    "head_matter": "Ellen L. Norton, Defendant in Error, v. W. J. Peer, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 20,771.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Joseph S. La Bay, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1914.\nReversed.\nOpinion filed April 10, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Ellen L. Norton, plaintiff, against W. J. Peer, defendant, in forcible detainer to recover possession of a barn. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff, defendant brings error.\nPlaintiff was the owner of a lot on which was a residence, No. 4352 Calumet avenue, and a barn. For some years she had occupied the entire premises as her home. In January, 1914, she made a written lease to defendant of premises described therein as \u201cHouse known as 4352 Calumet Ave.,\u201d the term to commence May 1,1914, and expire April 30, 1916. Several weeks before the term began, defendant obtained from plaintiff permission to take immediate possession of the barn, and plaintiff removed her electric car therefrom and delivered the barn keys to defendant, who thereafter occupied it with his motor car. It also appeared that at the request of plaintiff\u2019s agent the defendant paid an additional insurance premium which was required on account of the occupancy of the barn with a gasoline car. There were also provisions in the lease which indicated that all the buildings on the lot were included in the demised premises.\nAbstract of the Decision.\nLandlord and tenant, \u00a7 34 \u2014when lease of designated house construed as Including barn on premises. In an action of forcible detainer by a landlord against a tenant to recover possession of a barn, evidence held sufficient to establish that it was the understanding between lessor and lessee that the premises demised should include the entire lot with all the buildings thereon, the court taking the character of the neighborhood into consideration, and it appearing that the premises were described in the lease as a house known as a certain street number, that defendant obtained permission from plaintiff to take immediate possession of the barn thereon several days before the term began, that plaintiff removed her electric car from it, that defendant occupied it with his gasoline car, and that defendant paid an additional insurance premium required on account of the presence of a gasoline car in the barn.\nWilliam Friedman, for plaintiff in error.\nNo appearance for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
