have given rise to long debates, are passed without question.The new subsidies to railways were put through in short order, and, what has happened before, the Conservative members had not a word to say against them.The act, granting pensions to ex-ministers, is to be repealed.The sums voted for the public service go over 70 million dollars.As these are for 9 months, this is at the rate of 90 millions a year.The only measure left to be disposed of that will cause debate is the Sunday rest bill.While in committee last week, it was made clear the French Canadian members are against it, and it is doubtful if the premier will insist on their accepting the measure.They demand that Quebec be exempted from its operation, which would make the bill a remarkable piece of federal legislation.It is unfortunate that a religious complexion has been given to the bill, which is, in reality, designed to protect the wage-arner from being compelled by unscrupulous employers to work on Sunday.When a master on Saturday night tells his men to come back next day, under.penalty of losing their places, it is needful the law step in and protect the workingman in his right to a day of rest.The statement, that there are 150,000 men compelled by their employers to work on Sunday, indicates the extent of the evil.In factories in Montreal, where the invariable rule was entire stoppage of work on Sunday, more and more are being run seven days in the week.Our minister of railways confided to a friend, a Moncton lawyer, that the government meant to enlarge the yard of the Intercolonial railway at that place.The lawyer set to work and secured options on the desired land on his own account, promising to pay $5875 for it.Three weeks later the government relieved him of his purchases, paying him $13,880.The transaction was brought before parliament on Thursday by Mr Ames, who moved that paying a middleman $8505 of a bonus was unjustifiable.The defence by Mr Emmerson was, that the land was value for $13,880, and that there was no corrupt understanding with the lawyer, who had merely profited by his business shrewdness.The motion was rejected by 89 to 46.Brown voted with the government; Walsh and Bergeron with Ames.Owing to a slacking off in the English market, dairy products are not in as active demand, and there is a big decrease in shipments.The opinion prevails in Montreal that the dullness is temporary.The quotations for butter at Cowans- ville are misleading to those who do not understand the conditions that rule there.Among the factories that board, are several much larger than any in this district, and which have established a high reputation for quality.Buyers will always give a higher price for a large lot of butter or cheese of even quality than for a number of small lots, which must necessarily vary in quality and finish.Generally there are one or more buyers who go to Cowansville specially for what these large factories of high repute place on the board, and to get it pay more than thé market quotations.It may be noted in reports of the Cowansville board that there is a great variation in the prices, part going at the top notch and much at prices a good deal lower, Until this district combines its small factories in larger ones and hires the best makers to be ot, outside Cowansville quotations subsidies would be added.The government thinks differently and on Friday asked the house to grant subsidies to 43 railways, involving an outlay of over 10 million dollars.Many of the favored roads are federal enterprises in no sense whatever, being provincial and petty ones at that.Thus a 28 mile road, to connect 8t Constant with the Delaware & Hudson line, is among those favored.Such reckless expenditure can have only one end.Despite its length, the decision of Judge Saint Pierre on the Anderson case will be read by those who have heard of it.His honor keeps strictly to the legal points raised, and does not give the history of this remarkable case as developed in the evidence.The reader of the judgment will ask why was the action so long delayed\u2014why did the heirs not seek a distribution of the estate sooner?The answer is, they coyld not, from being unable to produce either copy or original of the private agreement.The late Laird Anderson was owner of the estate of Candacraig, Aber- deenshire, Scotland.With the consent of his oldest son, the late Alex.Anderson of Valleyfield, he broke the entail and sold the estate.Under the Scotch law, the larger share of the purchase-pri-p went to Alexander, who, in dying, made his mother, his brothers and sisters, his heirs, share and share alike.He had invested largely in property in Valley- field, and to realize it was going to be a work of some time.To facilitate winding-up, the heirs agreed to place the property under the control of the brother who was a resident of Valleyfield, James Tully, securing themselves by receiving from him a document by which he bound himself to account for his sales and divide the proceeds among the heirs.He rendered no account and made no division, and on his death his widow and his two children went on administering the estate, as if it were their own, selling portions as they got satisfactory offers, and using the money as belonging to themselves.The heirs sought to vindicate their rights, but were baffled because they could not prove the private agreement, which had mysteriously disappeared.Thus matters went on, the heirs of James enjoying the proceeds of the estate of their late uncle, until the lawyer engaged in the case, J.K.Elliot, was stricken with his last illness, when be sent for one of the heirs, William, and producing the much sought for paper, said he would give it to him [if he would pay a certain sum.William did so, and finally took out the action which Judge Saint Pierre has decided.There are other incidents connected with this remarkable case which cannot be well given in & newspaper, as they affect parties still living, but which form a story in real life equal to any novel.What tbe heirs will now realize is uncertain, Most of the estate has gone into the hands of third parties and where the precaution was taken of deferring the purchase-prics the payments have been sold.The value of the estate has generally been placed at $100,000.By his decision Judge Saint Pierre fixes it at $70,000.The judgment is an admirable bit of legal reasoning and its conclusions are fully borne out by the facts on which they are based.No improvement is reported in the state of affairs in Russia.Evidence of disaffection in the army is cropping up daily, while the navy is ad- wittedly unreliable.The parliament is growing more bold in defying the Csar and his advisers as it finds itself backed by the nation at large.It takes its main stand om the demand that the estates of the nobles will not be paid at Huntingdon.of Ba à ; 7 oir he divided among the tenants.If - and to some extent Germany also.The leading Jewish financiers in England declare they aregiving no assistance to Russia.The Japs are experiencing trouble in Korea, apparently springing from the aristocratic class.There has been a series of plots and outrages designed to drive the Japs away.The upshot may be the annexation of Korea as part of the kingdom of Japan.ORMSTOWN On Sunday holy communion was dispensed in St Paul's church; 25 persons, including old and young, connected themselves with the church for the first time.In St Paul's church, Sunday evening, the pulpit was occupied by the Rev Mr Strachan of Manitoba, who preached a powerful sermon on the need of missionaries and of funds to carry on the great work the church has undertaken there.The Rev Mr Strachan is a son of Mr Charles Strachan, who was well known to all the old settlers in this vicinity, being at one time a farmer on the Chateanguay, a little above Orms- town.Rev A.McNeil leaves on Monday to take a charge in Gaspe, to which he was appointed by conference.Great preparations are being made by the curlers to ensure that their Dominion day picnic shall be a big success.A feature of the day will be the yacht race, at which some surprises may occur.HOWICK The timely rains and warm weather have improved the prospects of a good yield of hay and-grain in this section.Large quantities of the old hay are being disposed of at prices varying from $6.50 to $8 per ton.Oats are scarce at 1%c per tb, Wild strawberries areabundant, and numerous -pickersdot the fields and sides of the railroad tracks.R.R.Ness has disposed of about 70 head of cattle since his return from the other side.Several farmers are improving the appearance of their farms and buildings in view of the awards to be made by judges.The several schools here closed this week for the holidays.Messrs Lefebvre & Mahon have purchased some 80 square miles of government timber limits, for which they paid from $325 to $350 per square mile.It is said they are doing the business in company with some Americans.The big 12-foot flag floated freely in the breeze on the day of the Howick school exams, and the children saluted it with 8 rousing cheers as they were dismissed.Ste MARTINE On Saturday a convention was held on raising bacon hogs, on the show grounds.In spite of the rain about 150 people attended the meeting in the forenoon and many more in the afternoon.Portable fences and pens were erected in front of the main building, where the pigs were put out for the day, and three sides of dressed pork were hung in the building in order to show the qualities desired by packers.No 1 of first quality had fat and meat evenly mixed; No 2 was too fat, and No 8 too thin.Live hogs were selected to show the good and bad points.J.H, Grisdale, A.T.Charron, and C.E.Mortmeux from the experimen- mental farm of Ottawa were the speakers.Mr Grisdale spoke especially on selection of the pigs.Mr Charron on feeding and value of feeds, and Mr Mortmeux on pasturing and lodging of pigs.It was the best farmers\u2019 meeting we ever had.The rains of Saturday and Sunday havedonemuch good and everything is growing fast.ATHEL@TAN .The Rev

organized.The company will have three distributing centres in Montreal.Work will be started early this fall, which means steady work for a large number of men during the generally idle months, A largely atteuded excursion reached Valleyfield from Ottawa on Sunday.The heavy rain, which prevailed during the day, prevented the visitors from taking in the town sights.In the afternoon a lacrosse match was played between a visiting team and the Feuilles d\u2019 Erables of Valleyfield, resulting in a victory for the visitors by 8 to 2.Hotel barrooms were, judging by the general good behaviour of both visitors and locals, strictly closed, a most favorable change from previous years\u2019 Sunday incursions.The Rev Mr Henderson, pastor of Methodist church, was replaced on Sunday by the Rev Mr Scanlan, who has been well received by the congregation.Owing to the sudden illness of the Rev Mr Ascah, Sunday\u2019s services in St Mark\u2019s had to be dispensed with, The city schools were all closed last week, Reports from the various schools were favorable as to general advancement and attendance, In a foot-ball league match, played between the C.P.R.team of Montreal and the local team, played in Valleyfield on Saturday, the local team was defeated by a score of 2 to 1.The local team has been unfortunate this season, having so far only one win to its credit.The flag over the city hall was flying at half-mast on Tuesday out of respect for Maxime Laurin, one of the city\u2019s old-time councillors, A large contingent of \u201cold country militiamen,\u201d now working in the cotton mills, left Valleyfield on Tuesday to attend the annual camp at Three Rivers.An official of the St Vincent de Paul penitentiary, having in charge ex-city treasurer A.Martin, came to Valleyfield

deal, the case was closed on Saturday and taken en delibere.A lawn social was held at the manse on Wednesday of last week and was followed by a like function at St Mark\u2019s church on Saturday.Both events were well patronized and pleasant evenings were spent.The result of carelessness caused a young fellow to suffer from a fractured limb in one of the departments of the Gault mills.The Montreal Cotton Co., has had the channel, leading to its new lumber yards, buoyed this week and a barge, laden with 300,000 feet of lumber, was moored at the dock on Monday evening in safety.The barge Alice, coal laden from Montreal to Valleyfield, came into collision with a steam barge in the Lachine canal last week, sinking the Alice and causing a serious obstruction which delayed navigation they the canal for 3 or 4 days.The annual closing down of the Montreal Cotton Co,'smills for temporary repairs, will take place on Priday evening, the 26th inet., and will last 5 or 6 days.Paterfamilias and others are now arranging a series of side trips for the short vacation.The bleach house of the Montreal Cotton Co.is undergoing a complete overhauling.Wood - flooring, &., are being replaced with permanent re-enforced cement work.When completed this department will stand the premier bleachery of the country.Mr W.Gall and party effected the landing of a GOT sturgeon in the hâte verte rapids of

weeds, with the yequesf that I would identify them and send a note to your paper suggesting methods of eradication.It would have been eus- fer for me to send useful information, had a few more facts been given as to the way these weeds are siv- ing trouble.One of these I am asked to report upon as \u2018the Hemmingtord weed.\u2019 [This is & shrub belonging to the Spiraea family, which grows about thres fest high and bears at the tip of sach shoot a spike of pretty pink flowers.It is only too well known In the Eastern Townships as Hardhack, where, in the rich hilly pastures, it frequently spreads to a serious extent and reduces the area under pasture.Many methods of this has beer tried but without very much success.It is difficult to cut down the wiry stems, and few anj- mals will eat it, although those best of weeders, sheep, are useful in keep- inp it down to a large extent, particularly where the oldstems have first been mown off.One field near Knowl- grubbed out, one holding bunches of the shrub while the other cut away the roots with a pickaxe.After this treatment a handful of weed should be \u2018thrown into each vacant spot For this purpose Kentucky Blue sraes,or orchard grass may be used.Under khe name of \u2018Huntingdon weeds,\u201d two plants are sent, the Ground Ivy, a member of the mint family, which has pretty blue flowers and a disagreeable odor, and a plant belonging\u2019 to the Chickwead tamily, the Grassy Stitchwort.The former of these is à plant which has accidentally escaped from cultivation, but has become a troublesome pest on lawns, and I Judge, from the plant being eent from a farmers\u2019 meeting, it may have got out into some of your fields.The Grassy Stitchwort is ai- 80 a European plant which is now common in many parte of the Province of Quebec and eastward.Both of these plants are perennials and, as they root close to the surface of the ground, are easily eradicated where the land can be plowed up.Plowing should be deep, 50 as to turn them well under, 80 that they cannot grow «p to the surface again.Such treatment should be done before midsummer, so that no ripe seeds should be turned down.When these weeds occur in pastures or on lawns, nothing can be done except to rake out as much as possible and sow extra grass seed.Kentucky Blue grass and white clover, both excellent feed for stock, will crowd out almost any other plant, if given a chance.None of the above plants are poisonous or unwholesome to stock.Yours very truly, James FLETCHER, Entomologist and Botanist Central Experimental farm, Ottawa, Division of Entomology and Botany, At the Brockville cheese board on Saturday, G.G.Publow, chief dairy inspector, briefly spokeof a tendency he had noticed in a recent visit to Montreal, to send forward to market cheese that is too green and too open in its texture to be a really first-class article.While in Montreal he had examined a number of lots sent from this district and found many of them tog apen and too green, He thought more pressure was required, and said that at Belle- ville and west of that neighborhood the cheese which had been subjected to pressure for two days or more showed a marked improvement over cheese \"hich pad been made and shipped before being properly pressed out.He advised a trial of longer cantinued pressure and felt confident that the result would be beneficial to the manufacturers and patrons.The new Catholic church at Nico- let, and the old one, together with the convent and hospital, were burned Friday night.There were 300 nuns in the convent.No loss of life.Estimated loss $500,000, Port Covington Sun; We are in- upon reliable authority that the creditors of Wilcox & Co., the defunct bankers, will receive from 10 + to 12 cents on the dollar abont September destroying The circumstances which gave occa- son to the present litigation are the following : .Alexander Arthur Anderson, who was the uncle of the parties in this cause, died at Valleyfield on the Sth October, 1881, leaving the following relatives, first his mother, Elizabeth Tully, who was a widow, second, his five brothers, James Tully, Robert, William, George and Wallace: third Charles Will, his brother-in-law, who had been married to his aister Rabecca Anderson, then deceased; and fourth, Alexander Arthur, son of his brother Arthur, then deceased, but whose widow, Agnes McAdam, was still living.His brothers James, Robert and William were married and had children.By his will he divided his estate into eight shares; he gave one share in tull ownership, to his mother, and then disposed of the remainder in the following manner: He gave one seventh part of his estate to each of his five brothers and to his brother-in- the time, when the children, as to law, Charles Will in usufruct, up to those among them who were married and had children, would attain thelr age of majority.The ownership of each of sald shares was to belong, from the time of his death, 1st to the children of his married brothers; 2nd to Arthur son of his late brother Arthur; and 3rd, to the children of his brother-in-law Charles Will.As each child became of age the usufruct bequeathed to the father of that child, was to be diminished in proportion to the share of the child in question.The disposition contained in the.will with respect to his two brothers, George and Wallace, was a peculiar one.They were given the usufruct of their respective shares ton was cleared out by two men who\u2019 just as \u2018had been done for their brothers, but as they were unmer- ried, it was explained in the will that the desire of the testator was that they should only become the absolute owners of their respective shares at the end of a period of ten years, if remained single; if it so happened they got married during that period of time then the share of each was to go to his children.The testamentary executors were James Wattie, James Tully Anderson the testator\u2019s brother and George H.Phillips.Believing that the will contained a substitution in favor of the children of the brothers and sisters of the deceased, the testamentary executors caused a curator to said substitution to be appointed, and James Tully Anderson was named to act as such.I might observe here, that in my opinion the executors were clearly mistaken as to any general substitution having been created by the terms of the testator's will in favor of the children of the married brothers and of those of Charles Will, his broth- er-in-law.The giving by the testator of the usufruct of part of his estate to one class of legatess, and the ownership of the same property to another class, both bequests to take effect from the date of hie death, did not constitute a substitution.Each co- legates got immediately what was Intended he should receive, without any obligation on his part to hand over to any one, at any future time, whatever had been given him.Those among them who were made usufruct- uariea had nothing to hand over.When the time fixed for the duration of their usufruct had come to an end, their usufruct or enjoyment of , the property, the ownership of which had been given to their children, ceased but that is all.They had not to transter their right of usufruct to any one.The case, however was different with regard to George and Wallace.Although the word * usu- fruet\u201d was used in the testamentary disposition which referred to them, it is clear that, as the ownership of the Property bequeathed rested upon no Other person, they, as a matter of course, became absolute owners of what they received from the date of the tentator's death, subject, however, to the obligation of handing over later on, what they had received, to their respective children, if ever any were born to them in lawful wedlock.It is precisely this obligation of handing over to others what one has received which creates what is known In law as a substitution.\u201d The appointment, therefore, of Jaa.Tully Anderson as curator to the substitution, if useless and without any object in eo far as the other co- legatees were concerned, was undoubtedly an appropriate and sven a ne- coasary ane with regard to the future ehiléren of George and Wallace Anderson.The estate of the late Alexander An- Gerson was not one which could be easily disposed of with profit at à public sale.The Bulk of the immovable properties consisting in s factory, & couple of mills, and à large aumber the obeervance of certain legal ferm- alities, the drawing of à proper title for those who might become purches- ors, either of the factory, the mille, or any of the vacant lots, would necessitate legal proceedings and entail expenses likely to be a cause of cone siderabls embarassment to the executors of the will, In order to obviate these ditticuls ties, the following scheme was suggested by the late Mr.Elliott, their legal adviser, and was adopted by the co-legatoms, acting, as the cave might be, as well personally, as In their cas pacity of tutors to the minor chfld« ren, and in the case of James Tully Anderson in the further capacity of curator to the substitution: A suit in licitation was taken out wherein Elizabeth Tully, the mother of the deceased testator, appeared as plaintiff and all the other co-legatees As defendants.This suit bore the number 1018 of May, 1884, Judgment Was pronounced and the properties, the licitation of which was being prayed for, were ordered to be sold in accordance with the requirements of the law In such cases made and provided.Whilst said proceedings were going on, an agreement was signed by the parties to the suit, to the effect that Dame Elizabeth Tully should become the sole \u201cadjudicataire\u2019 of all the property put up for sale, with the understanding that whilst, she would purchase said pro- pertyin her own name, yet she would so purchase it for the benefit of ail her co-legatees, she consenting to be their trustee.In the year 1887 à second sale in Ij.citation of whatever had remained after the firat sale took place, and Dame Elizabeth Tully again became the sole purchaser under conditions similar to those J have just mentioned This last sult bore the number 366 of the records of this court.Dame Rl- zabeth Tully was faithful to her trust and, on the 15th November, 1887, the day which preceded that of her death, she added a codicil to her will, by which she disposed, in the following manner, of the property she had bought for the benefit of her co-leg- atess.I am quoting her own words: Having bought certain real property on the 33rd Dec., 1884, and on the 30th June, 1887, in two licitation suits, wherein I was plaintiff and James Tully Anderson and others were defendants, and bearing respectively the numbers 1013 and 266 of the records of the Superior Court for the District, of Beauharnoie, it is my wish and desire that the portion of said property belonging at the time of his death to my son Alexander Anderson, should be divided and go to the parties named in his will, and also to my grandson Alexander, son of my son Arthur Anderson, share and share alike, and in the manner indicated in said will, I having bought sald property © * ¢ * for the benefit of those hereinbefore mentioned and to whom I do bequeath the same.\u201d She then disposed of her own share in her late son's estate by dividing it between James Tully Anderson, Will- lam Anderson, George Anderson, Wale lace \u2018A.Anderson, Jane Lumeden Far~ quhar, wife of Robert Anderson.and the children of her late daughter Rebecca Anderson, share and share alike, the children of Rebecca Anderson to be entitled together to one share only as the representatives of their moth er.This done, she added the name of James Tully Anderson to those of her testamentary executors already appointed by her will.This mode of dealing with the property of the estate of the late Alex- «nder Andersor having thus far proved satisfactory, the Co-legatess after the death of Dame Elizabeth Tully, made up their minds to again resort to it in the name of one of their number.With a view to attain this object, a suit in Heitation was again instituted, this time in the name of Dame Uane Farquhar, assisted by her husband, Robert Davie Anderson against James Tully Anderson and the other co-legatess.The said Dame Jane Farquhar came in a8 the representative nt her husband Robert Davie Anderson, who by his contract of marriage, had disposed in her faver, of the ahare he had been given in the late Alexander Anderson's estate.Ow the Slat Aug., 1885, whilst these pre- ceedings in licitation were still poné- ing, the following agreement, \u2018sous seing prive,\u201d was entered into by the co-legatem: *\u201c Now these presents wit« ness, that it hath been and le hereby epecially covenanted and agreed, by and between the party of the first part (James Tully Anderson) snd those of the second part, (all the othr co-legatess), that he, the party of the firat part shall buy in, and become the \u201cadjudicataire\u201d* of so much of said real property as possible at said sale, to be beid on 27th day of now next, but he shall pay on the moneys so retaines Me hands, and that de shall oid «AR run Wn è + ate mbna the sald property (a trust for the benefit and advantage of the parties entitled thereto, and for his share therein and thet thesame shall be sold by him trom time to time for the mutual benefit of sll and upon the same conditions as those which Dame El- sabeth Tully administered the same.And it 18 moreover specially agreed, that all sums of money which the party of the first part shall be bound to pay or disburse in any way in acquiring sald immovable property, shall be equally borne by the parties of the first and second part, according to thelr respective rights, charges and interests therein, it being the intention of the whole of the parties hereto that the said immoveable property shall be held by ihe said party of the first part 1} trust for the mutual benefit of all; he hereby binding and obliging himself to cause all deeds of male to be made out according to the stipulations of the deed he obtains from the court, and subject to the terms and conditions of these presents.This agreement was fully complied with and at the licitation sale James Tully Anderson became the sole 'ad- Judicataire of the whole of the property put up for sale for the sum of 3195.The deed of conveyance from the prothonotary of this court bears date the 5th December, 1888.On \u2018the 27th August, 189 James Tully Anderson died intestate, leaving as his only heirs his daughter Millie Grace Anderson and his son John Hoyle Anderson, the two defendants In this cause.\"In \u201cdeclaration de Ces,\u2019 made by them and by thelr mother, Dame Gertrude Schuyler, before Mr.Joron, no- tery public ,on the 15th December 1895, we find a list of immovable properties which corresponds with those to be found in the estate of the late Alexander Anderson and in that of late Dame Elizabeth Tully.The evidence shows that a considerable proportion of said Immovable properties was sold at various dates both by James Tully Anderson and by his heirs, John Hoyle Anderson and Mil- lle Grace Anderson, the two defendants in this case.By his present action the plaintiff, who is one of the legatees entitled to share in the estate of the late Alexander Anderson as well as in that of Dame Elizabeth Tully, is suing the two above named defendants \u2018en reddition de compte.\u201d He holds them responsible both for the administration of their father, whose duties and obligations they have assumed in their capacity of heirs to his estate, and personally for their own administration.He alleges that their father, James Tully Anderson, having acted as the trustee of his co-legatees, was bound to render them an account of his administration of the estate he had bought for their benefit, as well as his own, and that they (the defendants) having become his heirs and thereby the legal continuation of hie person, are similarly responsible towards him This action has been met first by a special denial of each of the allegations contained in the declaration, and further, by the following contentions: The defendants say that, they, at no time, were ever the administrators for others of the property described inthe plaintiff's declaration, and that it being so, they have no account to render to any one.They affirm that they inherited the property In question from their father who bought it at a public sale, in a licitation suit regularly instituted, and that the price paid for the property thus bought by their father was a fair equivalent of the value of said property at the date of sald sale, taking into consideration the fact that the greater portion of the land, which formed part of the Alexander Anderson estate, was but of very little value at this time, and that the purchaser had to assume the obligation of fpaying, in addition tothe purchase price, which was $195, an hypothe- cary claim, amounting to the sum of ten thousand dollars.They allege that the agrement sous seing prive, relied upon by said plaintiff, was null and void and of no effect and that the same cannot be set up in opposition to the solemn deed of sale granted to their father under the authority of the superior court, and that no conditions or agresment of any private character could legally be grafted upon the regular conditions of sale and list of charges (cahier des charges) which were publicly read be- forse the court for the information of whomsoever desired to become one of the bidders at sajd public sale.They claim further, that from the STth September, 1688, date of the sale down to the ffth Auguet, 1999 James Tully Anderson occupied and possessed the immovable properties bought by Kim publicly as the recognised owner thereof, a titre de proprietaire, and that they, his heirs, have continued in the same possession down tothe month of November, 1809, when the present action wae taken out, claiming there BY the benetit of the ten years\u2019 pre- sorption, which would then cover any detest, it any existed, in the original title of ownership, They finally allege that they sever hed pésssasion of lot io.G45, wich they say, was- erroneously included In ssid publie sale, and that most of the lots of land purchased by their father, instead of being a source of revenus to him, were, on the contrary an oe- casion of expense up to » comparatively recent date when they began to increase in value.The conclusion of their defence is, that plaintiff's action should be dismissed with costs.As may be noticed by the allegations contained in the plesdingu, the main question to ba inquired into, te whether the agreement in the form of a contre lettre bearing date the ist August, 1888 which is relied upon by the plaintiff, could legally be assent- od to by the co-legatess who affixed their names to it, and more particularly whether James Tully Anderson, who signed said document, and who later .on became the sole purchaser of the whole of the immoveabls properties which were put up for sale in virtue of the licitation procesdings referred to above, is to be considered as being bound by said contre lettre, or private agreement.On the one hand the plaintiff says: The agreement was valid, and as à consequence of it the licitation sats was & simulated sale which left the co-le- gatess in exactly the same condition in which they were prior to îte taking place.On the other hand, defendants urge that no private agreement could legally counteract the intent and the purpose of the licitation sale the conditions of which were fixed and determined under the authority of the court, and that said agreement, being in violation of the intended ltci- tation, was null and void, as being of its natureopposed tothe very essence of the object sought to be attained, which was the putting an end to the \u201cindivision,\u201d complained of in the action.I believe .that both parties have carried their pretensions too far.In the tirst place, \u2018the agreement in question did not necessarily compel Jas.Tully Anderson to become the purchaser at the licitation sale.The main object in view \u2018Was to save the property from being sacrificed, and on referring to the private agreement I find that this object Avas therein expressel In so many words.The immoveable properties to be sold were divided in three lois.There can be no doubt that if a suitable price had been offered by an outsider for any one of those lots, James Tully Anderson would have in no way been held accountable to his co-legatees, had he allowed thelot thus bid upon to pass Into the hands of a third party.In the second place there is nothing in the law to prevent a purchaser from buying as a trustee for others, and from being dispensed by the parties interested from some and even all of the conditions prescribed by \u2018\u2019le cahier des charges.\u201d These conditions are put infor the benefit of the vendors and may be eith- or altered or struck off entirely in favor of a particular purchaser by means of a private agreement to that effect, on the authority of those in whose favor such conditions had been introduced.In the present instance, James Tully Anderson, with a view to give effect to the agreement, entered into by himeelf and his co-legatess, became the purchaser for their benefit as well as his own, in order that the property might not be sacrificed.I certainly fail to see any violation of either the law or equity in the means thus resorted to with the unanimous consent of all the co-legatess.James Tully Anderson became the sole proprietor for all intents and purposes in the eyes of third parties, and the subsequent disposal of the property thus acquired by him, by means of private sales to third part.les, was perfectly valid; but as he had agreed to allow his co-legatess to share with him in the profits to be realized by sald sales,he, as a consequence of said agreement, obliged himself to account to them for said sales and to pay them their respective shares in the price thereof.Some authorities were cited by the defendants\u2019 counsel for the purpose of showing that an agreement between co-proprietors, to the effect that the property shall remain undivided as in the past when the parties are, in fact in the act of proceeding to a division thereof, is null as being incompatible with the object sought to be obtained.I quite agrees with him.Between the two adverse attitudes assumed by ths co-proprietors, such as is explained by the authority cited, a choice must be made.As the French proverb would have it, \u201cA door cannot be opened and closed at the same time,\u201d and in the instance set forth, either the agreement must be held to be null and void, as being in direct contradiction to the deed of partition, or else the partition iteslf must be est aside.Supposing that the legatess in the present case had gone to a notary to cause a dead of partition of the property they held in common to be made, and that, at the same moment, they had signed an agreement by which they bound themwelves to maintain.the condition of things which existed before, it 9 manifest that either the ome or the other of those two desds must de § foclared anil and veld.oe Det lat ue carry the intl à veu | further, and lot us suppess thet the | co-propristoss, with a view te pre- coed te à division of thelr undivided property, had agreed to put it up fer sale at publie swelion but under the reservation thet, if a certain prite was not reached, then one of the co-pro- prietors would purchase it as well for himself as for his co-heire\u2014where would the contradiction be then?Such a thing io done every day.Let us go a step further, and let us aésume that the co-propristors had agreed among themasives that in the event of the property being exposed to be sacrificed, one of them would purchase in his own name but for the common benefit of all parties interested, with the further understanding that waid purchaser should himaelf sell by private sales the property in question in his own name and as trustees for his \u201cco-partageants,\u201d could it be pretended that such an agreement was in opposition to the scheme intended to be carried out?Is it not manifest, on the contrary, that such an arrangement between the co-legatess would be in full accordance with the object sought to be attained, to wit: the sale of the undivided property with a view to an ultimate division of the proceeds of such sale?This js exactly our case.The defendants have Invoked the benefit of the ten years\u2019 prescription.My answer is this: Either James T.Anderson became the lawful owner of the property he bought, or else the sale was simply a simulated one.If he really purchased the property offered for sale, in good faith, the ten years\u2019 prescription will add nothing to his title, which is already a valid one, but quoad his co-legatess, he has all along remained their trustes, and for, that reason he cannot prescribe against them.His title which was a qualified one from the beginning, quo ad is co-legatees, has never chang- od.The moment it is shown that he had purchased for them as well as for himself, he cannot prescribe against them.If on the other hand, the sale was & simulated one, then he purchased nothing, end here again his obligations towards his co-legatees have all slong remained the same.If he only holde the property ae a trustes for others, he cannot acquire by prescription {against his co-legatees in spite of his title.Thave therefore, no hesitation whatever in coming to the conclusion that the present action is well founded, both in facts and in law, and that the conclusions of plaintiff's declaration should be maintained.The defendants are, therefore, condemned to render an account within a period of six monthe from the date of the serv- les upon them of the judgment rendered in this cause, of their own administration of the estate of the sald late Alexander Anderson as well as of their late father.In default of their doing so within said period of time, they are condemned to pay the plaintiff a sum of $10,000 as representing the \u201creliquat\u201d of sald account with interest from service of process, costs reserved.The plaintiff has fyled two motions for the purpose of amending his declaration.As I deam the proposed amendments to be unnecessary, those two motions are rejected but without costs.The plaintiff, Alexander A.Anderson, was represented by Wm.Patterson, B.C.L., of Montreal, with J.G.Laurendeau, K.C., as counsel ; L.J.Papineau, K.C., for defendants with 8.Beaudin, K.C., as counsel, HUNTINGDON DAIRY BOARD At
