j. Erastus Lester to Take Back Chill
hurst"
A decree was entered in the Supreme
Court yesterday whereby j. ErasUus Les
ter Is allowed TO redeem his large aud val
liable estate In Johnston known as Hill
hurst"
The estate was sold in 1885 by the Citi-
zen's Savings Bank, under its mortgage,
but the proceedings have proven illegal
and hence void. -fhe point at issue was
WueIucr the auctlOneer Oh INC JOWu was
upon the ground before the expiration OF
the hour, the court having made as law
that when an auction sale is advertised
for an hour certain, the auctioneer must
get upon the ground and do something
by way of opening the sale before another
hour begins. In this case it turned out
that the auctioneer was attending another
auction sale during the whole of the hour
for which this was advertised.

OF special significance yet it Is Of interest.
