THOSE SHERMAN LAWSUITS.

Three more of the Sherman lawsuits have been disposed of as far as the low CT court goes. The suit brought by the prosecuting agent of the town of Derby against Horace Sherman for selling li- quor without license while in charge of the Hoffman house of that place, was discharged by the court, because of se- rious legal flaws in the prosecution, while the suit cf Charles Hoffman against Frederick Sherman for trespass and damages through the use of water on the land of the former (which the atter's hotel has long epjoyed), was withdrawn, Saturday, after repeated ad- journments, by the plaintiff, who paid all costs. The hearing for the appoint of Helen R. sherman took place here before Judge Ford, Saturday. Some seven lawyers were present, represent ing even more creditors. Samuel Clark of New Preston was appointed trustee. Appeals were then taken on both the suits brought to force Mrs Sherman into insolvency. First, Mrs sherman ap. pealed from the decision of Judge Ford
 in the Hoffman case which declared hel insolvent, and then J. & J. Eager, orig
 inal applicants in this matter, agains
 whom Judge Ford decided, also ap
 pealed. Fun for the lawyers.
