WARDEN’S COURT. —o— Thursday, January 24, 1878. (Before W. L. Simpson, Esq., Warden.) Eeraud v. Corporation of Clyde, for cancellation of water license. The Warden gave judgment in this ease as follows I find that defendants have abstained from using the water as required by the Goldfields Act and Regulations under which was granted the water race now held under license 3500, May 27, 1877, and the previous renewal of which was license 6SB, May : 37, 1875, for a longer period than that laid down by said Regulations for non-naer, and from the evidence I find that the said race has been abandoned and rendered liable for_ forfeiture by the Regulations under which granted, wherefore I declare the said water race forfeited, and do hereby cancel the said licenses 3500 and 588. I find that the Warden cannot transfer tho said water right to plaintiff, but as there is no doubt but the plaintiff really means to be considered the first applicant, the Warden sees no reason why he should not be so considered. The defendants to pay costs.
