Three Local Cases
 In Supreme Court
Formal Assignments to Be Made Next Wednesday;
 Waterbury Case Among Actions Due for Hearing

Three Waterbury cases are await ing assignment for hearing on the June docket of the supreme court ot errors of the State of Connecticut. Two are appeals from the court of common pleas, and the other from the superior court. Three other Waterbury cases have been appealed but have not been printed and will not be heard during the June term.
 Assignment of cases will be made Wednesday, May 26, for the entire term. The appeal from the superior court is that of George A. France from an order of the court to Com pensation Commissioner James M. Lynch, in Frances compensation claim against William D. Munson of Middlebury. Commissioner Lynch granted an award to France against Munsen, which the latter appealed to superior court. The latter court ordered Commissioner Lynch to make some changes in the finding, and it is from this that France has appealed to the supreme court. At- torney Michael V. Blanstield and Attorney Harry Albert represent the plaintiff, with Attorney John H. Cassidy defending.
 Plaintiff Appeals
 A plaintiffs appeal has been taken in the action of Anna Chris tian against the City of Waterbury. Judge Edward J. Finn, in the court of common pleas, sustained a de- tnurrer filed by the city, causing the dismissal of the suit, and it is from this the appeal is taken. Summa & Summa represent the plaintiff with Corporation Counsel Charles s. o'Connor and T. s. Sullivan for the city.
 The other action to be assigned concerns the suit of Petronella Lllsas against St. Patrick's Church. The appeal is taken by the defendant, from the decision of the common pleas court in restoring the case to the docket, when it was once dropped by counsel, Attorneys John T. Monzani, R. J. Woodruff and E. s. Snyder represent the plaintiff, with Monagan and Monagan de- lending.
