Judge Green held court in Allan
tic the first of the week and heard
the arguments in the case of Ellen
Hewlett, Alta n. Pratt, ct al. VS..
James M. Brown. The petition of
plaintiffs recites that James M.
Brown is of unsound mind and weak
in body and is incapabable of trans
acting business. Consequently it is
desired that w. d. Pratt or some
! other competent person be appointed
as temporary guardian and that at
the regular term of court the guar
dianship be made permanent. In the
case of Alta Nj. Pratt VS.. James M.
Brown, Grant Brown and wife, the
plaintiff wishes to have the deed and
| bill Of sale by which James M.
Brown transferred his property to
Grant Brown to be set aside and a
restraining order be issued forbidding
Grant Brown from disposing of the
property so conveyed. 1t seems that
James Brown recently decided most
OF his real estate to his son and gave
him bill Of sale for most of his per-
sonal property, the consideration be-
ing one dollar, love and affection and
an agreement to support. The other
children wish to have these convey
ances set aside because they claim
that their father was unlawfully in
fiuenced and persuaded to make the
transfers. The Judge now has the
case under advisement.
