dian of Edward e. Davidson against

JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANTS.
Same Point Similarly Disposed Of in
Two Cases.

Judge Willis rendered an important decis-
ion yesterday in granting the motion of the
defendants for judgment on the pleadings in
the suit for personal injuries brought by Au-
gustus Dubby against Alfred Dufresne and
Mary L. Dufresne. Plaintiff sued for damages
for injuries sustained by his child in conse-
quence of the breaking down of balcony at
tached to a house owned by the defendants
and leased by them to the plaintiff.
The court granted the motion for judgment
for the defendants the pleadings, holding
that in the absence of a covenant in the lease
providing that the landlord should repair
structures upon the demised premises no liza
biity attaches to the landlord because of &C
cidents arising from a lack Of such repairs.
The same motion was subsequently made be-
fore Judge Willis yesterday in an almost iden-
teal case, that of Laura A. Long against J.
H. Schurmeier, and the same ruling followed.

stated, had already agreed among
themselves upon the conditions of
peace. Germany's hesitation was due
to the fact that the Greek government,
in circular to its representatives at
the courts of the powers, did not form
ally adhere to Cretan autonomy as de-
handed by the powers. Greece subse-
quently gave the necessary assurances
i'll this respect and the German minis
ter at Athens has been instructed to
actively support the efforts of the
powers to conclude peace.
