The appeals were from de- cisions handed down by Judge Mad- den, at the last sitting of the County Court, in the cases of Powell vs. Simpson and Knight vs. Lelonde. Mr. W. M. Nickle appeared for the exe- cutors of the Powell estate and Mr. Cliff Reynolds for Mrs. Lalonde. In the case of Powell vs. Simpson, the Appeal Court held that if a land- lord rented property to second ten- ant, during the life of a lease, with the first tenant, that the landlord could not hold the first tenant to the lease. In the Knight vs. Lalonde case the court was called on to decide whether a widow had undisputed right to the first $1,000 of the es- tate left by her husband, or if there were creditors, they should be paid before the widow would receive any- thing. The court decided that the creditors must be paid before any of the beneficiaries should receive any- thing. " The Affirmative Won.
