The Magistrate said that if the landlord, who had been lenient, wanted possession, he had no option but to make an order to vacate within a month. The tenant remarked that the Hospital Board had guaranteed "to pay the rent now, and that the chairman of the Relief Committee had stated that he could not be put out. Mr. Hunt: "Well, you tell him he docs , not know anything about it."
