EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

WHITTAKER V. BARKER.

This action was tried before Mr. Justice James Parke,
and was brought for the recovery of certain sums of
money expended by a tenant on land, the property of the
defendant.

Mr. WIGHTMAN in the earl', part of the term applied
for ru!e to show cause why the verdict should not be
entered for the plaintiff, damages 301.
The facts of the case were short!), these. The plaintiff
took a farm of the defendant, and entered into possession on
Laily.day, 1831, covenanting to pay the landlord 95/. for
the tillages then on the land. For this sum a credit was
given, and the landlord did not apply for payment of it
till the end of July in the same year, when some angry
words ensued between the parties, and the plaintiff said,
" Well, then, I will quit the farm." The defendant an-
swered, " You may." The plaintiff accordingly di i so, and
now wished to recover a sum of 301. for money expended
in improving the land, 841. ss. for crops reaped and
sold by the defendant. The defendant met this claim by
a set off of 951., as agreed upon, and contended that under
the circumstances of leaving, the plaintiff was not entitled
to the 301., as the agreement between the parties was for
a lease of 14 years.
The Court at that time took time to consider of their
judgment, and this morning Mr. Baron BATLEY said the
Court bad come to the conclusion that they could not
grant the rule, as they did not think that the plaintiff
could legally claim for the 301., under the circumstances
in which he gave up possession of the farm. The agree-
ment clearly was, and indeed it was not denied, for a
term of 14 years, and the plaintiff did not show that there
was any bargain made between him and the defendant
when he left the farm.—Rule refused.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court, having disposed of several motions and the
few petitions on the paper, rave at I I o'clock.

The celebrated writer Mrs. BARBAULD, sur-
vived the publication of her first production 67 years.
