The Fowler Wick SaIt.

Vice Chancellor Leaning has rendered
decision IN the suit of Benjamin F. Fowler
against John R. Wick, enjoining the de-
fendant against erecting hnilding on she
1S-foot alley leading from Broad street 10
tae old Stokes lumber yard.
The complainant claimed al easment Of
light and air, which would be destroyed il
defendants built up to bis South line. In
the trial complainant established that three
windows, one in the first story and swo in
the second, in the present building, ocs
cupied the same position an6 performed the
same service as in the old building, before
alterations were made by the late Charles
w. Starr.
After citing decision Of the Court Of
Errors in similar case, the Vice Chancellor
says: 1t follows that an Injunction may
issue restraining defendant from obstract-
ing the influx Of air and light through the
three windows referred 70 in What was for
merly the main building; but that defend
ant cannot be enjoined from building ada
cent 10 the line opposite TO that part Of the
rear portion of the present bnildiog which
was formerly known as the rear annex.
Complainant also claims right to the
use OF = door in the first story Of the annex
and right Of passage from it over defend
ants land. Whatever right to maintain q
door be may have acquired has been lost b.
its destruction. At presens two doors *
ist, and neither can be asoertained TO o.
cupy the place Of the door which VAS de-
stroyed The claim Of complainant to right
Of way over the land on which defendant
proposes to build cannot be supported
