[Sheriff of Fife.
The appellant, tenant of certain brewery buildings, the property of the Earl of Elgin, at Bruce-haven, Dunfermline, brought this action in January 1881 to have the Earl ordained to repair the subject of the lease, or failing his doing so, for authority to do so at the Earl's expense. The lease, which was dated in January 1880, between the parties provided that the landlord should make certain specified repairs on the malt barns, the tenant agreeing thereafter to accept the whole subjects as in “sufficient habitable and tenantable condition and repair.” The appellant alleged that the stipulated repairs had never been made, and this the defender denied. The Sheriff-Substitute ( Gillespie) assoilzied the defender. The Sheriff ( Crichton) adhered; and the Court affirmed the decisions of the Sheriffs.
