Tuay be interesting. The facts were that the
defendant in court below had been a ten
ami to a succession of landlords on certain
premises now swned by the plaintiff, who
pending bis tenantry purchased the premises.
When the defendant was about to remove,
he insisted on taking away CRATE, and Sc
veral articles, termed in law, fixtures, which
he had put up for his own convenience, un-
less the landlord purchased them--the land
! lord forbid him, bot he removed them not
withstanding leaving ths premises as he found

The inferior Court before which the trial
was beld gave Judgment for the plaintiff,
upon which q certi0rGIt was brought. After
argument, the Superior Court reversed the
judgment oil the couit below, stating in their
decision that the liberal advancement Of an
improved state of society had much ssftened
the old law on this subject: that many fix
lures for the benefit of trade were now re-
movable, which formerly were the property
OF the owner OF the freehold, the same prin
cipIe should how govern the relation OF the
landlord and tenant, as to houses fer resi-
dence, such relation now, partook much
OF the character OF a commercial one, the
owning and renting houses being almost
branch of trade and an extensive one.
In this view Of it, it can hardly be called
an extension Of the law, to say that tenant
who only removes his own property placed
for his own convenience without any in jury
to the landlords premises--is not in the ex
ercise OF lawful aet-a contrary rule, indie
pendent of IFS injustice weuId not benefit
the landlords themselves who are interest

OF their tenants. especially in case ike the
