DOUBLE RENT. If a tenant has received a written notice, and he refuse to
quit, after such notice has been regularly served, and will not give
possession at the time required, he is liable to pay at the rate of
double the annual value of the land or tenement so detained, for so long
time as the same are detained in his possession, and the payment may be
recovered by action of debt. Or if the tenant shall give notice of his
intention to quit the premises, and do not deliver up possession
according to such notice, he is liable to the payment of double rent, as
in the other case.--The following is the form of a notice to a tenant to
quit, or to pay double rent. 'Mr. A. B. I hereby give you notice to
deliver up possession and quit, on or before next Michaelmas day, the
house and premises which you now hold of me, situate in the parish of
------inthe county of ------: and in default of your compliance
therewith, I do and will insist on your paying me for the same, the
yearly rent of ------ being double the annual rent, for such time as you
shall detain the key, and keep possession, over the said notice. Witness
my hand this day of ------ 182-. C. D. Landlord of the said premises.
Witness E. F.'--If, after notice of double rent be expired, a single
rent is accepted, such acceptance will prevent the penalty, until notice
is again given, and the time expired.
DOWN. This valuable part of goose coating, which contributes so much to
the comfort and even the luxury of life, comes to maturity when it
begins to fall off of itself; and if removed too soon, it is liable to
be attacked by worms. Lean geese furnish more than those that are fat,
and the down is more valuable. Neither the feathers nor the down of
geese which have been dead some time are fit for use: they generally
smell bad, and become matted. None but what is plucked from living
geese, or which have just been killed, ought to be exhibited for sale;
and in this case the down should be plucked soon, or before the geese
are entirely cold.
DRAUGHT FOR A COUGH. Beat a fresh-laid egg, and mix it with a quarter of
a pint of new milk warmed, but do not heat it after the egg is put in.
Add a large spoonful of capillaire, the same of rose water, and a little
nutmeg scraped. Take it the first and last thing, and it will be found a
fine soft draught for those who are weakly, or have a cold.--Another
remedy. Take a handful of horehound, a handful of rue, a handful of
hyssop, and the same quantity of ground ivy and of tormentil, with a
small quantity of long plantain, pennyroyal, and five finger. Boil them
in four quarts of water till reduced to two quarts. Strain it off, then
add two pounds of loaf sugar; simmer it a little, add a quart of brandy
and bottle it for use. A wine glassful of this to be taken occasionally.
