Other Court Notes.
When the superior court opened yes
terday morning Judge Stoddard, who
appears for Mr.. Harlan in the case Of
Thomas Harlan against the New Ha-
ven Steamboat company, asked Judge
Roraback to issue an order to compel
the steamboat company to produce in
court Alexander G. Chaplin. Chaplin is
the man who alleges that Richard B.
Gibbons obtained possession of the 100
shares Of stock of the New Haven
Steamboat company by getting him in
toxicated and in such condition that
he was not responsible. Judge Rora-
back said that he would not issue the
order as it had not been shown that
the steamboat company has any con-
troll over Chaplin.
Thomas Harlan took the stand yes
terday morning and told of his trans
actions with the late Richard B. Glib
bons. He said that he was in the habit
Of loaning money to Gibbons and that
he loaned him $500 shortly before
Gibbons transferred to him the New
Haven Steamboat company stock. He
said that Gibbons could not repay the
loan In cash and that he gave him the
1870 shares of stock in payment with the
understanding that if Gibbons wanted
to do so within two or three weeks he
could buy it back at the figure Harlan
took 1t for and interest. Mr.. Harlan
then told Of his fruitless efforts to get
the company to transfer the stock to
him on their books.
During the examination Of Mr., Har-
Ian Judge Stoddard, who appeared
alone for Mr. Harlan against five OPP
posing attorneys for the steamboat
company, was very frequently inter-
rupted by one or more of the five law
yers on the other side. He finally be-
came exasperated and said that he
would not object to the Interruptions if
the other side had anything to say, but
that the constant Interruptions without
any apparent object became very te-
dious.
The counsel for the steamboat COM
pany In this case are Ex-Governor In
gersoll, Attorneys Kelly and Gardner of
New York, Attorneys Rogers and Webb
of this city.
Court of Common Plsas-Judge Hubbard.
In the case against James e. Green
of Stony Creek yesterday morning in
the court of common pleas, Attorney
7. J. Fox, his counsel, presented to
Judge Hubbard a certificate from a
Branford physician to the effect that
M. Green was under his treatment and
that he would not be able to appear in
court for several days.
Green was charged with selling IL
quor in Branford without license The
offence was said to have taken place on
October TO-
Prosecuting Attorney Gum opposed
granting continuance of the case and
he said that the state was at consid-
cradle expense in keeping the jury in
attendance. He said that he vInder-
stood that Green was in Mr.. Fox's Of
flee Wednesday afternoon and that
upon Mr.. Fox's advice he went to q
physician and secured the certificate.
He moved that the bond be called.
Judge Hubbard was evidently about
to order the bond called but Mr. Fox
asked permission to file a demurrer to
the complaint. This he did and it was
argued at considerable length
Judge Hubbard ordered the bond
called. ]. T. sliney of Branford is
surety to the amount of 5000. Court ad-
journed until Monday.
