Defendant denied this .and said that he had offered to buy any land on ■which it was proved the house encroached. Defendant counter-claimed for £'2s for the alleged wrongful cutting of a hedge which divided the properties. It was stated that defendant's house encroached to the extent of 2ft. 9in. His Honor made an order that defendant was entitled to retain the piece of land on payment of £lO. The counter-claim was dismissed, no costs being allowed.
