e premises for five whole days, after
which it is lawful to sell them. In making the distress, it is necessary
to give the bailiff a written order for that purpose, which the landlord
may do himself without any stamp, only specifying the person's name,
place of abode, and rent in arrears for which the goods and chattels are
to be seized. After this an inventory is to be made of the articles, a
copy of which is to be given to the tenant, accompanied with a notice
that unless the arrears of rent and charges of distress be paid, or the
goods replevied at the expiration of five days from the day of distress,
the said goods will be appraised and sold according to law. If the
landlord chooses to indulge the tenant with a longer time to raise the
money, a memorandum must be taken of the tenant, stating that possession
is lengthened at his request, or the landlord will be liable to an
action for exceeding the time of his original notice.--See TENANTS.

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.
