Bush, who are counsel for Wilson Waddingham, the West Haven millionaire, in suit brought against the West Shore Land Improvement company by Margaret Tyler, who claims $50, 900 damages. Her interests were repre- sented by Attorney Ta1cott H. Russell. A demurrer by the defense was sustained few weeks ago, and yesterday MT. Russell offered an amended complaint embodying thirty five points in favor of his clients claims.

 The allegations referring to alleged trans actions between Waddinghan and Kimber- ly and Tyler long anterior to the formation of the company, were also objected to. His honor reserved his decision.
