The summary process brought by FL
len Hawkins of Bridgeport against Hen
~ Tyler of Holland hill was tried before
Justice j. ID. Toomey, ,Ir, last week We'd
nesday afternoon. Judgment was for
the plaintiff to recover her land and dam
ages. The defendant moved for a writ
of error to the Superior court and was

The article in outside papers about a
''scrap" between President Brothwell of
the board of health and John t. Dono-
van is a bit of fiction.
Commencing last Monday, the hearing
on the case of the railroad against j. d.
Toomey was continued through the
week, ending Friday, when arguments
were made. The witnesses for the rail-
road were partly as given in the BEE,
last week; others were G.. w. Longstaff

builders, Bridgeport; w. A. Smith of
Savage q Smith, Bridgeport, Assessor
A. E. Bartram of Bridgeport. These
testified as to the value of the buildings
on Mr. Toomey's land, the two former
saying $500 and Mr. Bartram $500.
James Staples of Bridgeport gave the
value of real estate in Fairfield as it had
been years ago, when he sold number of
fine places. These were witnesses for
the railroad. Those for Mr. Toomey were
Benjamin B. Buckley of Green's Farms,
Selectman Richard B. Jennings, Stephen
Jennings, John FL. Jennings, Selectman
Rufus B. Jennings, Horace Jennings,
W. B. Nichols, John McGarry, George
Smith, Selectman Edward Hawkins,
Real Estate Agent III. Ell. Scribner of
Bridgeport, Town Clerk F. M. Pike, E.
W. S. Pickett, Herman Grosser, J. d.
Tooney. There was deal of sameness
about the testimony, the estimates of the
value of the property being from $35, 900
to $4,000 for the land and buildings
only, the intrinsic value of the business
done by Mr. Toomey not being taken up
by the witnesses. The arguments were
made, Friday, each side being given an
hour and half, of which half an hour
each was given to Lawyers Bishop and
j. d. Toomy, Jr, and an hour each to
Lawyers Stoddard and Glover. The
arguments fairly bristled with law
points. AS the grounds in question had
been visited by the committee, Hon
Coughlin, Talmage, Baker and Lawyer
II. M. Knapp, short time ago, it was
not deemed necessary to make a second
trip. Decision was reserved, but was
expected, this week.
