Syllabus

<p>(a) A tenant, holding over after the term under a lease for five years “with leave of renewal for five years,” filed a bill in equity to restrain his landlord from proceeding to obtain possession and for a decree requiring the execution of a renewal lease:</p> <p>1. There being an adequate remedy at law, in such case, equity will not entertain jurisdiction, and, even though the objection be not raised, this court, to prevent the use of the case as a precedent, will dismiss the bill without prejudice to the right of the tenant to defend at law.</p>
