unprecedented, and shows the great esteem in which he is held in England. even in long lenges, the amount of rent was stated at so much per month. He did not doubt, nor would it be contested, that the payments for the route were made quarterly up to January this year, and the present olsion was for the three months subsequent to it. The defendant romained on the pre- mises for the entire year, ie, up to 30th April 1876, and paid the rents regularly every quarter. After the expiration of the year, the Company continued to occupy the house until the 26th February 1877. Now when the lease of one year was up, it was competent to the defendants to have given up the premises and they could have left without giving any notice whatever. But they continued the tenancy after the ex- piration, and the rule, in such a case was that the tenancy was regarded as from year to year, ospecially when the mode of pay- ment of rent quarterly was continued in the same way. The tananoy having been ex- tended from year to year, the defendant was bound to give six months' notice, although, only three months' notice was sometimes given. In the beginning of this year the de- fendant paid the rent for the quarter ending 31st January, and left on the 28th Februa. ry, contending that he was bound only to give one month's notice, and this month's rent (February's) was paid into Court, but this the plaintiffs declined. Mr Brereton contended that the defendant was a yearly texant from the fact of his having given nó notice whatever on the termination of the Fear's lease but continned the occupation without saying word, and was therefore liable for the whole year's rent ending 30th April 1877. Mr Brereton then put in the letter from Mr Byrie to Mr Nicaise, which contained the agreement of one year's tenancy at $180 a month, including taxes. He next addressed himself on the law of the case and cited several authorities. After this he observed that a deal of correspon- dence had taken place with the view of bringing about a settlement; as the offers were not accepted the letters would not bind either party and should not be referred to, because they were written without prejudice. His Lordship asked if any notice to quit was given at all.
Mr Johnson asked permission to oall evid- ence to prove the custom of a monthly tenanoy, his contention being that when the stipulated time of a tenancy expired, the custom of a monthly tenancy revived.
His Lordship thought Mr Johnson was entitled to do this.
The Public Garden escaped better than we should have expected, but the banding is badly damaged by the washing of the waves. The British Consular flagstaff, a hollow iron. mast, completely collapsed, and lies in three pieces. The whole of the Bund and several of the back streets are strewn with leaves and branches of trees; and many tress were completely uprooted. The canvas covering of the roof of Messrs. Siemssen's hong was completely stripped off by the wind, and a good many bricks and tiles were thrown about in other directions; the windows of the Masonic Hall also suffered much damage, one being completely blown in. The glass was blown clean out of the gas lamps on the Hongkew bridge, and in some cases the framework of the lamps was also blown away. The back part of the Settlement being sheltered, suffered comparatively little damage; but in the Shantung zoad we hear several Chinese houses collapsed. At the Cemetery, some trees were uprooted, and fences, &, destroyed. In the Cathedral Compound, two if not more trees were uprooted, and in the Nunking road, near the end of the Honar road, a wall fall, and three or four houses were left in a dangerous condition.
