Alleged Fraudulent Mortgage.


Before Judge Gilbert
FrtnE G Co. Us. Sigerson CO.-This action was
brought to have foreclosed mechanics lien on ten
houses IN Penn street. The houses were erected by
plaintiffs under contract for 0,500, and they re-
ceived $34,5oO only. They therefore claim the
balance, $4,000. and bring suit to recover 1t. The
defendants claimed that they had settled with plain
tiffs by giving them bond and mortgage for $4,000
on seven OF the houses. The Dlaintins showed on
the trial. however, that the defendants gave the
mortgage fraudulenty, declaring 1t to be a third
mortgage, whereas, III fact, the property was mort
gagged already to its full value. Plaintiffs therefore
to foreclose their lien, which is still unsarshed.
Decision reserved.

Walsh Us. Nge,'son, Gc.-Plaintin brings suit to
foreclose mortgage OF $4,000 on the property men,
toned in the above stated case, and claims that the
lien Of Fruin Co. lwho also defendants In the
present case) occurred after the lien OF their mort
gage, inasmuch as the mortgage was delivered into
and recorded previous TO the nlng Of the lien. The
defence is that the lien was filed two hours before
the mortgage was recorded and Is therefore entitled
to priority. It was shown that the mortgage was
taken to the Registers office by the morgagor, who
recorded IL for the benefit of the mortgagee. Deci.

Mr.. Boardman argued in favor Of the motion, and
In support of IL read quantity OF testimony taken

Marshal Sharpe argued on his own behalf, and
read an affidavit OF his Own In which he stated he
never declined to have the witnesses sworn on the
taxation or costs herein recalled for the purpose OF
CrOSs-examinatlOn; but he declined to give an
opinion on the subject, stating that If the witnesses
were present he should cross. examine them. He
objected to the taking OF evidence except notice
was given to himself and he declined offer proofs
on the taxation on his own behalf until he should
have an opportunity to cross.examne the witnesses
who had been sworn against him without notice TO

Sharpe said all this delay was OccaslOned by Regis

not have been made, more especially as the Mar.

The British Census Returns.

Thirty-two thousand men began on
the Sd instant to take the census re-
turns of Great Britain. An interesting g
circular from the Registrar General,
concerning this enumeration, contains
the following .....- zasas .. .....
The first census was taken under Mr..
Pitts Administration in 1901. 1t was
the year of the Union with Ireland /; a
year of famine, and year of sanguina-
ern Confederacy for its allies. England
in 1871 will take her. census in peace.
The population of Great Britain was es-
timated at $4,000 in 1851. Manufao
lures and the large towns increased, but
emigration was commencing, and some
country villages were deserted in the
last half of the century. @ DIR. Price
contended that there was an absolute
decay of the population. 9 This gave
rise to a protraeted controversy which,
in the critical state of the country, it
was important to clear up. The popu-
lation of Great Britain was hence emu
merated in 1901, and amounted to
10,834, ,623, which with that of Ireland,
made above 16, 100000. This was a tr1-
umphant reply to the doubts of those
who despaired of their country. Not
withstanding the war, the population
in creased, as the census showed, at the
rate of two or three millions every ten
years until 1S41. Then immense emf
grations took place thereawas a de-
populating famine in Ireland, which
had an imperfect Poor Law, and cholera
was epidemic; yet the population of
Great Britain increased, and although
the population of Ireland fell off, the
enumerated people of the United King
dom, including the islands in the British
Seas, amounted to 27,724,84 in 1851,
and to 2e.321 ,288 in 1851. Since those
dates there have been great emigra-
tions, but the marriages have increased,
the births have exceeded the deaths,
and the mortality of the towns have
been diminished by sanitary measures.

The Petroleum Regfons7Thefr Present
-. - 70 Condition. ..--L y

The Titusville Herald sums up the
condition of the petroleum region at
the end of March. The production of
oil during the month of March shows
an average daily decline for the month
of nearly 900 barrels, or 1881 barrels
per day against 1881 in the month
preceding, and a total yield for March
of 419,468 barrels. With few excep-
lions there was steady decline in the
production Of nearly every tract in the
region, which though not large in any
single locality, aggregated the amount
mentioned throughout the producing
districts. The largest increase for the
month occurred in the vicinity of Pit
hole, and at this point did not exceed
10, barrels per day. In the vicinity of
Housewife several farms show slight
increase, but this was counteracted by
the falling off on other tracts in that vi.
scinity, which was greater in thesaggre-
gate than the increase. A large num-
ber of farms show no change in the pro-
duction, while others vary SO little as
not to require mention nS''- ass Il;
AT Parker's Landing the number of
drilling wells increased considerably
during the month";. and developments
are progressing in Westerly and South
| westerly direction, while the completion
of several good paying wells in the VII
cinity of Bear Creek has kept up the
production in this district, and shows
the limits of this territory are far from
| being defined as yet. and from the de-
velopments in progress, there is reason
| to believe that this will be one of the
most important oil fields for months to
come, and the production in all proba-
bility main tanned at its present figures
throughout the coming summer. 1852
The shipments of petroleum by rail
and river, during March, exceeded those
of February by about forty-one thousand
barrels. Following is recapitulation

Mr.. Darwin's Experience with Monkeys
and Snakes.

and Snakes. e.
In "The Descent of Man, Mr.. OAR
win gives this account of some of his
experiments:
Brehm gives a curious account of the
instructive dread which his monkeys
exhibited towards snakes;. but their
curiosity was so great that they could
not desist from occasionally satiating
their horror in most human fashion,
by lifting up the lid of the box in which
the snakes were kept. I was so much
surprised at his account that took 8
stuffed and coiled-up snake into the
monkey house at the Geological Gar
dens, and the excitement thus caused
was one of the most curious spectaoles
which 1 ever beheld. Three species of
Cercopithecus. were the, most alarmed :;
they dashed about their cages and ut
tered sharp signal cries of danger,whieh
were understood by the monkeys and
one old aAnubis baboon- alone took no
notice of the snake. / then placed the
stuffed specimen on the ground in one
of the larger compartments. After a
time all the monkeys collected around
it in a large circle, and staring intently,
presented a most ludicrous appearance.
They became extremely nervous SO
that when a wooden ball, with which
they were famlllar as play thing, was
accidentally moved in the straw, under
which it was partly hidden, they all in
stantly started away. These monkeys
behaved very different when dead
fish, a mouse, and some other new OBJ
ject was placed in their cages; for
though at first frightened, they soon
approached, handled, and examined
them then placed live snake in a
paper bag, with the mouth loosely
closed, in one of the large compart-
ments. One of the monkeys imme-
diately approached, cautiously opened
the bag little, peeped in and instantly
dashed away. Then I Witnessed what
Brehm had described, for monkey after
monkey, with head raised high and
turned fon one side, could not resist
taking momentary peeps into the up
right bag, at the dreadful object lying
quiet at the bottom. It would al
most appear as if monkeys had some
notion of geological affnities, for those
kept by Brehm exhibited a strange,
though mistaken, instructive. dread of
innocent lizards and frogs An orang,
also, has been known 10 be much
alarmed at the sight of turtle.
