Henry Rosenberg, the well-known:

plaintiff and Mrs. Julia iloyt la tirei

Mrs. Hoyt has a summary prmesr

not present in the tribunal of limited
jurisdiction. The defense is that he

it a rather a complicated affair.
in 1909 Mr. Rosenberg and the Hoyt
interest entered into an agreement
over the theatre. Rnscnbers: agreed
to lease it for ten years at a rental
of $3,000 a year. lie was to spend
H.500 in fitting up the theatre. which
was to’ be deducted from the rental at

)lr. Rosenberg sub-leased the
place to Christopher Brown. the van-
deville man, and he in turn sublet to
.L‘ollins and Van Scoy. Brown paid
:Si.00 it year for his lease. it did not
‘appear how much Brown received.
The owners seek to break the orig
