Interesting and pleasant sight to look

called back 10 memory the happy
hours of childhood. Mr.. Ward and

folks themselves. 1t was an occasion
to which the memory of all who par

THE STEWART ESTATE.

THE FIRST JUDICIAL BLOW TO THE ALLEGED
HMRs-JuDGE VAN voRsT's ADVERSE DE-
cIsroN.
There have been already published in the HERALD
all the facts hitherto developed in the partition suit
brought in the Supreme Court in this city by Aexan
der Stewart and Ann Jane Bailey. through their attor
ney s. f. Knceland for partition of the lands Of the
late Alexander 7. Stewart, the plaintiffs claiming
heirs Of the latter. Among the defendants included
in the plaintiffs complaint was George Munro. who,
since the death OF A. T. Stewart. had purchased a
piece OF property from his widow To the complaint
in the case Mr. Ashbei Green counsel for Mr. Munro,
interposed demurrer on the doube ground that the
Court without Jurisdiction and that the COM
plant did not state facts sufficient TO constitute
of action. Argument on the questions thus
raised had recently before Judge Van Worst the
DO ints whereof appeared in the HERALD at the time
One of the allegations in the complaint Of the al
legged heirs. after stating their relationship to the de-
ceased and the share the estate TO which each claimed
TO be entitled that they "own other lands in
common in this state" This was one of the allega-
tons claimed the part of Mr.. Munro demurrer
to be insufficient on which to sustain the plaintiffs
action. Judge Van Worst rendered his decision
the question yesterday. in which he holds that. in
order TO maintain such action the person asking
for partition must not only have present estate in
the land az joint tenant or tenant in common with
others but he must he in the actual constructive
possession Of his individual share interest. The
complaint he says. fails 10 state in explicit terms
that the plaintiffs in possession of their shares,
that they hold the premises either as joint tenants
or tenants in common with others. The statement
that the parties other lands in common in the
state the Judge says. he does not regard posi-
tive allegation that the lands in question held.
Tho Revised Statutes require that the rights and titles
of an persons Interested shall be set forth Though
rights and titles are in some respects synonymous.
still the Court holds there IL distinction. The
possession of land. actual constructive is right.
and rights In this connection originate In and
modified by the quality Of the title. To constitute
perfect title there must be union Of actual posses
sion tho right of possession and the right of prop
erty. When one seeks to avail himself OF remedial
statute he should. in pleadngs bring himself within
s terms by clear. dintncf. affirmative allegations
The action for partition is not intended for the
cry Of lands held adversely. A subssting adverse
possession IL absolute bar TO the action. The
Judge concludes by giving Judgment for the defend
on the demurrer with leave to plaintiff TO amend
on payment OF costs.
