Mr. Shaw of Tamworth appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hugo Young, (instructed by Messrs. Barlow, Smith and Pinsent) for the defendant. Mr. Shaw said that plaintiff’s claim was for £83 19s, but credit was given for £60 rent due and a variety of items which reduced the amount to the sum sued for: Plaintiff was a tenant of Mr. Ryland, of Wishaw, and gave notice to quit on 25^th March last. He did leave, and the question of the value of the tenant right was referred to two referees, one appointed by the landlord the other by the tenant. Plaintiff’s contention was that the referees agreed between them that the value of the tenant right to be paid to the plaintiff was £83 19s. Mr. Young: I say they did not agree, and that is the point. … Evidence for the plaintiff was called and his Honour found that there was nothing proved which would bind the defendant to accept the £83 19s: Verdict for defendant.
