tenant at the rate OF Sty dollars gear legal notice in
December 1871 that he would either have 10 give
session OF the house and lot the 25h Of March follow
ing retain it at e!ghy dollars year rent in future MIR.
Woodcock refused keeping the house at the rent demand
ed because he considered IT too gh-ths he said at tEv9
or three different times The property then rented to
other person for Eghtyfue dollars year and Mr. Wood
cock was expected to leave on the 25h OF March then
t0llownS but owing to some alteration OF his mind, chest
known to hmse he informed some of his neghbors about
two weeks previous to the day moving that he a9aa
eaJe he Premises. The person who had rented for the

be the balance standing against him for the last two
years occupation Of the house, and put into hands of
Ia proper officer for execution who when about enter
the house for the purpose of evyng the goods was
refused admittance by Mr.. Woodcock. The business
was then deferred until such time the landlord should
return from the country, which he did the Saturday
following Just this time the person who had witnessed
the notice, given MIR. Woodcock in December 1921 died
