are located on very desirable portion OF It.
There are several very knotty and interesting
questions in the case arising out OF the old
Virginia titles. The questions OF descent and
statute OF limitation are also involved. These
points will be contested inch by inch, and the

array OF counsel is engaged on both tides.
The progress OF the suit will be watched with
interest In this city, as o great deal OF Pits
