The injury consisted in lowering the footpath in fiont of the allotment, leaving the claimants' land and buildings at an elevation of several feet. On the land is a hotel and two shops. 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. His Honor went at considerable length, and with minuteness, through the evidence adduced, and explained the principles upon which the measure of damage in such cases was found. 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. As neither party recovered more than three-fourths of the amount claimed, no costs Mere allowed.
Intelligence of award made in the case Clements and Rose v. the Town Board, was received here to-day. It has been calculated by persons here who have gone into details, that Messrs Clements and Rose, after paying costs and contributing their share of the award in rates, will gain about £100, for which the town wiil have to pay about £300. A ninepenny rate will require to be levied to meet the award.
