Reddick & Webster v. Hutchinson.
    Where the owner of land puts another in possession thereof under a parol contract to allow the latter to purchase it at a given price and pay for it in annual installments, but on condition that if he was not able to pay for the land he should pay as rent for the same each year he occupied it ten per cent, of the price agreed upon and the taxes on the land, and the occupant of the land failed for two years to make any payment to the owner, either as purchase money or as rent, the relation of landlord and tenant existed between the parties as to the second year’s occupation, and a distress warrant sued out by the landlord for the rent due ■ under the contract for that year had, as to the tenant’s crop of that year, priority over a general judgment of older date against the tenant.
