Mr. Edlin, barrister, appeared for three of the
defendants, Instructed by Mr. Rutter, and Mr. George
Chitty appeared for Curtis and Waters. Before the
cam wee called on the legal pa Memnon concerned "put
their hands together," and it was soon apparent that
the case would be settled, although up to this time
prepsrations were =Mime for ototing the jurisdiction of
the justices by setting up • claim of right. The case
Reg v. Mouaeley, Q 8., January 23, reported in the
Justice of the Peace, would we believe have been
relied on, and as the facts are rather curious we state
theta here. The appellant In the ease was an attorney
who had advanced the preposterous claim, as lord of the
manor, that he meld shoot over all the lands of the
manor. The jollities held that moth • claim was im-
possible, and that as a lawyer he must have known
there wee so such right. They therefore refused to
ellow their juriedistiou to be ousted on • question of
title, hoard the cam, and convicted the appellant, but
the Court of Queen's Bench quiialmi the conviction on
the ground that although sop-14ot qua lore could
have no legal right to enter upon freehold land, still
there might be sone ground for assumption of right,
such as free warren, or some reservation is the con-
'mance, and the jollies bad tried • question of right on

aril Ibe relieved( rom any trouble or difficulty in themes-we ;
but I think it right to Mr. Seymour, the gentleman who
has taken out these summonses. to show how the mse
has arisen. Mr. Seymour has the shooting over • wen

reversion. Curiously enough Miami is • night to pet
