• Court: Supreme Court of New Jersey
• Decided: November 15, 1807
• Status: Published

Opinion

By the Court.

This is simply a case of landlord and tenant. The facts to be tried were, wdiether the plaintiff below wras the lessor and let the land] to the defendants-whether they were tenants and took the land of the plaintiff, and whether they have holden over after the expiration of their lease ?

(a) This is all found by the verdict of the jury, in favor of the plaintiff below,. [*] and rightly. Although the estate which the plaintiff hath in the land must be set out, yet it is not intended to try the title in this action.

Judgment Affirmed.
