2 Miles 390

Counsel

T, J. Wharton, for the rule, G. M. Wharton, contra.

Loos v. Caldwell

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.—

The object of our act of assembly on this subject is to allow a landlord to be made a defendant, where the defendant is the lessee and in possession. Now, in this case, Hills was a vendee of this land, by deed, after the ejectment brought and summons served, and the defendant was his vendor. We do not find any warrant for authorizing a third person in the position of Hills to come in as a defendant.

Rule discharged.
