Certiorari as of right — Mandamus —— Omission to appeal against — Delay —

46 THE IRISH REPORTS. [I. Exchequer. Blades v. Higgs (1) applies to this case, and I can come to no other 1874. conclusion than this, that an action of trover will lie for seaweed, BREW at suit of a person on -whose land it has been cast, against a tres- v. HA-av,N. passer on that land, who takes it, and converts it to his own use. I therefore concur with my brother Fitzgerald, that there was no misdirection, and that the verdict for the Plaintiff ought to stand. Conditional order discharged. Attorney for the Plaintiff : C. B.

Semble, that it was not necessary for the Commissioners to set out on the face of the orders the specific grounds of their adjudication. MOTION, on behalf of the Earl of Listowel, for a conditional order for a mandamus, directed to...
