Syllabus

<p>Lanklobd and Tenant (4) — Lease—Existence of Relation — Evidence. A finding of a verbal lease for 115 months at six dollars per month is not sustained where respondent was the only one who testified to the fact, he was squarely contradicted, and never made any claim for rent during the entire period, and services rendered offset any claim for use and occupation.</p> <p>Pleadings (104) — Amendment — Necessity — Quantum Mekuit. An action for stated rent cannot be sustained upon the theory of quantum meruit where there was no amendment and no proof thereof offered.</p>
