landlord. Old rent, f212 los; judicial rent,
El24 los. In another case-same landlord,
same tenant, old rent s24 5s. cd. judicial

game of t'see-saw;;'' but that is just what
the so-called Land Law was designed to
bring about. NJ =
In the Probate Court, Dublin, on April
q, the case of Keogh VS., Cooley came up,
in an action to try the validity of the will
of John Cooley, wao had lived near Round
wood, County Wicklow, and died in 0cto-
Der, 1895. He left about E1,000, and small
house and plot Of land worth about 1900.
The principal legatee under the will was a.
man named Edward Burns, not a relation
Of the deceased, but OF his wife, whom he
had adopted as his daughter. There were
number of other legatees The contesting
defendant, cousin of the deceased, alleged
that the testator did not know the contents
of the will, which was drawn y:Burns. The
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, con-
f1rming the will; but Judge Warren, under
the circumstances, declined to condemn
the defendant to pay costs, which will come
out of the estate.
