Mr. D. Foote for the defendant.

Williams, J.

It is to be regarded as almost tragic that a matter filed in these Courts from the 1''

of July, 1980 should some twenty-six years later still be before the court. What maltes it

The claimants, Mr. and Mrs. Gunning have paid for their land but say they have
