Joseph H. Elliott, lumber dealer of Pomfret, has brought, through his attor- neys; Torrey & Geissler, of Putnam, a civil action in which the Rhode Island Hospital Trust company of Providence and Henry H. Davenport and John F Grosvenor of Pomfret are made defend ants. The plaintiff asks the reformation of deed in which it is alleged certain standing timber has been conveyed which it was not intended to convey. This timber is valued at around $S 900 and a writ of injunction, signed by Judge George E. Hinman of the superior court, has been served on the defendant Gros- venor restraining him from disposing of or cutting the timber alleged to have been included in the deed by mistake.
 The action centers in the large estates of the late George Bradley and his wife, Helen Bradley, of Pomfret, for which the Rhod1 Island Hospital Trust company
 was trustees. Under an agreement with the trust company the plaintiff bought i the property and was allowed to parcel 1 it into various tracts and upon complying 1 with certain provisions of the agreement | the trust company furnished a deed to ] whomsoever the plaintiff designated 1 The substance of the allegations in the | lengthy complaint of the plaintiff is that i the plaintiff sold to Henry H. Davenport, ! acting as the agent of the defendant l Grosvenor, a certain tract of land divid-
 ed by a road leading from the home of
 Fred Child to the home of John F. Han ] ley. In the deed, plaintiff reserved all the timber of a certain growth standing
 thereon. There was second sale of land to the defendant Davenport. acting as 1 agent for the defendant Grosvenor The
 plaintiff alleges that it was his intention by this deed to include that part of the timber excepted and reserved in the first ldeed, standing on that part of the first
 tract of land sold, which part was on the
 south side of the road dividing the prem
 ises. but that, by mistake all of the
 timber standing on the tract, including
 that on the north side of the road, was
 conveyed.
 The court is asked to ce-form the deed
 so that it will carry out what the plain,
 tiff alleges was his intention, which wa:
 to convey only such timber as was or
 the south side of said highway. In order
 to protect his interests until the matter
 can be judicially determined, plaintiff
 sought and has procured the injunction which prevents the defendant Grosvenor . in whom the record title to the timbe
 now stands. from disposing of it, unde
 a penalty of S1,000. The writ is return
 able to the session of the superior cour ; to be held the first Tuesday in Septem ! Der.
