VERDICT SET ASIDE
 WITHOUT ARGUMENT
In Suit of Case Bros. Vs. New Haven Road-Other Business at Short Cal endar Session.

At the short calendar session Of the civil superior court at New London Friday, Judge Milton A. Shumway set aside the verdict, rendered by jury, at this session of the court, for the plaintiff in the case of Frank Case and brother vs. the Connecticut GO. The verdict was set aside without ar gument as being contrary to evidence.
 This suit was heard last week by Judge Shumway and jury. Frank Case and brother of Colchester sued the Connecticut Co. for damages sustained in a collision between a trolley car and an automobile, in which the plain tiffs were riding. The collision oc- cured at Rockville.
 The plaintiffs sued for $S,000. The jury returned a verdict for them for S1,1G0 Brandegee, Kenealy. Brennan & Whittlesey, counsel for the COnnec- ticut Co. moved for setting aside the verdict, claiming that it was contrary to evidence. Judgo Shumway ruled that the verdict was contrary to ev1- dence and ordered the verdict set aside
 Attorney c. Hadlai Hull. who con- ducted the case for the plaintiff, said that ne had not decided whether the case would be appealed to the supreme court or not.
 There was a spirited argument of the motion for removal of case from jury to court list in the case of Ste phen N. Bond and others vs. Samuel T. Littlefield, and others. Major Had lai A. Hull, counsel for Littlefeld, al legged fraud and Attorney Arthur L. Shipman of Hartford representing the plaintiff, retal:ated by scaying that there had been nothing even ap preaching fraud except the uninten- tional misreading of the bond by At tOrney Belcher and by saving that the case was "sloppily brought by Hull, McGuire & Hull.' It was decided that all the issues except damages should be tried by the court unless special issues are filed in three weeks.
 The motion to strike out the demur- Ter was granted and an amended reply in two weeks was ordered in Charlotte H. Trail vs. Mark D. Stiles.
 The same ruling was made in Will fam II. Trail ys. Mark D. Stiles.
