had possessed large iron-works in the county, and that
the forge stood close to the cottage of the defendant. In
the year 1760, a person named llinde, who was foreman
of the fonndery, occupied the cottage in question. That
for 14 years after the works ha:l ceased, he continued to
occupy the cottage, and newer paid any rent, but that he
continued to do services fur Al r. Harrison particularly;
he attended to the locks, and opened them in time of
floods to let the water off. Upperton married Hinde's
maid, and when Ilinde died, Hyperion continued in the
cottage, and did occasional services in the same manner
as Hittite had clone; that Mr. Harrison held his audits in
a room in the cottage, and had a dinner for his tenants
there ; that he also had a cellar in the emtage, where lie
kept wine and beer, and at length, iu isne, he sold the
whole estate to Mr. Thwaites, and by tile description in
t•te deeds and the plan of the estate, the cottage in ques-
tion was included. It further appeared, that after Mr.
T. took possession of the estate, he put his bailiff into a
part of the cottage, and afterwards took another room
when the bailiff Ma rr ied

Several declarations of the defendant were also given
in evidence, that he paid no rent for the cottage, but that
he thought the services he rendered in other ways were
more than equal to the rent of the cottage. At length
he set itp a title to the cottage, claiming it as his own,
insisting that he had been long enough in possession to
give hint a title, and he rel•used to give it up, saying, it
was built on the waste of the manor, and that the plain•
tiff had no title to it.

Mr. Fullager, the steward of Mr. Harrison, stated,
that he was the person who chewed Mr.Thwaites every
parcel of the laud that was to be sold; that he pointed
out all the cotti.ges, but did not point out Upperton's, as
Ice did not consider it as below.ing to Mr. Harrison.
That with resp-ct to the audits Lein ~t held there, lie had
requested permission of Upperton to hold the audits
there ; that Upperton and his wife assisted in prep iring
the dinner, and that they had the remains of the provi-
sion for their trouble; that Ite collected all the rents, but
never required any rent of Upperton, because he did not
consider it to belong to Mr. Harrison, and that lie paid
Upperton as he would do any other man when he
worked for Mr. IL without any set-old for rent.
Lord Ahergavenny's steward also proved that, in !Ell I,
Mr. Th wanes cut down sonic trees near the cottage,
upon which Lord Altergavenny made Nlr. T. pay 511.
Is. 6.1. as the price of the trees, claiming them as
standing upon his waste.

question was part of the waste attic manor.
