the RIGHT OF PETITION

Is one that Is held sacred but it nevertheless
may be abused and the communication sent to
the City Council at it's last meeting, BY the Dc
ware Fire Company" we think Is subject 10 this
criticism.
How many Of the members had signed the
petition we do not know, but understand there
were very few names upon II.
The usual course in cases where a company is
raised aud the Money contributed by citizens to
buy an appar Is, and those to whom is is en-
trusted become insOlvent or fail in conducting
their affairs, is to turn it over 10 others; or 1t
might be handed back to the citizens through
their constituted agentf, the City Council, to DO
with IL as seems best. But Il seems hardly fair
to expect the City to step forward aud employ
the services OF company which acknowledges
its inability 10 discharge The duties it voluntarily
assumed.
petition for paid FIRE department, from q
single company, Of this character, 10 city where
there is a half dozen other companies that ART
sctive and energetic, locks very much as though
there was 3 disposition to secure = lucrative posi-
ZION by some Of the more influential members
Suppose the city concludes that the petition re
quires no action, what course does the company
propose? Win they disband and leave the appa
ratus TO be sold BY the credtors; or lock up ihei
house and remain inactive! ItWOuld seem TO nj
that their petition would have sounded better hat
it been for a larger donation, and awaited th'
united action Of the other companies before the!

"rno AnoIens LIah. Case. I.

A case Of great interest Was decided at Dover
the other day, by the Chaneellor. The novelty as
well importance OF the case has caused II to be
much discussed among our citizens generally
whlle the members Of the legal profession lave
regarded it with special interest. 1t involved the
doctrine Of What Is technically called Ancient
Light" that is, as we understand il, the Tisht Of

StigIboY's raeant land. and MAINTAIN them Wnin.
ternptedly for tsOenty gears and spuoGvds, to en-
Joy them erer after lotthOut material diminHion.
In other words, twenty years ure and enjoyment
OF hsht and air gives the user . title to them on
the same, or analogous principles, that ii would
give him title to unimproVed land, IL he should
use it in the same manner for lIKe period.
1t is on this principle that title to q way, q
wAtercOuTSe, and even land itself, is acquired BY
long and uninterrupted use When spilled TO
these We are ell familiar with it bat strange TO
say although this State was settled more than Two
hundred yeaFs ago. ana is one Of the Oldest, Jet
the occasion TO apply it TO Ancient Light never
occurred in our jadicial history until the spring
Of 1871 The principle is well understood IN Eng
land and has been settled law tor centaries; bu
IN some Of the States II has been rejected, whilS
in others the English rule has been adhered ~
