City Court room in Norwalk on Nov-
ember 23. 1916, to Judge Henry -~\\'.
Gregory in the Probate Court. The
claim of a alatcr of the intestate. Mrs.
Harriet M. Scofleld, was allowed in
part. Mrs. Scofleld made a claim for
$1,8p0 against her brother's estate for
cot/oral ycara' scfilce in his household
under an agreement. The commie
sionera allowed Mrs. Scofield $1,725 on
this claim. Charles F. Sherwood be-
fore hls death made a will in which he
cut off a former bequest for $1.500 ho
had made to this sister.
