How did you feel as you stood be-

"I felt. sorry for the people who

A. case which had attracted much
interest due to the interesting and
novel points raised by. the plainti!
during the years of litigation has
been the suit of Frank D. Quinlend
against Charles B. Carlson. which
was brought to a close yesterday.
when Judge Huxford of .the Court
of Common Pleas sustained the de-
fendant's demurrer.
The parties have been'centesting
the case for three years. It was a
suit brought to collect a commission
claimed to be“*due on the dais of
real estate. The case has been tried
five times before the City Court of
Norwaik. and the plaintiff received
decisions In his favor from Judge
Vosburgh and Judge Mead of
Greenwich. who were over-ruled by
Judge Huxford In sustaining the de-
fendant's demurrer. It was heard
three times before the Court of
Common Pie":
The defendant appealed from the
judgments of Judge Vosburgh and
Judge Mead. of Greenwich. to the
Court of Common Pleas. where s.
demurrer to the complaint. claiminl'
that no demand was made upon. the
guarinshee within sixty days after
Judgment and that there was no le-
gal ‘judgment. This claim was sus-
tained. The plaintiifilled an amend-
ment to his complaint. contending
that there was a legal stay of execu-
tion due to the court's delay in de-
ciding the case. Judge Husford held
that the point was not well taken
and sustained the defendant's de-
murrer on both grounds.
The plaintiff was represented by
