LANDLORD AND TExANr.---.fhe following is por-
ton Of the laws with relation TO landlord and ten
ant now in force In this District and which We
take from Col M. Thompson's abstract
BY the Statute, Anne, Chap. IA, which is Of
force in the District OF Columbia, it is provided
that no goods upon any tenement leased shall be
taken by execution unless the party at whose suit
the execution Is sued out shall, before the re-
moval of such goods, pay 70 the landlord Of the
premises, or his bailif, all money due for rent for
the premises, provided that the arrears do not
amount 70 more than one year rent; and In case
the arrears shall exceed one years rent, then the
party At whose suit, &c, paying the landlord, or
his baiiin one years rent may proceed to execute
hisjudgment. psA-E ssa
gcp Forsany kind Of rent due and in arrear. which
Is certain in Its quantity, extent and time Of pay
ment or capable Of being reduced TO certainty, by
calculation, distress may be made, by warrant
from the landlord, directed to the marshal, or any
constable or baliff; such warrant to be accom-
panied by the landlords affidavit of the amount Of
rent due, and the time 1t became due. or what

but only, any, compensation in nature Of rent
the owner cannot distrain for non-payment In
order to sustain the right Of DISTRESS the relation
OF landlord and tenant must be actually completed
and not merely in contemplation there must be
an actual demise, and not a mere agreement for
lease. When on lease, rent is made payable in
repairs, being for q sum certain distress may be
made. Distress for rent will not lie unless there
be an agreement in writing or by parole for a sum
certain, or capable Of being reduced to certainty
by calculation. The landlords right of distress Is
not extinguished BY an unsatisred judgment for
rent. s21R t.s ~ %fA4
Nor does the fact Of taking promissory note
prejudice the landlords right to distran unless
there is an agreement that II shall operate as a
suspension of the right The acceptance Of q bond
for rent, or an order which Is dishonored have
been held not to extnguish the right Of distress,
although receipt in full for the amount Of rent
due was taken. eN 1gsfe ise'tG
A distress for rent cannot be made in the night,
but must be taken in the day time, after sunrise
and before sunset; and distress cannot be made
upon the day in which the rent is PAYABLE, for II
cannot be due until the last moment Of the day.
A distress can only be made upon some portion
of the premises out Of which the rent issues, and
can only be made for rent already due and in arrear
unless there is an agreement that ii may be made
! before the rent is due. ta 9t $50
