Judge Frank n. Tfaines of the su-
 perior court at MiddIetown signed an injunction this morning to re- strain Peter n. Curran of this city from busting the New Britain CIo,hinr company from property on Main street. The papers were taken ou, by Counsels B. F. Gaffney and George W. Elett. acting for the clothing company and were served by Constable George W. Stark upon Cur ran this noon. Curran has previous ly sought by summary process ac- ton to dispossess the company ar guing that they had not fulfilled their part ot m agreement relative to the sale of the property. The case was to come up Monday morning at city court.
 Shortly after the New Britain Clothing company took over the a clothing store. he agreed to sell for s140.0oO. After papers were signed Curran declined to close the deal. Upon advice of their at- torneys the new proprietors rendered him siS,ooo in cash and Judge B. r. Gaffney brought suit for specific per formance of the agreement. The &C., tion went to superior court but be. fore it could come properly before that court, the body adjourned.
 Curran's next move to oust the company by means of the summary process action resulted in the taking out Of an injunction which restrains Curran in bonds of ss.0oo from con- tinuinG the action. The matter must nor come before the next session of the superior court or must he dis. solved by agreement of the two parties. .--
