This court ruled in Esty v. Baker, 50 Maine, 325, decided in 1862, that by alienation of the estate by the landlord, a tenancy at will is changed to a tenancy at sufferance. But the plaintiff urges that this rule was changed by chapter 199 of the laws of 1863, (now R. S., chap. 94, § 2,) which provided that “all tenancies at will may be terminated by either party by thirty days’ notice in writing for that purpose given to the other party, and not otherwise save by mutual consent.”
