cbSSuElOn given TttEl TUT SSf VICE. HI tFae case of Thomas Leonette against An gelo Comporto, took the defendant in to custody. Some time ago LeCnet'e 6 and CompOrto were in a, fight, during which, 1t Is alleged, one of Comport I's fingers was bitten and put out of share and is of very little use. Civil suit ii damages was brought in the superior court and Judge Stearns awarded da r, ages of S250 and execution was issued to recover. Sheriff Mitcnell could l Id no real or personal property upon which to levy and was therefore ca- quired to take Comporto into custody.
 Leonette agreed to withdraw c;s rights to damages provided Compo % would pay the costs, which proba7iJ meant attorneys fees. but Con1por - said he could not pay, as he lad 10 money, all his earnings being devo @ to the support of his k1fe and five children.
 Therefore Sheriff Mitchell WIS obliged to commit Comporto to the jail at Kingston. During his incarceration his family will be without his support and Leonette will be required to ply for the board of Compoi to. He Wa be compelled to remain in jail so long as his board is paid by the p,aintif. or until such time as h1s release GU. be obtained by legal process. It is probable that at the expiration of the time limit. if the case is not otherwi"e disposed of, COmportO will oe permit ted to take the poor debtors oath and be released from jail.

The intro ductory of the valuable records, which represents about a quarter century or research and the expenditure of seV- eral thousand dollars, reads as fol- lows:

The perm contract for tEs transfer of mails in Westerly, between the railway station and the post office has been awarded to Amos Burdick the lowest bidder. His bid of $720 has been accepted and he will begin the service April 1. In the bids for tenn porary service from March l to April 1 Theodore Picard's bid was the lowest and 1t was supposed he would be awarded the permanent contract. but the post office decided to accept MT Burdick's bid. The service given by MT. Picard during the month has been Postmaster Butler and his working force.
 John Lynch, who has attended to the transfer of mails for several years. as an employe of the late James A. WeIch and of Arthur s. Swan, his successor when the transfer devolved upon the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, has declined an of fer from MT Burdick to enter his employ and attend to the transfer ser vice.
 MT. Lynch has the acquaintance of all commercial travellers coming to Westerly and is engaged by them in the transfer of their sample trunks. which is quite a business in itself In making the low bid, MT Bllrdick took service of MT Lynch and with it the business of the commercial travellers hence the low bid for the transfer of mails. MT. Lynch said his employer had always treated him fairly and that he did not propose to injure his business for the sake of a few extra dollars in salary.
