Plaintiff, adduced the Steward of Sir J. Cuellturs
who proved Ow paytneot of rent by the Defendant,
and a notice to ;dim to quit at. Candlemas. On kis
cross.exqpitiation, however, he was obliged toad. ..
wit the usage of that part of the country to be, .
that the entry I. the grounds "should' take plane et
Candlemas, and to the houses at May Day. The .
Learned Judge, therefore, held that the notice to
quit in this case was not good. *Mr. Serjeant Cockle .
then gate in evidenee.an agreement between Sir
Lionel Coppice, a predecessor of Sir Joseph, and
ewenty-eitht tenants, among whom was the De.
fendant, y which Sir Lionel let to them their `re.

this evidence tbo.Jury gave a verdict for the .Plalu.
tiff. This verdict,' however, the Learned Counsel
contended could not stale!. On examining the-deed •
on which the verdict was .founded, it appeared to be
an agreement between twenty-eight different per-

Of them bargaining fur a separate and distinct con.
eideration, wheteas (here was only one stamp un
the deed, applicable to the whole 28 separate trans-
actions. .
Lord ELLvattonoocat asked if the stamp was
placed opposite to any particular name, and if that
mime was the Defendant's? .
I. Mr. Topetivo answered, that it was not, .but ap. .
plied to the agreement generally.

a rule obtained against the Defendant in this case,
for au nttachnient fur non-payment of nvwey be.
'longing to the Cumpany in the Defendaet's hands,
"agreeably to an award. The Plaintiffs in this case
were a Company incorporated, hi believed, by '
Art of Parliament. Agaiaet a Corporation no at-
tachment for non-payment of money Gould issue;
.but if the present Defendant, or any person else had,
or supposed he had any claim against such a Com.
pany, he must proceed to make it effectual by ac.
Ilion at law. • If such then was the only mode of
proceeding which the Defendant could have bad
against the present • Plaintiffs, he conceived that
it followed, as a matter of course, that the Plaintiffs
could be in no better case when making a claim
against the Defendant, than the Defendant would
have been had be been in their place, and were nom
bringing forward a demantagaiust tbetn.

Lord ELLERIOROUOR desired. that, before the

fendant to his costs. The words laid in the deeds.
ration were, that the Defendant had said, that the
Plaintiff was a villain, and haul roliked the widow,
of 15001. ; and in another count, that he had
-cheated the widow. The•Piaintirs witness proved •
the words, as to robbing the widow, but said 'no: •
thing as to the 15001., and stated.- that he under.
.stood them to refer to•the neglect-or refusal of the
'Plaintiff to render an account, as by ought to
