Syllabus

¶0 1. APPEAL AND ERROR--Assignment of Error--Scope of Review. Where plaintiff in error fails to assign as error the overruling of the motion for a new trial in the petition in error, no question is properly presented in this court to review errors alleged to have occurred during the progress of the trial in the court below.

2. LANDLORD AND TENANT--Relation of Lessor and Sublessee. As between the lessor and sublessee of the original lessee there is neither privity of estate nor privity of contract; the lessor cannot sue the sublessee upon the lessee's covenant to pay rent.

Error from Bryan County Court; Chas. A. Phillips, Judge.

Action by W. G. Montgomery against A. L. Kimbriel. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals. Affirmed.

Edward Howell, J. T. McIntosh, and C. B. Cochran, for defendant in error.

Crook & Kyle, for plaintiff in error.
