Opinion

Per Curiam.

The lessor of the plaintiff was not bound to look beyond Birdsall, his immediate lessee, and who continued to pay him the annual rent. So long as Birdsall paid him the rent, and he had not recognised any sub-lessee as tenant, he was not bound to look beyond Birdsall, nor to inquire whether the person in .actual possession was a tenant or servant to Birdsall.

The motion by the defendant to set aside the verdict is denied.

Motion denied.
