GIBSON

versus

WELLS.

can turn him out of possession, upon six months notice,* The declaration in every count but the first states an express condition, which is not proved; or if it be presumed to be an inference of law, the jury must understand that there is no such law. That which the Jaw imposes on all mankind cannot properly be said to be a condition of a lease. It is also stated to be to the injury of the reversioner, but even the crack in the wall which was done, not wilfully, but by accident, is not an injury to the reversion, because it may be repaired before the expiration of the lease, and there is really no way of assessing the damages. Tenantable repair is what one hears of every day, but one knows not what it is, unless it is explained by a covenant or an express assumpsit. Every want of repair in every house in the kingdom may be said to have arisen from the neglect of the tenant, who might have repaired, at a great expense. The rule laid down in 2 Espinasse, 590, is to be found in no other book; the action must have been in assumpsit."

Whereupon the plaintiff was nonsuited.

He moved for a new trial, as I understood, and with great difficulty obtained a rule to shew cause, but afterwards abandoned it.

With respect to permissive waste, no remedy lies against a tenant at will; for he is not bound to repair or sustain houses like tenant for years. 3 Rep. 13, b. 1 Show. 288.
