Syllabus

<p>1. Landlord and Tenant. Agreement to sell. Case in judgment.</p> <p>H. entered into a written agreement with S , in which it was stipulated that S. was to have the use of certain land belonging to H., and was to pay as rent therefor a certain sum yearly. The annual payments of rent were to be credited upon a note of S. held by JET., and if in a given time the credits amounted to enough to satisfy the note and interest, S. was to have a deed to the land. Held, that there was nothing unlawful in that agreement, and that the relation of landlord and tenant existed between the parties.</p> <p>2. Vendor and Vendee. Relation changed by subsequent agreement.</p> <p>It is not allowable by a subsequent agreement to convert the relation of vendor and vendee into that of landlord and tenant so as to defeat supervening rights.</p>
