<p>Landlord and tenant — -Lease of wall for advertising purposes — Holding over.</p> <p>In an action to recover rent for several years in arrears under the lease of a wall for advertising purposes, the case is for the jury where the evidence shows that the view of the wall from the street had been obstructed by a structure on neighboring property, that the lessees had given notice of an intention to quit if the obstructions were not removed, that the obstructions were not removed, that the lessee ceased using the wall shortly thereafter, and that the lessors accepted compensation for the use of the place from other parties. In such a case a verdict and judgment against the plaintiff’s claim will be sustained.</p>
