Phillips Seeks to Recover
From Mrs. Brown.
Balance Due on Houses Built
for Late Clerk Pitman.
Alleges Fraud in the Transfer of
Property 10 Defendant.

Can Charles A. Phillips who built two
houses for Henry Pitman, formerly clerk
of the United States in this city, get his
money out of the estate, now in the hands
of Mrs. Sarah Brown that Mr.. Pitman
transferred to her in 1893 was the question
submitted to the Appellate Court today.
The hearing was on "A bill in equity
brought by Mr.. philIAs against Mrs.
Brown. The latter was for many years
clerk in Mr. Pitmans Office and it is
alleged in the complainant bill that she
knew when Mr.. Pitman conveyed her
two lots of land in Pawtucket with the
partially finished houses upon them, that
Mr. Phillips had built. She knew Mr..
Pitman was insolvent as she had very
confidential business relations with the
latter The deeds TO his property were
given on Oct. lS 1893 Co Mrs. Brown
and it is alleged she acted fraudulentiy
i'm falling To record them until April 1894,
"A few days after Mr.. Pitmans death.
Mir. Phillips claims that the first he knew
of any conveyance To Mrs. Brown was
the reading of the transfer in newspaper
and that late i'm 1893 Mr. Pitman gave
him note saying he could pay him but
he would prefer 10 give six months
note Supposing Mr.. Pitman TO be per-
fectly solvent Mr. Phillips took tho
note on which Si00 still remains due, Mr..
Pltm an dying before he was able To pay
il all.
Arnold Green. who represented Mrs.
Brown, argued that the conveyance 10
her was pCrtcctly proper one as she was
bcthrOthed to Mr.. Pitman, and when IL
was made no one had any idea that Mr..
pitman was insolvcnt He owned ac-
cording To Mr.. Green, other real estate,
and while his liabilities were $3.50, his
assets were $3.50, and in view of these
facts and the good consideration for the
deed being the approaching marriage of
the parties Mr.. Phillips was not injured
i'm way for which the court could supply
n remedy. Mr. Green dwelt on the suu-
den death of Mr. Pitman aud argued that
the estates of many men would bo
seriously affected by the break that would
come IN the management OF their prop
ertv under the same circumstances.
Cooke & Angel were attorneys for tho
complainant and the court took tho
matter under advisemcnt after suggesting
to the counsel for MIR Phillips that they
might file statement of the amount of
property possessed by Mr. Pitman IL thcy
desired. This permission was given Ue-
cause Mr.. Angel seemed To think thai
Mr.. Green's claim that gift To Mrs.
Brown Of property of the net value of
5000 was "A larger one that might be held
suitable even considering the parties were
bctruthcd and also the doubt he expressed
as TO the condition of Mr.. Pitman's estate
az the time of his death being as good "A
it was represented.

DiSapprOveS Abuse Of
Process of Court.
McCusker Grossly Exagger-
ated Damage Sustained.
For That and Other Reasons no
Costs Were Allowed BY Court.

The Appellate Court today announced
it's decision on the defendants petition
for a new trial in the case of Patrick
McCusker VS.. John Mitchell. A new
trial is denied but the plaintiff is not to
recover any costs in either branch of the
court. The reason for the refusal of costs
is stated by the court in the following
language:
Our attention Is called to the fact that
the damages laid in plaintiffs writ are
5000, and that, it being writ of arrest,
the defendant was held To hail in this
amount. In view of the fact that the
plaintiffs : testimony, taken at its best,
SHOWS that he only claimed to have been
damaged to the extent of $1,000, and IL is
evident from his own items that this
was gross exaggeration, the damages
laid in the writ were exorbitant ard op-
pressivc, and we wish to express our
entire disapproval of such an abuse of the
process of the court: and for this purpose,
while we deny the petition for "a new
trial, we will do SO without costs and
also direct the common pleas division TO
enter Judgment on the verdict without
costs.
The exceptions to the charge made by
the presiding justice at the trial in the
common pleas division are all overruled.
The court is of the opinion that the
evidence Is sufficient 10 sustain the YER
diet and as there was conflict of testi-
mony as To whether the defendant had n
license, as set up in his plea, IL was for
the jury To determine that question, as
well as the question of damages
