When the argument~o the writ of
mandamus to compel the selectmen to
collect the Moloney bonds came up be-
fore Judge Thayer at Bridgeport, Friday,
Attorney Stoddard, appearing for the
bondsmen, made motion to quash the
proceedings and throw them out of court.
His reasons were that the writ was not
properly brought. Instead of being in
the name of a few individuals, it should
be in the name of the people and be
brought by the States attorney. He
claimed that the five tax payers (Alonzo
Staples, Simon Banks, William Burr, AL
bert Turney, Stephen Morehouse) who
are represented in this suit have not
sufficient interest to warrant the bringing
of a writ of mandamus. In the second
place. he claimed that the order was not
sufficiently definite. Argument on this
motion to quash will be next in order and
will probably be made at Bridgeport,
Friday of this week.
