 The Porter appeal was taken by the Waterbury Trust Company, trustee of the Porter funds, from decision of Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy which denied use of the estate by the City of Waterbury for settinr Tp a trade school. The city also was a party in the action and entered into the appeal tdthe high court, but it was dropped from the action by the Hartford court short ly after the appeal was taken.
 Advice of the local court was sought by the bank after the city reoGested use of the $200 ,000 estate of the late David Porter for its trade school project. The court ruled that the school desired 'by the city was not the type contem- plated by MT. Porter in his will. and denied use of the trust fund, ordering it to be distributed to heirs.
 Among the other cases which may be called when assignments are made Wednesday, April 26, is the defendants appeal in the super for court civil action of Henry J. Corden and other East End resi- dents against the Zoning Board Of Appeals of the City of Waterbury. The plaintiffs obtained decision from Judge John A. Cornell June 27, 1942, and an appeal was then instituted by the defense.
 The litigation was started about four years ago when the zoning board permitted an addition to the Sycamore Corporations building at East Main street and Wales street, occupied by the First National Super-Market. The plaintiffs claim ed the new addition affected the value of their property and was a nuisance to their health and safety. The appeal evidence has been printed.
 Michael Churchelow's appeal from a five to seven year prison sentence imposed on 8 charge of criminal assault also will be called for assignment Wednesday. Assign ment has been postponed several times by stipulation of counsel, and IL IS believed hearing will defin- itely be held next month.
