day and Midsummer, was regularly paid, but subse-
quently and up to the present time he had not continued
his payments, and a distress was levied on his goods,
which were sold for 101. The defendant still continued
his occupation of the premises, and refused to give aP
possession, or to allow ingress to the house, the
garden gate being constantly locked and the shutters
of the house closed. A notice to quit was
served in the following manner:—The bell was rung.'
