ENGLAND WILL NEVER BE FARMED 

 AS IT OUGHT TO BE, UNTIL WE HAVE 

 A TENANT-RIGHT BY LAW. 



Sir,-— The old adage says, "Out of evil cometh goodj" 

 and the case of Mr. Breedon Everard, of Groby Hall, Leices- 

 tershire, will open the ears and eyes of thousands of farmers 

 in Great Britain, and cause them to think for themselves, and 

 not to lay out their money so freely as Mr. Everard has done, 

 upon the estates of others, without tenant-right, alias justice 

 for unexhausted improvements made on the farm by the tenant. 

 It is plain Mr. Everard has ruined himself by improving the 

 estate of a noble lord, after which he is turned out by his 

 lordship without stating any reason why, or allowing him com- 

 pensation for the vaat improvements made on the farm. Iu 

 the Mark Lane Ea'pvess of the 26th October, it was stated 

 that Mr. Everard " had, in fact, in a space of five years, laid 

 out .£5,000 in improving a farm of something over 300 acres." 

 The above treatment of the noble lord to his diligent and ad- 

 mirable tenant, in the great age of discovery and improvement 

 is moustrous : puch a feudal system must soon either be ended 

 or mended. The tide of reason long delayed, long checked 

 and obstructed, has neverthtless set in, in North Lincolnshire, 

 in the shape of tenant-right, which is wise, just, reasonable 

 and profitable, but more so to the landlord than the tenant. 

 Lincoln Heath, and the Lincolnshire wolds, for instance— a 

 century back, rabbit warrens and wildernesses the prmcipal 

 part of them~what do they produce now under tenant-right? 

 V\^hy great crops of corn, clover, and turnips, and some of the 

 heaviest-wooUed sheep in the kingdom. The great improve- 

 ment of the said vvdd laiid under tenant-right is a tiiie example 

 to all the world. I hope the Groby Hall case will be the 

 means of causing a tenant-right to become tlie law of the 

 land to protect such useful and ornamental tenants as Mr. 

 Everard. SAMUliL ArnsbY,
