OPINION IN AN OLD
EJECTMENT CASE
BENT PAID BUT CAN'T HAVE
POSSESSION.
In the Suit of Hull, Assignee,
Against Kennedy & Carter nnd
Others, Judge Archbald Discharges
tho Rule to Strike Off the Compul
sory Non-Suit Judga Simonton
Makes a Decision in a Caso in
Which the Local Judge Could Not
Agree Other Court Matters.
In tho case of John L. Hull, tisMgncu.
against Kennedy x. Culler and other,
Judge Archbnld yestoiday rendered a
lengthy opinion discharging the rule
to take off tho compulsory non-suit
giantod at the fall term of common
pleas.
The plaintiff wag awlgnec of his
brother, who In 1S9B opened a store In
the Kennedy & Carter building, tinder
a five years lease. After a ftw months
ho nrslgncd and when tho assignee
had closed out the business the stora
was vacated. The landlords enteied
n claim for the full live years' rent
tinder the terms of the leaso and tho
auditor who was appointed to dis
tribute the funds arising out of tho
sale of tho estate allowed the claim.
Tho building was shortly aflct wards
leased by the landlords to Hill & Con
nell. Then Hull citno l:i with a claim
for the rental which Hill ft Connell
was paying, and upon being refused
attempted to enforce Its collation by
a suit in ejectment. When the case
came to trial Judge Atchbild granted
a motion for a rompulsoiy non-suit
and now, after having heatd argu
ments at length on tin law in the cas?,
refucs to stilke It off.
Two oplnlcns were lecclvtd yester
day treim Judge J. W. himonton, of

the Justice of the pe.u o, In a small
debt clilm. Martin mi dp urplicatlon
for it tianrcilpt for nppeil. but the
Justice refused It, until all the accrued
costs weie pild, The ndmlnlstiator
alleged that he did net lne to pay
the costs Inasmuch as he defended in
a representative capicily, Tid to en
fold- his contention h" applied to court
for a wilt of ntternathe mandamus to
comiel the Jusilco to lurnlsh the
tranccrlpt of appeal without tho costs
being paid.
When the case came up at thci last
term of nrBiiment court Judges Arch
bald and r.dvvaids failed to reach an
agreement und suggested to the par
ties that thev take the matter before
Judge Simonton. who wus at tho tints
hearing an argument in thu superior

Judge Simonton decided that Mr.
Martin was right in his claim and di
rected that a peremptory mandamm
