PROPERTY DISPUTE.
The Appellate Court Decides Against
c. H. Smiths Claim.
Corner OF Westminster and Mathewson
Streets Is Worth $4,000.

Chief Justice Matteson today delivered
the opinion OF the appellate court in the
case of Chas. IL. Smith VS.. Henry A. Greene
ct al, which suit involved the owner
ship of the estate on which the new
TildenT Thurber building stanos. The
opinion of the court Is opposed to Mr..
Simth, and sustains the view OF the
matter taken by Oscar Laphap,, counsel
for the respondents, that Mr.. Smith was
entitled to only one-half of the estate ana
not to one half ana one ninth as he con-
tended in his bill. The property in
volved In the suit is valued at si40,
600. The decision makes a difference to
Mr.. Smith OF nearly sl6, 900.
The estate, which is known ms the
Learned estate, was devised by Horace
Learned OH Janusry 80, 1874, who, when
he died, had wife and three children.
Mrs. Learned died in 1869 and one of her
children died without issue, and in 1882
the trustee made a distribution of the
estate, which was acquiesed in until n
short time ago by all the parties. The
court in its decision confirms the action
of the trustee and holds that even IL the
trustee might have acted otherwise,
under the provisions OF the will, the
parties interested are estopped from in
terfering with his disposition by their
acquleslnB IN IL ior 30 long time.
Mr.. Smith bought the interest of
George A. Learned, one of the children
OF Horace Learned, the original testator
and as ore of the other children of the
testator died he was left with the heirs
OF George A. Greene to whom Anna
Learned was married, TO divide the prop
erty. When IL was found necessary to
raise money 10 build the new Tilden-
Thurber building some lawyers who ex-
am1ned the title the land raised don bis
as to whether the Greenes really owned
one half OF the property. Taking advan-
tage of the doubts of TIE title examiners,
Mar. Smith filed bill in equity to rccov-
er one-ninth in addition TO his half.
Arnold Green was his counsel.
