LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 25.
TRIAL AT BAR.
ROWE V. BRENTON.--.-DOE V. BRENTON..--THE KING V,

ROWE AND BRENTON.

The trial at bar was then resumed.

Examination of Mr. Coode continued—l have been
steward of Castle Gotha estate upwards of 20 years, and
have never attended an Assession Court. I knew a tene••
ment called Towan. It was a conventionary tenement,
hut it was enfranchised after Mr. Rashleigh's purchase of
the manor. It is in Towington.
Cross-examined—When a surrender is made I desire the
party applying to procure the attendance of two tenants.
Any two customary tenants will do. There is no public
notice given of the holding of the special court. It was
Mr. Gully who was the tenant that cut down timber
and sold it. He cut down as many as 50 or 100 trees.
This was about 25 years ago. I can't say whether it was
before the sale of the manor by the Crown to Mr. Rash-
leigh. I was authorised by Mr. Gully to advertise the,
timber for sale. When the enfranchisement was granted to
tenements, the tenant paid 40 years of the reserved rent.
During the time the Duchy had the manor a Commissioner
attended the Assession Court, but the steward never did.

Mr. Edward Coode, jun. examined—l have an old ma-
nor book of the manor of Towington, which 1 received
either from the devisees of Mr. C. Rashleigh or the execu-
tors of nr. Crews, who was steward at that time. In
1793 I find a surrender and admittance.

(A untidier of manor court-rolls were here read.)
Mr. Joseph Newton examined. -I ant an agent for the
owners of bounds in the manor OF. Tywarne Hale. The
whole of that manor is under bounds. I am well acquainted
with the different mines in that manor.. 1 know the Great
St. George ; tin and copper are raised from it ; it is in
waste, not in enclosed land. Ramoth, Whele Rock,Whele
-Jacket, Whele Charles, Goodluck, Wilde Batson, Whele
Duchy, are copper mines it he waste. Prince Royal is
in enclosed land, owned by Prague-, as I have been told,
by the tenant. lam the overseer of the parish. Whele
Freedan is worked for copier, and is partly in enclosed
and partly in waste land. It was commenced working
by a shaft in the waste. They have now shafts in the
enclosed land. I received the dues for the bounders for
the tin mines.

Cross-examined—l have nothing to do with the copper.
There is a mine worked for tin partly in the waste and
partly in enclosed lands. lam not aware that there are
more than one. I have been down in mines. The copper
mines are so situated as to be able to work under enclosed
lands from the waste. One called South Towan Is situ-
ared so as to be able to go into enclosed lands. Ido not
think I have been down any of the copper mines in the
manor of Tywarne Hale. I, as agent for the bounder,
only received the tin dues.
Thomas Batson examined.—This witness and one or
two others were called for the purpose of proving that there
were copper mines in Tywarne Hale, in conventionary
tenements, which the lessees of the Crown did not work,
having been warned off by the tenants. Evidence was
also given to show that the tenants had a right to cut down
timber and dig quarries or mines.
The plaintiff having thus finished his answer to the de-
fendant's case, the latter, in reply, put in documents to
show that the cutting down of the wood and digging for
stones and mines in the instances where it had occurred
were modern usurpations on the part of tenants on the
Crown rights.
The 'Court adjourned at a little before seven o'clock.
