POSSESSION OF PREMISES.
WELLINGTON, July 1. Mr E. Page, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court, held that a landlord was not entitled to recover possession of his premises when the rent was in arrears unless notice had been given. F. Smith had let a shop and a dwelling to R. Lancely at £3 a week. Three months later the rent was £lB in arrears, and plaintiff issued a summons for possession. Mr Page said that section 170 of the Magistrate’s Court Act applied only in cases where the landlord had the right by law to re-enter for the non-payment of rent.
