court-house to be cleared, and the accused were acquitted.

[40] In case of replevin, the valuation of the stock or crop seized is
left to the _tenant himself_, so that sometimes he may value stock worth
50s. at only 20s., and they _must_ be restored to him, on giving
security for what he sets them down as worth. The landlord cannot
interfere.
[41] The law never allows the landlord _more_ than the wages paid in the
neighbourhood, in case he is obliged to employ men to save the crop.
[42] A man committed can only be discharged on bail, or by the bills
being ignored by the grand jury.
