Cadwalader v. Tindall
Cadwalader v. Tindall
20 Pa. 422; 1853 Pa. LEXIS 54
Cadwalader v. Tindall
Opinion of the Court
Where a tenant of land receives the cattle of third persons to be pastured at hire, are they subject to a distress for rent ? Certainly not; else the law of distress would be a mere trap to catch other people’s property. Where, in the course of the tenant’s business, he receives the property of third persons as a means of making a livelihood, it .is not subject to distress.
Judgment affirmed.
