 Judge Shipman has handed down an opin- ion in the case of Dr. Alvord E. Winchell vs. Peter R. Carll and George E. Coney. This is the case relating to the Carll Opera House legal complications, in which a citizen of this State sues citizen of this State and one of another jointly. The case was argued Monday in Hartford on motion to remand to the State court, from which it was claimed it had been improperly removed to the United States court. The original suit was for the foreclosure of 8 mortgage made by Carll and the equity of redemption which had been sold to Coney. Judge Shipman fho Tn,,nnafiont fat tn foreclosures passed in 1878, page 314, and also the session laws of 1875, page 30, and states that the question depends entirely up- on them. His opinion is based upon the law of 1878. The opinion states that the com plainant in order to preserve his legal rights against the maker of the note was compelled to make him party to the complaint for foreclosure. There is but one cause of ac- ton, the mortgage and debt which it se- cured, and the principle is the same as in Ayers vs. Wiswall. The motion to remand Is granted.
