Lincoln L. McOandless has
won his suit against tho John Ii
Estato, Limited. Tho unanimops
opinion of tho Supremo Oourt is
by Ohiof Justico Judd, with
whom sat on tho caso Justico
Whiting and H. E. Cooper of tho
Bar.
Tho caso turns on whother an
agreement rosombling a lease
mado by C. A. Brown to MoCand
I08B, of land owned by tho wifo of
Brown, can bo enforcod. It was
an agreement to give tho "Wai
pio"land up for tho" breeding and
fattening of cattlo" froo of chargo,
the cattlo belonging to both
Brown and McOandless and tho
profits to be equally dividod bo-
tweon thorn. The arrangemont or
partnership was for a torm of
fiftoon years from September G,
1893, and it was consontod to and
confirmod by Mrs. Brown. Ono
Horn oE tho law declared is this:
"A husband marryiog a wifo
owning roal estato, boforo the
Married Woman's Act of 1888,
has tho right to leaeo or otherwise
disposo of hor property with her
written consent for a definito torm
pending his natural life."
Other points, condensed, aro:
Tho agroomont doos not create a
rovocablo liconso but an'intcrest
in land. A covenant by a lessor
that tho land bo nsed in a parti
cular way can bo enforced in
equity. Reservations of certain
portions of the wholo land indi
cate -that tho parts not reserved
woro intended for tho pur
poses sot tortu in tno
agreement. Tho covenant' binds
tho covenantee and uib assigns
who take with notico. Whore a
eovonant is capablo of spocifio en
forcement, its threatened broach
mav bo enjoined.
Tho appeal was from a decroo of
a Circuit Judgo overruling a de
murrer, and tno oupromo Uourt
confirms the decreo. The suit of
McCandloss was to onjoin tho Ii
corporation, in whom Mrs. Brown's
title is vested, from leasing water
rights and two portions of tho
land aggregating 1G0O acros to
tho Oahu Sugar Co.
Since tho decision was filed at
noon, it has boon road by tho attor
neys on both sides. Mr. Msgoon for
tho dofendant says "all is not
lost," taking comfort form a state
ment in tho body of tho deoision
reading as follows:
" Tho interest of plaintiff in the
land is limited to his ubo of it for
the food and water it producod as
sustenance of tho cattlo of tho
partnership and ho could not ubo
it for any purposo not essential to
this purpose. Then why could the
defendant divert any portion of
tho land by leaso or salo from tho
spocial uso to which it was dovot
oJ by the argreemont? It
oould not, if by so doing
tho intorest of tho plaintiff
us copartner was injured. It is
avorrod in tho bill that suoh an
aot wonld produoo irroparablo in
jury. Of course such avorment
would nave to bo establisued."
Mr. Magoon upon this claims
that tho plaintiff has yot to prove
irroparablo damages. And that
thero is no nood of new proceed
ings iu that regard, as this deci
sion only sustains tho demurrer,
Howover, tho following from tho
conclusion ot tho opinion appears
somewhat decialvo:
"It seems to ub that the Court
can specifically onforoe tho agroo
mont and it is oxtremely doubtful
if a resort to an aotion at law for
damages, if it could bo brought,
would afford compensation. How
could tho damages bo computed,

Yesterday aftornoon Messrs J.
B. Athortou aud L. A. Thurston

of tho planters.
Presidont Dolo favored tho

Washington in tho steamer Nip
pon Maru's mail. It contained
now light upon tho Newlands

"luey construo tho Nowlands

It is known that tho plantors
