ence OF drink, who were racing their
ponies OH the road, came up at furious
gallop, one OF them striking against the

MEATH.
In the Land Court, Dublin, on March
IL, Judge Ross delivered judgment in
the case of Rathborne's Estate, the ar
guments i'll which had been closed at
previous sitting. The estate, which is
valued at about $4,000, is situated in
Meath. The case came before the
court to have it determined who was
the owner OF the estate. which originally
belonged to William Rathborne in fee,
but two settlements were made in re-
spect OF it-one in 1906, the other in
1872. Following William Rathborne,
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 Rathborne
son OF Joseph Rathborne, the lands
we're re-scttled, and out of these two
settlements grew the question which the
court was asked to dctcrminc-the prin-
cipal one relating to the ownership OF
the estate. This question was first
raised at the death OF Henry Talbot
Rathborne the claimants being Joseph
B. Rathborne, a son OF Joseph Ratll-
borne, who claimed as hcir-at-law. On
the failure OF the trusts to exhaust the
whole property, Joseph Rathborne, d
son oil Henry Talbot Rathborne,
claimed to be tenant-in-tail under the
settlement OF 1912; Brabazon Rath-
borne, who claimed to be entitled to
two charges OF Fl, 900 each, arising I'M
der the settlement OF 1912; and the chill
drcn OF Henry Talbot Rathborne, who
claimed to be interested in one OF these
charges. Justice Ross held that Joseph
B. Rathbornc was entitled to the prop
erty as hcir-atlaw OF Joseph Rath-
borne. on the ground that the trusts OF
the settlement OF 1906 had not been ex
haustcd He further held that the
charges claimed by Brabazon Rath-
borne had been established, and that the
children OF Henry Talbot Rathborne
had established their right to an inter
est in one OF these charges.
