MONTHS RENT INVOLVED.
A Peculiar Condition urrOundin the
Case.

Justice Smock yesterday took under adj
visement the case of Hobe Bossell, lessee
OF the property at 40 North Illinois street,
against William Dodd, a barber, occupy
ing a portion of the building. Bossel holds
the real estate by yearly tenancy and I'M
der condition that he vacate upon three
months notice. He rented to Dodd and
now sues for rent for February. Dodd set
up the defense that when ossell was noti-
fed Dec. 1 to vacate he in turn notified
him; that later Bossell concluded that he
would not be compelled to leave the
premises March 1 and agreed with Dodd
If he would stay and 1t was necessary to
turn the property over to the owners, he
should have the last months rent free.
He found a place on the opposite side of
the street into which he could have moved
his shop but did not because of the rep
resentation of Bossell. When Bossell asked
for the February rent he declined to pay
1t on the ground that Bossells tenancy
would end Feb. Is and he was to nave the
last months rent free.
