We copy the following from the Erie
Dispatch in regard 10 suit now or
trial before the U. S. District Court at thai
place:
(1n the Circuit Court.) George Barker
We. Dale, ct. al. Ejeciment for oil territory
Spencer ~ Marvin ard Curtis for plaintiff
and Cutler ard Morcy for defendants.
The case was one more of law than o.
evidence, the main facts being undsputed.
Fromsthe evidence given we condense The
following: On the sth of December, 1865,
lease was granted by Alanson Clark, ol
Evans, TO George Barker, of Fredonia, fol
mere nominal consideration. granting
him the ure OF tho land for 25 years, TO
bore for oil or other minerals, on five acres
OF territory, theTproperty Of Clark, near
Miller Farm, Fenaneo county. specifca-
tlon in the case being that said mining
operations be commeUced before the first
day of April 1866. This speculation was
not complied With, and about three years
subsequent to the letting OF the original
lease, no Improvements having been made
on the land, Alahson Clark leased one acre
OF tAe came property to Hiram NJ. Dale, on
which Mr.. Dale bored and found prodlc-
Ing oil well. On the 18th OF Fetruary, 1860,
the plaintiff in this suit paid his first per-
sonai visit to the property, and exhibited
to those be found in possession, the lease
obtained from Mr.. Clark. granting him the
right to nse the same land. The present
suit was 10 decide the question at law, the
facts being admitted, whether the non
performance Of the covenant or corsdera-
ton to bore for oil on the territory as speci-
fed, would or wonld not interfere with the
claim OF the lessee to the use of the proper
ty and right 10 enter on the same for min
ing purposes, at any time during the limit
Of twenty five years, as set forth in the
lease.
TIE plea of the defence was that the oils
and other minerals specified, unmined, were
incorporeal heraditaments. and that as such
property was not seizabe by sheriff, the
writ of eject could not lie. Mr.. Cutler
read several authorities in support OF this
view His argument was not concluded at
2:5O when Court adjourned until ten o'clock
this day.
