The agent refused to accept a settlement which included the payment by him of the costs of the proceedings forced upon him by his tenant.

"You have had a good holding," said the agent, "with plenty of water and good land.

In this current year two acres of your wheat will pay the whole rent.

You have broken up and sold bit by bit a mill that was on the place; and above all, when Mr.Gladstone made us accept the judicial rents, he told us we might be sure, if we did this, of punctual payment.
That was the one consideration held out to us.

And we are entitled to that!" The tenant being out of his holding, the agent wishes to put another tenant into it.
