The court yesterday was engaged
in hearing, before the court, the case
of Sarah E. Bradley, ct al, vs.. james

the land where the town of Smithton

tered by Lucy A. Price. In 1853
Mrs. Price and Ter husband sold the
eighty acres to her brother, Thomas
W. Edwards, on July Is, 1853, and
was put in possession of the property. |
In 1857 Edwards sold the land to w. |
E. Coombs. The next year Mr..
Coombs laid out the town of Smithton. |
The plaintiffs reside in the state of
California and are the only heirs of
Lucy A. Price. The defendant pur-
chased a town lot of w. E. Coombs. |

Price died in April, 1875, and Lucy
A. Price died in 1877, and that her
deed to Edwards is not acknowledged
and is not binding.

limitation and that the deed was cor
rected bat was not fled after correc-
ton.
