with a view to ulterior proseedinga and the Bench
would have no juriadietion.— The Bench, however.
thought there had been no evidence given to show that
Mr. Blaektsore ens net the occupier, and wished Mr.
Day to go on with his ease, who then called Mr. Black-
mon, who said he told Mr. Montefiore he would give up
the glebe land on the 6th of April. He met him in
the street and said he wished him to give it op, and he
said he was willing to. He said he claimed compensa-
tion for the manure. but Mr. Identefine said he had no-
thing to do with that, and he said he was willing t give
it up, and Mr. Moutelicire said very well." He never
was nffered a shilling, end if he had been offered £5 be
aboeld have accepted it. A man would have no
right in the glebe land unless be was the occupier.
Witness rented the glebe land up to the 6th of April,
het not afterwards. He oonsidered that be gave up the
glebe land at the same time as the Cathentone estate to
the incoming tenant.—Jautes Haire, servant to Mr.
Spicer, the dairyman, said he had driven Mr. Pople's
cows into the glebe land, and Mr. Pople hid been in
occupation of the land since 6th April. Mr. Spicer
ordered him to drive the cows there.—Mr. Oundry said
the magiatrates were not satisfied vri,ll the evidence as
to who was the °coiner of the land, there not being
sufficient to show who was the occupier, so they dis-
missed the ease.
