 An enjoyable oyster supper was served
 by the men connected with the Humphrey street Congregational church last week. They were cooked and served by the men
 without the assistance of the ladies, who
 bsnignantly watched the lords of creation
 while they were at their arduous and un.
 wonted task, and voted the feast Q surpris.
 ing success. The kitchen was in charge of
 Head Cook George Edmondson, the boss
 plumber, who proved sn adept, and the
 boss waiter was Captain Brewer, of the Dixwell avenue precinct. He was assisted
 by corps of men walters. The Sunday
 school room was filled with the members and their friends, and the ladies spoke in highest praise of ths excellent way in which the oysters were cooked and served. The goodly sum of between $50 and $80 was reslized, which will be added to the building fund of the church. The in- creased membership of the church and Sunday school calls for the building of m addition to the edi6ce and at an early day. One of the various pleasant features of the entertainment above spoken of was an im- promptu story written for the occasion by James F.

Judge Hotchkiss Assigns . Hearing
 on the Matter for Friday.
 Judge Hotchkiss in the court of common pleas yesterday morning set Friday next, at 10 o'clock, as the time for hearing the parties interested in the petition presented to him last Friday, asking for an investi- gation of the system of nolling cases brought to that court.
 There were . dozen or more lawyers at the court yesterday morning, many of whom were interested in the outcome of the petition. Judge Munger of Ansonia was the only signer of the petition pres ent, and there was some other spirited conversation between MT. Gum. the pros- ecuting officer of the court, Judge Hotoh- kiss and Judge Munger. MT. Gum argued that he was treated with rather scant cour. tesy, in that a copy of the petition, aimed at his department, should not have been filed with him, and that he should have been left to find out about it through the nswspapers. Judge Hotchkiss agreed with him in this opinion. Judge Munger said that there was nothing personal 1T the attack and that it was only against ( system of no1ling cases on payment oi coats in vogue among many of our state officers. He could not say ss they would attack other courts. Judge Hotchkiss wal of the opinion that it would have beer better to have taken the matter before thu superior court first.
 According to last years records of thu criminal court of common pleas more thar 15O cases were nolled. Very few liquol cases were allowed to go to court. In thre' cases bonds were forfeited, two pleaded guilty, one the accused was tried on twt eases and got fines of $50 and $S7 79. Tn policy cases were generally disposed of II this way. It is this practice that the Lay and Order League objects to.
