(k) The statute, 4 Geo. II., c. 28, gives double the yearly value of the Stat. 4. G. premises to be recovered by action of debt, where the tenant shall not II., c. 28. quit, pursuant to his landlord's notice, which notice need not set forth that the landlord will insist upon double value, as the act enables him to recover the same without such statement; but it may be inserted in order to show what he considers as the double value of the premises, and of which, the rent in general is the true criterion.

I hereby give you notice forthwith, (or say, on or before, &c.,) to put into good and sufficient tenantable order and repair, all and every part of the premises which you hold of me, (or as the case may be,) under an indenture of lease, bearing date the

(m) A forfeiture incurred by the breach of a general covenant to keep the premises in repair, is not waived by a notice given under a covenant to me pair within three months.-Roe d. Goatly u. Paine, 2 Camp. 520. But it is a question, whether the acceptance of rent which became due subsequently to a forfeiture, by not repairing within three months after notice, is not a bar to an action of ejectment.-Fryer d. Harris r. Jeffreys, 1 Esp. Where a landlord, finding the premises out of repair, gave the tenant three months' notice to repair, pursuant to his covenant; it was held, first that he could not maintain ejectment for a forfeiture, until the thre months had elapsed; and second, that the notice was a waiver of the breach of the general covenant to repair.-Doe d. Morecroft - Meux, 7 D. & R. 98. 4 B. & C. 606. 1 C. & P. 346.

It seems a right of re-entry acquired by an omission, to repair three months after notice is suspended, but not waived, by an agreement, to allow the tenant further time to repair.-Doe d. Rankin r. Brindley, 1 Nev. & M. 1. 4 B. & Adol. 84.

The right of re-entry will not be waived when the suspension has been by agreement or so, nor is it waived by the acceptance of rent sccruing due before the expiration of the three months.—Id.
