POINT FOR HOUSE TENANTS
THAT "WEEK'S NOTICE." .'(By Telegraph— Special Correspondent.) Palmerston, Juno 1. A point of interest to landlords and tenants cropped up at the hearing of a caso in .the Supreme Court on Saturday afternoon, when his Honour Mr. Justice Edwards said that many, <sven among the legal fraternity, were of opinion that if a tenant paia rent by the week ho'was only entitled to a week's notice, but that was not the law-. -Unless there was a special agreement _ as to what length of notice was required a tenant was entitled to a month's written notice. The case was one in which a landlord, wishing to rebuild, gave a tenant a week's notice to,vacate a house, but the latter claimed that ho was entitled to a month's notice. The landlord thereupon pulled down two chimneys and tho verandah, and the tenant, entering a suit, received £50 damages.
