Superior court-Judge Prentice.

Judge Prentice has submitted find
ing of fact in the case Of Edward F..
Lawler, administrator, against the city
of New Haven, upon which the city will
have to ascertain something to base
an appeal upon. In the opinion of the
court the principal defense, contribu-
tory negligence, did not exist The
finding is short, and the above facts are
about all it contains. Judge Prentice al
lowed damages of $1,250 to the boy.
In the Francis Reynolds will case
Judge Prentice yesterday denied the
peremptorys writ Of mandamus to com
pei Judge Cleaveland to allow the APP
peal from probate. In his memoranda
of decision Judge Prentice says:
'The evidence fails to disclose a clear
right In this plaintiff. 1t fails to estab-
lish that Francis Reynolds is an heir at
law and next of kin of Ellen Reynolds.
Conditions which might well exist are
not met by evidence. The deposition Of
Mrs. Cannon Is strongly suggestive of
one such condition consistent with the
plaintiffs evidence If the claimed rela-
tionship between the plaintiff and Ellen
Reynolds existed, or if Ellen Reynolds
was the daughter of Frank Reynolds,
born in lawful wedlock, there is, no
doubt, an easy means of establishing the
facts. AS neither Francis Reynolds
himself has spoken, nor the parish rec
orGs have been presented, | am not able
to find upon the meagre hearsay knoWl-
edge of Mrs. Quinn and Mrs. Farrell,
mostly obtained in this country. that the
plaintiff has made out a clear right to
the writ he prays for A peremptory
writ will not issue"
Peter b. Clyne, the letter carrier, is
the main beneficiary under Miss Rey-
nolds' will. Her estate consists entirely
of money in the bank, and amounts to
about $4,000
