JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

| An interesting case was recently
heard by Squire Kefer. in which
| Richard Cole, of Maytield, was called
| upon to answer charge preferred by
| Andrew Gavin, of Jernyn. Attorney
H. D. Carey represented the plaintiff,
while Attorney p. f. Timlin defended
| the case According to Gavin's state
ment Cole had taken some stone and
several fence posts from his (Gavin's)
property at Mayf1eld. and it was to re-
cover the value Of the property taken
that the action was brought. The de-
fendant admitted taking the fence
posts and stone. which he had pur-
chased from Mrs. Murray. the agent Of
the Mutually estate. which adjoins
Ciavin's lot and who claims half of the
dividing line and fence. The whole
thing finally resolved itself into ques-
ton of title. and the justice of the
peace will render a. decision in the mat
ter at o'clock next Monday evening.
