High School Notes. high

with a defeat, the final score being

No cases have been brought in
town against an executor or admins
traitor who have failed to file an in
ventory with the probate court within
two months after appointment, as re-
quired by law. 1t is thought the

attorneys at Bridgeport, who are be-

stranger was here looking over the
records several years ago, and it seems
quite probable that his object was to
learn who had not followed the legal
requirements. The law provides that
if an executor, administrator or trustee
fails to return an inventory within
two months of his appointments she
shall forfeit to him who shall sue
therefor $50 for each month of de-
lay" D. Preston Atwood of Bridge
port is the plaintiff in the suits that
have been brought all over the state.
He secured Judgment of $40 month
for IL months and costs in q test case,
and was sustained by the supreme
court. Numerous cases have already
been brought in Willimantic, Rock

that means will be found to prevent

the only remedy seems to be to amend
