In Meriden yesterday there was some
excitement in the legal fraternity over
what is termed big fight on in that city
between parties who were said to be backed
by the Consolidated road and the NewYork
and New England, over the contemplated |
lease of the Meriden, Waterbury and Con-
necticut River road to the latter. The an |
nual meeting of the Meriden road to ratify |
the lease was held yesterday. Lawyer
Coolidge and another attorney from Boston
awoke Deputy Sheriff Downes at o'clock
a. m. to serve papers on the officials of the
Meriden and New England roads. The
Boston attorneys, who represent Paine,
| Webber & Co. of Boston, were certain
| that Charles A. Prince of Boston arrived
| in Meriden in the night, but he could not
be found by the sheriff.
Downs, however, served papers upon
Secretary George Rockwell of the Meriden
road. The paper is a summons from the
| supreme court of Massachusetts ordering
hearing on a bill of equity in thirty days
to show cause why the lease should be per-
fected. The Consolidated road is said to be
behind Paine, Webber & Co.
