Land Dummyism. In Higgins v. the Land Board, an appeal from a decision of the Board in forfeiting the appellants' license on the ground of dummyism. Judge Williams, in giving judgment, oaid the license was not liable to be forfeited, on the ground that the licensee had occupied land not exclusively for his own use and benefit, although if it were liable to be forfeited on this ground he was quite satisfied that the evidence would justify a forfeiture.
