The writ of distress was properly issued under s.5 of the Distress Act 1951; the defendant's substantive grounds based on absence of a written tenancy were unreasonable given the evidence of an agreed tenancy and the defendant's contribution to its informality; the defendant's late filing of a replying affidavit was an abuse of process and was expunged; accordingly both applications to set aside the writ and to suspend execution were dismissed with costs.
