It is ordered and adjudged that a verdict for the defendants be and it is hereby directed, on the ground that the plaintiff accepted rental payments subsequent to the issuance of its “notice to quit” to the defendants, and the above-styled action is hereby dismissed, with costs and prejudice to the plaintiff.
