Counsel

Harry Emmons for defendant below., Percy Warren Green for plaintiff below.

Opinion of the Court

Boyce, J.

[1] The court is of the opinion that the statement filed in this case is not in substantial compliance with the statute either in form or substance.

[2] The subletting of demised premises in violation of a stipulation in the lease not to sublet the same without the consent of the owner is not sufficient, in itself, to support the remedy afforded by the statute for forcible detainer.

The judgment below is reversed.
