Syllabus
<p>1. Though a lease of land implies a covenant of quiet enjoyment, yet that covenant is not designed as an indemnity against any and all disturbance of the lessee’s enjoyment, but extends only to acts of the lessor himself, and to injuries inflicted under title paramount.</p> <p>2. The removal of a party wall by an adjoining owner in Philadelphia ■under the provisions of the act of May 20, 1857, P. L. 590, even though the leased premises become uninhabitable by the tenant, does not constitute such an eviction under a paramount title as will relieve the tenant from the payment of rent.</p>
