CAUTION TO LANDLORDS.--The following cit.-
cunistance has recently occurred in a neighboirl.
ing county, and may operate as a caution atgainst
haitily granting leales-:—A person offered to rent
a mill andiands, npon condition of expending a
good sum in repairs, and havinga lease.- The
tradesmen were set to work, and the lease grant-
ed. In the interim, the tenant bcirrowed money
from the landlord, at;(1 raised more upon the se•
curity of a part of the crop. The tenant disap-
peared,and the crop was carried off. The trades.
men's bills were not paid, and the landlord re-
ceived no rent. Soon afterwards, the _insolvent
was discovered and lodged in prison. From hence
be tendered halt a crown in the pound to the
landlord, and offered the lease for. sale; securing
to himself under the event of the sale more than
601., besides what he had previously gained from
the landlord by borrowing and the disposal of the
crop. Thus, without to shadow of right, in fore
conscient, is the property .of the landlord made a
vehicle of profitable speculation. ---.(Gloucester
