A verdict of not guilty was rendered by
the jury in the case of Charles Crowley of
Meriden, charged with assaulting little
boy named John O'Neil.
Probate Court-Judge Robertson.
Alling & Webb, counsel for the Good
year India Rubber Shoe company of
Naugatuck instituted one of the most IN
usual legal proceedings in the annals of
jurisprudence in this state yesterday.
The Goodyear company appeared as credit
ors in the involuntary insolvency pro-
ceedings of the Union Waterproof Shoe
company of this city and the counsel for
the Goodyear company secured from
Judge Fem of the superior court a writ
of prohibition which forbids Judge Rob-
ertson from acting in the insolvency pro-
ceedings of the Union Shoe company.
The writ virtually ties the hands of Judge
Robertson, and in this case, which was
brought in his own court, he cannot act
until the writ has been set aside ny the
superior court. The writ was served upon
Judge Robertson yesterday morning and
when the hearing in the case in question
came mp in his court all he could do was
to continue it.
The Goodyear Rubber Shoe company on
September attached the property of the
Union Waterproof Shoe company of this
city. In October, while this suit was still
pending, Fayerwesther & Ladeau of New
York put supplementary attachment on
| the property of the company and made an
| application to the probate court for the
| appointment of trustee to force the COM
| pany to make an involuntary assignment.
| The hearing in these proceedings was set
| for November 4. On November 3 the
Goodyear India Rubber Glove company,
| who made the first attachment, settled the
claim of Fayerweather & Ladeau and got
them to file an application to the probate
| court for withdrawal of their petition
for the appointment of a trustee.
When the matter came up yesterday G.
Clayton Munson aud L. W. Beecher ap-
peared and desired to be made parties to
the insolvency proceedings. Judge Robert
son held that the petition was still pend
ing because no action had been taken on
the withdrawal before the creditors had
filed their application to be made parties
to the proceedings, therefore the court
| found the estate insolvent and set down
yesterday for hearing on the appointment
of trustee. The Goodyear company took
exception to this ruling, and through their
attorneys Immediately made application to
| Judge Fem of the superior court for 6
writ of prohibition be issued forbiddine
Judge Robertson from declaring the estate
insolvent and appointing trustee. The
application was asked for on the ground
that when the application of withdrawn
was filed the case was removed from the
Jurisdiction of the court, and that Their
and there the insolvency proceedings came
to an end.
Hearing on the application will be hac
this morning before Judge Fem, but il
probably will be continued. Until this ii
settled the case in the probate court has
been continued until November 10.
The lawyers interested in this case arr
Wright & Hotchkiss, who appear fol
Fayerweather & Ladeau, P. W. Chase
who appears for Munson, Beecher and
other creditors, and Alling & Webb, coun
sci for the Goodyear company.
