rEe case Of Anderson vs. White was
then taken up. There we're two sllega-
uons in the deolsrRtiOn-one asking for
damages for lumber cut down, carried
of and otherwise disposed OF for the
benefit Of the defendant; and the other
asking damages for rent due for four
years occupation of the premises. The
facts in the case are these: Col. Frank
White leased q tract OF land OF 400 acres,
for clearing it, from g lot of minors,
who were then e0ntesting the sale of this
land In 3 cour Of equity. The sale was
mede by q trustee TO Mr.. Anderson, the
plaintiff ia this suit. The court Of equity
decided in favor of Anderson, who now
sue Col. White for the lumber taken off
the land and appropriated to his own use
during his (White's) occupation.
Under a ruling Of the Court, during
the progress of the case, tho counsel for
the &~yhtiR struck out their second ale
gStlou in the declaration, and only sue
for damages ia regard to the III nber.
From the evidence 1t appeared that the
value of the land had been increased In
stead Of diminished, and that the i'm
provemsnts could be taken IS an Offset
fo- the rent.
The case wss ably argued by Messrs.
Randolph and Graft for ths plaintiff, snd
Messrs. Ciapp and Anderson for the de
PENDANT. Pending the charge of the TRY,
the Court adjourned until ten O'Clock thts
morning.
