Judge Melvin, who is holding court in
Hancock county, West Virginia, rem
dered decision on last Monday which
is of more Than usual interest TO West
Virginia farmers. 1t was in the case of
Campbell va. Trusx, where the landlord
sued for possession Of the sway grow
ing" crops OF the tenant, who so~ed his
grain IN the fall and harvested 1t the fol-
loving summer, though his lease on the
farm expired on April lst prior to the
harvest. The position taken by
the attorneys ior the defendant,
Messrs Donehue and Trainer, was:
That as no stipulation appeared
in the lease 10 TIE effect that the sway
growing" crops were TO revert to the
landlord as soon rs the premises were
vacated by the tenant, the ruling custom
in the vicinity should govern, and az the
custom there was to let the tenant take
possession of the "way growing" crop,
the said crop should bslong to the tenant.
The ceurt decided IN favor OF the de-
fendsnt. As it Is the first case, we are
informed, that is in this shape, that has
been adjudicsted in your State, 1t may
go up to the higher court.
