ly a morning goes by without witness ing the. presentation o6 one or more prisoners in the town court some for minor. infractions of the states rules of law and order, others for more serious acts of commission.
 Wednesday was one of the days when traffic, as a, railroad man might say, was so heavy that the court was run in two sections, or sessions, and 1t was not until after the noon hour that all business was cleared away to make ready for more that appears to be about ready for consideration,
 Three men were sent to jail as the result of the days proceedings. One of these was James Burke, brought in from Attawaugan-3 days for intoxi- cation Joseph Lynch, a bricklayer, Springfield, Mass, who theatened to clean out a saloon on Main street Tuesday night and succeeded in creat- ing the impression that he was equal to the job until Officer V. H. Wether- ell appeared and spoiled all the dra- ma in the plot was another prisoner to be sent over to Brooklyn for a month.
 Then there was Clarence Warren. charged with adultery Warren was ar rested near Attawaugan, where he has been living in what is little more than g shack with Mrs. Nellie Laplace. This cOhabiting of the couple has extended over a period of about two years. War ren at first pleaded not guilty, but when he learned that Mrs. Laplace was about to testify against him in accord ance with what she had previously told the prosecuting attorney, Judge A. G. Bill, he changed his plea to guilty.
 The home where the couple have been living, with them being the two chil- dren of Airs. Laplace, little girls years and one year of age. is a place of utter squalor and extreme poverty. There was not morseI of food in the house when Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw went there. Warren said in court that he brought some bread and milk from Danielson to the home Monday night, and that that food was all they had It however, that Warren turned overe such money as he earned for the support of the woman and children on the occasions when he received any for working, which vas not regularly.
 Taking all of the facts into consider alton, Judge Tucker imposed a sentence of three months in jail for Warren. The woman and her children were sent to the town farm until an investigation can be made of their status and rights in this town Mrs. Laplace formerly lived in Sterling.

 There was a quick and unexpected termination of the case. of Nellie Egan ct al vs. the city of Putnam in the superior court here Wednesday, Judge William H. Williams presiding, when Attorney Charles l.. Torrey entered a motion for non-sult at the close of the pIaintifs' side of the case, the motion being granted by the court,
 The plaintiffs brought suit against the city to recover damages of $500 for alleged damage to their property here by the city in connection With the installing of sewers and the Tact that the city condemned the part oI the property in question for the purpose or constructing the sewer without taking the proper legal steps, A mandatory injunction against the city was also asked, The cIty's attorneys admitted L trespass but claimed that the proper steps for condemnation have since been taken, and that if there was any liability upon the city it was only to the extent Of nominal damages.
 During the presentation of the plain tiffs' side of the case deeds were SUD mitted as evidence to show that the pI0pGfty III quGStlOli LoAI y pC4o4l5Sets to Joseph Egan, father Of the plaintiffs that he mortgaged it and that the mortgagee quit-claimed to Mary Egan, mother of the plaintiffs.
 Immediately after the close of the plaintiffs side of the case Attorney Torreg, representing the city. made his motion fer neR- -suit on the ground that the plaintiffs had failed to show clear title to the property; the title still being in the estate of Joseph Egan.
 The arguments relative to the motion were heard by the court and the mo- ton granted.
 The plaintiffs were represented by Attorneys Eric H. Johnson of this city and Allyn L. Brown of Norwich.
