 In the court of common pleas yester- day afternoon among the cases on the short calendar was that of the Kirk Manufacturing company against John Heineman, jr., q motion for the gar- nishee in the case, a Mrs. Reynolds, to disclose whether she held property of the defendant. It seems that property belonging to the defendant was trans ferred to Mrs Reynolds. his aunt, some time ago, and the plaintiff alleged that the transfer was a. fraudulent one, The sarnishee, Mrs Reynolds, was in court yesterday and after she had been ques- toned by O. H. D. Fowler, attorney for the plaintiff, MT Fowler called to the witness stand the defendant John Heineman, jr., who was in court.
 Attorney M. F Downs. of Walling ford, counsel for the defendant object ed to his going on the stand on the ground that he had not been subpoe- naed. After some, discussion Judge Ca ble ordered that the witness fee should be rendered to MT Heineman. The fee fifty cents-was accordingly paid in court and the defendant took the stand The incident caused some amusement among the lawyers in court. Judge Ca ble took the papers in the case and re- served decision.
 In the case of the Lyon & Billiard against R. L. Smaller ct als., a motion for foreclosure by sale was ar- gued and decision reserved.
