ham Kise, deceased, vs. Holdron Hewitt.
One James Kise recovered judgment

uel B. Kise, surviving partner Of the late
firm of Abraham Kise and Samuel B.
Kise, and under an execution issued upon
this Judgment, the defendant, as consta-
BILE of the county, levied upon and sold
some personal property. The plaintiff
claimed that the property levied upon and
sold was not partnership property, but
was the individual property of Abraham
Kise, and brought an action of trespass
against the constable. The only question
was as to the true ownership of the prop
erty. Verdict for plaintiff, $67.56.
Charlotte ii. Yawger VS.. Elias w. Ha-
yer. The parties owned adjoining farms,
and the defendant cut and used some trees
near the division line, which both parties
claimed. The action was trespass, aud
the question was as to the true location OF
the division line. 1t was admitted that
the division fence had been located and
acquiesced In for more than twenty years,
and the Court declined to hear any testi-
mony as to the line Of survey. A large
aud valuable poplar tree taken by the de-
PENDANT was shown to have stood on the
plaintiffs side OF the fence. Verdict for

William V. Cooley VS.. Samuel 8. Van
Horn. This was suit TO recover one
quarters rent for store in Lambertvile.
The defendant had been tenant Of the
plaintiff for some years, and In the Fall of
1891 the parties were negotiating about
the rental OF the store for another year.
The plaintiff claimed that there wasa full
and compile contract under which the de-
PENDANT was to rent for one year from
April l, 1892, for $40o, payable quarterly,
and that lease was prepared and handed
to the defendant, who promised to sign It..
The defendant insisted that there was no
contract; that be told the plaintiff he would
not rent unless the plaintiff would agree
to put In gas fixtures and water pipes, and
also allow him the privilege OF sub-lettiug
the premises; that he declined to sign the
lease because no such covenants were con-
tanned 10 1t. On the last day of December
the defendant sent word to the plaintiff
that he would not take the store. The
defendant had purchased a store roperty
on December 2sth, and 1t was contended
that until after that purchase there was no
pretence on his part that the bargain was
not complete. Since April first the store
has been unoccupied. Verdict for de-
PENDANT.
