PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT: WITH A FULL COLLECTION OF PRECEDENTS, AND FORMS OF PROCEDURE. By S. B. HARRISON, Esq. The Seventh Edition BY HENRY HORN, ESQ., RECORDER OF HEREFORD. LONDON: HENRY SWEET, 3, CHANCERY LANE; W. MAXWELL, 32, BELL YARD, LINCOLN'S INN; ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SEVENTH EDITION. THE time that has elapsed since the publication of the last Edition, the passing of the Common Law Procedure Act, 1852, and the decision of many important points connected with the Law of Landlord and Tenant, have rendered another Edition of this Work necessary. Much matter has been omitted, as being too remotely connected with the subject of Landlord and Tenant, to require its retention; this has enabled the Editor to incorporate in the text so much of the Common Law Procedure Act, 1852, as relates to Ejectment, together with the recent decisions, without increasing the size of the work. A large portion of the Common Law Procedure Act and other Statutes have been inserted in the Appendix. The arrangement of the work has been preserved, as being one possessing many recommendations, and to which the majority of readers are accustomed. Large additions have been made to the Index, and, on the whole, the Editor trusts that the work has been rendered more useful, although he is conscious of the existence of defects and errors; but he hopes that they will not be found more numerous or serious than may be fairly expected in a work relating to a subject of much magnitude and intricacy. 2, HARE COURT, TEMPLE, November, 1855. HENRY HORN. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. THE object of this Treatise is to present to the reader a complete exposition of the law, as it affects personal standing in the relative situations of Landlord and Tenant. In addition to the usual body of technical learning, which is essential to the professional reader, it embraces a full explanation of many important subjects of ordinary occurrence and daily practice. It is in this respect-which may be considered as somewhat of a novel feature-that the present undertaking chiefly differs from its predecessors. It was considered advantageous to take, as a basis, the work of the late Mr. WOODFALL on the same subject; and by entirely remodelling its form, with a view to practical usefulness-curtailing its redundancies, by the omission of obsolete learning-and supplying its deficiencies, by the addition of popular and useful matter--to frame a Treatise adapted to the present wants of the profession and the public. It must, however, be obvious, that the work alluded to-although excellent in many respects, and elaborate upon questions applicable to intricate points of rare occurrence-could not, by merely reprinting it, with the addition of subsequent information, be rendered completely suitable to the purpose contemplated; accordingly, the alterations have been so extensive, that the present Treatise may. fairly be considered as an original work. The book contains not only a discussion of the statutory enactments and judicial determinations strictly applicable to the Law of Landlord and Tenant, but also a great body of inci |
