MEATH.
In the Land Court. Dublin. on March
IL, Judge Ross delivered judgment in
the case OF Rathbornc's Estate, the ar
gulnents in which had been closed at a
previous sitting. The estate, which is
valued at about $4,000, is situated in
Meath. The case came before the
court to have ii determined who was
the owner oil the estate. which originally
belonged to William Rathborne in fee,
but two settlements were made in re-
spect OF it-one i'll 1906, the other in
1872. Following William Rathbornc,
the estate became vested in Joseph
Rathborne. his grandson, and, on the
occasion OF his marriage, the settlement
OF 1906 took place. At the date OF the
marriage OF Henry Talbot Rathbornc,
son OF Joseph Rathborne, the lands
were re-scttlcd, and out OF these two
settlements grew the question which the
court was asked to dctcrlnnc-the prin-
cipal one relating to the ownership oil
the estate This question was first
raised at the death OF Henry Talbot
Rathborne, the claimants being Joseph
b. Rathbornc, a son OF Joseph Rath-
borne, who claimed as, hcir-at-law. On
the failure OF the trusts to exhaust the
whole property, Joseph Rathbornc. I,
sou OF Henry Talbot Rathborne.
claimed to be tcl,ant-in-tail under the
settlement OF 1912; Brabazon Rath-
borne, who claimed to be entitled to
two charges OF 1000 each. arising I'M
der the settlement oil 1872: and the chill
dren OF Henry Talbot Rathbornc. who
claimed to be interested i'll one OF these
charges. Justice Ross held that Joseph
B. Rathbornc was entitled to the prop
crty as hcir-at-law OF Joseph Ratl,-
borne on the ground that the trusts OF
the settlement OF 1906 had not been cx-
haustcd, He further held that the
charges claimed by Brabazon Ratl,-
horne had been established, and that the
children OF Henry Talbot Rathborne
had established their right to an inter
est in one OF these charges.
