Stiles v. Jackson, ex dem. Ten Eyck

Opinion of the Court

*317By the Court,

Savage, Ck„ J,

The infants are entitled to defend by guardian, as landlords of the premises. Every person may be considered as a landlord for this purpose, whose title is connected to and consistent with the possession of the occupier. (Adams on Eject. 230. Burr. 1290.) And when the lessor in ejectment claims an interest inconsistent with the title of the landlord, the latter may defend.

Motion granted.
