    Landlord and tenant — hold-over tenant — refusal of court to charge that tenants were liable as “ holdovers ” in event subtenant remained in building without permission of landlord erroneous.
    It was error for the court to refuse to charge in this action by plaintiff landlord, that if the subtenant remained in the premises after expiration of the term and without the permission of the landlord, then the tenants would be liable as “ holdovers,”, and consequently a judgment in favor of the defendants must be reversed.
