 Judge George W. Wheeler presided at
 the session of the superior court yester-
 day morning. The short calendar dock

 In the case of the New Haven Trust company, receivers of the Connecticut Life Insurance company against c. Art
 Ward, a motion was made that the de- fendant be required to deliver posses sion of the mortgaged premises to the receivers. Counsel for the defendant urged that the motion was not proper one and that the plaintiff to gain pos session must follow procedure. The court agreed with the defendants counsel, and the motion was denied In this case judgment has been obtained against Ward and his wife. The mort gagged premises are still in the posses sion of Ward. Until the amount in- volved is settled the defendants will not vacate.

Attorney Goodhart will probably finish 1 the litigation.
