SECONDARIES'_(THIS DAY.)

TURNER V. GRAHAM.
The plaintiff and defendant in this case are both dead,
and the action was brought by the representatives
of the plaintiff against the executor of the defendant,
for use and occupation of certain premises situate at
Westham, in Sussex. In appeared that in the year 1821, a
lease was executed between the plaintiff and defendant, whereby
the plaintiff devised certain premises to the defendant at the
yearly rent of 136/. A clause was introduced into this
lease, providing that it should be renewable every seven or
fourteen 3 ears, upon sufficient notice being given. In the
year 1835 the lease expired, and was not again renewed, but
the defendant continued in occupation of the premises, and
therefore this action was brought, not upon the lease, but for
the use and occupation of the premises, as by a tenant at
will. On the death of the parties a suit was instituted
in the Court of Chancery with respect to the plaintiff's pro-
perty, and the Court directed the present action to be brought.
Under the Chancery suit a receiver was appointed by the
Court for all moneys, rents, &c., belonging and due to ae
plaintiff. '1 his was attempted to be proved in the
course of the trial, but the appointment was not pro-
duced , therefore the Learned Secondary held that he cou'd only
look upon this person in the light of an agent of the plaintiff for
the receipt of rents. The acknowledgement by this person of
rents up to the year 1839, from the defendant, was put in, and
the question for the jury to decide was simply, whether they
believed the defendant to have been in possession of the pre-
.mises since 1839, up to the time of his death in 1841, and if so,
their verdict must be for the amount of rent due since that time.
Evidence having been .shown of the receiver under the
Chancery suit having receivext .tenta from the defendant up to
1839, the Jury returned a-vvrctiot (Fe-lbw plaint Hll%—thasnsoper, 2253

are surprised at its being illowed to remain a disgrace to the
City. The inconvenience is.-14Lby all parties, from the Judge
on the Bench down to the spectator. Many costermongers
would be ashamed to acknowledge it for their counting-house.
We certainly do hope soon to see some more commodious place
provided which will be worthy of the name of a Law Court.
