WIZ P. Kiwi—ACTION OP SIZCTIIIINT.
This was an action of ejeetment, brought to rte.
posesseiou of some property at Breutford, in Middlemx.
Mr. Serjeast Shut and Mr. Prentice appeared for the
plaintiff; and Sir Frederick Thesiger and Mr. Hindorarsh
for the defendant.
The case on the part of the plaintiff was that he was the
nephew and heir at law of one Thomas Kane, under whom
he claimed, who died intestate on the 14th March, 1846.
The delendant was Mary Kane. The question raised was
whether Thomas Kane was the sou of James Kane and
Honors Kane, the grandfather and grandmother of the
plaintiff. James Kane, the grandfather ot the plaintiff,
was living near Skibbereen, in Ireland, in 1801, and there
carried on the business of a tailor. He had five sons,
Michael, the father of the plaintiff. Thomas, who was
brought up so a tailor, Charles, who went to sea, and
Timothy and Peter who died unmarried. Thomas, the se-
cond sou, was apprehended, when 19 years old, on a charge
of stealing potatoes, but escaped from custody, and west off,
not being heard of again until he was met in London by an I
old schoolfellow in 1813, in the company of another wheel-
fellow named Sesbourn. They bad some refreshment, and
talked over old times, remaining together the whole of the
day. They continued their intimacy till 1812. A short
time after young Kane left Skibbereen a young man of the
same of Thomas Kane arrived at Brentford ; he was a
tailor. He had only one sixpence in his pocket when he
entered a publiebouse in that place to obtain some refresh-
ment. In that publiehouse were two brothers of the name
of Sims, who got into conversation with him, and finding
that he was a tailor out of employ, they became interested
in him, and got him a situation with a tailor of the tame of
Haslechwich, at Brentford. He remained with Hasleeh-
wick fee some years, and succeeded him in his busi-
ness. In 1847 he married one Elisabeth Child,
with whom he had some mosey. He had for
some time been known as the " Skibbereen Boy," but in
the course of time he thought the less he said about that the
better, and begged his friends not to mention it as he did not
wish to be troubled by his poor relations. He was careful
of his money, and let it out upon mortgage and discounted
I hills at a remunerative interest, so that he eventually
sUessed a considerable sum of money. He went to the Isle
Wight, where he nut one Charles Kane, who also did
geknowledge any relations, and who had also managed
M serape together some property, and upon his death
Thmas Kane took 0.. t letters of administration, and ob.
edged some of the property. Death came upon Thomas
Imo In 1846, without his having signed his will, whisk
Iseerever he had drawn out. By that paper he left legacies I
to a peat many persons, and to thireen charitable instist-1
Mem He made a Mr. Allen his executor, who, with •1
policeman, took possession of the property. After the lame
of a year, administration was take out by Mr. Mauls, the
Solicitor to the Treasury, on the part of the crown. Mr.
Maul., thought it his duty to make inquiries and
after some time the Kanes, of Skibbereen, were discovered,
and the present plaintiff, the eldest son of Michael Kane,
was brought forward as the heir at law.
A great mass of evidence bearing on this case was ad-
ducted.
Hunt, ose of the witnesses called, stated that he had
been an appoestice of Thomas Kane, and bad lived with
him for sew years. A person of the name of Charles
Kam seed to call upon Thomas Kane, and they used
M tall themselves brothers. No person of the name of
Mary Haas bad ever called there. Although Thomas Kane
kerel to gis 1111 a protestant chapel he was inclined to be a
get‘4lle.
Os Imbigi erost-examined he said that Thomas Kane
mismil /lea sae side of the street to the other. He inund-
ated Is the old home for the downfsl of Buonaparte, and
Itt ei• sow for the Battle of Waterloo. He understood the
Charles Kane who used to call there had been in the navy.
Charles used to stay them two days at a time. Charles was
is a lunatic asylum tor several yams. Witness used to go
and see him while there, and take him clothes and other
things from Thomas. Charles was the first person buried
at Kassa Omen. His remains were afterward, removed
to a grave purchased by Thomas. Thomas and his wife
were buried in the same grave with Charles. They always
appeared very friendly, and Thomas used to call Charles
brother, but Charlie called Thomas Tom. Neither of them
talked about their family. Charles first came about 1811 or
1812.

D...eaumm00—...... came four or fire times. Thomas
lased to ge to the Isle of Wight. Charles came from the
Isle of Jersey.
By the jury—Cberies did not speak with a brogue,
neither didThosess. Witness did not know the brogue,
and did not want. He always thought Thomas an Irish-

masa.
Coarteaay, another witness, was an Irishman, and not
being able to speak English, was enamined by the assistance
of an interpreter. He mid that James Kane, the plaintiff,
