A FARMER'S HEAVY LOSSES. A distressing illustration of the effects of the disas- trous results of the recent drought in Essex came be. fore the Romford magistrates. Mr Skinner, a farmer in the neighbouring pariah of H Jrnchnrch. was sued for non-payment of poor ratea amounting to .£15. He expressed his willingness to I sy. He said that in con sequence of the weather this year all his early crops--pess, hay, and clover-aad failed, and he had only bay forty-five acres of potatoes to depend up. n for paying the rent, and rat *s, and expenses of tie farm. He bad been anahle to pay his rent, and hit landlord had in conseqnecce distrained upon his pro- duce, the result being tbafc produce, &c.. to the value J8500 had been sold for R6 1. On the 20th of Septem- ber he had been again unable to meet his landlord, who refused to give him any time, and the next day a second distraint was levied. On that oocasion his crop of potatoes, which had cost X3 per acre for seed and over £ 8 for sowing, were sold at the rate of 15s. per acre. He had lest £ 1,000 at th? farm. The mag- istrates remarked that it was a aad case, and ordered the proceedings to be staffed for six weeks, the defen- dant s'attng that he believed he had a tenant who wonld take the farm off his hands.
