HAVERFORDWEST, APRIL r 3.

At our General Salons, a few days lime, a
point of late very interefling to all landlords and
tenants came on to be difeuffed in a elute wherein
John Bart let Allen, Efq. of Cretfelly, was the plain-
tiff, and Mrs. Harris was the defendant. It was
an affirm of ejeftment, brought to recover the pof-
feffion of a very valuable farm, which had been let
by Mr. Allen, to Mr. Williams, the father of Mrs.
Harris, on a leafe, referving a condition, that if
the leffec or his afligns thould, without the licence
of the leffors in writing, let any part of the pre-
mites, excepting the pafture lands, to be depaftur-
ed only, the leffor thould have a right to re-enter,
and avoid the kale. It appeared in evidence, that
Mrs. Harris had let out the whole of the farm to
different under tenants, and that the had, two or
three years ago, when corn was dear, given per-
million to thofe under tenants to plough up the
pafture land, exacting from them a higher rent
in confequence. On the part of the defendant thefe
fads were not denied—hut it was proved that in
the year :795, before the a&s of forfeiture had ,
been committed, Mr. Allen had by letter given
Mrs. Harris leave to let the manfion houfe to a
relpeßable tenant, on condition of his fulfilling the
covenants of the 'cafe, and not tiling the plough
on any part of the premifes. On this evidence,
Mr. TovcxgT, Mr. PHELPS, and Mr. LORD, for
the defendant, argued, that according to Duni-
pries cafe, which is reported by Lord Coke, the
licence given by the plaintiff to let part of the
elates, dettroyed the condition altogether, that
cafe eftablithing, that a condition of this fort is en-
tire, and if difpenfed with in part, is difpenfed with
in the whole, and for ever ; that in confeqoence,
Mrs. Harris's intereft, after fuch licence, be-
came abfulute, and freed from the conditions
' and Mr Allen could take no advantage of her fub-
fequent aRs. On the other hand, Mr. &duet
WILLIAMS, Mr. Assam, and Mr. TAUNTON, for
the plaintiff, contended, with great ability, that
here were two dittinet alts of forfeiture proved, viz.
the underletting, and the ploughing up of the paf-
ture land ; that though the condition as to the nn-
derletting was difpenfed with according to the
authority cited, yet that had nothing to do with
the ploughing op, to which Mr. Allen had given
no permifflon, but, on the contrary, had exprefsly
protetted againft it.
1 Mr. Jultice LLOYD, in a molt able and perfpi
cuous judgment, delivered the opinion of the
Court, that the objeßion againft the plaintiff's re-
covering mutt fucceed. He obferved that the rule
eftablithed in Dumpor's cafe bad always been con-
fidered as good law, and that it was not in his
power as a Judge to gratify his own inclinations,
and overturn the doßrine that had been uniform-
ly aged upon. He laid, conditions of this fort had
always been viewed with a jealous eye by Courts
of Juftice, inalmuch as they went to defeat vetted
interefts, and to extend forfeitures. They there-
fore had been always conftrued ftriftly. In this
cafe, there was no expref condition not to plough
up the parlor. land, Inch a condition being only to
be implied from the terms of the leafe giving li-
cence to the leffee to lett the pafture land to be
depaltured only. But thefs conditions, to a breach
of which a forfeiture attached, were not, he Paid,
to be extended by implication or cot:1401;nm
The rule in Dumpoes cafe, therefore, aridly ap•
plied, and the confequence was, that the plaintiff
could not maintain this affirm.

By this decition, the important rule of law, that
a licence to let a pan of dernifed premifes wholly
deftroys a reftrialve condition againft alienating,
and operates as a licence to let the refidue, is ful-
ly eftablifheck

A few days ago, a poor man at Chenlky, died
of a locked jaw; in the molt excruciating agony,
occalioned by cutting a corn. which had been
teoublefome, rather too dole ; in confequence of
which, be was inn:lndy fei zed with filch acute pain,
as to prevent him from putting his foot to the
ground, and expired as abov: dcfcribed, three
days after.
