They received him with seeming re-
spect and listened to his story with
attention. 1t is well known to my
readers by this time. and l will not
repeat it. When he finished, both law
yers observed that he said nothing
about Constance's recognition through
the olfactory s. ise, and they Judged
rightly that he was unaware of it.
They saw, therefore. that 1t bore no
part In bis determination to prosecute
his claims. After the matter had
been discussed at some length. Mr..
Morley said:
Actions against tenants will ap.
ply to your case, Mr.. Hamilton (call-
ing him SD for the-first time), for they
provide for any case where one per
son is in possession of any land or
tenement belonging to another, and
wrongfuily withheld from the owner,
whether the relation of landlord and
tenant ever existed between the par.
ties or not. The plaintiff claims to
be the owner of the estate, Vane
Hamilton. AS such he has a right to

sole issue to be tried is the identity
of the plaintiff with vane Hamilton. "
