LAW REPORT.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23.
NO. 1 JURY COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Owen and a jury of four.)
ACTION OF EJECTMENT. Green v. Stubbs and wife.
Dr. Cullen, instructed by Mr. K. Ryan, of Kiama (by his agent, Mr. A. W. E. Weaver), appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Mack, in- structed by Mr. A. D. Oliver, for the defend- ants.
This was an action brought by Henry Robert Green against John Stubbs and Selina Mary Stubbs, his wife, to recover possession of 48 acres 2 roods of land, situated in the parish of Jamberoo. It appeared that since the writ in the action was issued the original defendant. Mary Anne Green, of Albion Park, had died and the present defendants, who were related to her, had taken her place, and were now in possession. The case for the plaintiff was that in 1862, when he was a child, his father took up the land in his (plaintiff's) name as a con-ditional purchase under the Act of 1861, and when plaintiff reached his majority the selec-tion became his. The defendants, however, disputed his right to possession on the ground that the land was taken up by the mother of the plaintiff instead of the father, and that this was prohibited under the Act of 1861. They also brought evidence to prove that Mrs. Green took the land up - for her family gener-ally.
The jury, returned a verdict for plaintiff.

A DISPUTE AS TO LAND.
Green v Green.
Mr. Broomfield, instructed by Mr. A. D. Oliver, appeared for the defendants in sup- port of a rule nisi for a new trial. The action was originally one by Henry Robert Green against Mary Anne Green, but the latter hav-ing died, John Stubbs and his wife were made defendants. It was brought by plaintiff to re-cover possession of land at Albion Park, in the Kiama district, taken up as a conditional purchase by him in 1862, when he was 12 months old, by his father, under section 13 of the Crown Lands Act of 1861. To prove his title, plaintiff put in evidence the original application for the cp, and proved the hand- writing to be that of his father. The case was heard before Mr. Justice Owen and a jury of four on November 23 last, when a verdict was found in favour of the plaintiff. Counsel stated that on the decision of the Full Court in a similar case of Green v Green, reported in 2 New South Wales State Reports, 381, the rule must be refused, but it was necessary to make the application in order to allow appel-lants to go to the High Court.
The rule was accordingly refused.

SPECIAL LEAVE TO APPEAL
Green v. Green.
Special leave to appeal was granted de-fendants in the case of Green v Green, against the refusal of the Supreme Court to grant them a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ap-plication of Mr. Mack, instructed by Mr. A. D. Oliver. The application was made on the ground that an important point of law was involved. An action for ejectment was brought by Henry Robert Green against his mother, Mary Anne Green. Defendant died during the litigation, there having been two trials, the first on September 15, 1902, and the second on November 23, 1903, and John Stubbs and his wife were made defendants. At the second trial a verdict was given for the plain- tiff, and an application by the defendants for a new trial was not granted by the Full Court.
