In the city court yesterday before Judge Elmer was heard the case brought by the city of New Haven against George W. Hotchkiss. The de- fendant's father some years ago sold a plot of land in Westville to the city as an addition to the West Rock park. In the deed was an agreement that Hotch- kiss should be permitted to work a paint mine" on the land for a period of five years. The elder Hotchkiss did not work it within five years and the city claimed the agreement had lapsed. The defendant in this case last April began to work the mine and the city enjoined him sor doing it.
