His Honour gave judgment in this case. In 1788 a person,
through whom the plaintiff claimed, sold a piece otlead for
• perpetual rest charge of 41. a year, with the usual powers:
of distress and entry in case the rent abuse should remain
unpaid. The purchaser erected houses on the land,
and in 1822 sold them on consideration of re-
ceiving a perpetual rent charge of 401. • year, the
premises remaining subject to the prior rent charge of
41. Subsequently the property was agent sold, subject to
the two rent charges. The defendant is the owner of the
rent charge of 401. The houses became very much dila-
pidated, and the plaintiff's rent charges tell into arrest,
and, therefore, not being able to discern who was the
owner of the property he took possession of it, but by
reason of the state in which the houses were, be got no-
thing by the possession. He then laid oat • sum of
money on the houses to put them in repair, and was thus
enabled to let them. The rents had been suMcient to repay
the rrrrr re of his rent charge, but not to repay him the
sum he had expended on the property. In this state of
things defendant brought an action of ejectment against
him, upon which he filed his bill, praying for an injunction
to restrain the; action at law, midi for a declaration that he
was entitled to be repaid the sums be had Isidore in putting
the house in tenantable repair. His Honour said plaintiff bad
mistaken his position, and that he had not the right •
mortgagee in possession bad to be repaid moneys he had
expended in repairs sod permanent improvements; but, as'
the owner of a rent-charge, he had merely the right of
entry and distress. He mast therefore dismiss the bill.
Mr. R. Palmer, who appeared for defendant, applied for
tors.

His Honour said it was a bud ease, but, as a matter of
right, defendant was entitled to them, iaasnah as plain-
tiff bad failad to make out his ease.
