Bradish v. Schenck, 8 Johns. 151

Per Curiam.

Letting land upon shares, if for a single crop, is ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‍no lease of the land, and the owner alone must bring trespass for breaking the close. (Cro. Eliz. 143.) Schenck and Curtiss were tenants ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‍in common off the corn; but the omission to join Curtiss was only to be taken advantage of by pleading it ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‍in abatement. (1 Saund. 291. G.)

We ought to intend that the action of replevin was at “an end when this ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‍suit was brought, if we can take notice of it all. It was not pleaded, arid the only ‍​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‍proof of. its existence was by parol.

The judgment must be affirmed.
