SEVERAL MATTERS IN
 SUPERIOR COURT ADJUSTED Perry Divorce Case Win Be Unoon- tested-Mystie Suit Partly Heard.


 At the superior court in New Lon don Tuesday the only case heard was that of R. A. Sherman's Sons Go. of Westerly vs. the Industrial & Manu- featuring Go. of Mystic.
 This is a suit for supplies. lumber, etc, furnished by the Industrial & Manufacturing Co. by the plaintiffs, Westerly contractors. The amount is approximately s5,000. The defendant company does not dispute the truth of the claim, but says that there was an agreement whereby the Westerly firm was to take some real estate in part payment for the bill.
 The property on which the factory is located is divided into building lots. It was this real estate, or rather a portion of 1t, that the Industrial & Manufacturing Co. claims Sherman's Sons agreed to take as partial pay ment.
 Attorney Barnes represented the de- fendants. The case was continued about one o'clock until next Tues day, owing to the illness of an import ant witness, and court adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock
 The cases scheduled for trial We'd nesday are Bessie A. Heath vs. Charles H. Heath, and Isabella Perry vs. Isabella Rodero. The case of OIAAAAAS Js NAAA4 eARHCeA HUI NOulL1 commissioners, which was down for the last Wednesday, will not be heard, as today formal notice of QuilPs withdrawal of the appeal was filed.
 Two of the cases for Tuesday-John Winslow and others, appeal from pro- bate, and the divorce suit of Frederick Perry vs. Sadie Perry, were otherwise disposed of. the former being settled and the latter made an uncontested case for hearing at short calendar
 When court came in here Tuesday morning Attorney William H. Shields, who represented Mrs. Perry, withdrew, and the case, through the decision of Mrs. Perry not to contest, will become an uncontested divorce action
 The action for a divorce was brought by Captain Perry more than a year ago. Mrs. Perry replied with a denial of the charges made in her husbands petition and a counter suit was brought by Mrs. Perry.
 The grounds on which Captain Perry brought the action are adultery and the correspondent named is Capt. George Lewis formerly of New Lon don. The charges included divers dates between January, -e06, and April of 1907. Mrs. Perry Is in New York city. While residing in New London MT and Mrs. Perry made their home in Perry street.
