Willard v. Earley

Per Curiam:

Clearly, the defendant disclaimed the title of his landlord, and claimed to hold the premises under another; in other words, he claimed adversely to his lessor. Prom this, on all authority, it follows that this suit was well brought and properly determined in the court below. A tenant cannot repudiate his landlord’s title, and afterwards set up the lease, in order to protect himself from the consequences of his own act

The judgment is affirmed.
