The real matter in dispute between the parties was about $7,000 of interest, the greater part of whioh had'aoofnod during the de- lay in getting a deep channel to the eleva tar, caused by the unexpeoted discovery of rook during the sounding of dredging. The 'iniereet ie praotiaally lost money. Neither the town Dor the company wanted to bear the lose, and they could not agree on any basis upon which to share it. Hie Lordshipstronglyurged settlement, and finally it wae agreed that the oompany would' aeenme 92,500 of it and the town bear the rest. Accordingly a judgment was consented to, by whioh the company pays to the town $52,500 on February 1 next, that being the 960,000 of stook whioh the tow» temporarily took in the elevator oompany, together with the oom pany'e share of the interest. Thereupon the town will guarantee the bond° of the company to the extent of $50,000, as agreed. The company is to have ex- emption of taxes for ten years, exoept eoboottaxee, and ie to have free water for fire protection. His Lordehip oongratn• lated the counsel and their oliente on the settlement of what promised to be a pro longed and very ooetly litigation. This concluded the baefneee of the court, • lfil a'Va.
