No rent, Mr. Watson explained, had been accepted from the de fendant but the money had been paid into court as from September

The rent of the flat was $70 month. On October 16 a letter was received from Mr. Clarke stating that he was looking after the flat for Bolderson and asking the plaintiff to come and collect the rent. A shroff went over to collect the rent but as only the rent for September was tendered and there was four months rent due he refus- to accept it

The defendant had clearly stat- ed in his letter, maintained Mr. Watson that he was acting only, as caretaker for Bolder son and was only paying the rent on behalf of Mr. Bolderson.
