COURT RECORD.
Probate Court-Judge Robertson.
This court was yesterday the scene of an
interesting contest over the appointment
of trustee on the insolvent estate of the
Enterprise Installment company. There
were two proceedings in connection with
this estate which came up. One was as to
the appointment of trustee on the invol-
untary proceedings which had been previ-
ously passed upon, the concern being de-
clared insolvent upon application of the
creditors, and the second was upon the ap-
pointment of trustee for voluntary pro-
ceedings, which had been fled by the firm
after the involuntary proceedings had been
brought.
The first question which came up was as
to which of the proceedings should be con-
tinued-the involuntary or voluntary.
Some of the creditors were represented by
Attorneys Wright, Gallagher and Ingersoll,
while Attorney Jonathan Chaplin appeared
not only for the company, but for the ma
jority of the creditors. The total amount
of claims against the estate was little over
Sc, 100, of which Mr.. Chaplin represented
Ingersoll desired that the involuntary pro-
oeedings be continued with, and as there
was no objection the voluntary proceed
ings were dropped and the involuntary
proceedings begun.
Attorney Chspin Immediately proposed
James J. Redmond of Wallingford for
trustee. Mr.. Redmond had been named
for trustee in the voluntary assignment
fled by the company and he was acceptable
to the creditors whom Mr.. Chaplin repre-
scented.
The other attorneys at once objected on
the ground that they understood that Mr..
Redmond was personal friend OF Mr. Cos
tello, the treasurer OF the concern, and he
feared that he would not go to ,e bottom
of affairs. As the opposition 10 Mr.. Red
mond was SO strong Judge Robertson sug
gested that the attorneys consult AMI ses
If they could not decide upon some one
who would be acceptable to all concerned.
After a short consultation the name of
Jason P. Thomson was suggested to Mr..
Chaplin, Mr.. Thomson being associated
with him In his Office, and he was accepted
and his appointment confirmed by the
court. This for the present settles mat
ters, but there Is liable to be considerable
