The matter was argued by Arthur M.” Brown and Attorney Collins of Providence in support of the demur- rer,-and by Hadlai A. Hull, with whom was William H. Shields, in support of the second reason of appeal. Thescontroversy between the coun- sel appeared to center about the !DODB of ‘the wording of the second reason of appeal.
