Yesterday Judge Prentice heard argu-
ments In the case of Merton Fulton's ap-
peal from probate. Fulton, who lives In
Hartford and is jockey, claims to have
driven Lady Ellsworth when owned by
Gus Willis, who died about year ago In
Rockville. Fulton's claim was that he
inquired the name of the administrator of
the Willis estate, and was told that it was
"Mr. Way" of Rockville. He sent in his
bill so addressed, and was rather sur
prised to learn that the administrator
failed to receive his claim. He went to
Rockville and appeared Ia the probate
court, asking Judge Phelps to reopen the
case. The Judge Of probate refused to do
SO, and Fulton then appealed to the supe-
rior court. After hearing the evidence of
Mr.. Fulton, Judge Prentice overruled
Judge Phelps decision and ordered the
matter reopened. ]. 81. Reed of Stafford
Springs Is the administrator. Il. J.
Stoner of Hartford appeare ed for the plain
tiff. The superior court will meet at
