  One neutron stripping cross sections ($\sigma_{-1n}$) are measured in
$^{9}$Be+$^{159}$Tb system in the energy range E$_{cm}$/V$_{B}$ $\sim$ 0.79 -
1.24 using offline gamma counting technique. The CRC model calculations
including the ground state and the 2$^{+}$ resonance state of $^{8}$Be, carried
out using the FRESCO code, give a reasonable description of the measured data.
In addition, comparisons of reduced 1n-stripping cross sections- $\sigma_{red}$
with $^{9}$Be for different target nuclei (A $\sim$150-200), and $\sigma_{red}$
for $^{9}$Be, $^{6}$Li with $^{159}$Tb target are presented. While no strong
target dependence is observed with $^{9}$Be projectile,
$\sigma_{red}$($^{9}$Be) is significantly larger than that for $^{6}$Li, which
is consistent with the Q-value for transfer reactions and breakup threshold
energy of projectiles.
