A landlord was empowered to resume possession of any part of the land demised, in case it should be required by him ‘for the purpose of building, planting, accommodation or otherwise.’ Held, that this did not entitle the landlord to resume possession of land required by a railway company, so as to defeat the tenant’s right to compensation. Held, also, that the word ‘otherwise’ was to he read as being eiusdem generis.
