The following cases were disposed
of during the week:
No. 54.-Orrin Stevens VS.. Thos. l.. Rob
iusou. Real action 90 recover land in Ok
ford village. Polly Davis once owned the
premises, and conveyed them without con-

vent, and AFTER her death an administrator
was appointed and the land inventored as
the estate of deceased on account OF the
conveyance being fraudulent In law as
against existing creditors; the administra-

plaintiff claims to recover under II. s. CHI.

After the facts were developed the case
was made ''law on report" and went for
