COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT €2B.

I'ARNIER V. DEERING.

This was an action brought to recover the 5 Inn of •01. Si. represented
to be the rent for a year and a quarter, of premises possessed by the
defendant.

ThcEe premises were in Catherine.lane, and had been in the posses-
sion of a widow lady, of the name of Mn.-i Mary Maclaskic, who,
permitting herself to be wooed by one of ;ter lodgers, of the name
of Dck,:ing, thought proper to ni::rry him. Thi, ceremony was acconi-
plished.!ii the month of June, 1810. The parish clerk attended with the
marriage register, and proved the certainty of the wedding by the curate,
the whole of which was attested br the wedded lady in a manner s:';ric-
what common amongst the Engliih peasantry—with her lunrk. From
this period, the rent was ch:i.ned in the name of Joseph Farmer, his
brother, Richard, having been in the h;tblr of lifting the rents, under
his authority, for a considerable period of time.
On the part of the defendant, it was maintained, that the name
of Richard Farmer stood the lease, upon the receipts for rent, awl.
upon every communication hetween him ard the tenants, and [oat the
name of Joseph Farmer, the present plaintiff, was never before heard et.
Several persons were calk d, who oroved thc accuracy of the Learned
Counsel's assertions, and inentioneld that a rent of six shillings per
week had been duly tendered to Richard Farmer, who refused to ac-
cept of a farthing lass than ten shillings per wcck, which, it had beer:
stipulatA, would be given when he repaired the premises.
The house was in such an untenable state, that sailors alone would
venture to lodge within the walls. And a pretty modest little girl said,
that she had to pin up tarpaulins to preserve the countenances of the
sailors from being smitten with every storm which arose, and which,
but for her exertions, would have fennd ready admittance.
The Jury, without hesitation, nonsuited the plaintiff.

COURT 01 nING S BENCH, MAY 28.

r. ARNER v. FLOWER.

The plaintiff in this case is a f irmer, and the defendant is a person
who keeps horses in the tieighlrrlrhood of Whitechapel. It appeared
that the plaintiff sold the defendant a load of clover hay for 61. 63. but on
examining the several trusses after delivery, it turned out that eight of
them were detective, avd defendant insisted that they should he ex-
changed for eight other trusses; this the plaintiff could not agree to,
but be was desirous of making defendant any rtiler3nable and flir allow-
ance for them which should be thought just: to this defend.. t would
not consent, and he took out a summons zi,;ain;t the thiver of the plain-
tiff's cart, for selling eight defective trusses, and the Magistrates fined
the party 2s. 6d. a truss for each of the eight trusses, which the plain, if
of course was obliged to pay ; still defendant did not think fit to pay the
61. 6s. for the whole load, but kept all the hay, good and bad. For this
the plaintiff brought his action.
On behalf of the defendant, it was argued ray Mr. Garroxv, that in:l,i-
-much as the plaintiff had not performed his part of the agto- rtnr.
namely, that of delivering an emir, laud of perfect, good, an-i
clover bay, he could not recover,
