 A disputed claim in the estate of the late Desire S. Farren of East Haven was heard yesterday. Mrs. Farren died April 15, 1889. For many years she occupied her estate in East Haven and for twenty-four years her son, James D. Farren, and his wife lived with her. They have presented g claim against the estate for $1, ,448.O and the administrator, Henry P. Bradley, is contesting it. They claim that between the years 1877 and 1889 they paid out $67 43 in taxes for Mrs. Farrens property, and insurance to the amount of $7. They claim for Mr. Farren's board, washing and ironing for over five years from January 1, 1884, the sum of $1 ,373.63. The ad- ministrator claims the rent more than balanced Mrs. Farren's board. All the estate left by Mrs. Farren is piece of property which the administrator has agreed to sell for $905.
