LANDLORD AND TsNANr-DecisioR in an
tJec'ment Cdse.-A few days since a case came
for Justice Plant involving the question
whether person can be made a tenant with
out his own consent. One John Gurus sued
out summons against Isaac Shorter 10 re-
cover possession OF a tenement purchased by
Curtis al sale under a deed OF trust given
by Shorter. 1t appeared in evidence that
shorter never paid rent to Curtis, nor In any
manner recognized him his landlord, but
| claimed he was the owner of the premises
Mr.. HIne, counsel for the defendant, argued
/ that the defendant could not be elected in
| that form Of action by the plaintiff because the
relation OF landlord and tenant did not exis,
between them, nor between him and any one
Que under whom the plaintiff claimed. Mr.
| Norris, counsel for plaintiff, contended tna,
the ordinary seven days summons was the
proper writ in the case, because the act OF
Congress, OF July 8, 1864, expressly provided
that "the person entitled TO the possession of
tsnements might sue out the writ against any
one who detained them from him. Justice
r. delivered decision this morning that
there was no proof that Isaac Shorter had ever
aitorned 10 the party as tenant, and the suit
should have been brought in the Supreme
I'D har tha x~SI
and tenant has never existed between the
parties, therefore judgment is given for pos.
session, the plaintiff to pay costs Of suit.
