Bleckley, Justice. If by purchase or partnership, a third person aids a tenant to defraud his landlord of rent, knowing of his purpose to do so, it is a tort for which an action at law will lie, and a recovery may be had to the extent of the damage sustained. On the facts alleged in the bill, the demurrer thereto for want of equity should have been sustained. Judgment reversed.
