 Judge Thayer has announced his deci- sion in the suit of Mrs Nellie O'Grady of New Haven, who sued Roderigo council. Knights of Columbus, for $1 ,0OO insur- ance on her husbands life. The suit was tried before him last month and it was claimed by the defendant, that her husband, member of Roderigo council, was behind in his dues and had forfeited his membership thereby, but on the day before his death, in August, 1890, the dues were paid and the secretary of the council gave receipt for the same. The supreme court of the order, however, refused, to allow the insurance to be paid, claiming that O'Grady had for feited his membership. As the verdict is in favor of the defendant, Mrs OGrady cannot collect the insurance.
