. —-Judge Curtis Refused to
Delve into Episcupai law
In an opinion handed down on a
question of discharge of garnishes in
the action brought by Edward N.
Jackson. the organist of Norwalk.
against the Episcopal society of Trin-
ity church in Bridgeport. Judge Howe
ard J. Curtis of the civil common pleas

brought this action.
It. will be 'i'ecallcd that the church
obtained a judgment of $1.200 against
the. city of Bridgeport. In bringing his
suit Mr, Jackson not only" garnished
the city, but. he also served similar
papers upon former Congressman Rob-
ert E. lit-Forest, who was counsel for
the church and is one of its principal
officers, ,
In the motion for disclosure which.
was argued at a recent short calendar
session. it was shown tlrat the judg-
ment had been transferred to Mr. De
Forest. The plaintiff claimed that this
was illegal and cited some ecclesias-
tical law to support this contention.
Both sides brought up church law. but
Judge Curtis did not care to go into it;
From the 11evldence offered he is of
the opinion that the. plaintiff did not
make out this claim, so the motion is
denied. In making the decision Judge
Curtis says:
“As any finding that this court
' night make upon this di isclosurc is not
binding upon either party, and is of
slight importance for that reason. the
court does not feel that it is called
upon to delve inl1 ecclesiastical law

Shalier. of Milford. formerly of Strat-
ford, was continued in the common
pleas court, today to June 23 on ac
count of the sickness of Mr Bullock.
The motion for a continuance made by
Jacob P. ('Ioodhart. counsel for the (1111
fondant, led to some warm passages
between the attorneys. As s011n as the
case was called, the jury was excused
and Dr. Lewis, of Stratford, was asked
to inform the court regarding the con-
dition of Mr. Bullock. Dr. Lewis said
Mr. Bullock was laboring trader great
nervous apprehension. and that the ex-
citement Incident to the approach of
his trial and the obloquy connected
with the. charge made against him had
brought on a violent sickness. He said
Mr. Bullock had vomiting spells and bit-
Ious attat ks and was unable to be
present In court.
Stiles Judson. 11f Siratford. counsel
for Miss Shallcr, reviewed some of the
previous poatponemenets of the case
to refresh the. court's memory. The
last postponement was granted, he
said. because Lawyer Goodhart bad
desired to get the. deposition of a wit-
ness who had gone to Virginia. This
witness. said Mr. Judaon.has been back
in this vicinity for some time now, but
no attempt has been made to bring the
person in court,
Mr. Judson, continuing. said that
Mr. Hullcck had enjoved exceptionally
good health for several years before
the. date of his trial. If a continuance
was necessary, however. Mr. Judson
hoped that the date named would be
before the beginning of the summer
vacation season. He apprehended, too.
that some other course of delay would
be introduced at that time. At. this
point, Mr, Judson started in to review
the alleged conduct of the clergyman,
\fr. Bullock. in vigorous languagebut
he was interrupted by Attorney Good
hart. who characterized Mr. Judson‘s
remarks as "clap-trap" and said the
object of counsel for the plaintiff was
simply to furnish material for the pa-
per's and damage the reputation of the
defendant.
Mr. Judson was replying with some
apparent heat, when Judge Hubbard
stopped them both anti announced
that a continuance was granted until
.Iune 23.
The plaintiff with her child In her
arms. was in the court room.

the withdrawal of the Japanese upon

primarily to operations against Port

would take General Oku and the asc- ‘

in the roar. A direct attack upon Gen-
