Syllabus

<p>(a) In a landlord and tenant ease, under tbe act of December 14, 1863, P. L. [1864] 1126, there was evidence to show that a written notice to quit was pushed under the defendant’s door, when absent to evade the service; that on Ms return he entered by the same door; and that the next day the plaintiff told Mm of the written notice:</p> <p>1. in such ease, the question of service was a question of fact for the jury; and it was not error to instruct the jury that if they believed the defendant purposely kept away so that he could not be served with the notice, and the notice was put under the door by the plaintiff, the service thereof was sufficient.</p>
