DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF SMITH, V. SMTTA.

Nli.Serjeanti3es-r• stated, that this was an Adion
of ejeCtment, to recover the possession of a mill and
other premises, at Hunton, in the parish of Abbots
Langley, in this County. The Plaintiff claimed as
heir at law of one Richard Smith,. who was possessed
of the same premises: in the year i76r. And he also
claimed on another ground, as being the mortgagee
of the same premises, under a mortgage deed by the
sime Richard Smith. • The Defendant claimed under
letters of administration to the effeEls of the same
person ; but his Lordship would inform the Jury,
that letters of administration could not affect the
real estate, but only give a title. to personal pro.
perty ; he accordingly put in a deed of conveyance,
dated in 1/63, which conveyed the premises in
question to Richard Smith.—Joseph Reeve proved
the descent of the Plaintiff, that he was the grand
nephew of Richard Smith. Mr. Serjeant SHE?.
FARD admitting that he had no answer to this case,
the Plaintiff had a verdi'd.

DOE AND STEPHEN COLLINSON v. ROSE.

Mr. Serjeant BEST stated, that this was also an 1
glint) of ejeament, to recover the possession of two
cottages and gardens, at Oldbury, in this County.
The PlAntiff in this case also claimed as: heir at law
of one W. Collinson, .who was the purchaser of
them. The deed by ,which William Collinson pur-
chased the premises was put in and read.—Sarah Free-
man, sister .to Wm. Collinson, proved that the pre-
sent claimant was his heir.at law.—Robert.Bowyer
said that he knew W. Collinson in his life-time.. He
died in the year 1790. About a year before his
death, the witness.went with him to Oldbury, and
they planted 42 or. 14.. trees in the orchard ;
.and in
the evening the tenants of the cottages came and
drank with them at the public-house.
M. Serjeant SH EPP ARD contended that there was
no eyidlenee_ whate.yer .of the possession of William
Collinson. It was
.easy -to produce a deed of con-
veyance, but he thought same possession should be
shewn under it. A man might go and plant a few
trees in leis neighbour's orchard, and the person
who received_such. an aft of kindness would very
willingly drink with his benefaaor ; that was tile.
whole of-the present. case, for they ha&each shewn
a single a&, by which the tenants had recognized.
Collinson as their landlord.
The Learned Judge•held that the planting of trees
was sufLient evidence of ownership in a mere pos.
sessory adt.ion.

His Lordship tvi,ll ,proceed to , business in the
Crown Court at seven o'clock this evening.
