WIN THEIR FEES.
Robinson & Robinson Successful in Action Against Robbins 6 Pattison.

Lucius F. Robinson and John T. Robinson are to receive their attor- ney's fees in connection with the suit of Robbins & Pattison of Norwich against the Central Vermont railroad company in the United States court, which was tried in 1910 and resulted in the verdict for the Norwich concern to recover $32,000 against the rail- road company for the loss by fire of some icehouses at Stafford Springs.
 A bill of $1,771.04 for services and disbursements in the suit was render ed by Robinson & Robinson, but Rob bins & Pattison refused to pay, claim ing that the Robinsons were acting for the Connecticut Fire Insurance company, and not for them. Robin son & Robinson brought suit against Zebulon R. Robbins and Frank B. Pattison in the superior court of Hart ford county to recover their fees, and the action was tried before Judge Ralph Wheeler a few weeks ago. Charles w. Comstock of Montville, who was the senior counsel in the suit against the railroad, was an inn portant witness as to the circum- stances of the employment of Robin son & Robinson, but MT. Comstock could not recall many important de- tails when he was on the witness stand.
 Judge Wheeler has granted judg- ment for Robinson & Robinson to re- cover $1,929,S4.

CLEARED PALMER BARN
 OFF WITH DYNAMITE
City Sues for $2.ooo Damages in ob-
 struotinq Reservoir Work.

In pursuance of a suit for damages for $2,00O which the city has brought against J. Raymond Palmer and Car rie A. Palmer, his wife, an attachment was served upon them Friday morn ing with an order to vaacte their barn on the watershed of the new Stony brook reservoir.
 Following the attachment, the per sonal property was removed from the barn and it was blown up after an attempt to pull it over had failed.
 Deputy Sheriff George H. Stanton and M. J. Martin served the papers. Supt. J. J. Corkery was with them and after the service the employees of the water department commenced to re- move the personal property from the barn.
 This consisted of three horses, har- nesses and other utensils which were taken to Mert Swans and put in his care.
 The work of clearing up the water shed will now proceed so that the res ervoir can begin to impound water by Dec. 1st.
 The present contention puts Mrs. Palmer in a peculiar position, as at the hearing she disclaimed all interest in the place and waived all claim to compensation from the city on account of the city taking this property. The obstruction which the Palmers have placed in the way of the city de- veloptng the reservoir is ground, it is l claimed, for the suit for damages The court judgment was obtained Oct. 2 1911, and money to pay for the farm was deposited with the clerk of the superior court Nov. 1, 1911.
