TO suINAAIzE.
Here the allegations ceaas to be identical, and
the bills separate. The story loses it's connect
edness and becomes uninteresting. Without
wearying the reader with long statement Of
dry facts which have lost their freshness from
this point, we may summarize what follows, by
stating that it shows in detail tho length. and
breadth, and depth OF all the preceding allega-
tions, and calls the Court to give relief in all
the matters related. It is not necessary to re-
peat the particular legal processes prayed for ;
it is sufficient to know that the heirs OF John
Bostwick have gone into chancery for the owner
ship Of the entire lands named, and taken tho
whole Of the owners with them. The following
