    §  815.  Judgment  in  action  for  waste against tenant of particular
  estate.  If the plaintiff recovers in an action for waste, other than an
  action brought as prescribed in section 817,  the  final  judgment  must
  award  to  him  compensatory damages. Where the action is brought by the
  person next entitled to the reversion and it appears,  in  like  manner,
  that  the injury to the estate in reversion is equal to the value of the
  tenant's estate or unexpired term, the final judgment must also award to
  the  plaintiff  the  forfeiture  of  the  defendant's  estate  and   the
  possession of the place wasted.
