had the right then of giving notice Of his own
ership ana of claiming the land within a Ger
tain time from the moment of their Occupa-
ton. In this case the owner let the required
time slip, and gave notice month OF two too
late, so that by strict law my German friends
had the right 10 retain the land. However.
as 1t had been clearly his, they did not ike TO
Ike what they considered to be unfair advan-
tage of technical point of law, 80 as usual
they went to Barrios and laid the case before
hun. He asked few pertinent questions, SO
as thoroughly to master the details of the
case, and gave his decision at once.
"lou have planted the land in question
with coffee trees which are now old enough to
be of great valueP
Yes"
'Is there any more waste land IN the neigh
borhood?'
'1es, there is plenty just beyond the land
we have taken"
Then" said Barrios, 'you shall keen the
land YOU have planted, and the former owner
shall have assigned to him track of edual
area from the other unoccupied and unowne d
lands
And 80 matter was settled in a few min
utes and without expense which might have
dragged on through the law courts for months
or years
