 The case of Michael McNamara, who peti- tioned the Probate court for the removal of his conservator, Patrick Bree, has excited 8 good deal of interest in Fair Haven. Mo Namara lives on Saltonstall avenue. and has an estate valued a5 from $10O to $20O. He
 was taken insane some time ago and was sent to the alrnshouse and later to the insane re- treat. He was recently discharged from the insane retreat as the authorities there thought he was a safe person to be at large. When Michael got out he at once commenced pro- eeedings to obtain control of his property which the court had placed in MT. Bree's hands, Attorney T. J. Fox represented kc- Nanara, and the case was heard in the Fro bate court last Friday. MT. Fox had several witnesses. One of them was an old lady, who in response to questions from Attorney W. P. Niles, who appeared for MT Bree, stated that she had known MT. MacNamara for some time, and that he was no more 1n- sane now than he was when he went to the asylum. Several young men testified and stated that they had been acquainted with MeNamara for quite while. One or two of them, in reply to MT. Niles questions, said that they had talked with him in May and June last and that he was apparently as sane now as he had been then. The record showed that in May and June AcNamara had

 Dr. M. O. Cremin had previously testified, but on the cross examination, when asked if he thought man who had been 50 frequent ly taken with insane fits as McNamara would be liable to recurrence, stated that he thought he would. Dr. Roberts, testimony was not much more favorable to McNanaara yesterday. He now said that he considered that the patient inherited insanity. He other attacks. Dr. M. c. White said The could not tell what caused NcNamara's s insane fits, but he was not prepared to say that the insanity was inherent as he did not know enough about the case to make such an assertion. No evidence was put in for MT. Bree, but Attorney Niles moved that the case be dismissed. Judge Robertson said he would not dismiss the case, neither would he remove the conservator, but if NeNamara after three or four months appeared to be perfectly com potent to manage his own affairs he would think that reason for further considering the ease.
