THE OWNERSHIP OF A SHARE IN THE SALISBURY
 ORE BED.
 A case in equity which involves some inter 0sting questions of law has been on trial be- fore the United States circuit court, Judge Shipman.
 Prior to 1784, Robert Livingston, the last lord of the manor of Livingston, died seized of an undivided half of tract of land of 100 acres in Salisbury in this state known as the ''Ore Bed"-the widely known property from which iron ore has been taken for many years, for the manufacture of the celebrated Sails bury iron. This undivided half passed by his will to his four sons, Walter, Robert Cam bridge Henry, known as ''General Henry, and John as tenants in common, Ithat is one- eighth to each. In 1784, the proprietors of the ore bed were incorporated, and General Henry who had acquired hls brother Walters one eighth by deed was agent of the corporation and so continued till 1923, having the full title to tUo-eights of the bed. General Henry died and gave his interest by will to his nephew, Henry Livingston of Claverack, son of John. This Henry was appointed agent of the cor poration and SO continued till his death. He devised his interest to his son Henry, called
 
 and brothers-in-law. These deeds show that these grantees claimed to own by virtue of their purchase thrse-eighths of the bed.
 In 1844 and 1847, the legislature altered the charter, declared the property to be personal estate and that the corporation should issue certificates of stock to the proprietors in the proportion of their interest in the ore bed. Certificates for three-eights were issued to the representatives or purchasers of the Henry Livingston stock, and dividends have subse- =quently been paid to the holders of the cer- tihcates. John Livingston's residuary lsgatee was his son Herman, whose residuary legatee was his son Herman T. Herman T. now claims the one-eighth which his grandfather inherited by will from Robert. No deed from John is on record. The plaintiff says that the occupancy of the land to 1s44 was in the CO., tenants of John and Herman, and no adverse possession could be gained, and that General Henry, and Henry of Claverack were actually the agents of the Livingston interest. The de- fendant says that for ninety years the interest of John has been claimed by General Henry and his successor adversely to John, and that undoubtedly there was sale, or agreement to sell, by John to Henry after their fathers death.
 There are other legal questions in regard to the effect of the non-probate of the wills of John and Herman in this state until 1877, which are interesting only to lawyer. This ore bed was exceedingly profitable for 8 series of years between 1855 and 1870. Latterly it has paid moderate dividends.
