SACKETT APPEAL FROM PRO
BATE.

Judge George w. wheeler OF the SUI
perior court yesterday afternoon filed a
memorandum of his decision In the
Sackett appeal from probate The APP
peal was from the probate of the will
OF Hobart B. Sackett. The appellant
based the appeal on the ground that the
probate court allowed the administra-
tion account of the appellee against the
objection of the appellant and on the
ground that the probate court allowed
the appellee to return in the statement
of assets Of the estate the proceeds of a
sale of real estate made for an amount
alleged to be too small. The property
sold was on Greenwich avenue and the
appellant alleges that the return made
for said sale Of real estate was only
81 400, when in fact the property'Was of
the value of 50, 800. 1t was further all
legged that the appellee made no reason
able attempt to obtain the best price OBJ
tainable for the property, but sold it to
one of his particular friends in fraud of
the rights of the appellant.
Judge Wheeler says in his memoran-
dunn that the proof does'not substanti-
ate the claim Of fraud on the part of the
executor, nor establish that the eXecu
tor sold the property in dispute for an
inadequate cum. The memorandum
states that the sale was made by the eX-
ecutor at public auction in accordance
with the order OF the probate court duly
and legally made, and after such notice
had been given as that court ordered.
Judge Wheeler says further; 1T is to
be regretted that all the parties who
had an interest in this property had not
been personally notified Of the sale, but
our law does not require this. 1t would
save considerable litigation and large
amount of criticism of sales Of real es-
tate by order of court of probate if
either the law or the practice required
personal notice of public sales and per-
sonal notice of orders for private sales
to all parties directly or indirectly in in
terest."
Judgment for the appelle in the case
wac ordered entered up.

History of Hooker.

A year before his resignation in 1891
he wrote a history of Thomas Hooker,
and after his retirement devoted him
self to historical studies, especially to
the investigation of the history of New
| England religion, in which he was
greatly interested. A series of lectures
on Aspects of the Religious Life of
New England dealt with this subject
and attracted much attention. They
were published in 1897, and met with a
strong demand.
| DR.. Walker was stricken with apo
| plexy at his summer home at Brattle-
| boro, VT, in August, 1896, and COM
plete deprivation of speech, together
with paralysis of the right side, fol-
| lowed. These Affections remained to
his death. His mental powers were in
no wa affected, and he continued to
enjoy meeting his friends. He was a
familiar figure as he was pushed
through the streets in his rolling chair,
and attracted in those who knew him
feeling of the greatest compassion and
sympathy. His second wife, who, was
New Haven lady, niece of the late
Ezra e. C. Read, who was president
for many years of the City bank here,
died October 80, 1898, and her death was
a great blow to him. He bore all his
trials and vieissitudes, however, with
remarkable courage and patience, show
ing the beauty and strength of sin
cere Christian faith.
He was remarkably strong in the pull
pit, and though he had few of the
graces of an orator he spoke, with
sincerity and an earnestness that held
the attention of his hearers and was
convincing from it's own faith and con-
viction. The form of his speech was
fresh, and his manner of expressing
himself different from that of any
other man, while the development of
his subject was clear and concise.
In 1888, on October II and ~, the
Center church, Hartford, celebrated
it's 250th anniversary with impressive
and appropriate exercises. During DR..
Walkers pastorate the additions to
the church have been large. What he
has set before his people and all who
claim Hartford and New Haven as
home, is high ideal of Christian man
hood which cannot die with him.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
CASE or Il. b. SMEDLEY AGAINST
FAIR H1YEN ROAD.
NegIIgence-Decrec ofJudge Mcmahon
Removes COnservntor Over George Nj.
Treat-DaVis, the Young Burglar,
Goes to JAN Under 1900 Bonds.

f. B. Smedley, the truck man, who
was injured in the fall of 1899 by being
run down by a car of the Fair Haven
and Westville Railroad company, in the
city court yesterday testified in the suit
he has instituted against the railroad
company for $4,000 damages. Mr.
Smedley received severe injuries while
he was riding his bicycle and complain
ed that he had no warning of the ap-
ed at the corner of Whalley avenue and
Audubon street. The company default
ed the case and 1t is now being tried
before Judge George w. Wheeler on a
hearing in damages.
The case is presented for Mr. Smedley
by Lawyers P. w. Chase and John
Elliott, while Lawyers Watrous and
Day are counsel for the defendant
company. The lawyers discussed the
measure of damages during the morn
ing session on claim made in behalf
of the plaintiff to show by a witness
who had managed his business during
his confinement at the hospital that his
injuries prevented him from receiving
the usual returns in profits from his
business, and that he claimed these
losses together with his expenses at the
hospital to be DUE for the alleged negli-
gence of the defendant company.
Judge Wheeler ruled that the meas
ure for damages should have been prov
ed in another way, and that the plain
tiff could not prove that claim through
the manager who succeeded in charge
OF the business after the accident. The
defendant company claims that Mr..
Smedley was guilty of contributory neg
ligence.
