It was admitted that the claimant's title was a good one, therefore it was unnecessary to prove it.

The reply was that the Gavarument was prepared to sell land in that vicinity for agricultural purpose An application for the land for build ing purposes at the same price met with a similar refusal; the Government declined to diseless their policy. Mr. Brution submitted that if the land was only worth one sent per foot to the Governmeal, or rather if they won only willing to allow that price, that claimant should be sold similar land by the Government at the same price, or in exchange for his own But the Government had been selling land. land in that neighbourhood at five and six cents per foot and private sales had realicet fooded the surrounding districts, and even in and on June 15, 19:7, her suit for restitution eight, nian, ten, and ever fifteen costs per fool the neighbourhood of Berlin the low lying of conjugal rights was dismissed for want of Bugs resumed its sittings under the presidency
