 An action by s. E. Merwin & Son to set aside a quit claim deed given by Philip Hugo was commenced. It ie claimed that the deed set aside to James D. Dewel and John A. Richardson all his real estate. At the time MT. Hugo made the assignment he had paid up, it is claimed considerable part of his New York indebtness, but was owing nearly $10,0O0 contracted since the assignment. One of these later creditors is the plaintiff in the pending action. They are trying to get the deed of conveyance set aside on the ground that the terms of the conveyance did not stipulate that it was made as trust. It is claimed, however, by letters between MT. Hugo and the other parties that it vas the in- tention of all concerned to make it 8 trust deed. The New York creditors oppose the attempt to set aside the conveyance. After the papers had been read Judge Stoddard ex- pressed the opinion that the action could not stand in it's present form and further proceed ings were deferred until ths next bar meet ing, to give the counsel time for consulta- tions. The lawyers are 0. s. Hamilton, Julius Twiss and s. Harrison Wagner. Superior Court---CriminaI side--Judge
