The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-02

preme Court the other day was deedeu to 1t by Queen Anne in 1705.
 Its history stretches way back to the days of the Dutch governors of the island of Manhattan, when New York was officially known as New Amsterdam. .'-
 Roeloff Jams, the first husband of Aneke, obtained a grant of land from the Dutch Governor Van Twiller. On his death his widow married Domino Everardus BOgardus, and the land was confirmed to her by Peter Stuy- vesant in 1854. The farm was sold by her children to the English Gov ernor, Francis Lovelace, who held it 1105 gave the land to Trinity Par ish, which had been incorporated under royal charter in 1697.
 Recently one of the heirs of Aneke Jans Bogardus living in Illinois got q notion to set aside Queen Anne's grant to the church corporation, and brought suit to that end with the result stated.
 The case was called before Justice Blanchard and a jury, but was dis missed as soon as the attorney for the plaintiff outlined what he expected to prove. The plaintiff was required to pay the costs. The case of the Bo- gardus heirs against the Trinity Cor poration was thought to have been settled in 1760. The New York Mer- cury of Oct. 27 of that year gave an account of long trial of a suit brought by a family by the name 'of Brewer. The case lasted twenty years. Since that decision all claims of the sBOgarduS heirs have not been considered as worth anything by law yers, and the suits that have cropped up at intervals have generally been instigated by interruptions lawyers. Other suits against Trinity for this valuable property were brought in 1S43 and it was found that Samuel G. Mason, attorney for Allan Weaver and John Webber, was not an attor- ney.
 In the judgment of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the English suffraget who was mobbed here last week by a thousand clerks from the banking ana stock exchange houses in the ti- nancial district while attempting to address an open air meeting in that part of the city, the 'hooligans of New York are no different than the hooligans of London or the rest of the world.
 Pankhurst whether he lives in New York or London, whether his speech has the Yankee twang or the cockney accent, He's, always the same silly lit tie boy; and like other silly people he is not worthy serious notice. I should
 
 ism is equally unimportant wherever you find it, here or elsewhere Re- duced down to cold fact what is it?
 "A few ignorant persons of the male sex, young in understanding and us- ually young in years too, find that something new to them is thrust upon their notice. In this case the new thing happened to be suffrage speech by woman. It might >equally we'll have been something else. Then these harmless youths express their amaZement ana contempt The two feelings go together in children also: any new fashion of dress or de- pertinent displayed by one of their number becomes signal for the scorn of the others. They laugh aloud, they shout, they make meaningless calls: the most alert indulge in slangy repartee which seems to them i'm mensely humorous.
 They generally seek the support of numbers for their. performances When solitary they are bashful and tongueless It is only as "the gang that they are not afraid to let them selves out. That is another and a sure sign of their truly childlike mind. forgive them for they know no better.''
