Syllabus
<p>Landlord and tenant — Principal and agent — Trespass against agent.</p> <p>A tenant has no standing to maintain an action of trespass against the agent of his landlord on the ground that the latter directed another person to break into and enter upon the demised premises, and because such person had prevented the plaintiff from removing his goods, when the evidence shows that the agent had merely given to such other person by the direction of the owner a lease on the premises; that the term of such lease did not go into effect until after the acts of which the plaintiff complained; that the agent had given no directions to the new tenant; and that at the time of the acts complained of the old tenant was in default for rent, and the landlord had a right to determine the lease.</p>
