Judge Hunt Refuses to Allow Any
Reopening of the Case.

Judge Hunt has disposed of the litigation for
a long time pending over the title to certain
blocks of land in the Potrero commenced by
the Pacific Land Association. The association,
In The name of Attorney Clinton C. Trip,
brought suit against the city and county and
between 5000 and 5000 property owners to de-
termine the title 10 the land in question, situ-
aled In a district known as Mission Creek.
Trfpp, who calls himself The Pacific Land AS
ISOLATION for business purposes, claimed
suuatter's title to the property, but expressed
a willingness TO remove the cloud from buy
er's title TO a lot IN cOnSide alton of the re-
cept OF some small sum of money. 1t was this
that led Judge Hunt 10 declare. when he de-
cIded the suit against Trip some months ago.
that the case strongly resembled blackmail.
Tripp sought a new trial, but Judge Hunt
would not settle his bill OF exceptions.
There were informalties aud the attorney en-
deavored 10 get the Supreme Court TO ISSUE

so, and the litigation over the POtrero property
