Probate Court-Judae Robertson.

The hearing upon the administration
account of Arthur Wright continued
yesterday. Attorneys Webb and Bennett,
who appear for Bethuel Phelps and Mrs.
Hinton, daughter of the late Colonel Dexter
R. Wright, claim that Mr.. Wright, the adj
ministrator, has not made q full accounting.
Mr.. Wright claims that he has. Lynde Har-
rison appeared for Mr.. Wright. Mr.. Wright
said that ne did not inventory property out
of the State because it was not the thing to
do, and he did not inventory the property on
Park street because the title was in dispute.
He said that his father gave him his own
library and also 81 900 for services rendered.
Attorney Wright concluded his testimony
yesterday morning by stating that when Mr.
Phelps claimed all the property he agreed to
give him deeds to Park street and Hart
ford property with the understanding that
they were never to be recorded and at his
death to be returned to Mrs. Wright. The
deeds were placed in the hands of Attorney
Logan of New York and in the presence of
witness, his brother, Uncle Phelps so in
stl ucted Lawyer Logan.
Attorney Webb then asked:
"Mr. Wright, was not this a scheme by
which all the heirs were to be induced to re-
sign their interest to Mr.. Phelps, who in turn
should assign it to your mother, thus giving
her possession of all the property and power
to give it to her favorite son, and did you
not at the time know that such was the
scheme when you gave these deeds to Uncle
Phelps?"
f.The object" said Mr. Wright, twas to
put Mrs Wright in control OF the property,
SO she could do what was right by all the
children" The hearing was adjourned until
| next Monday afternoon at o'clock.

The case of the town Of Guilford vs.. the
town of New Haven, which has been before
Judge Studley. was yesterday reserved for
advice of the Supreme Court of Errors. The
facts of the case ATE as follows: Michael Du-
gan came to this city from Ireland in 1866.
A year afterward he went to. Pennsylvania,
where he staid for thirteen months, since
which time he has lived continuously in this
city, being employed as a quarryman. On
May 18, 1887, as there was a strike amongst
the qusrrymen, he went to work for John
Beattie in Guilford, expecting, the town of
Guilford claims, to come back to New Haven
as soon as the strike there ended, and he had
worked in Guilford but two days when he
was stricken with paralysis. At the time he
went to Guilford he had no property, but on
March 8, 1878, he bought a piece of land
which he sold in 1884. He was taken to the
hospital, and the town of Guilford has been
paying 81 week for his board there. The
town of Guilford claims that Dugan really
belonged to the town of New Haven to take
care of, and 80 has brought suit to recover
the amount which should have been paid up
to the time Judgment in the case is rendered.

Before Ex-Governor Harrison in the Bar
library yesterday was resumed the hearing in
the case of ex-senator c. D. Yale VS.. Simp-
son, Hall, Miller 6 Co. of Wallingford. This
is much itigated case. The plaintiff sued
the concern for $14, 900. The defendant
claimed that through the mismanagement of
their New York house by the two sons of the
plaintiff they were out nearly 100000. Mr..
Andrews, the bookkeeper in Wallingford
testified yesterday. He said the plaintiff
wouldn't let anybody interfere with the New
York store Mr.. Simpson was to testify, but
was unable to be present. VIM. j. Barbour,
salesman, also testified. Nothing of impor-
lance was brought out at the hearing.
Settled without n Law Sult.-The TeIe.
phone and the Electric Light.
Yesterday morning the attorneys in the
case of the Southern New England Tele
phone company vs.. the Middletown Electric
Light company made an amieable settlement
thus obviating the expense of lawsuit.
The Electric Light company has been run
ming its wires in close proximity to the wires
of the Telephone company, and consequent
" there has been more or less inconvenience
placed upon the Middletown telephone sub
scribers. The hearing upon the injunction
was to come off yesterday, but has been post
poned indefinitely. The Middletown peo-
pie, according to the terms of the agree
ment, say they will remedy the
evil complained of as soon as
practicable, and to hurry the work along the
plaintiff agrees to allow gang of men now
at work in Hartford to 60 to Middletown and
assist in the work. AS to the expense, the
telephone people will bring the matter up
before the next meeting of the directors and
if it is thought advisable the plaintiff will
contribute its share for the expenses of NOV
ing the electric wires. Both parties agree
that the case be continued until the annoy
ance complained of is remedied without ex-
pense to either party.
