a Decision Favorable
TO the County.

In the case of Wright & Co., bank
rupts, which has been pending in the
United States district court for some
time, Judge Lowell handed down a de-
cision yesterday in favor of Worcester
county. The bankrupt company had a,
contract for the labor of convicts in
the house of correction. The county
sought TO prove, as a preferred claim
against the estate of the bankrupts,
claims of money due for labor under
contract.
Judge Lowell rules that the claim
OF county is a preferred claim in
bankruptcy; also, that a contract made
With county official for the benefit of
the county can be proved and enforced
in the name of the county.
The contract for lowering the grade
Of Counrt Hill was signed by Thomas
]. Smith, the lucky bidder, and the
county commissioners yesterday and
work will begin this morning. Rock
wood Hoar, as counsel for the COM

before the county commissioners with q
complaint that since the office was
moved into its new quarters he finds

provision has been made for his COM

he has proper right to use the records
and public desks.
| Therefore he seeks redress from The
commissioners. He presented formid
! able petition signed by the officials o.
every Worcester bank save one, anC
by score of lawyers and $50 others
| The commissioners believe they have
no authority to act, and will confer
with Register Wilder, who has supreme
authority in his offices.

pointed Il at his companion The weapon
was discharged and Hall fell to the floor
Everything possible was done for the
