mash it with a spoon, add a quarter of a pound of clarified butter, as
many currants picked and washed, two ounces of candied peel cut small,
and a little sugar and brandy. Bake it in teacups, turn them out on a
dish, and pour wine sauce over them.

NOSE BLEEDING. Violent bleeding at the nose may sometimes be prevented
by applying lint dipped in vinegar, or a strong solution of white
vitriol, with fomentations of the temples and forehead made of nitre
dissolved in water. But as bleeding at the nose is often beneficial, it
should not be suddenly stopped.

NOTICE TO QUIT. The usual mode of letting houses is by the year, at a
certain annual rent to be paid quarterly: therefore unless a written
agreement can be produced, to show that the premises were engaged for a
shorter period, the law considers the tenant as entered for one whole
year, provided the rent exceeds forty shillings per annum, and this
consideration must govern the notice to quit. Every tenant who holds
from year to year, which is presumed to be the case in every instance
where proof is not given to the contrary, is entitled to half a year's
notice, which must be given in such a manner that the tenant must quit
the premises at the same quarter day on which he took possession: so
that if his rent commenced at Michaelmas, the notice must be served at
or before Lady-day, that he may quit at Michaelmas. If a tenant come in
after any of the regular quarter days, and pay a certain sum for the
remainder of the quarter, he does not commence annual tenant until the
remainder of the quarter is expired; but if he pay rent for the whole
quarter, he is to be considered as yearly tenant from the commencement
of his rent, and his notice to quit must be regulated accordingly.
Should it happen that the landlord cannot ascertain the precise time
when the tenancy commenced, he may enquire of the tenant, who must be
served with notice to quit at the time he mentions, and must obey the
warning agreeably to his own words, whether it be the true time or not.
If he refuse to give the desired information, the landlord, instead of
'on or before midsummer next,' must give in his notice, 'at the end and
expiration of the current year of your tenancy, which shall expire next
after the end of one half year from the date hereof.' If notice be
given up to a wrong time, or a quarter instead of half a year, such
warning will be sufficient, if the party make no objection at the ti
