George L. Macuen and others of Mil
ford have appealed to the supreme
court for a writ of mandamus 20 COM
pei Charles A. Dewey of Milford, Judge
of the third district court of southern
Worcester, to issue certain orders in
a case which was recently brought be-
fore him, under the operation of the
new Dubuque law. The parties who
have appealed to the supreme court
claim that Justice Dewey had refused
to issue an order summoning q party
to appear in the district court in which
judgment had been found for the noees-
saries of life, and from this alleged
refusal of Judge Dewey to execute the
law, Mr. Macuen and those associated
with him, ask for a writ compelling
Judge Dewey to issue the order.
