In re Lynch

15 F. Cas. 1171 | S.D.N.Y. | 1873

BLATCHFORD, District Judge.

The landlord is not entitled necessarily, as a question of law, to full rent of the premises, from the date of service of the injunction to the date of the adjudication, at the rent prescribed by the lease. What compensation he is entitled to, if any, for such period, or for any period subsequent to the adjudication, is not presented for decision on the certificate.

The register subsequently certified to the court, by request of counsel and on thé same facts, the questions: Is the landlord to prove his debt for the rent from April 11th to the adjudication, as a general creditor, or is he to be paid in full under the lease, or how is he to be compensated for rent during that period? How is he to be compensated for rent from April 19th to May 1st, when he recovered possession?
