CASE OF FoRcIBLE DErAISER-Before Juo.
II johnson, Esq. Hugh TuOy VS.. John Hogan
Ihls was proceeding TO recover the posses
sion of lots No D. "a and 25 in square No 9a5.
The testimony showed that Hogan rented the
lots from one Henderson, the then owner some
seven years ago, paying him some seventy dol
Of the lots, and that there was no agreement as
to the duration Of the tenancy and that soma
three years afterwards, Henderson admitted
that Hogan was the tenant of the lots and that
Hogan had the lots enclosed and under cuIti-
walton for the last several years, and that a
short time before the action was brought,
Tuoy bought the lots and received a deed from
Henderson, and that after he acquired title TO
the property, he asked Hogan TO surrender the
possession, which he refused.
The counsel for Hogan maintained that TO
sustain the action for forcible detainer, it was
necessary 10 prove that the defendant "unla W.
fully and violently kept possession of the lots
with menaces. force, and arms, and without
the authority Of law" and that as there was no
evidence that any "fOrce, violence menace
had been used on the part Of the defendant,
but simply refusal on his part to quit and
surrender the possession, the action could not
De maintained; and Furthermore that the testi
mony aforesaid. showed the defendant to be
lawfully in possession a yearly tenant and
that being so lawfully in possession, he would
be justified by the law of God and man,
in the employment of just much force
as might be necessary TO enable him to detain
the possession against all the world, until the
determination Of his tenancy by six months
notice, and judgment, founded thereon,
against him for the possession. The Justice
reserved his decision. Mr.. Tuoy for plaintiff,
N. Thompson for Hogan.
