James Dellett, deceased The court named
May 81.
George NJ. Hillman applied for survey
ors to lay out an extension to a street in

Judge Gaskill announced that he had
affirmed the Judgment of the court below
in the case of Hughes VS. Abramowitz.
The contest over the proposed distribu
ton of the estate of Owen Gallagher, de-
ceased, of Mount Laurel, was next brought
up by Samuel K Robbins, of Moorestown.
Gallagher died in 1885, leaving widow
and six children. By his will he left his
widow life estate in the property with
the power to dispose of it by will In the
event of her dying intestate it was pro-
vided that the estate should be divided
equally among the children. 1t so hap
pened that she failed to make WILL and
died in 1896, and arrangements were ac-
cordingly made for the distribution of the
estate equally among the children.
The personal property was appraised at
| 81, 700, but no record of this was filed, and
| by an agreement entered into, Richard
and John Gallagher agreed to take it all
at the appraised value. The lands were
also partitioned and sold, and an order
was now asked to have the moneys re-
ceived from such sales paid over to the
I heirs, and allowance to be made for
amounts due some of the heirs by virtue
of certain agreements entered into be-
| tween them. One Of the heirs, however,
alleges that there was misrepresentation
used to secure one of these agreements the
nature of which was not fully explained.
Under the circumstances it is likely that a
suit in Chancery will be necessary to set
tie the difficulty, and, in the meantime
the commissioners will make no distribu-
ton of the moneys in their hands until
ordered by the court
Judge Miller opened the Circuit Court
on Wednesday, calling the suit of Thomas
w. Mares and Catharine Coles VS.. George

and when they found he wanted to re-
main for another year they tried to get rid
of him. as they didn't consider him de-
sirable tenant. Mrs. Coles thereupon sold
the farm to her son, who tried to take pos
session on the 1st of March, but failed, as
Lloyd said he was going to remain for
another year. Then they began the eject
ment suit. The jury rendered verdict
in favor of Lloyd
