He generally signs his name Benjamin B. Bussell. I am the owner of ilackreford, in the parish of Llanedern. I let that farm to the pri- soner, and he entered upon it October, 1847. I previously occupied that tiinn myself. He had not to pay me anything as an in-going tenant, but he owed me for the standing crops and other things, making- a total of £ 113. I received part, of this money, and took two bill s of £ 40 each, both of which were dishonoured. I again pressed for payment, and requested him to give me security. He then paid me, in goods and money, the sum of £ 20 gave me his own bill for £ 20, and another, jointly with his brother-in-law, for £ 40, which [bill produced] bears date Feb. 1st, 1843.
