The plain. | ul appealed to the Court in General Term, and the case eame up yesterday, when the | briefs of counsel were laid before the court. The counsel for Kimball cinimed thatas a general rule ali things cn the premises were liable to seizure, Whether they are the effects of the tenant or of a stranger. The exceptions are founded upon principies of public policy To take this case out of the general rale, it must be shown that the business of the tenaut | Wassuch as naturally todraw a piano to the | house. It was in the house with the consent and knowledge of Ellis, and was distrainable | Ellis has his remedy by suit against Hooker. | ‘Tbe counsel for Ellis claimed that the sim- ple question was whether the piano was ex- | emp d on examination it would appear that the tendency of all modern decisions has been | to relax the severity of the common law rule, | Which gave *he landlord « the right to distrain | all goods on the premises.” | The briet farther states —“Tne keeping of a boarding-bonse is 8 trade, and. in tois sity, | there are probably twice as many persons eh- | gaged in it, as im amy other trade or occupa- | ton. The persons who follow thix way of living are generally widows and poor people, ud tberefore have 4 claim upon the tayor aud | Provection of the courts. If the right of the jandlord to distrain be not restricted, «then, in the ianguage of Chief Justice Cranch, «this | Jawiul trade of keeping a common boarding- | house would be destroyed, which would be a great incon ventence to the publie.” The land- | lady, Nesbit, rented this house as a boarding- | /ouse. 1t ts, therefore, to be presumed that she | consented that the lodgers should bring upou the premises whatever was necessary for their | comfort or convenience. and that therefore, as | to those things. he waived his right Yo dis- | train «The presumption of waiver of distrain is increased by the fact that the house was rent- ed furnished. The landlady could not, in this case, have given eredit to a visible stock on the premises, which is supposed to be the foundation of the right of the Jandiord to dis- traim every thing he finds there. To sustain the right of distress, in a case like the present, “would enable the landiord,” in the languaze of the books, “to practice a fraud and contri- | Vance, to subject the goods of innocent people to distress.” The tenant here isin possession of a large amount of valuable farniture, with the consent of, and under an agreement with the ae which said agreement is un- known to the public. The boarder and the lodger, as well as the merchant and trader, are thus decoyed into placing their goods upon tne speee to becol the prey of the landlord. be warrant in Bis case Was & general ene. itshould have been a special one, directed to the bailiff te distrain the said piano.” Chief Justice Cartter announced the decision of the Court, which was unanimous, sustaining the decision ef Judge Wylie in the court be- low, saying that the bailiff had no right totouch other property than that of the tenant. and that tbe property of boarders or other occupants of the bouse cannot be touched.
