DECISION BY JUDGE THAYER.
Judge Thayer in the superior court
has rendered an interesting decision
upon demurrer, which involves points
under the new bankrupt law. Louis
Sagal bankrupt just before his
bankruptcy sold his business to the
Standard Soap and Tea company, and
at the same time conveyed to them the
good will of his business. A suit was
brought against SagalA by Arthur H.
Tyrrell, trustee, on the ground that
Sagal had conveyed to the company the
good will of his business without any
consideration sand further alleging that
the good will was worth $4,000, and
claiming damages This complaint was
demurred to by Arvine & Beers, on the
ground that the superior court of Wa
terbury, to which the case was brought,
had no jurisdiction, as neither Sagal
nor the Standard Soap and Tea COM
pany resided in this county, and further
that in any case the trustee would have
no right to recover anything but the
property conveyed and not the value of
it. The demurrer so far as the juris-
dictional question was concerned was
not sustained, but was sustained upon
the point that no recovery could be had
for the recovery of the good will.
