Could not say whether he had ever asked Mr. Stewart for a.copy of his agreement or not. Could not say that Mr. Stewaré was harsh. They did their best; and he had no reason to Cumpisin of them. No unprove.sents had been made wpon the Lot at Me. Stewart’s expense. He had promised to fara }OU0 acres of the (ond hinsell ; to take his rents in produce, and 10 build a granary for ts reception ; and he had also prowi- sed 10 burid them a Chane! ; but he had not done any of these things. What was mtended for a glebe is now rewted. They seitied with Mr, Srewart once a year ; sometimes twice, They just pay what they ean, and tike receipts; they have no other setilewents,. Mr. Stewart does not now tak+ acknowledgments of their arrears from them 5 nor require them to sign tie Douks.
