delivered the opinion of the Court.

This was an action of forcible detainer. Appellant offered upon the trial to show that since the letting, the landlord had built a stair vay alongside of the rented premises, which cut off much light therefrom.

The evidence was properly excluded. Appellant con-tinned to occupy the premises, and so doing, was bound to pay rent. Keating v. Springer, 146 Ill. 481.

The judgment for restitution rendered by the court is affirmed.
