GLUED LINOLEUM
A MAGISTRATE BAFFLED. At Marylebone Police Court a few weeks ago a woman stated that when she rented rooms she purchased some linoleum from the landlord for £3 and was handed a receipt. She had recently given up possession of the rooms, but when she went to remove the linoleum with her other goods, she found that it was so strongly glued down that she she eo .ld not lift it without damaging the floor. The landlord threatened to sue her if she did any damage in removing the linoleum, and, on the other hand, had told her that she was liable to pay rent while her property —the linoleum —was still on the premises. What was she to do? The Magistrate: I am sure I don’t know what to do. I should not know what to do if I were in the same position myself. You must not take away the house, you know. Some conundrums are rather beyond me’. This is a nice point which might go to the House Lord s.
