Equity Court upholds demurrer in Willam J. Dante case
Justice Barisad in Equity Court 26 yesterday sustained the demurrer in the case of Willam J. Dante against Mary A. Velati. The issue: whether one tenant in common can bind co tenants to a lease or remove red from title. The fourteenth street property once leased to the American National Bank and later purchased by Stilson Hutchins was involved. The court held that a lessee could not be disturbed when one tenant in common leased and the other accepted rent.
