Gen. No. 41,290. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed November 26, 1940
FORCIBLE ENTRY AND DETAINER, § 73 — sufficiency of evidence. Plaintiff properly had judgment in forcible detainer proceedings, where defendant who rented vacant lot for used car lot tried to create a hold-over tenancy at end of term by mailing check marked rent payment for the next month, but plaintiff returned this check by registered mail, defendant could not contend plaintiff did not have right to maintain instant action, because defendant failed to prove that premises had been leased to a new tenant who would have right to sue, and evidence showed that defendant was in actual possession at time suit was instituted.
