ie from the negligent or dishonest occupier alone, that 
“ any thing is to be apprehended ; and, could the present 
il tedious and expensive course necessary to eject the tenant , 
i( not complying with the conditions of this agreement , he 
“ altered , and the proceedings be conducted in a more sum - 
mary way —perhaps by a verdict of twelve neighbours, 
“ before an adjoining justice—this difficulty might be 
{( wholly removed. Those misunderstandings also, 
which arise where nothing dishonest is intended by 
<c either party, would be greatly diminished, were the 
“ simple language of common conversation introduced, 
“ instead of the present circuitous and intricate language 
“ of the law. The difficult}^ and trouble of framing 
leases adapted to the peculiar circumstances of each 
ii farm, would not, perhaps, be found so great, as at first 
te sight they may appear to be : one form, drawn up by 
i( a person well acquainted with the business of a 
* c neighbourhood, might, with little variation, serve 
u a considerable district. The principal source of this 
(i objection seems to be this, that leases are in general 
iC drawn up by professional gentlemen, who, having but 
<( few opportunities of more minute information, are 
u under the necessity of copying from those who have 
“ gone before them.”, 
“ As no sufficient proof has been yet adduced, that 
* e fallowing is not necessary to keeping the land in good 
tf condition, the clause obliging the tenant to fallow a 
* l due proportion is a necessary one. To fix a rotation 
u of crops,must subject the tenant to inconvenience and 
“ loss. The number of years for which convertible land 
shall be grazed may be fixed with more precision ; but, 
<{ even this,from the uncertainty of seasons,may subject 
the occupier to injury,”—d/r. Pomeroy .
