We have great pleasure in contradictng, on the un-
questionable authority of Gen. Sir Robert Arbuhnot the
courageous equestrian himself the statement conveyed
in the last period Of this paragraph. That distinguished
gentleman has been good enough give his own

OPINION IN THE ANTI-RENT CAsEs.-At the
last term Of the Court Of Appeals Of the State Of
New York an opinion was delivered by Judge
RuGGLEs in the cases before that tribunal involving the
validity of perpetual leases with "quarter sale
vations.
The origin Of the controversy is briefly follows: The
large landhoders in the counties Of Albany Columbia,
and Rensselaer, have been in the practice Of inserting in
their leases in fee reservation condition that the
ant upon the sale Of his interest in the land shall pay
the landlord portion Of the price sale money, and
that in case nonpayment the tenants estate shall be
forfeited to the landlord The validity of this condition
has long been the subject Of controversy and the provision
has great discomfort among the occupants Of
the land The question has recently been brought before
the court Of last resort BY which it has been determined
that the reservation Of sale money in such leases is
pugnan the estate granted by the lease and therefore
void.
The decision applies only to leases in fee perpetual
leases and does not affect similar reservations in leases
for lives years.
This decision Of the Court Of Appeals confirms the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court and possesses therefore
the additional weight to be derived from the
OF the two highest judicial tribunals in the State
Ner Fork Post.
