Syllabus

<p>1. Forcible detainer under act of 1865—as to what constitutes a forfeitwre. To create a forfeiture, so as to support, under the act of I860, an action of forcible detainer, for non-payment of rent, four things must concur : There must be a default in paying the rent, a demand of the same and ten days notice to quit, and a failure to pay the rent before the expiration of the ten days notice.</p> <p>2. Same—of the sufficiency of the complaint. And in an action of forcible detainer for a failure to pay rent, if the plaint does not ayer that a demand of the rent was made, it is insufficient to support a judgment of forfeiture.</p>
