 serves Decision

Testimony in the $2,000 suit of George Holt against the City of Waterbury was completed in com- mon pleas court yesterday after noon, and Judge John F. McDon- ough reserved decision. The action is based on injuries suffered in a fl on an alleged defective sidewalk on Maple eet July %, 1889.
