tion of ejectment. Mr. Hill appeared for the plainnot

Mr. HILL said that this was an action to recover Pg_g" '
session of certain premises in the parish of Cheshatzt''
near Bury. The farm and premises were originally
property of James Holt, who: succeeded thereto on
death of his father, in 1797, and continued in posseroo°'''
till 18)8. In 1817 he made his will, and devised his P.rr
perty, that in question, to his wife during her natural
if she continued his widow, and after her death with re",''
mainder to his sons Francis and John Holt. What tido
the defendant, who was now in possession, had to the
,
property, be was utterly at a loss to know.'
Mr. BAINES, however, on the cross-examination °I
the first witness, called for the plaintiff, showed °bat
that title was. The witness admitted that the pOrttly
was divided between the brothers, and that after Watt
of one of them, Horrocks married the widow.
The plaintiff was therefore nonsuited.
