TRENTON, Oct. 6, 1S94.--Judge Green
has filed decision in the United States
Circuit Court in which he dismisses the
petition of Mrs. Eva V. Rodgers in the
case of Trenor Luther Park against the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail-
road Company. Mrs. Rodgers had a res
taurant in the Erie depot in Pavonia ave-
nue., Jersey City, and she claimed the re-
ceivers of the road were trying to dis
possess her.
Judge Green declined to interfere as the
matter now stands, but leaves the receiv-
ers to take such action to regain posses
sion of the premises as they may be ad-
vised Is proper and lawful.
The Judge thought that Mrs. Rodgers
was in admitted possession by right of
the sale of the premises by the Sheriff
of Hudson County. Whether that sale
gave her any title to it the Judge be-
/ lieved was not question for court of
equity.
The Judge held that the contract be-
tween the railroad company and James
H. Rodgers must be construed as a
lease. 1t contained a covenant against
any transfer Of the rights and privileges
of the restaurant without the assent of
the railroad company. Rodgers trans
ferred his rights to the place OF Mrs.
Rodgers, the petitioner.

The Court stands Pat.

Mr.. James P. Northrup, counsel for
Mrs. Rodgers, when asked how he con-
strued this decision, said
'If I played poker would say that
the Court stood pat. The decision leaves
us in possession of the property, and
eompels our opponents to go into a court
of law and prove their case from. the
beginning. The Court of Equity refuses
to support our contention, taking the
view that even if we are Illegally ousted,
we suffer no damages, which cannot be
made good in a suit at law.
