Thomas A. Baker, et al., all of South
Woodstock was put on trial. The
plaintiff claimed an injunction and
$500 damages in a disagreement over
a water supply. The parties are neigh
bors in South Woodstock and occupy
property that at one time was all in
cluded in one farm. On the farm is
a spring and from it a line of pipe
runs to carry a water supply to the
Phillips and Baker homes. This line
of pipe runs from the Baker to the
Phillips property and then back to
the Baker house from which place it
goes to the Phillips house. Three
years ago the pipe was cut by some
unknown person at a point on the
Phillips land. Mrs. Phillips claims
that Baker is responsible. Later the
pipe was cut on Baker’s land and a
counter accusation was made, and'
from all these misunderstandings the
suits result. Searls & Russell rep
resent Mrs. Phillips and Torrey &
Geissler represent Baker.
It was expected that Thursday
would be the last day of the present
session but Judge Bennett likes this
city and said he would come back
again this week if any of the attor
neys desired to try cases. This was
appreciated and the Cole-Bennor case
was claimed for Tuesday.
In the Superior court Friday, Judge
W. L. Bennett reserved his decision
after hearing the argument of a mo
tion to set aside the non-suit in the
case of Ferdinand Girard vs the Gros
venordale company.
Judge Bennett denied a motion for
remittur filed by the defendant in the
case of William Scheel vs. the Con
necticut company. Both of the cases
were heard at the present term of
court.
