(Before Mr 0, A. Wmy.S.M.) Cmti Oases. — D. Miller and Co. v Mfctthcw, £3 Is 3d 5 D. Thomas v J. W. Boucher £7 18s 7d—judgment in each ove by default—Spencer v Curd, £99 17b 6d. Mr Purnell appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Wilding for defendant. The claim was made up of damages alleged to have been sustained by the alleged non-fulfil ment! on the part) of defendant of the conditions of lease of a piece of land rented by defendant from plaintiff. £25 had been paid into Court. Mr Wilding took exception to the claim, inasmuch as it had been amended since the issue of the summons, and largely increased. He said the £25 for rent had been tendered by defendant but a receipt waa refused. It was not denied that it was due, bub in consequence of the refuaul of a receipt ifa was paid into Court. His Worship allowed ihe amendment, and the case proceeded.—Matthew Spencer said he was the owner of 59£ acres of land, in the Forks district, which he leased to defendant Curd for five years. The lease expired on May 3 last. Witness resided on land adjoin* ing, and inspected the land leased when defendant left. The lease provided for the land being lett in good order, and laid down in good English grass. It was not at all in good condition, and only eight acres had been laid down in grass. From thia pare a crop of grain had been taken off last season. A week before Curd gave up possession witness saw him and in answer tc his request to allow bia stacks to remain witness said they could remain for twelve months if he liked, if the conditions of the lease were ful filled. Said to Curd that the land had not been sown down in grass, and Curd said it ■ had, that 41b of clover to the acre had been put in which he had bought from several places and had com* of his own. Told him that he had not put down any. It had been ku excellent season for grass, bub there was j ao grass there It would cost 16s an acre to lay the land down properly. If the land were laid down now it would take four months before stock eould be put on it. Had an offer from Mr Upton to lease the grass had it been there. The condition as to keep' ing the race clear and in good order had not been fulfilled, and it was choked with weeds, and had been allowed to oveiflow and flood the t neighbor's land. There were nine teen chains of the raoe. The fences were also iu a bad state, the wires on the ground and the stakes faulty, and were rotten now. Cattle simply walked through the fence. The goree fence had in part never been cut at all, and in parts out in a very bad way. Gorse was spreading over the land. To put the fences in order—goree aihd wire—would cost about £10, which would be a reasonable sum. £50 a year was » reasonable rent for the land: He could have pot £60. There was an arrange ment for arbitration as to damages, and witness Appointed Mr Henry Ford and de dendant Appointed Mr W. W. White. Before witness issued a summons defendant had not offered to pay the rent. On May 12 offered defendant a receipt, but Curd would nob lake ib unless it was a complete dis charge. By Mr Wilding—Had nob had & tenant before, and this was the last. Bought the land from Mr Bullock, bub ib was Me Morton's land. The land was covered with gorse, broom and niggerheads, whioh he cleared, and had a good crop of turnips. Had received in rent £250 which was nearly the fee-simple. Tho land was in far worse condition than when Card wenb on it. Some of the land was excnUonally good land* bub the section was patchy, The raoe was dry sometimes. Sheep caused shingle to geb into it, and it was also ploughed into it, bat the weeds were there because they had not been cleared. On the day he took possession he allowed 520 sheep and sixteen head of cattle to go on the land, ihe oattle remaining there for two days, but the sheep were there yet. The gates were not closed 1. There was a little white clover growing on the land in patches, but no red clover and no grass, and very little for sheep to eat. Was on the ground the other day with Mr Thomas and Mr Fooks, but they did not point cut to witness any roots of red olover, and did not tell him that the way to ruin the grass was to put stock on it at that time. Did not point out to Curd where to put the boundary fence, but suggested to him to get sap stakes as they would last three years, by which time the gorse he should nave planted would have made a good live fence. By Mr Parnell-Curd planted no torse, and placed the fence where he chose. Ihe fence between Curd's leasehold and witness's own land was so dilapidated that that ehe sheep gob through, and when Card left, witness left; the gates open so that the sheep should come and go.—Henry Ford said aa arrangement had been made by which he and Mr White were to inspect the land, Had gone himself on May Bto look at the land, having the lease wibh him. Ib was raining when they wenb to gee Mr White, so they did nob go together. The land was nob in good order and condition; and only about nine acres had been sown. v About fifty acres would require to be sown. The fences j?era generally 'out of order, and the Ijye iences did not appear to hav,e been trimmed for two or three years. The race had nob been cleaned out at Ml* There was nob much gorse about the paddock, but there was too. much twitch. He estimated the oost of putting the land in compliance with the conditions of the lease would be about £59. By Mr Wilding—lt would not be fair treatment bo put stock on clover .that was jusfe coming through bub their was more coming through when he wenb on May 8. The season was exceptionally good, and if the land had been sown the grass would have shown, Was quite satisfied none had been sown: (Lafb sitting.)
