Hartford, March 16.---The forfeited rights committee reported favorably cn the petition of Albert A. Green berg, former prosecutor in the New Britain court for restoration of his rights which he lost through convic- tion of an offense in connection with certain bootlegging cases in that court Senator kenealy explained the circumstances. He said the commit tee thought that the attorney had been severely punished and the ques- ton was whether his character now is such to warrant restoring to him his civil rights and the committee thought it was. States Attorney Alcorn was the only person to appear in opposi- tion and he was a trifle bitter in his attitude, and said the senator, the committee felt that his duty ended when he completed the prosecution of Greenberg and his appearance before the committee was that of a private citizen. Greenberg's offense, for which he was convicted was accept ance of a bribe of $500 under the guise of charge for services given to a person accused in the case. The senate unanimously voted in favor of restoration of rights
 The bill has yet to go before the lower branch of the legislature. It is expected that it will be taken up for action by the representatives the early part of next week.
