Opinion of the Court
When this action was commenced the plaintiff had a good cause of action against the defendant. The fact that it has since taken possession of the demanded premises does not abate the action, but it is entitled to judgment for costs and for rent and damages under the recognizance entered into by the defendant. Coburn v. Palmer, 8 Cush. 124. King v. Lawson, 98 Mass. 309. Exceptions overruled.
