Many Motions Heard--O Orders En-
tered in Appellate Division.

Bessie Mills to have an attachment placed
upon her furniture released on the ground
that the same was used by her as house
hold furniture.
The attachment was placed on the goods
in question by George w. Howes and
wife, with whom Mrs. Mills bearded for
over a year at the commencement OF a
suit on which judgment was obtained
against Mrs. Mills a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Mills testified that she had owned,
the property attached about three years
and formerly Kept boarders on Friendship
street, but that owing to bad health
about a year ago she broke up her home
and went to hoard with the Howes. In
sci for the latter, Mrs. Mills admitted that
she was.sick while at Mrs. Howes' and
that the latter took care of her.
After another witness had been put
upon the stand, III. &. Curtis, Mrs. Mills
attorney, claimed that as the goods at
tached were used by Mrs. Mills as a house
keeper they were exempt from attach
ment.
Judge Douglass remarked that Mrs.
Mills had testified that she had ADAM
ooned housekeeping a year age.
MIR. Curtis claimed that the case before
the court was similar to the case of a
party going out of Town for the summer
and leaving their furniture i'm their home
while they boarded at a seaside resort.
He also urged that the testimony bowed
MIS- NlllIs nau temporarily suspended
housekeeping during her illness.
Judge Douglass informed Mr.. Dean,
counse for Mrs. Howes, that he did not
think IL necessary for him to argue the
case. His honor did not view the matter
as Mr.. Curtis did, and denied the %latter's
motion.
