Defendant, therefore, claimed allowance in the rent to compensate for this interference. After a most able speech from Mr. Sergeant Jones in defence, His Lordship summed up the evidence, the jury retired for a short time, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff, for the claim made allowing £10 to defendant. ”

He came in shortly after. I locked the door after him, and bolted it. I also bolted the back door. I was up next morning at seven o'clock, and found the dairy and back door open. I missed the cheese from the dairy. Master came down stairs shortly. ”
