Opinion of the Court

Chief Justice.

The act of the legislature requires that the nature of the estate which the party grieved has in the premises, should be set out in the complaint. (Rev. Law 350, sec. 7.) Now nothing is more manifest than that the *50estate of the persons making this complaint is not set out. They say they are “ tenants for years or lessors of the same,” that is, either tenants or landlords; but which does not appear. Therefore,

Let the judgment be reversed.
