The following story OF the honorable dealing
Of noble landlord and his tenant lie taken from
3 late English paper. IL all landlords and ten
ants were equally just, how few grievances
would sprirg from the relation:
a farmer called on the late Earl
Fitzwilliam TO represent that his crop Of
wheat bad been seriously injured i'm q
field adjoining n certain wood where his
lordships hotndo had during the winter
frequntly met TO hunt. lie stated that
the young wheat had been 80 cut up and
destroyed that in some parts he Id
not hope for any produce. Well, my
friend said the Earl, Il am aware that
we have frequently met in that field; and
THAT we have done considerable injury ::
and IL you can procure an estimate Of
the loss you have sustained, will repny
you! The farmer replied that. antici-
pating his lordship's consideration and
kindness, be had requested ffiend to
assist him In estimating the damage. and
they thought that as the crop seemed
entirely destroyed, SOL would not more
than repay him. The Earl immediately
gave him the money. As the harvest
approached, however, the wheat grew.
and in those parts OF the field which
were the most tfampled the corn was
strongest and most luxurisnt. The farm
er went again TO his Lordship, and being
