Harper ana Hanjlmin L. B:aley against
David }. Ey and others, very interesting
decision was rendered by Judge Williams, The
Court said that person possessing the euuitv
right OF redemption cannot SIT up as an cxcus,
for not having redeemed within the stipulated
period the flct that he resided in a Southern
State and that communication with the North
was cut Of b. state OF war; if it appeared al.
50 ;hat he went South voluntarily, and of his
own free will catered the Southern service, and
gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
This decision will be regarded with consd-
cradle interest, for there is a large amount OF
property in this city the title to which is con
tested upon similar grounds. The property
involved in the present suit is situated on
Clark street, tcswecn Harrison and Polk streets

tends in depth to GriswOld street, and is now
