Of Mr.. Converse, the receiver.
These cases attracted a good deal
of attention when tried in the supe-
rior court of Hartford county in No

that the questions involved affected a
large number of individuals in this
section who had been stockholders in
the company. whose home was in

was appointed receiver with authority
under the laws of Minnesota to col

necticut. This claim, after being de-
cided against the banks by Judge

cision of a majority Of the supreme
court of errors, from which decision,
however, Judges Hamersley and Case

stitute. Mr.. Converse, the receiver,
his counsel, William Waldo
Hyde and Charles Welles Gross. took
the cases to the supreme court of the
United States on writs of error, where
they were argued on Thursday jan
uary IA, Of this year. BY the decis-
ion of that court, rendered on Mon
day. the right of the receiver to re-
cover for the assessments is fully sus-
tanned and it is expected that a mum.
Der of cases pending in the courts of
this state in which the receiver is
seeking to recover from other stock
holders the amount of the assessment
levied against them and which have
been held up pending the result of
these writs of error to the supreme
court of the United States, will now
be brought on for trial.
AS a result of this decision about
forty other suits will be brought
against as many stockholders who live
