Justice Ford Loses Plea
TO Sit in Special Term
No Basis in Law for Compelling
of Assignments, Justice
Benedict Finds
Supreme Court Justice Benedict,

Supreme Court Justice Benedict, sit
ting in Brooklyn, denied yesterday the
motion made recently by Supreme
Court Justice John Ford for an in
junction restraining tho Appellate Di-
vision of the First Department, New
York County, from continuing to dis
criminate" against him in its assign
ment Of justices, thus keeping him
from special term work in the New
\ ork Supreme Court
Justice Ford argued that during his
he had been practically excluded from
while other justices of more recent
appointment were favored.
Upon the argument Of the motions
on February 20 wrote Justice Bene-
dict, "the conclusion seemed inevitable
that the plaintiff could not prevail,
there appearing no basis in law for
the action. A perusai of the briefs
confirms this opinion.
"On account of the gravity Of the
questions presented and Of their i'm
portance, not alone to the parties, but
more especially on account Of their in
f1uence upon the due and orderly adj
ministration of justice throughout the
state, prompt decision of the motion
by the court of first instance is i'm
perative.
THE defendants motion for iudg-
ment on the pleadings on the ground
that the court has no jurisdiction Of
tie subject matter Of the action and
that the complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute 81 cause Of ac-
tion is granted without costs, and the
plaintiffs motion is denied without
costs"

The decree is a climax to Cardinal
O'Connell's dramatic arrival in Rome
after long ocean race. only to find
that the new Pontiff was elected an
hour before his arrival. The haste
with which the Boston Cardinal en-
deavored to reach Rome deeply affected

ships for Italy and also the uncertain
ties Of the northern route.

over the new decree. which is the re-
suit of the initiative of Pope Plus him

the ocean was not altogether in vain
