Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-10-30


relation to this matter are from the Boston
journal: Some two weeks since Chief Justice
Chapman, OF the supreme court assigned Satur-
day, October 2Sth, for hearing on
the acceptance Of the report of the
commissioners appointed on the location OF
a Union passenger depot at Worcester. The
counsel representing the various interests APP
peared before Judge Amcs Saturday morning,
when the point was raised by parties apparently
dissatisfied with the report that the matter could
not be heard before Judge in vacation, bnt
only in term time Judge Ames remarked that
at the lime the hearing was set down the chief
justice had no doubt that the business of the
late term would be prolonged until that time,
but its business had been flushed week before.
Hon. f. L. HOar representing the Boston and
Albany railroad company, thought that counsel
might agree TO waive the mere technical objec-
ton, which was the result of mistake, and have
the hearing proceed, but as other counsel Oh
jcctcd and desired delay, he asked that an early
day might be fixed for an adjudication of the
matter. After further discussion Judge Ames
decided that the question might be argued on
the 18Th of November, when the Suffolk county
court again came in.
