ILLUSTRATION OF LAVA good story
was rife in our city this morning, which
serves to illustrate that "possession is nine
points of law" A is rather sharp LAWYER,
and resides next door to B. The houses A
and q. occupy are similar in appearance,
and as they adjoin, are easily mistaken by
comparative stronger. B being out Of
coal, walks to the market, purchases load
for So 80, and sends it home. The man of
whom be purchased mistakes the residence
Of A for that of B, and dumps the coal in
AS yard. The lawyers man sees the coal
IN the yard and gets wheelb barrow and shovel
and puts it into the cellar. B is in "peck
Of trouble" that his coal does not come. and
goes out to find the man from whom he
bought it,
"See here, my country friend, bought
load OF coal of you, and you have not delivs
cred it" says B, as soon as he had found
the collier.
"You bought the load and paid for it, and
delivered it" said the coal dealer.
Here the thought struck B that he saw
coal ia his neighbours (the lawyer's) ward.
and Immediately OWNED the mystery. He
starts for the lawyers Office, and finding him,
thus accosted him:
MIR. A, suppose you should buy load of
coal, and the man should put it in the
wrong yard, what would you require of the
gentleman who appropriated the coal ?"
"Wel, sir" said the lawyer, II should
either make him return the coal or pay the
amount | paid for the load"

his pocket and handed it to B.
