 As will be seen by the following Asso- ciated Press dispatch, the Fair Haven & Westville Railroad company has again won victory and very decisive one in the suit brought against the New England Street Railway company in the New Jersey court of errors-rea- tive to the purchase of a controlling in terest by the New England company in the stock of the Winchester Avenue Railroad company; and following this dispatch is a very important announce ment of great interest to the entire public of New Haven and which will give universal satisfaction in New IIa- ven and adjacent territory traversed by the lines of the Fair Haven & West vile company's system. The Associat- ed Press dispatch follows:
 Trenton, N. J., March 1.-The New Jersey court of errors and appeals to- day decided in favor of the New Eng land Street Railway company in a suit brought against that corporation by Israel A. Kelsey, who applied to the court to enforce an agreement whereby the New England company was to sell to Kelsey 17,954 shares of the Winches- ter Avenue Railroad company, of New o+e eh 1,ie was made with Kelsey by committee of the directors, and stockholders of the New England company refused to carry out their part of the agreement.
 It was brought out in the hearing that the committee besides entering into a written agreement to sell the shares mentioned, made verbal agree ment whereby the same terms were to be extended to themselvs for any shares of the Winchester company they might own individually. This privilege was not extended to the other direc- tors and stockholders of the New Eng land company, and it is this fact which leads the court to refuse to enforce the agreement In its opinion the court says: Tt is indisputable that the personal advantages which the mem- bers of the committee thus attempted to secure for themselves was never as scented to by the board of directors or by the stockholders and it may have induced those members to accept for the property of the company less favora- ble offer than might otherwise have been obtained.'
