Preble v. Hay
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine · Decided April 15, 1851 · Wells
32 Me. 456

Preble v. Hay

Opinion of the Court

Wells, J.,

orally.—The second instruction was correct. The notice of December, 1848, was a notice to remove the building and surrender the possession of the land to the plaintiff, and it was sufficient to terminate the tenancy. But that is an immaterial point. The jury have found, that the holding was under a written lease, which had expired when the first notice was given. In such a case no notice of the termination of the tenancy is necessary. The first instruction Was also correct.

Exceptions overruled.
