Montgomery, J.,
concurring: — I cannot concur in that part of the opinion of the court where it is held that the ordinary grass or hay patch, the natural and spontaneous growth of the soil on the rented premises is embraced in the word “crops” in Section 1754 of The Code, unless it be shown that such was a part of the rental consideration if the rent was to- be paid in money, or unless the tenant was by the contract, required to cut the grass or hay and deliver a part of the same to the landlord as rent. The criminal law has already been invoked by legislation, as a redress for civil injuries growing out of this subject as far as it ought to go, in my opinion, and I, as a judge, am not willing to extend its jurisdiction. Otherwise I concur in the opinion.
Walker and Connor, J. J. concur in the concurring opinion of Montgomery, J.
