Judgment of the Court

J.-The motion to quash made by the respondent must be dismissed with costs. The controversy relates to a title to land, and the case is therefore appealable.
Upon the merits, the appeal must be dismissed. There is nothing in the appellant's contentions but an *E tempt to. override the clear intentions of the legisor lature by refined technicalities.
He should have been convinced of the unsoundness of his contentions by the reasoning of the learned judge who gave the judgment of the court below, and he cannot expect more from us here, in rejecting his appeal, than a reference to that judgment, and the reasons given in support of it.
The appeal is dismissed with costs.
Motion to quash and appeal both dismissed with costs.
