    ERROR to the Circuit Court of Morgan.
    Tried before tbe Hon. L. P. Walker.
    This was an action, (commenced by attachment) on a promissory note executed by Evans to Bell, purporting to have been given “ for tbe rent of land.” On tbe trial, tbe defendant offered to prove “ that after be bad passed into tbe possession of the land, for the rent of which the note was given, the plaintiff, upon being applied to by the defendant’s overseer to repair the fencing around said land, said that it was his (plaintiff’s) business to repair the fencing, but that he would take his own time for doing so; and that in consequence of the fencing not having been repaired, the crop planted on said land by defendant was damaged by the breaking in of stock.” The evidence was rejected by the court, to which the defendant excepted. There was a verdict for the plaintiff, and thereupon judgment was rendered against the defendant and his surety on the replevy bond.
    R. C. Briceell, for plaintiff in error.
    D. C. Humphreys, for defendant.
