183. A selector rented a farm, and agreed to give his landlord
two-fifths of the produce, but prior to the time of dividing the corn
the selector used 45 bushels. When the general division was made it
was proposed to give to the landlord 18 bushels from the heap in lieu
of the share of the 45 bushels which the tenant had used, and then to
begin and divide the remainder as though none had been used. Would
this method have been correct?
