The cases of W. F. Harrison and W. O.
Arnold of Meriden, on claim for $50, 900
each against the town of Wallingford for
damages by reason of injuries received by
striking against a leaning telephone pole
on the turnpike, on the evening of Novem-
bsr 1S. 1891, came up yesterday in the
superior court in New Haven for argu-
ment on a demurrer to the complaint,
filed by Messrs. Hubbard & Fowler,
attorneys for the towl of Wallingford.
Inasmuoh as the French Cable company
who own the telephone line, have hereto
fore refused to take up the defense for the
town and agree to save 1t harmless, it
has been the policy of the attorneys for the
town to exercise unusual care that moth
ing should be omitted in the defense of the
case that might hereafter furnish grounds
for any claim by the cable company of
neglect on the part of the town in
case of Judgment being rendered
against the town, and the town
should be compelled to sue the
| company in order to get the whole, and 1t
was in pursuance of this policy that de-
| murrer was filed. Although the demurrers
| were overruled by the court, it decides
nothing as to the merit as the town has
now twenty days to file it's answer to the
case. At the hearing yesterday the plain
