TURTLE V. PORTER.
The plaintiff in this case was the tenant of the Earl of
Hardwicke, under whom he held a small piece of land in
the Isle of Ely ; and the action was brought by hint against
the defendant to determine the legal interpretation to be
put on a system of farming known as " half farming"among
agriculturists, by which, as it would appear, the ut:der-
' tenant agrees to farm the land, find seed, labour, and, in
fact, to discharge all the expenses of cultivating the land,
paying-, therefore, one-half of the proceeds to the lessee,
who, 03 his part, is bound to pay the rent to the super:or
13ndlord, and to discharge all liabilities for rates and taxes_
In this instance, the plaintiff refused to allow the three
items abom mentioned in his settlement with tir, defen-
dant (who had, while occupying the premises, paid them
all), and insisted on his right to receive his half, free front
all deductions. Tho _claim was resisted by the defendant,
who asserted that, in truth, lie was the creditor, and not
the debtir.

The CHIEF JUSTICE gave an opinion in favour of the
defenda; t.

On tlis intimation from the Bench, Mr. KELLY cult-
sented $ a non-suit, and the plaintiff was accordingly called.
