LOCAL AFFAIRS.

AN EIEoTMENr SUIT IN KENT COUNTY The
Milford Ne,1s says that Elisha Greenley of Sus
sex, has begun suit of ejectment in the Kent
County Courts, which will be tried at the pres
ent term, against Mrs. Mary Lohand for the
possession of house at Dover The facts in
the case are thus stated John Purdon in 1916
died and left will, in which he devised the
house in which he then lived to his widow dur
ing her lifetime, and after her death to David
Greenley and his heirs forever. In 1922 the
house was sold by the sheriff as the property OF
DIR. Joseph Sudler, and purchased by the late
DIR. j. p. Lohand, who held 1T until his death,
about 1851 when it came into the POSSESSION OF
his widow, who still resides there. There ap-
pears to be no record of any conveyance of the
property to DIR. Sudler and there is lost link in
the title from the time of the demise of John
Purdon up to the purchase by DIR. Lofand at
sherif's sale, It is not known also that this is
really the house conveyed by John Purdon.
Comegys Il Salisbury have been retained by the
plaintiff, and Smithers and Massey by the de-
fendppt.

sNFRlEs or EoLLE PRosEQUI MADE ON MOTION or
btsTRTCT-ATroRNEy BRITToN-- HIS REASONS FOR
THE HrEP-IuDGE NELSON GRANTS THE APPLI-
CATION
On motion of District Attorney Britton, in the
Brooklyn City Court, yesterday, Chief-Justice
Noson ordered that a nole proseqtU be entered
IN tho matter OF the indictments for libel against
Francis d. Moulton and Theodore Tilton. The
intention of Mr. Britton to make his motion yes
tarday seemed not to be generally known, and
there were only a few persons in the courtroom
beyond the usual number of lawyers and ltigants.
hlr. Britton said it had been his rule, whenever,
lhere has been an indictment pending, the trial
~ which would result in no possible benefit, to
move for nolle pros, in the case. Whether
the accused desires that he bo so tried can have
no legitimate influence upon district attorney
not representing individual interests, but those
Of tho people. He remarked that he thought it
"as suliiclent reparation for man when IN
Justly indicted to have n noiie prOSe4lU entered
by an officer Of the people.
Judge Noilson replied; "The motion is granted
ana think it proper to say recognizing that
the questions involved in such cases rest
largely in the Judgment and discretion of the
prosecutor representing the people, that in this
particular case the views expressed and course
proposed to be pursued by the District Attorney
ate proper, and commend themselves to our
Judgment "a fair aud Just exercise of the dis
'reiion necessarily vested in him."
