WILL ASK FOR A MANDAMUS.
APPJ ICATION TO BE MADE TO SU-
 PERIOR COURT TOMORROW.

Ex-Judge Munger to Ask For Writ to
 Compel Judge Studley to Furnish a Find
 ing of Facts-History of the Proeeedings-
 Other Interesting Court News.
 Ex-Judge Munger of Ansonia came to this city yesterday for the purpose of making application before Judge Ralph Wheeler in the superior court for a writ of mandamus against Judge John P. Studley of the common pleas court As Judge Wheeler was not in the city the writ could not be obtained, but ex- Judge Munger will come here again Friday, when Judge Wheeler is holding the short calendar session, and will then make the application for the man. damus.
 The case in which ex-Judge Munger will ask for a mandamus is that of AL bert B. Manley against the town of | Ansonia. Manley sued to recover $1,00O | damages from the town for injuries re- ceiyed in falling on an icy sidewalk. The case was tried in the common pleas court in this city over year ago, when | the jury awarded Manley the sum of | $500 and costs. | After the verdict had been rendered ex-Judge Munger, who was counsel for | the town of Ansonia, filed notice of an appeal to the supreme court, and sub sequently asked the court to allow him to take all the papers in the case so he could complete his appeal. His re- | +oA " ora MI1n- ger retained the papers in his posses | sion for over year.
 | A week ago last Friday the case again | came up on an application by Attorney | Williams of Derby for a finding of facts l in order that an appeal might be taken | to the supreme court. At this time | Judge Studley claimed that in conse- l quence of their delay the counsel had lost their right to appeal. Ex-Judge l Munger then announced that he would | bring mandamus proceedings to cumpel l the judge to furnish them with a find | ing of facts in the case. Under these circumstances Judge Studley continued l the case for two weeks in order to give l them an opportunity to make applica- l ton for the mandamus, and 1t is ex- | pected that the application will be made at the short calendar session of the l superior court tomorrow.
 LEEK VS. BABCOCK co. l In the common pleas court yesterday | the suit of Arthur M, Leek against the l F. w. Babcock company was commence ed before Judge Hotchkiss and jury. | The plaintiff was salesman for the | defendant company, who are wholesale dealers in kerosene oil, etc, and has brought suit to recover $75 which he | claims is due him for commissions on
 sales. The case is still on trial.
