The defence consisted in the fact that Mrs Sly had previously erected 17 rods of fencing on the same line, some years ago at her own expense, and that that fence was still there, and together with the 14 rods lately erected by her, made up her half of the dividing line. Evidence was given in support of this by Mrs Bailey, Mr Henry Sly, and Mr J Shepherd, who erected the old fencing. The Bench would not take into consideration anything regarding the old fence and gave a ver dict for plaintiff.

Obituary.
One of the oldest and most respected, and
also one of the best known residents of
Richmond, in the person of Mrs. Sophia
Sly, of March street passed away to that
bourne, from whence no traveller returns
on Friday morning last, at the age of 75
years. The deceased was a native of
Richmond. She had been ailing for a long
time prior to her death. Many years
ago she kept the Black Horse Hotel, now
occupied by her son William, and one
thing that characterised her long life was
her liberality and kind heartedness. She
leaves a number of sons and daughters,
and a larger number of grand and great-
grand children. The children who sur-
vive her are : Messrs. William, Walter,
Charles, John and Harry Sly, Mrs. Bailey
(Richmond), James Sly, and Mrs. C Mills
(Strathfield). The funeral took place on
Saturday afternoon last. Leaving the
house at 2 p.m., the coffin was carried by
a number of friends to St. Peter's Church
of England Cemetery. The Rev. J.
Howell Price and Rev. Dr. Cameron
conducted the funeral service, both clergy
men making reference to the life of the
deceased. The coffin which was of pol-
ished cedar, mounted with silver, and was
covered with beautiful wreaths. The
funeral arrangements were carried out by
Mr. Arthur Price.
