-Shaw-Fisher Marriage. Claims Watch Hill) ed by Government, on Which Frank Larkin H - Started to Erect Buildings—Work —Probate Ruling in Case red Stopped of Isaac Jones, Executor— / — Clement C. Griscom, who has iarge holdings at Watch Hill, is now claim- ant ‘of a section of property that has been abandoned by the government, and to whjch Frank Larkin claims ownership. It was upon a part of this property, presumably to prove occu- pancy, that a pigpen with real, live pigs therein was placed recently, but from which the animals were removed in_compliance with popular protest. ‘When Frank Larkin conveyed to Clement C. Griscom what was known as the Larkin house property, it was supposed that he conveyed all of the Jand he then own2d on Watch Hill point, the deed given describing the ‘as bounded on the south by land probate court has no jurisdiction to require the executor te file an account nor to consider such an account if filed. Judge Burke ordered that the executor be given leave to withdraw his first account, heretofore filed with the court. ‘Parties in interest who are dissatis- fied with the doings of the executor may bring suit against the bond. The only authority the probfte court has in such cases is to order an increase in bond or a strengthening of security upon petition: of parties in interest. Local Laconics.

It ‘was discovered later that the original deed to the government did not in- clude all of the land occupied by the government, and as some of the origi- nal monuments has disappeared it was a difficult matter to determine the ac- tual north boundary of the govern- ment’s property.

These ,agreements signed by ine parties and filed in the Jand evidence records of the town of Westerly, are not intend- ed to bperate as deeds from the gov ermment, for land which it had occu- pied for ovar twenty years, and to which it had thus gained ihe right of title by adverse possession, but it is specifically declared that these agree- ments are to operate simply as a defi nition of the agreed boundary line, in- asmuch as the old line could not eas- 1ly_be determined. ~ During these negotiations and be. fore the agreements wer: executed by the government, Mr. Griscom had his sea wall extended and his souta boun- dary fence removed to the new line so as to enclose this valuable forty-foot rip, extending from the ocean to the Sound, with his property. Mr. Larkin Jdid mot move in the matter at that time, further than to serve notice for- bidding the extending of the walls and enclosing the strip by Mr. Griscom. Tuesday, however, Mr. Larkin pro- ceeded te take possession of the dis puted property, and having securad the services of the H. T. Kenyon company. buliders, commenced to erect a struc ture on the premises for the accomm)- daflon, as lodgings, of some of the young men employed by him at the bathing pavilion. He,also had a row of stubs placed on the old north lina, or formerly supposed north line, of the government property, with the inten- tion of replacing the fence which Mr. Griscom had removed to the new lin This work was scarcely under way when it was ordered stopped and short- 1y afterward Mr. Larkin was summon- ed to appear in the September term of the superior court and answer to an action of trespass.

The question of title to this valuable strip of 1and 1s a decidedly intricate and interesting onme, as the land in question was in the adverse possession of the government when the Griscom deed was executed, and though that deed described-the property transferred from Larkin to Griscom as extending to the land of the government, and as bounded on the seuth by the land of the government, the stone monuments referred to and indicated on the plat which was referred to in tha deed, and through which the southerly line was described as passing, were located on the old line or former assumed line be- tween the land of the government and the Larkin house property. Judge Edward M. Burke held regular session of the Westerly probate court v afternoon and final disposition was made of the estate of Annie S. B. Jenes, insofar as the executor's ac count is concerned. Judge Burke decreed that upon ex- amination of the entire records of the estate the court finds that Isaac Jones, the executor, filed a bond to pay all debts and legacies, Nov. 8, 1905, the bond bzing approved by Wiiliam Hox- sey, then probate clerk; and that bond is 'still in force. Therefore, in accord- ance with the statutes and decisions of the supreme court of the state, the es- tate is merged in the bond, and the Oh! Dance with Joy!
