COURT R gCORD.
Supreme Court.


 An important hearing was held yester- day afternoon before Chief Justice An drews ia the superior court room. It related to the registration at the comptroller E office of the proposed New York and New England railroad bonds.
 John W. filling, counsel for the Gold smiths of Boston, who are opposing the registration of the bonds, and Attorney Simeon E. Baldwin, counsel for the rail road, appeared before the chief justice. Justice Andrews granted an order preventing any negotiation of bonds until he shall have ap- pointed superior court judge to he,r the mo- tion for temporary injunction in the case and I that judge shall have passed on 1t. This was a preliminary victory for Mir. filling. But Just ce Andrews also passed an order re- quirng the plaintiff to file bond of S25, 900 to prevent the New England road from loss if they win their case and the injunction is dis solved.
 Mir. Baldwin expressed impatience at the delay and said that every day meant loss of $l00Co to the road.
 By agreement of counsel the supreme court sat with four members in this city yesterday hearing Middletown case The January term dnes not open until to day, but the counsel in this case was quits anxious that the suit should be argued at this time. go the court came down here and in the absence Of Chief Justice Andrews four judges he eard the case. They were Judges Car penIer, Torrance, Fem and J. M. Hall. The case was that of he city of Midoletown vs. the New York, New H .ven and Hartford Railroad com parties are fighting for precedent. bridge on Main street, Midoletown, was replanked at the city's expense. Then the city brought suit against the railroad company to reimburse them for the payment of the bill. The railroad con- pany refused to pay. and claim that by @ recent act uf the general assembly they are not respon- sible for the payment of the bill. The judges af- ter hearing this case went into consultation on suits previously argued.
