DO WE WANT ‘ A TOll'N (‘Ol'li'T ?
Pursuant to the call of Senator Bill.
the members ofth'e bar or this town that
in the Court of Burgess‘ rooms Monday
evening. to consider a proposed bill for
the establishment of a town court in
Norwalk. This bill. which was printed
in the Hour on the 23d inst, is now be-
fore the judiciary committee. and the
hearing on it was assigned for last ”Wod-
ncsday. but which “has been deferred.
The attendance at the meeting consisted
of nearly every member of the bar. and
a few “laymen“ from this city. Senator
Hill presided, and Attorney Gray acted
as secretary. The bill was read over,
and several alterations which .v'rere sug-
gested were referral to a committee on
revision consisting of Attorneys Hurl-
bntl. Light. Wamer and Frost.
The bill proposes the establishing of a
court similar to' the ones now in opera-
tion in Stamford. Birmingham and oth-
er towns. and provides for a judge. dc'
puty judge, a prosecuting attorney and
assistant. and a clerk. It is to have a
criminal jurisdiction in all city. borough
and town cases where the penalty does
not exceed $230. or the'imprisonment six
months, or both. and civil cases where
the amount involved does not cxccvd
$5,000. In short. it is tho purpose oftliis
court to do away with all trials by jus-
tices‘of the peace.
As there has been no action on the part
’of the people of the town for such a
court. and as all action thus far has been
without their request. and largely with-
out their knowledge. the inquiry is quite
general why such it bill should have
becn presented to the Legislature. “’e
do notmcan by this that our represents
tives have ofiered this bill on their own
account. Or havo tried to force iii
passage without the knowledge or con-
sent of the people. 'I‘hc'call made by
Senator Hill for the meeting of the bar.
although it was printed exclusively in
> an uptown papervalforded the informa—
' tion that. such a bill was under consider-
ation, and gives thcm opportunity to
olfor whatever objections they may have
to its passage. Furthermore. wve are
confident that the bill will not become a
law until it is approved by tho town.
The question for consideration is. will
such a court be satisfactory to the town?
“'6 think we can answer for this city
thatit will not. It will undoubtedly‘ be
urged that wherever such a court has
been established it works well. But we
do not know of any town in the state
having such a court that has two as dis-
tinctivo centres as the town of Norwalk
—a city and a borough which are to all
intents and purposes rivals though har-
monious in their relations. At present
all the town business is done in the bor-
ough,.rthe last town ofilcs having been
gobbled up in the combining of the
oflloe of collector and register. The only
business left that parasites at all of town
character is the branch oilioe of the
selectmen. \\’e do not speak of this for
the purposc'of complaining. but to show
that South Norwalk by the present con-
duct of townatfairsholds about the same
relation to them as tho outlying suburbs.
South Norwalk might be hono-
fitcd by a city court. but we fail to see
how a town court would accommodate it
hotter than under the present system.
We know it will be said that the court
can sit on alternate days in this city. but
that would not accommodate the police
business of the city. It would neoossi-
tate an addition to the day force to take
offenders to the borough when the court
would be in session there. and add to
the already large fees which accumulate
in trials of the most trivial offenses.
If a city or police court could be estab-
lished in this city with a jurisdiction in
petty crimes and for violntion of city
ordinances. where the offender could be
brought to direct trial without the pre-
sent machinery, It would be an advantage
It would in many cases save offenders
beingxmulcted in heavy fees. and permit
of a due in excess of what at present
seams to be imposed principally to save
the town the com.
The appointinant of the judge by the
Legislature. to proposed by the bill, we
think is a serious mistake. As thsjudgs
in to appoint all the other officers of the
court. Norwalk virtually will have no
voice in its make up. but it will human-
lpulated: by} few and be beyond the con-
trol of the people at large. To sum up
till) matter. the prvipbsod court savors al-
together toc'much of a lawyer-3‘ scheme
to provide remunerative offices at town
expense. and to take from the town the
managt'iment of its own affairs.

grandson. John Comstock. Esq.
The Rev. Dr. Seward. acting pastor of
the Congregational Church at \Vilton.‘

gavsa brief outline of her life and de-
livered an address. which presented the
prominent. lessons of her exceptionally
prolonged life. \Ve give the outline and
brief portions of the address.
Mrs. Clarissa Davenport Raymond was
born at Stamford.Conn. April 25th. 1762.
Thepart of the town in which she was
born now lies within the limits of New
Canaan. having been set off near the
beginning of this century. She has
lived in widowhood more than seventy
years. She became a member of the
Congregational Church in this place. for-
ty—four years ago. She was seven years
old when \Vashingtou was inaugurated.
She was in womanhood when the Reign
of Terror in France prevailed. She
lived through the whole ieriod of the

of Bonaparte. \\‘h:it we learn of her
early history must bo gained chiefly by

in her last years to rcpito entire hymns
