Court Notes.

SOurt NOtoss
 In the probate court late yesterday afternoon the report of Attorney James K. Blake, administrator on the estate of the late Eliza T. White of Portland, was presented and accepted by Judge Robertson. It was expected that there would be a contest over the acceptance of the report, but none materialized. The Waterbury superior court, civil side, came in this city yesterday, but l there being no business the court ad- journed sine die.
 The report of the appraisers in the damage case of the Consumers Ice company against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad compa- ny was filed. The appraisers, William A. Wright, Marcus E. Baldwin and Hi- | ram Jacobs, in their report find, after an exhaustive hearing, that damages amounting to $13606.2O were sustained, and recommended that the railroad company pay that amount to the ice company. The ice company is not sat isfied and may appeal the case. The company asked for $5OOOO. The diff culty was occasioned by the new lay out of the Shore Line road. This lay out provided for running of the tracks across Hemingway's pond in Fair Ha- ven East. This belongs to the Consum- CTS Ice company, who used it for an ice pond. The railroad company applied for condemnation proceedings, and ap- praisers were appointed to fix the ben efits and damages between those to be assessed. The injunction case of D. M. Welch & Son against the city was to have come up for a hearing yesterday, but owing to the press of other business was post poned until this morning.
 In the superior court, civil side, Judge G. w. Wheeler Is listening to the re- plevin suit brought by L. B. Hinman; as trustee of the estate of G. w. Rob- inson, the liveryman, against Betts & filling. The suit was begun last week and it is contest over the possession of horses and carriages which were sold by MT. Robinson to Betts & filling prior to the assignment. ly
 INSURANCE COMPANY SUED.
 Papers were served on Insurance Commissioner Mansfield yesterday in two suits against the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of New York. The first was brought in the name of Mrs. Ellen O'Niel, who sues to re- cover on the death of her daughter: the other was brought in the name of William B. Stage, who sues to re- cover on the death of his wife. The papers in both suits were drawn by Attorney J. P. Goodhart.
 POLICY CASES DISPOSED.
 Judge Cable sat on the bench in the city court, yesterday morning and all the policy and gaming cases which have been on the docket of the city court for 50 long were disposed of.
 The case of Edward F. Quigley was continued, however, until December 27, as Judge Callahan heard the first of the case and will probably not. be able to hear the remainder for month.
 The eases against the eleven other men found in the raid at No. 322 State street were disposed of. In many cases there were two charges against the accused, one of gaming and one of playing policy. In this circumstance only one of the cases was tried and if conviction was obtained the other case was nolled, as the accused could not be convicted for but one of the offenses. A. Il. Reid was discharged on charge of policy playing and the gaming case was nolled. The cases against George Abbott, Frank Waters, David Hertz, Henry Dorset and John Gallagher were nolled for lack of evi- dence of any offense committed, but they were arrested with others taken in the raid. 55
 Robert Kiernan was convicted for policy playing and fined $50 and the case of gaming against him was. .noiled. sThDmas Vincent was fined ,S75
