Plainville News | T E ey GOUGHLIN TO FIGHT COUSIN'S APPEAL Willing to Have Court Decide Merits of Bill Papers In Appeal From Probate Court Served on Administrator—“Dips” dren Attended All Sessions. Asserting that his bill was legiti- mate and was far more reasonable than could be expected, William J. Coughlin today expressed the that the appeal taken by Charles F. Conlon of this place, from the ac- tion of the probate court allowing the atcount of the administrator of the estate of his uncle, Patrick Coughlin, will be heard in the courts in order that all questions regarding the merit ot the claim may be settled. Papers in Mr. Conlon’s action were served yesterday on Administrator Cray. The appeal is made returnable before the superior court at the Feb- ruary term. The action was brought through Judge William F. Mangan. The appelant, who is one of Cough- lin's heirs, objected to the action of the administrator in paying certain claims, amounting to about $700, to Mr. and Mrs. Coughlin. The bills were for board for the dccentric old man during a period preceding his death and for the trouble and ex- pense they were put to in having the body at their home up to the time of the funeral. Judge Newell of the Bristol pro- bate court concurred with the ad- ministrator when the matter was brought to his attention and Mr. Con- lon then served notice of an appeal. According to Mr. Coughlin, the numerous heirs, with the exception of Mr. Conlon and perhaps some of the members of his family, w¢e entirely satisfied with the bills. In fact they condidered the claim very low and admitted that more could have been charged. Rich-Morse Nuptials. With Rev. R. H. Burton, uncle of the bride, officiating, Augustus E.
