Ambler, of Queens te WOMAN'S ISLAND GARRISON DEFIES CTY WITH GUNS Guardians of Sunken Meadows Declare ‘Truce to Test Title in Court. CLAIM ON OLD GRANT.

The Court soon heard from the law firm of Finch & Coleman, of No. 2 Nassau street, that the city had butted in on the Sunken Meadows in the most outrageous fashion. The fsland, de- clared the lawyers, !s the property of Mrs. Oliver Livingston Jones, who 1s Gescendet from the Joneses of colonial @ays and whose title to the Sunken Meadows dates back to a patent granted to her ancestors by Queen Anne. City’s “Full House” Title. The city claims title to the land by some other process that goes back to @ “full house’ patent, or, in other words, a patent containing three kings and a pair of queens in the deal. But the Joneses have remained in pocses- sion, and, as Plackstone or Coke or @ome other venerably dead law inter- preter was pleaspd to remark, posses- ion ts nine points of the law. Lately Mrs. Jones's lawyers have fortified their possession with five watchmen, who for two years have Patrolied the faland night and day, bearing arms—shotguns and .45-calibre Tevolvers—with which to repel board- ers. Riohard Mahon has commanded this Nttle garrison. He was In command yesterday when City Surveyor James B. Crowley, two assistant surveyors and two men from the Dock Department sailel out and at tempted n landing on the Sunken Mead- ows, Mahon met the officials as they headed in, and permitted them to look into the double bore of a shoteun He called out to them that they could > take thelr chofce of remaining afloat, or landing amid a shower of buckshot They went back to talk the thing over with commissioners and deputy missioners.

Mahon and his garrison came out with their guns to meet the approach- ing naval demonstration, There was a parley, at the conclusion of which Mahon consented to go with three of his men to court and test t rights, He left one man with a shotgun, still maintaining the possession for Mrs, Oliver Livingst-n Jones When Mrs. Jones's lawyers heard that four-fifths of the garrison had been kid- napped by the marine patrolmen and were arraigned in the Harlem Court, they said things about the high-handel methods of city officials and promised to get all sorts of writs and injunctions in behalf of their client “This is the most oulrageous proceed- ing I ever heard of.” said Mr. Coleman. “The city Knows that our title to the Sunken Me: best, and the Dock Com {the Corporation Counsel know t re in lawful pos- session, Off an , for one hundred ears the city has been claiming title to he island, but it never had confidence enough in’ its te to make an issue of it in court. City Once Paid Rent. “Why, fifteen or twenty. years ago, the city acknowledged our title by rent- ing a portion of the island from us. The present action ts taken, because of a bill passed by ‘the Legis- lature recently, in which the State assed to the city whatever title the tate had to tae island. The city is going ahead now, just as !f that’ dill gave the city the Sunken Meadows, Whereas the State had no more actual title to the Island than the city had. We will go after this thing In the courts now, prove our title, as well as our possession.” Mrs. Oliver Livingston Jones ts one of the richest women in the State and N the biggest landholder in S800 County, Long Island.
