A tenant defending an action for forfeiture of his lease for non-payment of rent could not in an application for relief from forfeiture, set up a claim against the landlord for breach of warranty. The court was tasked to see if the tenant could discharge the arrears within a reasonable time. Such a speculative possibility could not be taken into account.
