TENANTS' RIGHTS.
Since the regulation governing the rights of tenants and landlords were so amended as to give the tenant the right to retain possession if ho could only prove to the satisfaction of thi Court that his ejectment would result in an undue degree of hardshipgreater than the hardship which would be the lot of the landlord and ownei were he refused possession—manj ttsnants have been in the position tc smile broadly at the discomfort ol their landlords. "Our hardship will be greater than theirs," they eon gratulate themselves, "and we staj on." A decision given by Mr. W. G. Riddell, S.M., on Tuesday morning shows that hardship or no hardship a tenant is liable to ejectment if he has allowed his rent to fall in arrears. The defendant, Lewis Gestro, butcher, of Wadestown, was ordered to give up possession of the dwelling in question to George Fair Browne and Frank Robert Waters by April 23, and to pay accrued rent amounting to £6 10s apd £1 19s costs. Mr. E. Kennedy appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. P. W. Jackson for the defence.
