trial progresses dowiy. VIZ Nrt
The witness rrsnsin has been on TIE stand for
day and has bat just finished his eIsminAtion. He is
an old about 10 years Of age more and former
ly agent and surveyor for the Livngstone His ter
timony consists chiefly Of the defendants acts Of
ershp, exercised BY the Livngstons upon the manor
property and In the Identifying DEFENDANTS maps and
surveys Some Of these surveys very old and there
IL in court made by John Beatty in 7l4 for the pur
| pose Of confirmation. John Beatty Deputy Sur
veyor General at that time The defence In proving
possession and title offered to show by the witness
Trsmsin that the Lvingtons had received the rents,
| Issues and profits Of tke manor.
The Court ruled out this proof not being proof Of
possession and stated that the defendant wished TO
introduce IT, he must lay groundwork for by proving
tenants in possession, paying under lease contract
The defendants counsel excepted to the decision Of
the court All the documentary evidence introduced
by the defendant, and almost all the other proof has
been introduced subject to the objection Of Mr. Van
Buren,. He objects to everything, and all objections
and exceptions noted by the court there Is Of
objections than evidence the minutes The defence
have maps Of the manor containing surveys Of every
hrm, and the of every occupant noted upon
them They also have bundle upon bundle Of leases,
and is generally understood that they intend to
how every part Of the has been occupied
and by whom, and under whom for great many years
back.
Aoncrein Livingston $3.50 p NJ has just been called
and q witness The Court still sustained its
decision and viii not allow defendant prove whom
the rents Issues and profits Of the succeeded
generally that tenants paid the Lvingstons
but viii allow him to prove what tenants paid rents
and to whom.) This witness is Of Peter r. Living
ston and the defence proving the tenants
fifteen twenty and witness rays there are great
many more whose names he does not call to mind
The general opinion Is that the defendant will gain
his This suit will doubtless have great
in Queting the ant-rent excitement in this county
as many who have been most influential in getting and
keeping up the excitement hold titles from the Living
stone, and if defendants title is proved bad theirs
bad also. 1t would In many be great hardship
to have the title proven void great portion Of
lands have passed out Of the hands Of the Lvngstons
to those of the tenants whose farms thus obtained
the all ftheir property The assertion that the State
will deal literally with the tenants, beginning to be
regarded ss = humbug. They too plainly how
closely their interest IL allied to that Of Livingston
There Is telling when the trial win closeit Is
pected that they will sum up the tomorrow |
There Is no certainty, however
