RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY.
POSITION DEFINED. (BY TELEGRAPH. PRESS ASSOCIATION.) GISBORNE, Julv 10. The judgment of Justice Ostler was given this morning in a case in which a native, Sam Cotter, petitioned against the Crown’s action in l’eentering upon a leasehold property for non-payment of rent. The evidence had showed that the Land Board had had difficulty in securing rent from the petitioner, and finally re-entered. A few days later the petitioner tendered the amount of arrears, but the Commissioner refused to accept it. In making an order relieving the petitioner from forfeiture on condition that he paid the Crown costs and all arrears of rent, his Honor said that the right to. re-enter for non-payment of rent was always regarded in equity merely as a security for payment of rent.
