In the Land Judges’' court in Dublin to-day, after several days' discussion, | Justice Ross delivered judgment re- garding the sale of Lord Ely’s estates, according to which the .tenant for life is not entitled to appropriate the boaus undey the new aet for his own use, but | must hold it subject to.trusts of set-| tlement. K | This important judgment, if uphsld | on appeal, will prevent landlords who | are tenants for life from seiling, as they would thereby lose the chief .in- ducement to sell under the act. The judgment will probably have the effect of suspending all sales and negotia- tions to sell until Parliament has taken steps to remove the doubts and diffi- culties which have arisen jn the inter- pretation of the act. —_—— The Grandeur of a Fashionable Store.
