Mrs Francis Sarah Clements (one of the claimants) is the owner of fee expectant on the determination of a leaae to Mr Frank Rose, of which three years are yet unexpired. The hotel is the Masonic. The lessor claimed £1000, and the lessee £400.

He also expounded the law laid down as applicable to such claims, and finally awarded to Mrs Clements £IS3, and to Mr Hose the sum of £45.
