ACTION BROUGHT HERE FOR TRIAL
PhiIOmena IzzO Seeks $lO,OOO Damages for
 Estate of Luigi IzzO

The $10,00O suit brought by Philo- mena Izzo of this city against Mat thew D'Addabbo and Catherine Santamarie, also of Waterbury, has been transferred from the superior court at New Haven to the same court here. Judge Ernest c. Simp- son has granted permission for the transfer, approving Q motion for transfer filed by Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, counsel for the defend- ants.
 In the motion, Attorney Fitzgerald pointed out that the principals in the case and all the witnesses came from Waterbury, and that the ac- cident on which the litigation IS based took place here. He argued that the only one who would be ir- convenienced by a transfer from New Haven was the plaintiffs law yer, Attorney Alexander Winnick Of New Haven. Before the motion came before Judge Simpson, Attor- ney Winnick also consented to the transfer.
 Mrs. Izzo brings suit as the au- ministratrix of the estate of Luigi Izzo who was fatally injured in an automobile accident on East Maill street December IS, 1885. It IS charged that DAddabbo was negli- gent in the operation of the car, owned by the other defendant.
 The suit will now be tried Tn the superior court in this city, though the action was originally filed in New Haven.
 Under the statutes, permission from transfer of suit from the docket of a superior court in one city to that in another can be given either by the judge sitting in the court where the action was origin ally filed or in the court to which its transfer is asked.
