1Opinion of the CourtJustice MacArthur
It appears from the bill of exceptions that this was an action under the statute to regulate proceedings between landlord and tenant, and, the defendant pleading title in himself, the case was certified to this court. It also appears that, on the 1st day of November, 1871, Arthur W. Fiske, who is the husband of the plaintiff, owned the premises in dispute, and on that day gave, with his wife, a deed of trust thereon to B. H. Warner and George W. Stickney, to secure the payment of a note, made by the said Arthur W. Fiske ta Hugh Gaperton, for the sum of $3,000, due in two years from such date.
