The court of common pleas was busy st New London with the case of the city of New London against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company, Tuesday, to restrain the company from erecting a fence across Maple avenue in that city. The con- tention of the railroad company is that there is no highway at Maple avenue. Sorme years ago wiien the board of sewer commissioners of New London sought to lay sewers in Maple avenue the rallroad company brought suit to Testrain them, and then the city, took a license from the railroad coripany o cross the avenue. Later ‘the rail- road company sought to erect a fence closing up the avenue, claiming that if there ever was a highway_there it had been abandoned since 1883, wiien a statute was created prohibiting rail- road crossings at grade. A _motion was made by ‘the defend- ant’s attorney last week that all testi- mony as to the use of Maple avenue as a highway since 1883 should be stricken out and the court decided in favor of the defendant. The testimony on Tuesday was largely that of people residing in tho vicinity of Maple avenue as to the use of that avenue as a highway. The plaintift has closed the testimony on that side and the defendant put in evi dence Tuesday aiternoon. The case will continue through today. Ha jumbing replaced b; T ves pivwbing.
