Waters's & Scott's Lessee v. Butler
Waters's & Scott's Lessee v. Butler
4 D.C. 371; 29 F. Cas. 410; 4 Cranch 371
Opinion of the Court
refused to instruct the jury, that three months notice to quit was necessary; being of opinion that no notice was necessary, because the relation of landlord and tenant did not exist; and that if it did, the tenancy was only until a sale should become necessary ; and ended when the sale was made. The end of the tenancy was certain, because it could be rendered certain.
Verdict for the plaintiff.
