Without discussing the grounds of the motion, which related to irregularity of service of notice and filing affidavit, it is enough to say that the motion came too late when made after the cause was reached for trial.\nThe notice upon which the cause was placed upon the short cause calendar, was served upon appellant on April 27th, was filed upon April 28th, and no motion was preseated to strike the cause from the calendar until June 21st following, when the cause was called for trial. The court properly refused to entertain the motion at that time. Treftz v. Stahl, 46 Ill. App. 462; Johnston v. Brown, 51 Id. 549; Oliver v. Gerstle, 58 Id. 615; Stewart v. Carbray, 59 Id. 397; Wheatley v. Chi. Trust & Sav. Bank, 64 Id. 612.\nIt is also contended that notice to appellant and demand were essential before there could be a right of recovery of possession because of non-payment of rent. But the terms of the lease expressly waive notice and demand, and hence none were necessary. Espen v. Hinchliffe, 131 Ill. 468.\nAppellant having held over, and appellees having recognized him as a tenant holding under the lease, its provisions must be treated as controlling. Goldsbrough v. Gable, 152 Ill. 594; Condon v. Brockway, 157 Id. 90.\nWhatever rights under the lease were in the original lessor, were vested in its grantees, the appellees, by reason of the conveyance of the premises and by force of the statute. Rev. Stat., Chap. 80, Sec. 14; Thomasson v. Wilson, 146 Ill. 384.\nNor is the decision in Sexton v. Chicago Storage Co., 129 Ill. 318, relied upon by appellant, to be regarded as holding to the contrary.\nThe announcement of the rule of the common law, that the right to enter for breach of condition subsequent could not be alienated, can not be taken as a construction of section 14 of our statute in relation to landlord and tenant. The effect of the decision, so far as it touches upon the question here considered, is to distinguish the right of re-entry, transferred to the grantee by force of the statute, from a reversionary interest, and it does not at all hold that such right of re-entry is not transferred by operation of the statute.\nIt is also urged that the description of the premises in the verdict is incorrect. The verdict follows the description in the complaint, as it should; and it does not matter what the description may have been' in the instruction given to the jmy directing a verdict. It is enough that the verdict is right.\nThe fact that the receipts for rent were given in the name of one of the appellees only, is not material. It is undisputed that the agent who collected acted for all the appellees.\nThere was no evidence which could have warranted the jury in finding the issues for appellant. Upon-the evidence appellees were entitled to a verdict. Hence the peremptory instruction directing the jury to find for them was proper.\nThe judgment is affirmed.", "type": "majority", "author": "Mr. Justice Sears" } ], "attorneys": [ "F. L.

Trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County on appeal from Justice\u2019s Court; the Hon. Richard W. Clifford, Judge, presiding. Verdict and judgment for plaintiff; defendant appeals.\nHeard in this court at the March term, 1898.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed May 9, 1898.\nStatement.\nThis is an action of forcible detainer brought by appellees to recover possession of premises held by appellant.\nAppellant entered into possession of the premises August 1, 1894, under a lease made by the National Brewing Company, then owner, which lease demised until April 30, 1895, and contained a provision for an extension of one year beyond that time, at the election of appellant, the lessee. The lease contained a provision that if default be made in payment of rent, it should then be lawful for the lessor, or its legal representatives, \u201cwithout notice to declare said term ended, and to re-enter said demised premises, or any part thereof, either with or without process of law.\u201d And in the clause providing for suit by lessor to recover possession, and for confession of judgment therein by lessee, it is provided that the lessee is \u201c hereby expressly waiving all right to any notice or demand under any statute of this State relating to forcible entry and detainer.\u201d\nAppellant elected to extend the lease after April 30,1895, by remaining in possession as lessee. On March 31, 1896, the National Brewing Co., the lessor, conveyed the premises and assigned the lease to appellees. Appellant paid rent to the agent of appellees from that date until December, 1896, at the rate provided by the lease, and was informed that the collection was made by such agent for appellees. It is not disputed that the December, 1896, and January, 1897, rent was unpaid. For this non-payment of rent appellee elected to treat the term of the lease, i. e., its extension by holding over, as ended, and on February 13, 1897, they brought this suit before a justice of the peace to recover possession. The trial in the Circuit Court was upon appeal from a judgment of the justice of the peace in favor of appellees.\nThe cause was placed upon the short cause calendar in the Circuit Court upon April 28, 1897. It was reached for trial upon June 21, 1897. . A motion was then made by appellant to strike the cause from the short cause calendar, which was denied. Upon the trial, the Circuit Court at the conclusion of the evidence instructed the jury to find for appellees, the plaintiffs there.\nF. L. Salisbury and H. P. Sinden, attorneys for appellant.\nWinston & Meagher, attorneys for appellees; Ralph Martin Shaw, of counsel.\nAppellees contended that a motion to strike a case from the short cause calendar comes too late when it is made when the case is called for trial.

App. 462.\nIt is a well-established rule of law that where a tenant remains in the premises after the termination of the lease, it will be presumed that he remains there under the terms and conditions of the original lease.
