COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 96.
Sittings in Banco.
SHREWSBURY v. COTTINGHAM.
This cause was tried some time ago before the Court of
Common Pleas, and the plaintiff (the Earl of Shrewsbury)
was non-suited. The action had been brought to recover da-
mages for the non-payment of the rent of certain lands leased
by the plaintiff to the defendant. The defence was, that the lease in-
cluded only waste lands, and that those in question did not come under
that description.
The CounT to-day decided, after bearing Counsel, that the ease
should go to a new jury. The learned Judge, in nonsuidng the plain.
tiff, had only considered what the term " waste land" embraced in
point of law, whereas the true question was, what it, embraced in the
contract between the parties.
