    "head_matter": "Bliss C. White, Appellee, v. Charles Libro, Appellant.\n(Zot to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the County Court of Macoupin county; the Hon. Truman A. Snell, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1914.\nReversed.\nOpinion filed October 16, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nSuit to recover rent by Bliss C. White against Charles Libro. An appeal was taken from the judgment of a justice of the peace to the County Court where the case was tried by the court without a jury. The evidence showed that James E. Colvin executed a bond for a deed whereby he agreed to convey real estate to Ercole Libro, a brother of the defendant, provided that he paid a mortgage of $900 to an improvement association in monthly payments of $11.64, and a further sum of $535 to Colvin, to be paid $100 in cash and the balance in monthly payments of $2.61 per month with interest at six per cent, per annum, payable monthly, and all taxes. Ercole Libro was furnished with a pass book and nine shares of stock in the association, such pass book showed sixty-two payments in accordance with the contract, payments being made down to within thirty days of the bringing of this suit. It appeared, however, that Ercole Libro went to Europe after putting his brother in possession of the premises, and that payments were thereafter made by Charles Libro, and entered in the pass book of Ercole Libro.\nAt the conclusion of the trial, judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiff for $128.25, and the defendant appealed.\nPeebles & Peebles, for appellant.\nAlfred A. Isaacs, for appellee.\nAbstract of the Decision.\nLandlord and tenant, \u00a7 487*-\u2014when suit for rent will not lie. Under the Landlord and Tenant Act, \u00a7 1, par. 3, (J. & A. f 7039), providing that rent may be recovered when possession has been obtained under an agreement for the purchase of premises and before deed is given, where the right to possession is terminated by forfeiture or noncompliance with the agreement, and possession is wrongfully refused to be given upon demand in writing by the party entitled thereto, such action for rent will not lie where there is no proof of a demand for possession made in writing."
