Controversy with Landlord 
I leased two farms in new York State 
from the same landlord by a verbal con¬ 
tract. When I saw this man about the 
farm, I asked him how many head of 
cattle and other stock he had. He said 
only two cows. The other farm is a half- 
mile from the one I live on. I did not go 
down to see it, taking hi? word for it. 
When I moved on the farm 1 found out 
that he had eight- head of young cattle and 
13 head of sheep down at the other place. 
He has sold the wool and lambs from 
these sheep, and I got. no money from 
them. He has pastured sheep and cattle, 
but never paid me any money for half of 
pasture. These farms are worked ou 
shares. Can I sue him for the price of 
half of pasture? I expected to rent this 
pasture out to the neighbors. J. n. c. 
New York. 
When you found that your landlord 
was not living up to his contract in re¬ 
gard to the number of stock, it would have 
been advisable for you to take the matter 
up with him at once. You could tlieu 
have told him if he left the stock you 
would expect rent for the pasture, and 
would have been in a better position to 
recover than you are now. Of course, you 
can sue him now. but the result, is some¬ 
what problematical. You had better con¬ 
sider carefully whether there is any 
money to be made by the lawsuit before 
you commence action. n. t.
