Higgins v. Wilner

On the seventeenth August, 1871, the plaintiffs leased to the defendant a cotton pickery, on Tchoupitonlas street, for twelve months, at one hundred and twenty-five dollars per month, evidenced by notes of the defendant. On the seventeenth April, 1872, the leased premises were in part destroyed by fire, and on the twenty-fourth day of the same month the defendant notified the plaintiffs of the fire, and after tendering eighty-three dollars and sixty-three cents, the balance of rent due at that date, demanded a revocation of the lease and the return of the notes.

This proposition was refused…
