In the superior court last Wednes-

bate was heard. An appeal was taken
from the settlement of the estate of
the late Mrs. Julia Sibley of Stafford
Springs, in which the judge of pro-
bate allowed claim of $500 for SER
vices in caring for the deceased, and
for $500 more said to have been
borrowed by the husband of Mrs.
Sibley back in the '7O's when they
| resided in Union. The claim of $500
for services was made by julius Sib-
ley, son of the deceased, who was left
81 in the will, the remainder of the
estate going to Clara Sibley Breen,
grandchild. The trustees allowed
Mr.. Sibley $25 week, or $500, for
caring for Mrs. Sibley in her last
days. The account of the trustees was
approved by the judge of probate,
after which Mrs. Breen took an
appeal. The divorced wife of Julius
Sibley swore that she saw the $500
in dispute paid by Mr.. Sibley to his
wife in 1874, shortly after the COM
rletion of the county building. She
was positive of this fact, and her for
mer husband took the stand and was
equally as positive that it was still
unpaid. Judge Case reserved his
decision. L. T. Tingier, clerk of the
superior court, has received word from

case, of the withdrawing of the action
for divorce brought by Frederic

his wife, Emma S. Faulkner, of
