• 88 Ill. 479

Syllabus

<p>1. Justice of the peace—jurisdiction. A justice of the peace has jurisdiction in a suit, for damages to real estate done by a party entering the same under a lease, and the owner may recover for the same without being in actual possession at the time of the injury.</p> <p>2. Landlord and tenant—liability of the tenant. Where a lot is rented only for the purpose of building cribs on it in which to store corn, the lessee will be responsible to the lessor for any tortious acts committed by the former outside of such use, resulting in injury to the premises.</p>
