Sheppard v. . Sheppard

3 N.C. 382

Opinion

The authorities cited are strong to the point for which they were cited, nor do I conceive them unreasonable. Where waste of insignificant value is done scatteredly through a whole tract, the tenant must lost the place wasted; and this is too heavy a penalty where the damage is to the amount only of a small sum. That ought only to be considered waste which is substantially an injury to the inheritance.

Judgment arrested.
