Counsel contended that it proved that defendant must have, had his suspicion iir the matter. His Honor : As regards' the boundary line my feeling is that defendant could not now turn" round .on that question. Continuing, Mr. Burnard said the de. fefidant seemed to have lett the matter entirely, m the hands of plaintiff to use his own discretion, and, further, did not go to the fence, although only two hours' walk. away, to see how it was getting , along. Defendant's attitude was that ho "wanted' 'everything -for nothing." * . ■ ' Decision was reserved' till 10 a.m. today.-
