Tbe principal exception relied on by tbe defendant is to tbe refusal of bis Honor to charge tbe jury tbat tbe plaintiff could not recover because of tbe illegality of tbe contract, in tbat the defendant was a tenant and bad not settled with bis landlord and bad no right to sell or remove tbe peanuts.
We find, however, tbat bis Honor gave tbe defendant tbe full benefit of tbe principle for which be contends.
He charged the jury, among other things, as follows:
“Ordinarily a tenant has no right to sell any part of tbe crop until be has paid bis rents and advances; and a person making a contract with him to buy, knowing tbat be is a tenant and knowing that rents and advances bad not been paid, could not enforce such a contract. Tbe contention of tbe plaintiff is tbat tbe landlord consented tbat tbe tenant should deal with those peanuts.
“Tbe plaintiff contends tbat tbe landlord consented; tbat be bad been bis tenant for some years, and had been in tbe habit of selling tbe peanut *705crop, and tbis year be was selling tbe peanuts just as be bad been doing before, and tbe landlord says be made no objection, and tbe reason tbe landlord took charge was because tbe tenant asked bim.
“If you are satisfied from tbe testimony and by its greater weight that tbe tenant bad tbe consent of tbe landlord to sell tbe peanuts, then you are to disregard their relations as landlord and tenant.”
There was evidence tending to prove that tbe landlord bad given bis consent to tbe sale by tbe defendant, and it was only upon tbis view of tbe case that bis Honor permitted tbe recovery by tbe plaintiff.
