Judgment for the defendant with costs, was entered by Judge P. Grant Jones in H. M. Supreme Court yesterday, in the case in which Sarban Singh claimed $150 from Kehar Singh for rental due on a room at No. Hart Road, from April 1, 1939, to January 31, 1940. In his case, plaintiff submitted that he took over the house on March 31, 1939 and thenceforth paid the monthly rental of $33. Atkinson & Dallas Ld., agents for the owners of the house. At that time, plaintiff contended, he already found the defendant in occupation of one of the rooms, collecting the monthly rental of $15 from him for month of March, but received no further payment afterwards. At the end of August, according to plaintiff, the defendant handed the room over to Tara Singh, without his consent. When plaintiff tried to collect rental from the latter, he was referred to the defendant.
Defendant, on the other hand, contended that he had never paid the March rent to the plaintiff, but that he had regularly paid $4.50 a month to Talok Singh, brother of the plaintiff with whom he shared the room. They both vacated the room 1153 Bubbling. Well Road
