Supreme Court of Rhode Island October 22, 1900 (Sheldon v. Hamilton)

*232

Douglas, J.

(1)

This is a petition for a new trial of an action of debt for rent for a dwelling-house in the city of Providence. The questions involved arise upon the claim of the defendant to set off against the rent, which is not disputed, certain sums which he paid the city of Providence for water used upon the premises while in his possession.
