JUDGMENT
-----------------
1. The defendant had been a tenant for 5 years approximatoly of the plaintiff when on her own admission she cased to pay rent. She has conceded a tenancy. I have heard her and read her affidavits. I have heard a lot more from the appellant than is in her affidavits. Nothing she has said and nothing in her affidavits suggests that the learned Registrar exercised his discretion improperly. On the contrary I am satisfied that the learned Registrar exercised it very correctly having decided that the defence was of the flimsiest nature.
2. The defendant has retained rent since last November so it should be no hardship to comply with the requirements imposed by the Registrar.
3. The appeal is dismissed with costs.
