He took no trouble about it, except what he was actually obliged; never even saw it, I believe; and about a year before his death, this Clarkson squatted on it, built a house, married, and took his wife to live there.

Mr.Latour heard of all this by chance, and went to see if it were true.

There, he found the fellow comfortably settled, and expecting nothing less than to be turned out.

The end of the matter, for that time, was, that Clarkson promised to pay some few dollars rent, and was left in possession.

The rent, however, never was paid.
