of next Wednesday.
The remainder of the afternoon session
was spent in arguing a motion for a
temporary injunction in the jury case of
Emerson w. Perrys administrators VS.
| Adelaide A. p. Hunt. The injunction
was prayed for in behalf of the defend
ant by J. f. Cushman of Burlington and
its purpose was to restrain the plaintiff
from further prosecution of the law suit
until a chancery case involving practi-
callv the same matters should have been
heard and decided. w. II. Davis of
Middlebury opposed the granting of an
| Injunction in behalf of the plaintiff. No
decision was given and at 4:45 o'clock
recess was taken to 8 o'clock a. m. on
Wednesday.
