Gwin v. of Hicks

1 S.C.L. 503

Opinion

By the Court*

He that plants must reap; and as the life estate in the land was in Mr. Hicks when he planted the crop, it must go over to his executor for that year, without rent § but for the second year they ought to pay rent.

The jury found accordingly for the second year, 240 dollars — ~say, for 120 acres at two dollars per acre.
