against N. F. Goldsmith & Co., wholesale
liquor dealers in Boston, and Edward F.
Knowlton of New York for $3.50, 900 dam
ages for alleged conspiracy to injure the
railroad by bringing succession of suits
in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Con-
| necticut. One of these suits was that
brought by them in Hartford county last
| June to prevent the comptroller from
registering $3.50, 900 in bonds of the Provi-
denoe and Springfield road guaranteed by
the New England road. In that suit they
secured q temporary injunction from
Judge Robinson of Middletown without
giving an injunction bond, and few
days afterwards, on the hearing of tine
| Now England road, he dissolved
the injunction. Messrs. Goldsmith &
Co. and Knowlton have brought up to
| this time eight or more different suits to
| head off the New England road from TAX
| ing various steps towards developing its
business, their claim being that these acts
are illegal or would be prejudicial to their
interests as stockholders. They own $21 )
900 in the stock of the road and the total
| capital is over 500. 600. 900.
Simeon E. Baldwin, the counsel for the
New England, states that bonds had been
sold and the proceeds were needed for bet
terments. On the basis of this sale, con.
tracts for improvements to the amount Of
several hundred thousand dollars had been
made, portion of which was for section
of double track and all that was necessary
now was the registering of the bonds. The
improvements were necessary for the bet
terment of the property and the suits
againts the road were very silly.
