Eden, who had vacated the house about five months ago, leaving a family called Brown in possession. It appears that Eden allowed tho Brown family to share the house with him when lie was renting it, but that subsequently ho left tho house but did not take the Brown family with him.

D. W. Neild gavo evidence as to the steps he had taken on behalf of Blom to regain possession of tho house. Brown, in evidence, said that Blom had told him he could stay in the house until he could find another, - provided ho paid the rent on behalf of Eden.
