land Leominster, bordering that owned
by the plaintiff, the stipulation in the
conveyance being that the defendants
were not to erect any building nearer

thereon. The plaintiff further alleges
that the defendants are now building an
addition to the store, extending the
same to the street line, and that the
building, if extended will work injury

building, The case IS returnable the
