Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

The improvements erected by Gett, under the terms of the lease he obtained from Platt, became part of the freehold, and were the property of the lessor, and so passed by *58his deed to McManus. There is nothing appearing in the circumstances of this case which could operate to change the character of the improvements in this respect or constitute them the mere personal chattels of the plaintiff.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded with directions to dismiss the action.
