Jury Trial Is Refused.

Justice Gould also overruled today
a motion of counsel for the tenant
that a t-ial by jury be accorded in
the case. Attorney Brown contended
that the code provides that appeals
in landlord and tenant cases are to
be heard as other appeals from the
Municipal Court, which are presented
de novo to a jury in Criminal Division.
He attacked the validity Of court
rule 10 providing for judgment on
afndavits in landlord and tenant cases,
and questioned the authority of the
court to make such rule when as he
claimed, the statutes made other pro-
vision.
Justice Gould declared the United

the practice of giving judgment on
afhdavits. and declined to grant a jury
