Court Notes.

Souit
 City Attorney Matthewman yesterday asked for continued of a week in the case of Jesse G. Mcintyre, who was ar rested Tuesday charged with man. slaughter. The complaint sets forth that Mcintyre was criminally and fel- oniiously negligent in constructing the underpinning for the house, which col lapsed on Greenwich avenue. There is only one count in this complaint, charging Mcintyre with being guilty of manslaughter resulting in the death of William G. Thomas, one of his work men, MT Matthewman asked for a bond of $2, 300 in McTntyre's case
 Attorney George A. Taylor appeared for Mcintyre. He said that he had no objections to having the case go over for a week, providing the bond was fixed at a reasonable sum, which Me Intyre could secure. He said that his client had no intention of leaving the state, as he was confident that he could prove his innocence. MT Taylor asked that the bond be made $500.
 City Attorney Matthewman called at tention to the fact that the accident had resulted in three deaths and that if the bond were reduced to $500 he should feel justified in issuing com plaints against Mcintyre, charging him with manslaughter in the other two cases. A compromise was finally eff fected the bond being fixed at $l,000.

 Smith was in town last week and the selectmen ordered his arrest. He has been working in Bridgeport and has made no effort to find his wife and children to contribute to their support.
