MANY TITLES VACATED.
Supreme Court Knocks Out About One
Hundred Brambleton Deeds.

Supreme Court Knocks Out About One
Hundred Brambleton Deeds.
|, The Supreme Court of Appeals at
Richmond yesterday decided four Nor
blk cases. The most important one
hssibly, was that of Townsend ct ais.
vs. Outtcn ct ais, better known as the
BNmbleton land suit. This case went
up com the Court of Law and Chancery
in his city last summer. and by the
cours decision yesterday the decision
oil JUICE Martin is affirmed. 1t Will be
remeSbered that the courts decided
some inc ago that the heirs OF Mr..
RobertLovitt (thc Misses LovitO were
the rlShful owners Of half Of the prop
erly iorferly held by Henry and Rob-
ert Lovit, Notwithstanding the prop
erty in QUESTION had been sold to many
people anG improved by the latter.
the queaion then arose as to how
the oriSinalpiece of property should be
divided. TN present holders OF the
Robert LoNit half claimed that they
should not beF the entire loss, but that
the holders " the property bought
from Henry Lo-itt should bear an equal
share with then. This was claimed
because the Loyt: brothers had orig
inaily entered inc n partition deed in
which they covc,anted not to disturb
each other in the possession of their
respective halves. The holders of the
Henry Levitt property claimed that
their half should ut be disturbed, az
Henry Levitt was Inc rightful owner,
while Robert Lovttunder the decision
of the court in favorof the Misses Low
IT'D was not. AS thi contention would
force the holders of 4he Robert Levitt
half out OF their PRIORITY, they claimed
that this disturbance rls Il violation of
the original covenant between the
brothers. TO decide tie matter suit
was brought in the Co,rt OF Law and
Chancery. and Judge Martin decided
that the Henry Lovitt Eoperty should
not be taken in the division Of the
property, but that the Robert Levitt
half should go to the Lovits (Mrs. Hat
tie Lovitt Land and Mrs. Mary Lovit;
mother OF Miss Lovitt, dcca sc(D now
claiming under the decisionof the courts
already referred to. There were some
three hundred parties to he suit--the
present holders Of The two pieces of
property. The lawyers in tbs case were
