RULES MURPHY BOUND
 BY ACTS OF LANG

Judge John w. Banks has just filed with the clerk of the superior court his memorandum of decision upon defend- ants demurrers to the substituted com plaint in the $20.t0O suit brought by the city of Norwich against Ignatius J. Nur- phy and Walter W. Lang over the alleg- ed unlawful cutting of wood from the city reservoir watersheds
 The memorandum by Judge Banks is as follows:
 In sustaining the demurrer to the orig fnal complaint Judge Wolfe ruled and held that fin making the contract with the defendant Murphy the Board of Wa ter Commissioners was acting within it's legitimate powers"
 The plaintiff in it's brief says that the second count of the amended complaint alleges an ultra wires act of the board of water commissioners and re-argues the question decided by Judge Wolfe.
 Parties cannot be permitted to waste the time of the court by the repetition in new pleadings of claims which have been set up in the record and overruled at an earlier stage of the proceedings' D
 "The motion to strike out paragraphs 2, 3, 4, g and 10 of the second count is granted for the reason that said para graphs allege a cause of action already held insufficient upon demurrer. For the same reason the demurrer ot the defendant Patrick F. Bray to the substituted complaint is sustained. The first count of the amended com plaint sufficiently alleges 8 single cause
