Syllabus
<p>Landlord and tenant — Lease—-Ejectment — Parol evidence — Opening judgment.</p> <p>Upon a rule to open a judgment entered under an ejectment clause in a lease, where the lessee seeks to set aside the written lease under which he went into possession, and to establish a parol lease which would change the term, lie is held to the same strictness of 231’oof that would be required of the lessor, if he were attempting to enforce a forfeiture for condition broken.</p> <p>In such a case where the evidence of the lessee is not corroborated, but is contradicted by the lessor, and the time of the alleged agreement was when the lessee was already bound by the written lease for a further term of two years, the court will be justified in refusing to open the judgment.</p>
