Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County June 6, 1840 (Bromley v. Hopewell)

Per Curiam.—

By the act of 21st March, 1772, and the 83d section of the act of June 16, 1836, relating to executions, out of the prdceeds of the goods of the defendant, taken in execution, there is to be paid the rent due to the landlord not exceeding one year’s rent. These acts evidently contemplate the defendant to be the lessee of the landlord, either by direct lease or an assignment.
