HOUSE AND HEALTH
* —- A TENANT'S JUSTIFICATION. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, Juno 21. Mr Justice McCardle delivered an important judgment in the King’s Bench Division, declaring a tenant is justified in leaving a. furnished house immediately that he learns that there has been a consumptive patient there during the previous month. The judgment was the outcome of a claim by a tenant for the return
of an advance instalment of rent. Mr Justice McCardle said he doubted whether the terrible prevalence of con sumption in England was fully realised. One person in every seven died from this disease. It was the largest single cause of death between the ages of thirty-five and forty-five. He was convinced that the tenant in this instance had acted wisely in vacating the house, which was more than likely infected with consumptive germs.
