LEGAL DECISIONS.





LEASE—PERFORMANCE OF CONDITIONS AND COVE
NANTS UEGAKDINC  RENEWAL—ESTOPPEL.

The Court of Appeals has decided tbe following:
In 1855, one L. leased to one W. certain premises





situate in the City of New York, for the term of
twelve J-ears. Tho lease by its terms provided
that the lessee .should ptiy all taxes and asses-s-
nieiits levied and asse.s.sed during the term, and in
ca.se of failure to perform this and any of the
other covenants contained in the lea.se. the less jr
wius entitled to re-enter. The lea-se further se¬
cured to the lessee on conditions therein expressed,
a further term, or tbe payment of the just and
fair value to be ascertained by appraisers to bo
nominated bj' the parties, of any building which
niigbt be built and constructed by tbe les-see, and
which might be standing on the premises at tho
time of the expiration of the lease.

The lessee in 1S.55 or 18.50 erected a building on
tho premises. He failed to pay the taxes on tho
property for the j'ear ISOO. The lea.se expired
.Maj' 1, 1807, when tbe le.ssor declined to execute
a new lease, and took pos.session. Within tho
time prescribed by the lease, the.lessee gave
notice of tbe appointment on bis iiart of an ap¬
praiser, and the lessor, ignorant of the failure on
tho part of the lessee to paj' tho taxe.s aforesaid,
made a like appointment of an appraiser on bis
part. The appraisers so nominated and ap¬
pointed met and determined tho value of tho
building, and on this appraisement suit wa.s
brought. The court hold tliat tiie lessor, notwith¬
standing the appraisement, is not liable. Tho
lierforinance by tbe le-ssee of the covenant to pay-
taxes, precedes in time the provision for tin.' re¬
newal of the lease, or the paying for the building
as therein provided, and until the lessee fulfils
the conditions of tbe covenants on bis part, ho
bas no reinedj- against the les-sor. The consent to
an appraisement by tbe lessor and the naming of
an appraiser was not evidence of a jierformanco
by the lessee, nor of a waiver bv the lessor, and
did not operate as an estoppel Upon the latter.
He bad a right to insist upon a performance after
the submission had been made, and hence no
waiver was legitiinatelj- to be inferred from bis
acts. The most that can be urged in favor of a
waiver is that the lessor consenteil to the appoint¬
ment of an appraiser, and this is not sullicient to
con.stitnte such waiver of tbe condition of tbo
lease. As bo did not know of tne non-paj'inent
of the taxes, be cannot be said to have waived the
covenant as to tho paj'inent of the same. The
question of waiver is one of intention.





JtOUTGAGE—IIIGIITS   OF    MDllTG.VGEE   I.N'   POSSES¬
SION.

The same Court (of -A.ppeals) has decided the
following:

A mortgagee lawfullj- in possession of the mort¬
gaged premises can retain po.sse.ssion thereof
against tbe mortgagor, after default upon the
mortgage, until aiij' and all .sums due have been
paid. To authorize such retention, the possession
need not have been given under tbe mortgage, or
with a view thereto.





MORTGAGE—INSURANCE BY MORTGAGEE.

The same Court (of Appeals) bas decided—That
a mortgagee niaj- insure his interest as such in
mortgaged propertj', independent of tho mort¬
gagor, and if be does it at bis own expense, upon
bis own motion and for bis sole benefit, the in¬
surer, on making compensation, is entitled to an
assignment of the rights of tbe insured; and in
such a case, if a sjjecial agreement is made for
subrogation, there can be no doubt of its validity
and binding force. It is competent, also, for a
mortgagee to protect bis interests against tbe
acts of the mortgagor in a case where the insur¬
ance is taken for the benetit of the latter, upon
such terms and conditions as the mortgagee can
secure from the insurer. He has a I'ight to pro¬
tect himself bej'ond the power of the mortgagor
to effect his interest.





SHIPPER   AND CARRIER—TERMS OF BILL OF    LA¬
DING,

The same Court (of Appeals) has decided the
following question:

A receipt or bill of lading delivered to a ship¬
per by a caiTier is to be regarded as the contract
