Don’t Want the Court There. >
The esteemed Sentinel very grace-
fully takes itself down from its high
horse on the Town Court question, but
now assumes the ground that two courts,
i. 6. one sitting here“ in the city of’
Norwalk and the other at South Nor-
walk is as a fifth wheel to to the coach
and an altogether too expensive luxury.
In fine, the Sentinel’s aversidn to the
reform measure is so strong, it rejects
the preposition to have one of the
courts established at South Norwalk,
as entirely unnecessary and superflu-
ous. Here is what it says:
“There is no necessity for two courts
with'the same jurisdiction sitting in
this towngt the same'time, to try on
an average less than two cases a day.
It will put the town to a double ex-
ense. We suppose the arrangement
to give Norwalk and South Norwalk
each a court was made to avoid any
sectional feeling. This may be com-
mendable in spirit, but we think un-
wise. Exactly the same results can be
secured with one court as two, and
neither section would be put to any
hardship were the court to be located
in either city. It certainly would be a,
great saving of expense.”
As our city comprises a much larger
population than South Norwalk, of
C)UISB the above ‘can only mean that
the one court should be established up
here: This is not desired by our peo-
ple, yet- if the Sentinel can show that it
is not alone in the wish, as it was in the
passage of the bill, and this feeling is
at all general at its end of the town,
our section no doubt could be induced
to submit to the Seniinel’s plan. We
doubt, however, whether such a course
would be either wise or satisfactory to
the general public. Better not in any
way hamper the complete success of
the new system, but all try to make it
beneficial and acceptable to the whole
of Norwalk. So clear the decks and
make way for the new system of me-
ting out justice, and to the retiring ofli-
aisle of the old dystem, one and all, the
GAZETTE hastens to extend the assur-
ance of its distinguished consideration.

A Use For Sparrows.
There is a new and novel use for
English, sparrows which the average
American citizen of sporting proclivi-
ties has not so far discovered. It re-
mains fer the Chinese in the Unitec"
States to direct attention to a novel
purpose to which cock sparrows may
be devoted, somewhat in compensation
for their otherwise useless existence.
That John Chinamau somewhere from
some source, inherited considerable
sporting blood, though he may not out
much of a shine himself in a street
brawl, is pretty generally known. That
he has a wholesome respect for Ameri-
can justice is also a familiar fact. Cock
fighting is prohibited, dog fighting
likewise. So in order to have just as
much fun as he would at a cock or a
dog fight, John has made experiments
with eock Sparrows, and the result is
said to completely fill the measure of
his happiness. The fighting Sparrows
are trained on the same principles as
game cocks; their wings are clipped
and their spurs fitted to gaffe as keen
{is the point of a needle. They .can
soon be trained to make as good fight-
ers as two Spanish roosters, and those
who have witnessed an exhibition 'of
this sort declare that next to a 'rat kill-
ing no Chinaman will admit that any-
thing can surpass in interest 9. cooking
main between two educated sparrows.

The. divorce case'of Benedict against
Benedict was called in the Superior
court, yesterday, and Attorney Light
read the papers to his honor. Phoebe
E. Benedict of Norwalk asked that her
marriage ties with George L. Benedict
be broken upon the grounds of . deser-
tion. It seems that George was not
quite content with one wife and four
years ago when the couple'were living
in New York he ran away with another
woman.. He was arrested and brought
back for trial on the charge of adul-
tery, but friends got the matter settled
and the couple lived together again.
This arrangement, however, was only
an excuse on the part of George to
escape, a term of Sing Sing, as a week
after the reunion he left again and
nothing has been heard from him since.
His relatives have not even received a .
letter from him and it is thought that
he is dead.
Judge Robinson asked if proper
notice had been served. Attorney
Light said that the notice had been
published once, and as he understood
that was sufficient under the new
statute, as he believed Judge Robinson
had once ruled before. The judge
shook his head and said the attorney
must be mistaken. He was aware that
the statute left the matter at his dis-
cretion but he had invariably made it a
rule in all divorce cases to require the
fullest possible notice to be served,
provided by law. He accordingly
ordered that a notice be published in a
Norwalk paper once a week for three
weeks. Mrs. Benedict looked a little
disconsolate when she heard that she
must wait three weeks longer.

. Munson Hawley Released.
As published in these columns, yester-
day, Munson Hawley, a well-known
resident of New Canaan, was brought
here for examination as to his sanity
and fora hearing before the probate
, court for his commitment to an asylum.
Doctors J'.’ G. Gregory and Walter
Hitchcock, made an examination but
did not consider his malady sufficiently
aggravated to cause his being placed in
an asylum. Judge Woodward. ordered
his release, and in company with his
employer, G. F. Johnson, returned to
his home in New Canaan. On arriving
there he was further examined by Dr.
Scoville of that place, whose verdict
was in accord with that of the Norwalk
physicians.

Matinee Whlst Club Dance.
The dance given by the Matinee Whist
club at the Athenteum, last night, was

gether a brilliant post—lenten affair.

some and the scene was a joyous one:

gramme was not called until an early
hour this morning. The patronesses of
the dance were Mrs. Robert Van Buren,

Mrs. F. St. John Lockwood.
Q.
As Others See It.
The Norwalk Town Court bill passed
the Senate Thursday in concurrence
with the House. This relegates the
“Injustice system” to oblivion, and the
grand jurors who liquidated their ob-
ligations to the Justices in endorsed
blank writs, will mourn to find their oc-
cupation gone while the higher courts
will have less cases to throw out, on
appeal from the decisions of Norwalk
J ustices.—Danbury Dispatch.
Dlvorced.
In the Superior Court, at New Ha-
ven, yesterday, Carrie B. Wolcott was
.granted ‘a divorce from Harvey D.
Wolcott, on the grounds of infidelity,
and the custody of a minor child was
awarded to the mother. The couple
were married in 1892. The corespond-
ents named in the application for the
divorce, reside in this city. Wolcott at
one time conducted a bicycle store ‘ on
Main street, and is well known here.
