It was not a question as to whether the mill was an annoyance, bat whether it was an un necessary annoyance. The path of life was nu! & path of pleastre, and many annoyances Ia along it which the law could not remove.

Equity Court, Judge Olin.-Yesterday, in the matier of the sale of a house belonging to one Seitz under a decree on a creditor's bill. appli- cation was made for leave to substitute for thy purchaser at the sale another person who bad contracted to give the first purchaser $1,000 bonus on his purchase. Judge Olin refused the application, saying it would be monstrous for @ court of equity to allow a persou to whom the estate of infants or creditors had been knocked down to at half its yalue to use the process of the court as a mesns of enabling im to speculate on his bid.
