A decisive ruling was delivered today by His Honor Judge Adams, settling a dispute involving the Limerick County Council. The verdict favored the council with a decree of £10, effectively concluding the case brought forward by Mrs. Annie Geraldine Crosbie Kent, who sought £20 in compensation. The claim pertained to the value of stones quarried and removed from her property at New Garden, situated within County Limerick.

The legal proceedings, which culminated in this ruling, centered on the alleged extraction of stones from Mrs. Kent’s land by the Limerick County Council. Mrs. Kent had asserted that the stones in question held a worth of £20, thus prompting her claim for compensation. The matter, imbued with implications for both parties involved, found resolution today as His Honor Judge Adams decreed in favor of the Limerick County Council.

This outcome underscores the legal channels available for addressing property-related conflicts and emphasizes the role of the judiciary in rendering impartial decisions. The ruling by Judge Adams stands as a definitive conclusion to a matter that carried financial implications for the council and Mrs. Kent alike, providing closure to the dispute over the value of quarried stones from New Garden, County Limerick.
