Declaring that the court was de-

directors of the San Benito vineyard

appointed by Judge Graham Tuesday

the order set aside.
The receiver was appointed on the
complaint of c. NJ. Lewis. who until
April 16 was manager of the corpora
tion's plant at Hollister and who is
one of the stock holders. He alleged
that he was being squeezed out by the
other stock holders and that a wrong
full assessment of $40 share was
about to be made. The methods of the
directors, he said, were wrecking the
concern.
The directors. John, Dickinson. Will

1T was agreed when he left that
there should be no assessment of stock

CHARGES AGAINST
 LAWYERS BY CLIENTS
Mrs. McCloskey Alleges Be fore Bar Committee that She Improperly Paid $15 to Attorney George A. Mullen.

Judge Charles + Peck of Stratford and Attorney George A. Mullen, this city, were heard by the grievance com mittee of the Fairfield County bar, yesterday. on charges preferred by clients. The accusation against Judge Peck did not seem to find much weight with the committee. Mrs Em- fly R. Brown inherited $4,000 under the will of her mother, Anna Warner. A sister contested the will Mrs Brown employed Judge Peck to make the de- fense. She alleges that Judge Peck advised a settlement, and promised as an inducement that he would give her half of the compensation he would receive from the state. She alleges that Judge Peck received s350 and re- fused to pay her half. Judge Peck denies making such an agreement.
 Attorney Mullin is charged with ob- taining $15 from Mrs. McCloskey. mother of a young man, who was charged with theft. and whose counsel he had been made by the state. Mrs. McCloskey alleges that Mullen first obtained s5 flor expenses,'' and that he then demanded S10 of her, which she reluctantly paid "to keep her son out of iail.''
 Attorney Mullen admits receiving the S for expenses but declares that the mother voluntarily gave him the $10 because she was overjoyed that her son would not have to go to jail.
