New York Supreme Court August 15, 1825 (Pendleton v. Dyett)

Curia, per

Sutherland, J.

Eviction of the whole, or any part of the demised premises, is a good plea in bar to • an action either of debt or covenant for the rent. In this, all the authorities agree. (Cruise, Dig. tit. 28, Rents, ch. 3. Woodfall, 412-13. 1 Saund. 204, n. (2) and cases there *584cited.) The plea in tills case is unexceptionable in poin . of form.
