COURT OF ERRORS
 HEARS APPEAL

The Supreme Court of Errors heard this morning appeal on the part of the defendant in a Superior court case recently tried in New Ha- ven county. Frank Morrow was the plaintiff in the original suit and Louis UrSini the defendant. Morrow did not deisre to enter into a real estate contract with Ursini, because a two family house owned at Savin Rock by Morrow was desired as a boarding house. Morrow felt that in fairness to his neighbors he should not sell. moving that the property would be used as a boarding house, which would have caused the neighborhood to deteriorate.
 Through roundabout and conceal ed means it is alleged that other per sons, misrepresenting the use the house was to be put to, bought it and n a. short space of time title was in the hands of Ursini, whom Mor- -ow did not wish to have business dealings with. The Superior court Ipheld Morrow, claiming that the property had been acquired by Ursini " deceit, and fraudulent means.

Wren against Citizens National Bank, Wat erbury. The plaintiff appeals from the denial of a motion to set aside a non-suit by the Superior court at Waterbury.
 It is claimed by the plaintiff that had the note not been paid until due that the money involved would have righfully been a part of the assets in a bankruptcy action. Other cases similar have been cited by the plain tiff who endeavors to show that ask ing and receiving payment of the note made the money involved the same as, hidden assets in usual bank ruptcy actions.
