  NUISANCE — Trees overhanging Neighbour's Land for more than Twenty Years — Right to abate Nuisance without Notice.
  LORD HERSCHELL L.C.:— My Lords, the question raised by this appeal is whether, where branches of trees overhang the soil of another person, the person whose soil they overhang is entitled to remove those branches without notice to his neighbour on whose side of the boundary the trees grow. It is not disputed that if such notice be given, and if the neighbour do not remove the boughs, the person whose land they overhang would be entitled to do so, subject to the questions raised on the Prescription Act and the Statute of Limitations, which I will deal with in

  07 May 1895 [1895] AC 371, HL

  HUSBAND AND WIFE — Marriage Contract — Right of Husband's Creditors.
  LORD HERSCHELL L.C.:— The sole question in this case is whether the appellant, the wife of Sir William Eliott of Stobs, is entitled to require the payment to her of an annuity of £1000 from the respondent, which depends upon the question whether she has an onerous right in competition with the creditors of Sir William Eliott. The claim is founded on a bond of annuity of the 24th of March, 1879, executed by Sir William Eliott in contemplation of his marriage with the appellant. By that instrument Sir William Eliott bound himself to pay to the appellant “to be

  DIVORCE — Desertion — Reasonable Cause.
  May 16. LORD HERSCHELL L.C.:— The appellant seeks a divorce from his wife. He claims it upon the ground that she deserted him for four years without any reasonable cause. His claim is founded on the Divorce Act of 1573. That Act made it sufficient cause of divorce if either spouse “diuertis fra vtheris companie without ane ressonabill caus alledgeit or deducit befoir ane Judge and remanis in thair malicious obstinacie be the space of four yeiris.” The remedy could, however, only be obtained by means of an action for due adherence. It was necessary that the defender should be
