DEMURRERS SUSTAINED.
Opinion Rendered BY Appellate Court Ii tho
whitehead Cases.

Defendants demurrers In the case OF
George NJ. Whitehead VS.. Comstock d
Company and Catherine Whitehead vs.
same are sustained in an opinion handed
down today by the appellate division OF
the supreme court. Mr.. whitehead hired
a tenement of the defendants and the
water pipes becoming frozen the oefeno-
ants placed plank in the cellar for the
tenants to walk over to place where
water could be obtained.
The plaintiff says the cellar was dark
and water flowing from leak In the
pipes made the cellar floor slippery. also
the plank. because Of the water freezing.
Mrs Whitehead fell and received severe
and permanent injuries.
The demurrers were on these groundsS
That no duty to the plaintiff is shown 10
rest on the defendants as set forth In the
declaration; 2, that IL Is not alleged that
the defendants had any knowledge OF tbs
slippery condition OF the plank. and 3.
that IL appears by the declaration thar
the proximate cause OF the accident was
the negligence OF the plaintiffs WIFE,
Judge Tillinghast writes the opinion OF
the court in the course or which he Says
I'VE think IL Is clear that the demurrer
should be sustained. II Is well settled
law that there IN not implied warranty
on the part OF a landlord that the prem
Ises let by him are suitable for the pur-
pose for which they have been hired. The
Maxim Caveat Emptor applies, and the
lesse takes the risk OF conditions. unless
he protects himself by express covenant
In other words the tenant takes the
premises for better or for worse, and
cannot complain that they were not con-
strlicted differently. Tn short the law
undoubtedly is as held by the court IN
the well reasoned case OF Purcell vs..
English s6 Ind a. that no duty to repair
on the part OF the landlord arises out OF
the relation OF landlord and tenant. but
on the contrary this relation devolves
that duty upon the tenant. and II Is only
where the landlord contracts TO keep the
premises in repair that he is burdened
with that duty"
As TO that part OF the declaration
which sets forth that the defendants
placed a plank in the cellar the court
thinks there was no obligation to place
the plank I'm the cellar and the defend
ants were not called upon TO keep watch
OF II and prevent II from becoming COW
cred with ice or other slippery substances
The making OF repairs on water pipes ai
the request of tenant Is held to be a
mere gratuitous act upon the part OF tns
landlord and TO impose no liability upon
him.
