Landlords eIaisas.
J. c. BENNETT, Ese.
Sir-Whle the subject Of rents &c, is under cxa-
mination, wish to inquire { any good reason can b.
given for allowing Landlord claims for rent to have
preference over all other claims This priority Of
claim is great inducement to forestaers in houses
to hire every thing they lay their hands upon, be-
cause they consider that with landlords warrant
in their hand, they can clear the house at any time
and get their rent--but if the claim fer rent had nc
preference over other claims the landlord weud hsvs
the same interest in sustaining the tenant that othe
creditors have and he would not then be likely TO ash
| a rent which he knew tenant could not pay. i
this priority of claim and the unconstitutional law
prohibiting the sale Of meats in shops, were abolish
| ell, and we could get Common Council who would
go to work with energy, to supply the city with wa
ter think we should stand some chance TO live on
| day out. Yours truly, A.
| p. s. As the landlords have had the preference $,
long don't know but il would be about right to eav
them 10 be last paid for few years to come, thougl
