RENT OF F.l.ams.—The farmers in this neighbour-
hood do not appear to be alarmed at the proposed repeal of the corn-
laws. Three cases occurred last week, which, though not of great
extent, may be regarded as au indication of the fact we have
stated. The trustees of the Mackintosh Education Fund lot
part of their land, of which the lease had expired, in the
vicinity of the town, at ten per c nt. higher rent than was
paid by the same party for the same land thirty years ago,
when war prices prevailed. Another lot, belonging to the same
trust, was rented at 20 per cent. above the former lease. A third
case occurred at some distance front the town. A farmer failed, but
Ills neighbours and others, convinced that this was not owing to high
rent, and trusting to improved agricultural management, came for-
ward with applications for the farm ; and it was let at precisely the
same rent as before, for which ten or twelve offers were made.—

EXPORTATION OF BEER.—With reference to an order
issued by the Lords of the Treasury in September, 1842, on the sub-
ject of the exportation of strong beer, the revenue authorities have
received a communication from Mr. Cardwell. Secretary to the Lords
Commissioners of the Treasury, stating that he has been com-
manded by their Lordships to acquaint them that they have autho-
rised the Commissioners of Excise to permit the etportation of
battled strong beer on drawback, in cages containing two dozen

SHERIFFS• COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner BuLLocx.)

JOSEPH V. HASWELL.

This was an action to recover the sum of 121., on a
guarantee. The defendant pleaded the general issue.
The facts of this case were rather important. It appeared
by the evidence for the plaintiff; that in July last a pro-
missory note, signed by Robert and James Haswell, was
dishonoured, and an action was commenced on the 26th of
September. On the Bth of October the defendant gave a
guarantee to pay the note, in consideration that the plaintiff
would " withhold all proceedings." On the 9th, however,
the declaration in the action was filed ; and, as there was no
defence to the action, judgment was issued on the 11th. On
the 23d James Haswell was summoned before the Court
under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why he did not
pay the sum of 51., for which judgment had been entered up.
Mr. THOMAS contended that the plaintiff had, by proceed-
ing with the action, absolved the defendant from liability.
It was now alleged that there had been a distinct debt of
51. due from James Haswell, for goods sold and delivered.
The writ and declaration had been issued for 191. 195., which
would have covered the amount both of the note and the
debt; that although the declaration was not filed until after
the guarantee was given, yet that the plaintiff could not split
his claim and proceed for one part only ; and that as to the
whole, the plaintiff was debarred from proceeding after he
had accepted a guarantee to " withhold all proceedings for
one month."

The Learned COMMISSIONER, in addressing the jury, said
that the insertion of 191. 19s. was merely nominal, but they
could not go beyond 20/. in this Court. The whole question
for the jury was, whether the guarantee was for staying all
proceedings, or only the action as far as regarded the promis-
sory note.

Mr. Moms submitted that the declaration was framed to
meet the guarantee.
The Learned COII3ILSSIONIZR said it was clearly proved
that judgment was entered up for 5/. only, although under
the same declaration the bill might have been recovered.
The jury consulted for a short time, and then retired for
nearly an hour, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
