— That when the parties came to draw up a written contract they could not agree as to the original terms proposed, the Plaintiff claiming that he was to have one half (1/2) the crop, the Defendant that one fourth (1/4) the crop was first to be delivered to himself as rent for the land and the remainder divided between the contracting parties equally, — that in consequence of this misunderstanding the Plaintiff had ceased work upon the land and claimed damages to the amount of twenty dollars ($20.00) for expenses already incurred by him in preparing the land for planting

The Court therefore orders that the Defendant pay to the Plaintiff the sum of fifteen dollars ($15.00) the same being the value of the labor performed by him, (the Plt'f) on the land of the Defendant.

The Court then adjourned to meet at 10 A.M. Wednesday May 9th 1866.
