Opinion of the Court

Smith, J.

1. In a statutory proceeding by a landlord against a tenant, under sections 3348 and 3366 of the Civil Code (1910), to recover for advances for the making of the crop, where the only defense set out in the counter-affidavit filed by the tenant was a denial of any indebtedness to the landlord, evidence in the nature of a set-off, consisting of several items of indebtedness by the landlord to the tenant, none of them growing out of the contract of rental, was properly excluded by the court.
