OUR HoUNG SoLoNs.-At the

day evening, the following question
was discussed 4 tenant rented a
house from a landlord for period of |
two wears, contracting to keep the in
ld" OF the house in repair. At the ex-
prdtl0n Of the first year the house was |
aecldcntally burned down. and the /
tenant had to rent another. At the |
EXPIRATION of the two years the land |
iori demanded pay for the last wears
t'nancy, but the tenant refused TO paw. |
on The ground that the house having |
bTAed down he was discharged from
further liability for rent. The land
loTd sued to recover that amount.
Mrs. BRYANT and James Dean repre-
Sthtcd the Landlord and Mr.. Kicks and
Nr>. Cary represented the tenant. The
.neaGerS for the landlord maintained
tnat IT was settled rule of common
law that the happening of an unfore-
seen contingency would not relieve a
tenant from paying the rent stipulated
IN his written contract, and that there
lore the tenant in this case was liable
lor rent the full time, not Notwithstanding
the demised premises were destroyed
ny lire in the meantime. Their oppo-
hentS urged.the contrary, as thing
against reason, justice and common
'rA'e, and SO thought small majority
o those present acting as jury, but the
'1'i,lon Of Professor Leighton, who
presided was in favor of the landlord.
