WARDEN’S COURT— Yesterday.
Before W. Fraser, Esq., Warden. Windsor Castle G.M.C. v. Littlejohn. This was an action for encroachment., and stood over for judgment from the previous Court day. The Warden now gave judgment as follows :—Upon the plaintiff’s evidence, it appears that for the entire period of occupation of the property, the plaintiff had allowed to the defendant a consideration for the very occupation which I am now asked to declare to have been an encroachment. I cannot so declare it, and therefore give judgment for defendant. As the Counsel for the defendant was with the evidence before him, obliged to confess that lie could see neither the legal nor equitable construction of the contract between the pa.'ties, I do not wonder at the plaintiff mistaking his action ; still as any ambiguity resulted from the plaintiff’s folly in making, or at least acting upon, an incomprehensible agreement upon which he has gone to law and failed, the plaintiff must pay the costs fixed at £lO bs. The Court then adjourned until the 4th January next.
