• 83 Ill. 182

Syllabus

<p>1. Lease—delivery, when not necessary. Where a tenant of a prior owner of property signs a lease to him from a grantee of his former lessor, recognizing his relation as tenant and fixing the rate of rent, the times of payment and the length of the term, it is not necessary for the landlord, in forcible detainer against such tenant, to prove a delivery of his lease</p> <p>2. Landlobd and tenant—attornment. Where a tenant, after notice of a conveyance of the demised premises by his landlord, promises to pay rent to the grantee, this is sufficient evidence of an attornment.</p> <p>3. Bill oe exceptions—demand of rent and notice to quit. Where the bill of exceptions taken in a forcible detainer suit, shows that a notice and demand in writing was read in evidence, but fails to set out its contents, it will be presumed that it was sufficient to justify the judgment below.</p>
