SUIT OVER LAND 4x11 FEET.
Cooper Estate Seeks to Perfect Title Near
Old Homestead.

Suit has been brought to determine the claim
to a bit Of land xii feet in the block in
which stands the old Peter Cooper homestead
at the southeast corner of Fourth-ave. and
Twenty eighth-st. The piece of land involved
is on the Twenty seventh-st side Years ago
it was given as an easement for the benefit Of
an adjoining house, affordng it a yard, light
and air The Cooper family subsequently
bought both lots, and it was supposed owned
the easement. 1t has been found, however,
that twenty-four heirs could claim some sort
of al interest.
The Cooper estate recently took steps to
clear the title. Twenty-three heirs willingly
gave releases. 4 woman, it was said last night,
held off some time because a liquor store was
near by and she objected 20 1t on principle
She signed later and this left only one heir
standing out 1t proposed to give her 500
for a release, but the attorneys for the Cooper
estate refused to make suCn an offer, saying 1t
was unfair to the other heirs who had gratui-
tiously relinquished their rights in the little
piece of ground. This woman is not expected
to defend the suit. The old Peter Cooper home
stead, so long landmark in New-York City. is
in way affected.
