5 How. Pr. 77

Chretien v. Doney

Opinion of the Court

This case involved the construction of a clause in a lease for a term of years. And this principle was settled in the decision to wit; “ Where the landlord obtains possession of the demised premises by summary proceedings which are reversed in the Supreme Court upon certiorari, that court should not award restitution to the tenant, if the term has expired before the judgment of reversal is rendered.” Reported, 1 Comstock, 419
