Museum of Fine Arts, Appellee, v. John B. Dicus, Appellant.
    Gen. No. 22,901.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Landlord and tenant, § 464
      
       — when tender of rent insufficient to prevent forfeiture of lease. A tender of a less amount than is actually due and owing by a tenant will not prevent a forfeiture of the lease for failure to pay rent, even though the tenant promises to pay the balance of the rent within a short time thereafter.
    2. Corporations — when affidavit of defense is insufficient to question corporation’s right to Tyring action. In an action of forcible entry and detainer by a foreign corporation as landlord to recover possession of premises from a tenant, held that an affidavit of defense which contained no averment that the plaintiff was organized for pecuniary profit, and did not negative the fact that plaintiff came within the exceptions of the act regulating the admission of foreign corporations for profit to do business in the State, Hurd’s Rev. St. ch. 32 (J. & A. K 2418 et seq.), was insufficient to question plaintiff’s right to bring the action.
    
      Appeal from the Municipal C.ourt of Chicago; the Hon. Edmund K. Jabecki, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1916.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed October 9, 1917.
