SESSION YESTERDAY.

Good Deal of business Transacted
-Yanz Case Continucd-~Yale Fresh
man In Court-city Court News.
Deputy Sheriff Dejon opened the SEES
sion of the supreme court Of errors in
| the supreme court room in the county
court house yesterday morning shortly
after 10 o'clock. Rev. Mr.. Marriet, of
! the Church of the Ascension, offered
prayer, and consideration of the cases
was then commenced.
In calling the cases all of the four
Bridgeport cases We're disposed Of.
| That of William Fl. Judd VS., the city of
| Stamford goes over to next term; that
of Charles M. Arthur VS.. the Mortified
Parish Congregat ional church was sub
mitted on briefs; that of f. Howard
Hall VS.. Angelius Steward, libel suit,
was dropped because of the death Of
the defendant, and that Of the state of
Connecticut vs. Robert e. Hurley went
to the foot of the list and may not be
tried until next term.
The New Haven county cases, four
teen in number, also DROPPED out to
some extent.
The case of Stein VS.. Coleman may be
argued to-day.
The case of the Soper Lumber COM
pany VS.. the Halsted & Harmount COM
pany was argued yesterday.
The application for a new trial of
George YAM, who was convicted of the
murder of George Goering on June Il
last, was continued by agreement of
counsel to the April term Of the court.
The motion was made by Attorney
Goodhart who stated that Attorney

engaged in the United States supreme
court in washington, where he would

granted
One Of the most interesting cases that
will come before the court this term is
that of Harrison Hewitt VS.. Peter j.
McNerney. Although the amount in
volved is not large, the principle is re-
garded as important by attorneys. The
case is of particular importance to shop
hands and in fact, all working people
who are paid weekly.
In brief, the suit combines the fol-
lowing facts: Miss Mary Gouin sued the
Misses Shea, the Grand avenue MILL
ners, for $23 alleged to be due for wages.
The defendants in that action paid the
over to Constable Peter McNer- !
ney who represented Attosneys Coyle !
and Housed, who brought the action for
Miss Gouin.
AS soon as the money was paid over |
to McNerney, Constable Bree, who was |
at the millinery store at the time, gar
nisheed it for bill alleged to be due
Mrs Devereaux, the dentist. Constable |
refused to give the money up I
and suit was instituted by Harrison
Hewitt, to whom the title of the case
was later transferred

to this court for argument and will be
heard at the end of the New Haven and
Fairfield county cases.

the Sheffield Scientific school, and who
rooms at Ill Grove street, was yester
day morning in the city court charged
with injury to private property. 1t
seems that Wick, who lives in Cleve-
land, some time Monday evening tried
to make a wreck of the sign in front of
George Ell. Collects bicycle store on
Court street. Wick evidently thought
that he would like the sign for his room
and as a result he attempted to take it
in out of the snow storm. He landed
in the police station in custody Of Po-
licemen Stevens and B. Daily. He was
subsequently released on bonds of $50
furnished by James e. OConnor His
case will be tried to-day.
