Reed v. Todd

Opinion of the Court

Pur cur.

The tenant cannot be permitted to dispute his landlord’s title. The court has to decide whether a tenancy be proved; and we are satisfied from the evidence in this case that the defendant held by permission of the plaintiff. If the paper is offered for the purpose of disputing Reed’s title, it is not competent, as in our judgment the tenancy is proved.

The plaintiff had a verdict.
