Townsend.
 Judge Townsend disposed of several cases in this court yesterday. The case of Kinney against the United States to recover money owed the late Major Kinney for ser vices as United States marshal. The sd- ministrator of the estate secured judg- l ment for $l .093. but in eonse qu.nce of a | recent ruling of the United States court 1t | became necessary to reduce the judgment | to come within the ruling. The case came | up on a motion to correct the judgment. The motion was granted and the judgment was reduced to $890 50. The case of Stanton against the United States for: services as district attorney also came up under tt same ruling and for mer judgment was reduced from $1 500 to ! $1 ,5S0.
 The case of John F. Symonds of Man chester, charged with sending threatening postal cards to O. H. Cables of Terryville, came up on demurrer by the defendant. Two of the three counts were dismissed by the judge and the third was sustained.
 Superior Court - Civn Side - Judge | Prentice.
 In this court yesterday William M. Ladd's appeal from probate occupied the attention of the judge. Eliza M. L,dd, the plaintiffs mother, died in Waterbury last December leaving all her estate, about $12. 900, to W. F. Lsdd son of the plaintiff and grandson of the teststor. In the pro- bate court the will was admitted to pro- bate despite the remonstrance of the tes- trstris's son who claimed that the will was not properly witnessed. The case then. came to the superior court on an appeal. After hearing the case Judge Prentice sus- tsined the appeal and set aside the will.

 While at work for the defendants on August 15, 1892, McCsmbridgs was near 8 derrick. In some way the machine broke and by its fall McCsmbridgs's right leg
 was crushed just below the knee pan and since that time the limb has been stiff and troublesome.

 dard and Attorney D T, Walsh of Ansonis,
