 County Superior Court.

The committee on the judiciary re- ported favorably on the bill for the creation of an assistant clerlxship for the superior court for New London county.

The position will be honorary.
 Senator Blakeslee said it was a most remarkable case that man could be found in the state who was willing to give his services for noth- ing The clerks of the courts re- ceive pretty good salaries, but not withstan6ing that fact some of them want an increase in their salaries. He was surprised to learn that there was a lawyer in New London county who was willing to do work without compensation. The Judiciary is very expensive to the state He would like to know the name of the man who was willing to work for the state for nothing
 Senator Searls said he did not care to have the matter disposed of in a summary way, and he therefore with drew his motion for the passage of the bill under suspension of rules.
