COMMON PLEAS COURT
Judge Thomas Gives Decision

Y. about SO others, heirs of the late
Melissa Hanesworth Anderson. This
suit was heard by Judge Thomas
several months ago. The finding
of the court was in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. In this case suit was
brought to partition lands of Me-
lissa Anderson, the claim being put
lup that they should go one half to
the heirs of her husband George
Anderson, and one-half to her heirs.
The lands had been formerly par
titioned as the lands of Melissa An
lderson, and were bought by E. c..
Crawford, who later sold one-half to
the Brown-Manly Plow Co., and the
other half to. James Fitch. The de-
cision of the court was that it was
ancestral property, and was proper
ly partitioned before. Judge Finley
had been an attorney in the case,
hence the reason for Judge Thomas
presiding.
