Tho first caso called was that of tho heirs of Dr. John Hamscy against C. B. Brockway, to recover a strip of land about ten feet wide, lying between the property of Peter Brugler and C. B. Brockway on Third street In this town. Tho suit was started against Rapt. Brockway In his lifetime. M. G. Hughes bought tho prop- crty from Mr. Brockway'3 assignee, nnd Is now tho roal defendant. Dr. Hamscy sold tho property to Jesse Hicks, and It is con tended by tliu plaintiff's that tho deceased did not cover the land In court, but that it was left open as an alley for tho conveni ence of Hicks, until an alloy should be opened in the rear of tho lot. which was subsequently done. Hicks sold to Charles Docblcr, and Doeblcr sola to Brockway, and Brockway fenced In the alley, and it has so remained up to this time. Tho de fendant claims that tho alley is an case ment that belongs to tho property, nnd that lt was so agreed at the time of tho salo by Dr.Ilarascy. C. G. Baikley Is attorney for plaintiff, and Ruawn and Herring for the defense. The case went to tho jury and verdict rendered In favor of defendant, Wednesday afternoon.
