THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH V. OSBORNE.
This was a case which raised a rather curious
philological discussion with some interesting prac-
tical illustrations. It was an action of ejectment
by the Duke against a farmer, one of his tenants, at
Hinborough, in Oxfordshire, to recover his farm,
on the ground of an alleged forfeiture on the fol-
lowing clause in his agreeinent of tenancy :—" The
tenant to perform each year for the Duke of Marl-
borough, at the rate of one day's team work with
two horses, and one proper person, for every i:5O of
rent, when required (except at hay or corn harvest),
without being paid for the same." The Duke's
agent had desired the tenant to send a cart to carry
coals from the railway station to the Duke's man-
sion at Blenheim. This the tenant refused to do,
though he offered to send the horses and the man,
car tending that the Duke was to find the cart. This
was the point in contention between the parties.
The case was tried at Oxford before Mr. Justice
Byles, who reserved the point, the verdict being
entered for the Duke subject thereto. Mr. Huddle-
ston, Q C., had obtained a rule on the part of the
tenant to set aside the verdict and enter it for him.
Mr. Gray, Q.C., and Mr. Cripps argued on the
part of the Duke, in support of the verdict, and
against the rule to set it aside; They contended
that, according to the agreement, as the tenant was
to do " team work," and it could not be done with-
out a cart, he was bound to find the cart.
In the course of the argument of Mr. Cripps,
Mr. Justice Crompton said, in the course of his
reading he had met with the following lines, which
seemed to show that the team was separate from
the cart
Giles Jolt was sleeping—in his cart he lay,
" Some waggish pilferers stole his team away.
" Giles wakes and cries, Odd's bodikins, what's here?
". Why, how now, am I Giles or not ?
44 6 It he, I've lost six geldings to my smart; _
" If not, odd's bodikins, I've found a cart. "

(Much laughter.)
Mr. Justice Blackburn cited some lines from one
of Wordsworth's poems—we believe from the TVag.
goner—the lines beginning thus :
" My jolly team will work alone for me."
Mr. Cripps cited Walker's Dictionary;—"Team,
a number of horses drawing the same carriage;"
and so Johnson's Dictionary—" A number of horses
drawing the same carriage."
Mr. Justice Crompton said these citations seemed
to imply that the team was distinct from the car-
riage.
Mr. Grippe urged that the team without the cart
would be of co use, and he cited a stanza from
Gray's Elegy :
