At the close of plaintiffs testimony the defendants moved for a compulsory non suit, which was granted at the afternoon session and mo- tion made te take it off by the plaintiff.

Hess va. James Peters and Emanuel Peters, name of Emanuel Peters was stricken off This case is brought to recover for some hay and straw and the facts as developed are about as follows : James Peters was the tenant on the farm of a Mrs. Fisher in Harris township for some years under a lease which provided that the tenant was not to remove any hay or straw from the premises and sometime in November 1001 Mm, Fisher sold the farm to the plaintiff, but before doing so both parties inquired of the tenant what amount of hay he had brought to the place when he moved thers, and as plaintiff alleges were informed four loads of hay, while the defendant alleges he brought there six loads of hay and some cornfodder and straw. In the spring of 1902 the defendant moved from the prem- ! plaintiffs by the defendants. Before the jury were sworn the | ises and took away the amount of hay and straw he took to the place, whereupon the plaintiff had a writ of replevin issued and had the hay and straw replevied and the defendant gave bond to the sheriff and re- tained the property and this action is to recover the value of the same.
