In tho foreclosuro cago of Mason vs. The Lake Erlo, Evansville & Southwostern Itallway Com- Dany a question of considerable Importance was ralsed on tho intervening potition of ono Dukes n4 to tho ownership of tho Eric & Wabash Canal, and decided yesterday by Judgo Drummond. Tho onnal was constructed a good many yeurs Ago and operated for many years, but in 1847 the State beeamo finnnelally embarrassed, and con- veyed tho cannl to trustees for’ tho beneft of Its creditors, The creditors, by a deoroe of Dec, 2, 1875, sought to onforco tholr righta, and Undor an ordor of court tho property was sold in different parcels, Dukes bought that portion of tho canal oxtending through Vandorburgh and Warrick Countios, oxcopt what was within tho territorial limits of Evansville, the prive bid being 82,100, Before this, however, aud in 1872, the Like Eric, Vivansvillo & Southwestern Hailway, without any authority or condummntion proceedings, took possession of about nine miles of tho tow- yah of the-canal, being part of that bought by Jukes, nnd built o rutivoul-track, The snl mortgize existed on the rond, which, i 1877, wits Torocioved and the road soll, Dukes mibse- iontly Aled a petition ta recoyer tho valuo of tho land. taken by tho rallrond, though before his puygbase, elafining {t had never nequired Jugal Ute thereto from tho Btute, ‘Tho potltlon was roforred tou Master, and ho reported in favor of Dukes, uascasing the valuoof the lund so. taken at $i . Exceptions were filed to this report, but overruled by Judge Drummond. ‘tho pe fail xoveral important iprestions wore raised, the main ones belug whythor Dukes: pret uny title to that partet the canal used by the ratlroad, and also whether the canal ane- quired an absolute title to tho property, or only wincre Uso of It og lone as tho canal existed ws kuch, Tho eonnl bad been nbandoned tong bo- fare tho decree In favor of tho State creditors.
