\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201c[A]n action for the mesne profits is consequential to the recovery in ejectment<\/a>. It may be brought by the lessor of the plaintiff in<\/span>\u00a0his own name or in the name of the nominal lessee; and in either shape it is equally his action. \u00a0But, if the action is brought in the name of the nominal lessee in the ejectment<\/a> suit, the mesne profits can be recovered only since the time of the demise laid in the declaration in the original action of ejectment. If the interest of the lessor of the plaintiff in the ejectment<\/a> suit to the mesne profits has passed to an assignee, devisee, or personal representative of such lessor, the action for such mesne profits may be maintained by the successor of such lessor in his own name or in the name of the nominal lessor in the ejectment suit, under the same rule applicable to the original lessor.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>[3]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
