for pasture and some for hay. It was testified
by one witness that the defendant also pur
chased some hay. The defendant left the
place on the first of April . , but in the latter end
o f March he removed the manure,-which was
in heaps in. the barn yard. There were about
thirty wagon loads.
James Orr, another witness, testified that
Lewis bought some hay. Witness did nut know

Another witness testified that, he lived with
Lewis in the fill of 1.848. fie testified that all
o f the hay and straw used, were bought.
The cows were-dairy .cows.
The opinion of the Supreme Court was de
livered by Justice I wis, Jan. 23, 1855, as
follows :
This case is chara erized by a circumstance
which, whenever-it curs, whether the result
of inattention or inadvertence, does injustice t 2
the court below, and tends to mislead the tri
bunal of review in its final decision. Every
assignment of error, in the record before us,
consists of a mcsstatement fact in relation to
the charge of the court below. The record
• falsifies the allegations contained in the as
signments of error,-and we 'might, therefore,
very properly affirm the' judgment, because
the Instructions complained of were not in fact
given.
But it appears by the record, that two ques
tions of importance to the agricultural inter
ests of the country have been decided by the
Court of Common Pleas : and we therefore pro
ceed to enquire whether ant error has been com-.
!nutted in their solution.
The court instructed the jury that if
. they
believed "that the defendantwas the tenant
of the plaintiff, and rented the land of hint for
far using putpuses, and the manure' was made
upon the laud in the ordinary course of farm
ing, and was heaped up in the yard, and the
defendant, about the time his lease vasto ex
pire, took the manure (now the subject of con-.
'bent
and hauled it away without the con:.
sent of plaintiff, when there was no , authority
given by'the lease for him to du so, this action
can be sustained, and the plaintiff - will be en
titled to recover the value of the manure .that
was in this manner taken away.
It is implied from the letting of a farm for ag
ricultural perposes, that the tenant will culti
vate the land according to the rules of good
husbandry. This is as much a part, of the
contract as that he shall deliver up possession
at the end of the term, or that he shall do no
waste. If the manure which is made by the
feeding and bedding of his stock' on the premi
ses, according to the usual course of nusbandry
is to' be disposed of and carried to another
farm, it only creates necessity for the P'ur 7
chase of other fertilizing materials, to keep the
laud in good order tier the production of crops.
This must be done at the expense of money in
the purchase, and time and labor in hauling it
from a distance. If every tenant were to adopt
the practice of selling the manure, much time
and labor would be unnecessarily expended in
transporting from place to place ; where, for
all general purposes, the interests of landlord
anti tenant would be lunch better promoted by
the application of the manure to the far in on
which it was made. But a large portion of
f 11 ws are, owned by widows and orphan chil
dren, and are necessarily in the occupancy of
tenants from year to year. These, which
should be under the peculiar protection of the
law, would be most exposed to impoverish
ment. Tenants for short or uncertain periods,
under the temptations of a rule of law which
encourages bad husbandry, would be led into
practices (each in sell protection,) which no
o ne would adoptin regard to his own land.
Such a tenant would feel no interest whatever,
in preserving the" fertility of, the soil for the
'benefit of those:who might succeed him. Ile
would be pronipted by the incentive of interest
to strip the hind of everything which the law
permitted him to carry off. The - practice would
become general, and the result would he that
all the farms in the commonwealth under cul
tivation by tenants for years would be impov
erished ; the tenants themselves receiving no
adequate remuneration for their labor, the
landlords no rent for their farms. It is mani
cost that such a course of husbandry would be
injurious to the interests and ruinous alike to
landlords and tenants. •
The justice of this view of the question has
been recognized by enlightened jurists in Eng
land, and in other States of this I:nion. Mr.
Justice Butler laid down the doctrine that
••every tenant where no ar '
existed dispensing with these engtigeinents) is
bound to cultivate his farm in a husbandlike
wanner, and to consume the manure produced
on it. - -This is one engagement that arises out
of the letting, and Which the tenant cannot
iis
pense with unless by special agreement."
This language of Mr. Justice Butler was cited
by Chief Justice Gibbs, in the case of Brown
vs. Cruni, determined in 1315: 1 Marsh. 576.
In Cictinecticut, it has been held that manure
spread upon the land or scattered about a barn
yard, cannot be taken away by the renter :
Parson es. Camp, 11 Conn. 530.
Iu Massachusetts, Chief Justice Shaw, in
• clivering the opinion of the Court, declared
hat "manure made on a farm, occupied by a
enant at will or for years in the ordinary
course of husbandry, consisting of the collec
ions from the stable and barnyard, or of those
with the soil. or other substances, is, •hy usage,
ractice, and the general understanding, so at
ached. and connected with the realty, that in
he absence of any express stipulption on the
sultject, an out-going tenant has no right to
. eznoval, and such removal is a tort for which
he landlord may have redress." The tenant
ias a qualified possession of such manure for
special purpose only ; that is. to be used upon
: farm. The moment he sold it, the act was
n abandonment of the special purpose, and it
fested in the landlord of the freehold, and the
coon of trespass lies for realm/ :r • ' •

In the State of Maine. Chief Justice Mellen
declared that the claim of a tenant to remove
the manure upon the premises ••eorn if made
b y hi s own cattle with his own fodder, had no
foundation in Justice or reason, and such a
claim the laws of the land cannot sanction :"
La , zsel rs. Reed, G Greenleaf 222.

" There are other authorities upon the goes- .
tion but enough has been said to show that
the charge of the - court - below - Was cm reset, - so
far as it relates to the manure made from the
produce of the far:n.
The-doctrine - that - th - e - manoreTgowith — t
land. is of course confined- to farms which are
let for agricultural purposes; told the case be
fore-us-is --one-of-tha t—character, in -- which - the

One of the witnesses, however, testified that
the, tenant "bought na me hay'-- the witness did
n o t, k no w h ow much—and Npase Ifruiti to feed
his horses and, cows. Lie fed the horses on the
grain that was boUght." upon this evidence
the court was requested to instruct the jury
. "that if the defendant spread upon the place.
or' left behind him as much manure_ as the
farm would reasonably produce itself, the ex
cess belongs to hint and nut to the landlord."
This construction the court refused to give,
because there was no evidence of the facts thus
supposed to ciist.• in this the court was per
fectly correct.
Nothing can more justly impair confidence.
in the administration of justice than the prac
tice of encouraging or even permittrnn a jury
to find facts of 'which there is no evidence.—
To ask a jury to separate the manure which
was made on the premises and to assign one
portion to the tenant upon the ground that his
horses and cows had .'suite /say," grain"
not. raised onthe prentiseS. without specifying
how much of either, or showing how much' of
the grain, hay and straw raised on the farm
had 'been supplied them for litter and food,
would be asking a verdict without evidence.
"some" is a term too uncertain in its
b
cation to sustain a verdict fur any dc:l lune
amount. 'lt may mean a- single - Ounce, or ten
thousand tons—a single quart, or twenty thou
sand bushels.
But where a fartn is let for agricultural pur
poses, the tenant-cannot justify the removal of
any portion of the manure made on the prem
ises, by occasionally employing his teams in
business not connected with the cultivation of
the soil, and supplying'them in part with hay
and grain purchased front others, so long as
the. manure thus made is commingled with
that from the produce of the farm. It, is prob
able that in such a case, the .land would lose
as munch during the absence of the teams on
the road, as it would gain by the foreign ad
mixture.
lie that as it may. it is certain that the ten
ant, by his own act, has rendered it iuspussi
ble• to ascertain the extent of his ►ight.
And the doctrine of co, fushm. of goods prop
erly applies to his claim. Pophaua's ilep. 38

ATTEMPT TO THROW A RAILROAD TRAIN orr
Tub; TltAc.b7..—A uiabolical 'attempt was made
on .Friday night, to throw the express train
of the Ohio and Peniniylvania Railroad off the
track near Alliance. Some person or persons,
unknown, placed across the track a bar of
railroad iron. The train came along about
nine o'clock, and the cow-catcher s!ruck the
iron ; a heavy jar was experienced by the pas
sengers in the cars, but tbrtunately the con
cussion was not sufficient to throw the train
off. and no one was injured. The connecting
rod of the engine was broken, and the train
was detained about an hour in consequence.
Somebody will have to be hung for this busi
ness yet.
Tta; MtssiNG .. , EitaKttrf.—Over two weeks
have now elapsed since Mr. Winchester as
cended in a balloon at Norwalk. Huron county,,
Ohio, and no tidings of his fate have been re
ceived. There cannot be much doubt of his
loss. Most.probably he descended in the lake
and perished. His family reside at Milan,
Ohio. and their anxiety and distress can easily
be imagined. Their only hope is that he has
been wafted across the lake. and has descend-.
ed in some out of'the way place in Canada.
