Supreme Court of Louisiana June 15, 1836 (Chase v. Turner)

Martin, J-,

delivered the opinion of the court.

In this case, the plaintiff claims a rescission of a lease, on the ground of non-payment of the rent, on the part of the defendant and lessee.

The defendant resists the action, and justifies his conduct in withholding payment of the rent. He avers that the leased premises border on.
