The papers ln the matter were drawn up by Attorney eBrett and were served upon City Clerk Nettleton yes terday afternoon.

 3-Said matters alleged in said pre- ferred charges were of q purely per sonal character and had no bearing upon or connection with or relation to the police of said city of Water bury or to the rules of ordinances re- lating to said police department.
 EOne of the commissioners of public safety of the board of eommIs- sioners of public safety. who took part in and participated in the hearing upon and in the final decision of said board upon said alleged charges and who participated in the vote of dis missal aforesaid. was disqualified from participation in said hearing by reason of bias. interest and prejudice.
 5-Because plalntiff was denied the right to be represented by counsel at said hearing by said board of com. missioners of public safety.
 G-Said denial of right of counsel was In contrayention of the cOnstitu- tional rights and privileges Of the plaintiff.
 T-The charges preferred were not made against the plaintiff by any per son as required by Section 8 of the ordinances of the City of Waterbury
