Pottgeiser Insists on Running His Concert-8aloon in Full Blast, New Suits, Bankruptey Matters, Divorces, Confessions, Ete, Judge Willlams has been for the past two or three days engaged fo hearing & very compli- cated case containing some Interesting ques- tions as to what constitutes a partition, and the doctrine of estoppel. It seems that {n 1802 James and Frank Shanley bought s lot on the east side of Union street, a little south of Wright street, twenty-five feet front by 110 feet deep. Two houses were bullt on the lot,—one on the near the rear, with a passage-way on the svuth alde. The person lving in the rear was to have 4 way out to'the front. by the alley on the north of the latter’s house, and the one iiving In front was to bave accesstoscommon yard inthe rear, Some sort & paro] agreemeat for a partl- tion was made, and this was one of the vexed questions In thecase: whether the agreement was suflictent, Frank-Shanley died in March, 1873, and letters of adminfstration were taken out by his widow soon after. Abouta year after lis real estate was ordered to besold by the Provate Court, and In July, 1878, his intereat in this Unlon street lot, being an undivided one- half of Lot 7, Block 7. in the C. T. Bubdivision of the N. W. I{ of Sec, 21, 80, 14, was sold. James Stanley was present and bid, but the undivided futerest waa struck off to M ichae Carrick, In Beptomber following Car- rick filed a blll -for partition, making the Shanley heirs - parties defendant. 1n November. 1877, a,decres was entered, and commlssioners appoluted, but they reported thet the premises could not be divided, and a salg was ordered of the wholelot, A sale was accordingly bad March 80, 1878, and the property bought by F, M. Carter for $340, it having been appratsed by the Commisaloners at $1,400. The sum of $470, or one-haif the bid was then pald to Jamea Bhanley, and recclved b{ lis wife, and the rcmalnder to Carrick. Shanley refused to vacate the premlses, but af- ter a writ of assistanqge had been luuefl', aud & lively contest had at the house, he and his wife were ousted. ! James Shantey and his wife then filed a billon the 15th of June last sotting up the above facts, and claiming that the lot had been divided be- tween bim and his brother Frauk by a parol agreement InMarch, 1803; that he had home- stead rights which had never been se} off; and that tho decree of partitlon wasvold, Twodays were occtipled in the trial, a very large amount of testimony having = been tuken. The two principal questions were os to the ecxistence and validity of the parol agree- ment for partithio, ond as to the queatlon vt homestend, and whether Mrs. Shan- ley by recelving haif tho prico of the lot was not estovped from afterward claiming any fur- ther rights In the property, Col. Forrester ap- llenrcd Tor the complainants, and Mussrs, M, A. torke & Hon for Carrick, Carter, and Mrs. Shanley, the administratrix. Judee Williams, In declding the case, sald tho first queation was whether there had' been a8 varol agreement. (Tho law was wnll(euns on the question whetlher a parol partition coul exiat at law, but in this State the law was set~ tled that it did exist.'1he Bupreme Court had uphold a parol partition as far as an estats in equity was concerned;: and had admitted the existence of o homestead right. In the present cano the evidence as to' the terms of the parol agrecment was very-eonflicting, All but ono of the witnesses on thu subject were fllitcrate, and had only dieard it read, and it was Impossiblo tovely on tholr recollections aftera lapso of fifteow ycors. Francis Shanley teatiticd ho drew tho agreement, and that it was 16 Iiis possension a long time. Hut he could nok tell how the lot wastto be divided. A parol arreement, to be validymust be autliclently defi: uite toallow its terms to be distinctly made out. If aline bad {een ran across the lot Is would have beeu splalner, but each purl'y seemed to have some rights o tho otner's rtlon, and thers did mot appear have been any exclusive possession by elther porty. Notorious exelusive possession wight authorize & court to conclude there had been o scverance of posscasipn, but such was not the fact In the present case. It was not to be pro- sumed, it two partieaowned partsof a lot in soveralty, thet one would et o other to shut out his auclent lignts. Nelther party exer- clsed auexclosive possessionof any portion of the lot, excopt that part covered by thelr resbective houses, and, in the iabsence of nnz detlnite agreement on tho sutgect, the clalm that the lut had been divided was uot made out. A parol agreement for partition did not pass a legal title, but an equitable estate; but it wnuldgbo subject Lo homestead rights. Asto the doctring’ of cstoppel. Was not Mary Shanley estopped by her recelpt of the 460 from claiming any hoinestead fntereati Bhe waa not bouud by the proceediogs tu the Probate Coart and the partition sult, Lut she waus cstopped by her racta. Mere laches on her vart would ot estop her unless it aniounted to fraud, A homestead entato was nomore precious than & woman's separate estate, aod the law would throw around it 110 more rmtccuon than around 8 dower claiwn, But if she bad com- mitted an act which :amounted to a fraud or tort she would be uwx‘»gcd. and it was & fraud for Mrs. SBhauloy to take the procceds of the sule of the lot, and:then atlempt to geta honestead out of the same property, The bill vruu‘hl tuerefore be 'dismissed for want of equity. } An appeal was asked to the Appellate Court by the complainants. | TIE DAM AT DESPLAINXS, About a week ago Richard W, Rathbone and other property-owners aloug the Desplalnes River, near Desnlaines, filed a bill sgainse John and Charies Bchubi to broveut them frun: build~ ing or malntatolng a dam acroes the riyer below their property. Complalnants clajmed that the erection of the dam would cause their lands to bo overtlowed, and would create minsms and inalarial diseases. A temporary Injubcuon was granted ox parte, and Fu-wnlny a motlon was nade befors Judze Williaimns to dissulve it. Tha defeudants fled an suswer denying all the waterlal allegations of the bill, charging that thoy were wot intending 1o erect a new daun, but to repair an old one, 50 as to be able 10 cut fce in the winter; that such a dam would uot ratge the water twa feot, as charged; and {nstesd of belng detrimental to Lealth, 'would be beneflelal by preventiog the swdden fsll of the water. About twouty-tive afllduvits were aleo filedd on bott sides, asserting or coutra- dieting the allegatior I the bill, After listeniug quenuy to tho readiog of these and to part of the oral arguments, Juduo Williams intimated he did not wish to hear any more, He sald that abill In order to entitiv o party to an injunction must ellege that frre- burable damags was likely to ensue from the wrongful acty complaived of. No such allega- tlon was mady fn tha present case, aud It was a iatul mistake, Moreover, the allegations were sll denicd, and the evidencs was coutlleting, and he ulJ not purposa to declde the case at the K;uuul atage.
