Judge Burpee in the superior court
at New London has issued an alter
native writ of mandamus against
Judge Mathewson of the New Haven
city court. The action was taken at
the instance of Attorney z p. Arvine,
counsel for Attorney j. P. Goodhart,
who was recently fined S25 in the city
court by Judge MatheWson, for con-
tempt of court
The writ of mandamus has been
brought to compel Judge Mathewson
to sign bill of exceptions, so that an
appeal from his ruling in finding At
torney Cfoodhart in contempt, can be
taken to the supreme court.
1t is understood that Attorney Good
hart proposes to find out whether any
one found guilty of contempt of court
can have redress on an appeal.
The common belief is that there is
no appeal from the ruling of a court
finding a person guilty of contempt of
court.
Judge MatheWSOn is summoned to
appear before the superior court on
March % and show cause why he
shall not sign the bill of exceptions so
an appeal can be taken.
Attorney Goodhart was the attorney
who appeared for Addie Burns in her
trial in this city last year
