LAND TITLES
IN LITIGATION
Title Asked for Property on the
ko0lau Side and in
Honolulu.

| Judge Weaver in the Land Regis
tration Court yesterday began the
hearing of the application of W. R.
Castle, as trustee for T. F. Lansing.
| for registered title to land at Waia-
hole. There are a number of con-
fiicting claims, and a good many con-
troverted issues in the case. The Ter
ritory of Hawaii is interested because
the petitioner claims the fee simple
in the land occupied by two roads
which cross the premises, and that
the Territory has merely right of
way or easement over the property;
also claims to high water mark on the
makai side although his deed names
the mauka line of the road as the
limit of his property, the allegation
being made that the road as at pres
ent located is not as it was when the
deed was given.
Attorney General Hemenway was
present yesterday representing the
Territory.
A. G. NJ. Robertson represents the
claimants of two kuleanas located
within the area Of the land for which
title is asked, and c. w. Ashford rep
resents Sylvester Cullen who claims
land overlapping the boundaries of
the property for which title is asked.
1t is probable that the hearing of the
case will continue for several DAYS.
Two new applications for registered
title were filed in the Land Registra-
n,,a -
plicatfon of Samuel G. Wilder for title
to 2.40 acres of land between Judd
street and Nuuanu cemetery adjoin-
ing Eskbank on the EVA side.
The other application is that of Y.
Amin, trustee, for a registered title to
.415 of an acre of land on the Eva
side of Punchbowl street above School.
