It refers to the strip of land now occupied by the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Go:
 To Coll. Ebenezer Johnson att Derby:
 Sir: After my Love presented to you hoping that these Lines may find ness to me 1 am at preSent--theSe Lines may Inform you that this morn ing the Indians Belonging to our town came to me by way of complaint that they look upon themselves wrOnged by Capt Stephen Noble taking up a division of land near the point between the Great River and the Still River; and where some of them had Improve ment: By which means they say what shall we eat If we have not our ground to plant corn upon: and Be- sides they say it was not sold to the English but was Reserved for their own use as an IntreSt in common to all that did Inhabit there; and to my certain knowledge they have dwelt upon said point and Improved for the uoNC llFCO III OO"u3 uuCIC- fOre-my Request to you sir is that you would assist the Indians in en- deavoring to Recover their Right: be- cause that have been Informed that you have formerly had aquaintance with the management of things in the first beginnings here --and finding in the deed given to milford gentlemen no more of Reserve but only these words: It is to be noted that the above named Indians do Re- serve for their use their present plant ing field: and privilidge of fishing at the falls-and this set down after the dating of it. now sir my desire IS that Right may be done in this case for I am we'll satisfied that if this neck of Land be not Restored to them there will Remain disgust which may prove prejudiciall to some if not to all in generall-and now the general court being near it would he good thing to have the matter Laid Before the Court that they may give their judg- ment in the case: no more at present.

whether any settlement had ever been made of the partnership.
 Mir. Bryan was then called. He testi- fled that the account of the Philo s. Bennett estate was correct.
 When questioned Mir. Bryan testified that the amount of the bills and ac- counts receivable after the business was taken over by the new corporation was s227, ,S55.27, which he stated lie re- ceived from Mir. Sloan. He said that he had made no settlement with Sloan. Asked how much money he had on hand, Mfr. Bryan said that NIT. Sloan had told him there was balance of $S.50O cash in the bank.
 It appeared that on July 1. 1904. MT. Sloan turned over to Mir. Bryan, as ex- ecutor, sl72.S44, but Mir. Bryan could not say for how long time this sum had been accommodating. His statement that he had allowed the new corpora tion ninety days time in which to sell the merchandise of the estate was sub jected to some criticism by Mir. Stod- dard, who asked if it would not have been possible to have paid the legacies earlier. Mir. Bryan replied: Fl paid the legacies as fast as my attorneys thought it safe to pay them" When asked by Judge Stoddard as to why money obtained from a sale of property in Bridgeport had not been paid to Mrs. Bennett.
 Mir. Bryan said that there was some question whether Mrs. Bennett is en- titled to the property.
 MT. Wickwyre asked who held the l title in the property.
 MT. Bryan said that Bennett & Sloan held the title.
 Mir. Bryan stated that the executor had done what he believed to be right. Shortly after 3 o'clock the examine tion was concluded. Judge Cleaveland has now taken the matter under ad- visement and will later render de- i cisioni

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS.
PINE ORCHARD MATTER RE-
 JECTED BY HOUSE.

The State Armory and Arsenal Question
 -LegisIature and Memorial Day
 The Corrupt Practices Acts.
 Hartford, May 24.-The considera- ton of the Pine Orchard bill by the house furnished the only feature of the session of the general assembly to-day. It came from the calendar, having been passed by the senate last week. Several members of the house partic- ipated in the debate and for time the proceedings assumed an aspect of live ly interest. The committees report (favorable) was rejected. It was ex- pected that an interesting debate would occur in the senate on the bill which repsals the general railroad law, but when it was reached on the calendar it was tabled by request The senate passed the bill authorizing the issuance of $5O,0O0 city hall bonds by the city of Waterbury. ..- The report of the committee on mill itary affairs against the site selected by the commission on the state armory and arsenal, which was appointed by Governor Chamberlain, will be amply discussed in both houses in the final determination of the interests at stake. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, Ser. ator McGovern of this city and Repre- sentative Griswold of Guilford, house chairman of the military affairs com mittee, are members of the commission which has recommended the Main street site for the sate armory and ar senal. It is not expected that mi nority report will be submitted by Mir. Griswold. The minority will, however, put in a report relative to the round- house project. That course is expected by the members of the committee, wno favor the roundhouse site. It is likely that the conflicting interests will De so sharply drawn that the entire pro- ject for a state armory and arssnal this year will be jeopardized, repeat ing the course that was the outcome of differences in the leislature two years ago, when the site opposite from the union depot was discussed for months All things considered, 1t may be of ad vantage that ths project should be de- layed two years more. The absorption of the roundhouse property by the state, carrying out the recommendation that was made by Governor Roberts III his message to the general assembly, will be step well along towards the solution of the state armory and IT, senal problem. This solution may well be left to the general assembly of two years from now, which would take up the questions involved without preju- dice iii any way. G ~ Tire legislature will Rrecognize Memo- rial day, Tuesday, May 30, by adjourn ment. On that account the return to the state capitol next week will nos be until Wednesday. It will be remem- bered that both houses adjourned over Washington's birthday. That has not been an unfailing custom with the leg islature, as sessions. have been held on that day in the past.
