Sims v. Price

Opinion of the Court

Fish, P. J.

Distress for rent will lie only where the relation of landlord and tenant exists between the parties. Cohen v. Broughton, 54 Ga. 296; Lathrop v. Standard Oil Co., 83 Ga. 307. Where ,the entry is under one holding adversely to another, the latter is not the landlord of the tenant. See Civil Code, § 3116.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Candler, J., absent.
