BY THE CONSOLIDATED ROAD.

Two Demurrers FiIed-The Lease of
 the Old Colony Railroad-Important
 Railroad Hearing.
 BOSTON, Dec. 11.-J. N. Benton, counsel for the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company, has filed in the supreme court two demurrers in the suit brought against the company by Theodore R. Glover to set aside the lease of the Old Colony Railroad company to the Now Haven.
 The first demurrer Is that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany and contains seven causes of demurrer as follows: First, that the plaintiff has not stated such case as entities him to relief in equity as prayed for; second, that the plaintiff has been guilty of laches and de- lay in regard to the matters and things set forth in the bill, and is not therefore en- titled to relief in equity; third, that 1t doss not appear in and by the plaintiffs bill that the plaintiff before filing said bill or at any time, did any act or thing to in duco the New York, New Haven and Hart
 ford Railroad company, or it's direc- SoA53 Aop " AOS OA tO PASSSHAS
 them from doing the act of which the plaintiff now complains, nor does 1t appear by the bill that there was an excuse for his failure to take action to prevent the doing of the things complained of; fourth, that 1t does not appear that the plaintiff pro- tested against the acts of the defendant, or I its directors, of which he complains in his bill, or that he did not know of such acts, or that there is any excuse for his not pro- testing against said acts when they were done; fifth, that 1t does not appear by the bill that the plaintiff has taken any action to bring the matters and things complained of in his bill to the attention of the other shareholders of the New York, New Ha-
 induce them to take action thereon; sixth,
 because 1t appears by the bill that there
 are other persons. to wit, those
 to whom shares of the capital stock of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company are alleged to have been issued in excess of the amount
 of its capital authorized by the law, and
 which shares now held by them the bill
 prays may be declared void, who are neces-
 sary parties defendant to this suit, and are
 not made parties thereto; seventh, because
 it appears by the bill that there are other
 persons, to wit, those persons to whom
 shares of the capital stock of the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
 company have been issued in exchange for
 shares of the capital stock of the Old Col
 ony Railroad company, and who have
 transferred their shares in the capital stock
 of the Old Colony company upon the terms
 named in said lease, and which shares of
 said Old Colony stock the bill prsys may be returned to them who are necessary parties defendant to this suit and who are not made parties thereto.
 The demurrer filed by the Old Colony Railroad company is substantially the same as the demurrer of the Consolidated road.
 No time has yet been fixed upon for a hearing.
