Almy v. Allen

Supreme Court of Rhode Island
Almy v. Allen, 48 A. 934 (R.I. 1901)
22 R.I. 595; 1901 R.I. LEXIS 55
Stiness, Tillinghast

Almy v. Allen

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

(1) The verdict is not against the evidence. The book of account for rents was properly admitted in evidence, as the defendant himself had first examined the plaintiff’s agent, who made the entries, as to its contents.

*596 Dexter B. Potter, for plaintiffs. Cassius L. Kneeland, for defendant.

(2) The newly-discovered evidence has' no bearing upon the case. It relates to an agreement to pa'y the defendant’s predecessor in title for the buildings on the land upon termination of the lease. If the defendant has any claim of this sort it can be enforced in a proper proceeding, but it does not operate to extend a tenancy.

Petition for new trial denied, and case remitted.
