The sole question is whether at the time the Act came into force the defendant can be described as a tenant against whom a suit in ejectment has been instituted. It is not contended that those words can bear the extreme meaning that any tenant against whom a suit in ejectment had even been instituted--a suit which might have been brought to a completion by execution and ejectment--is within these words of Section 9; but it is contended that it applies to a case where the suit in ejectment has resulted in judgment but has not been executed of completed by the process of ejectment. It seems to me that that contention is fight and that the tenant intended by the section is a person who is threatened with ejectment as the result of legal proceedings instituted against him but has not in pursuance of those proceedings been actually ejected.
