Roberts v. Cyr

This action was brought for the specific recovery of a motion picture theater, and certain rights annexed to it, in the building of one George Ringuette, in Madawaska, Maine. Defendant pleaded the general issue; by way of brief statement, he denied plaintiffs’ title, and set up, as tenant under a lease from the owner of the fee, right in himself to remain in tenure.

Plaintiffs rely on a leasehold created by the same lessor. Their lease is dated August 2, 1937, its term five years from that day; it is of public registry. R. S., Chap. 87, Sec. 14.

The trial court directed a verdict for plaintiffs.
