 John J. Fitzgerald of Pawtucket
 known in Westerly by his frequent visits
 during court sessions, has been awarded
 an honorary degree of l.. l. D. by George
 town university, on the fftieth annivers- ary. aIr. Fitzgerald was thus honored with five other prominent attorneys graduate from Georgetown.
 There are but 8 few cases tried in the superior court at Westerly, where a mo- tion-for non-suit is not interjected at Borne period in the trial, and it is an ex- ception Wben.the jury is not taken out while the cousel discuss some point cf law concerning the testimony, or argues for and against the motion for non-suit. Not long ago a case was non-sufted before the trial begun. The ease was called from the docket and the counsel for plain tiff was not ready to proceed, the coun- sel for the other side insisted and the
 court caincided. The plaintiff was called and non-suit was recorded.
 Some years since counsel for plaintiff in case on trial tieclared in open court that his client had misrepresented the case to l1inr, had deliberately falsified and he requested to be relieved from the tria! of the case. The. court advised that the trial of the case proceed. and the counsel remained and conducted the case to the end relying upon what he knew to De the facts but lost the case.
 be.fuu membership of the town council
 of westerly is seven, but since the death
 of Councilman GhGries G. Craig, more
 than a year ago, his chair at the Inahog-
 any table has been vacant. Four mem
 bers constitute a quorum. At the last
 meeting Counciimen Moore and Harper
 were absent, and Councilmen Datson, Campbell, Thorp and Zerberina were
 present. The last named recently return
 ed from 8 hospital and is not in good
 health. He was, however, able to attend
 the meeting and tire business proceeded. If he had been unable to attend, the bus
 mess of the town could not have been lleSdlly ITdIlSdClSus
 It was urged soon after the death of
 Mir. Craig that his successor be elected for the term of nearly two years. This
 was not done and in consequence the town council has been without the full mem
 bership. On several occasions a bare quorum has been present at meetings and | the town business has therefore been con- ducted without any serious detriment >Paweatuck lodge, F. and 4.
