FURNITURE SHIPMENT CASE
 IN COMMON PLEAS COURT

At the session of the court of common pleas in New London Monday morning the case of James P Sullivan vs Ernest Schnirring was re-assfgned to Monday, Dec and the case of The Central Ga rage ys A. ". Bracons sdale was re-assign- ed to Monday, Nov. '.
 The case of Supreme Furniture Manu- featuring Co. of Jamestown, for the col lection of s449 on common counts was partly tried. The plaintiff was represent ed by Attorney Thomas E. Troland and the defendants by Attorney Frank L. McGuire-
 The plaintiffs case was entirely by de position. statements of the general man ager, foreman of the finishing department and shipping clerk of the corporation be ing reao by Attorney Troland. These de- positions showed that an order had been received by the plaintiff for certain goods and that they had left the factory in first class condition.
 John K Foran, witpess for the defense, testified that he talked to Friedenberg, who represented several factories at the same time regarding the purchase of the ciliffoniers and dressers in question. He WIS assured by Friedenberg that the fur niture was of the best quality, and that if they should not prove to be just as represented they could be returned to the manufacturers. Mir. Foran testified that upon the arrival of the furniture he un- crated one of the dresseTs and found that it was poorly constructed and finished. He showed the dresser to his father and with him inspected the Iema ming pieces of the shipment without removing the crates as the boards were from 2 to IS inches apart. The dresser, was re-crated and the goods returned to the Supreme Manufacturing Co by prepaid freight.
 Thomas F Foran took the stand and said he was present when his son gave the order. which he affirmed. He corrob- orated his sons testimony in regard to the condition of the furniture but was un- able to remember anything concerning letters written by the plaintiff in regard to the returning of the goods. Any. re- cord which he may have had was lost in the fire, he -ssd. --.--
 Judge Waller, who presided, said he thought it advisable to hear, the testi- n1ony of Mir. Friedenberg, the agent, to ] which the opposing counsel agreed and the case was continued until 2 o'clock the next motion day in New London, Monday ! Nov 2S.
 Court was adjourned, until next satur- day at Norwich.
