LODOER

The Revisit's. Barrister said he had been looking through
the list of claimants, and there were several observations
which Le wished to make. He found that in Chelsea the
revising barrister bad di-allowed a claim similar to that of
Allen, who occupied a room in the house of Isis father,
which was allowed in this court on Friday. It was a
difficult question, and he thought that neither of these
contradictory decisions could be mid to be contrary to the
act. It seemed to him, therefore, that if a man positively
swore that his son occupied one room in his house, of
es kith lie had the sole and exclusive use. and could take
away the key, that that person was a lodger under
the act, and that his claim must be allowed.
Then suppose this case : on unmarried man
occupied a room. and a married couple occupied other
rooms on the same floor, and he paid them a small sum
to take his meals with them, he should not say that that
invalidated the claim. He should adhere to his decision,
but as the matter was full of difficulty, he should be glad
to grant a case for the decision of a superior court.
Mr. Nokes—Of course lie must be u tenant. If a man
came and said he had the sole occupation of a bedroom
but paid no rent, you would not allow his claim.
The Revising I.6,rrister—No ; because in such a case
the relation of landlord and tenant would not exist. As,
however, this will offer great facilities for getting up ficti-
tious claims, every case must be thoroughly sifted. He
fOllllll that the date in most of the declarations was printed,
and in all such cases the date was the Ist of August. He
should require evidence that the declanstiou was signed on
or after the Ist of August.
John Davies claimed iu respect of the occupation of a
room in Cambridge-street. He did not appear. but a wit-
ness stated that it was a back room furnished, for which
the claimant. paid ss. a week.
The Revising Barrister said he did not think that suffi-
cient, but en its being stated that evidence could be ad-
duced that rooms of that clam were worth Rd. a year un-
furnished, he directed the case to stand over.
Thomas Doughty, claiming in respect of lodgings, IR,
Gregory-street, was objected on the ground that lie occu-
pied the whole house.
A witness stated that the landlord paid the rates, but
did not live in the house. . . .

The Revising Barrister said the claimant was not a
lodger, but the occupant of the whole town, and if he
were rated as he ought to be he would he entitled to he
placed on the lint as a householder.
The vlidin was disallowed.
