LONG LITIGATION ENDED. A very compli
Gated law suit involving the estate of the late
George U. White of this city was settled in
Brockton. Mass, March 23rd. The litigation
has been in progress nearly five years and sew
eral trials were held, all Of which have been
decided in favor of the White heirs. The bene
ficiaries are Mrs. Sarah A. White of Liberty,
Mrs Walter G. Hatch of North Belfast and
Ernest L. White of Brockton, Mass. The
Brockton Enterprise says of the case: ''One
of the longest and most expensive law suits
ever fought in this city was brought to a close
when the suit brought by trustees under the
will of the late George U. White against Wash
burn & Hayward, local cabinet makers, was an
nounced as settled when the case was scheduled
to go on trial in Boston today. Francis W.
Kittridge of Boston appeared for the petition
ers. The suit for possession of certain
land on Montello street brought by the trus-
tees. White executed a lease for 20 years to
Washburn & Hayward with the purchase privi
lego. 1t stipulated that if purchase
price could not be agreed upon committee of
arbitration should decide A committee could
not arrive at decision. Two suits were in
stituted in the Equity court by one Graham
lessee to get possession. Washburn & Hay
ward brought action in equity to restrain
Graham from taking action under the lease. A
counter bill was brought to restrain Washburn
& Hayward from interfering with the occu-
pancy of the land. The matter was taken to
the Superior Court and then reported entire to
the Supreme Court, which decided against
Washburn & Hayward and in favor of Graham
for possession of the land and the White heirs
as owners and denying the defendants in the
original suit the right to purchase given them
under the lease. A suit since 1907 has been
pending to decide the amount due for occu-
pancy of the land since the ejectment suit was
started"
