Every tenant of premises by the year, or where no certain time is specified, is bound to give his landlord half a year's notice, and this notice must expire on the same quarter-day as that on which he took possession. If a landlord accept the last quarter's rent, when there are arrears due, he cannot demand the arrears afterwards. If a landlord agree to repair a house, and neglect or refuse so to do, the tenant may do all necessary repairs, and deduct the expenses out of the rent, which the landlord must submit to. When improper notice is given on either side, such improper notice should be objected to as soon as possible; for if no objection is made within a reasonable time, it will be deemed binding on the party accepting it. The law makes no distinction between lodgers and other tenants for payment of rent, or turning them out of possession. A housekeeper has power to distrain his lodger's goods while on the premises, till his rent be paid, but not unless such rent is actually due. Where lodgings are taken for a specified time, no notice is requisite, the tenancy expiring with the term. Where lodgings are letto a man and his wife, the taking is that of the husband only. If persons who occupy furnished apartments absent themselves for an unreasonable time, without apprizing the landlord, and leaving the rent in arrear, he may, the second week of such absence, send for a constable, and in his presence enter the apartments, and take out the lodgers' property, and secure it till à request be made for it. HOLIDAYS KEPT AT THE PRINCIPAL PUBLIC OFFICES. At the Bank the only holidays kept are Good Friday and Christmas Day; with the exception of the Transfer and Dividend Offices, in which the 1st of May and the 1st of Nov. are also kept.
