Judge James H. Webb of the supe- rior court has handed down a decision dismijssing the appeal and. allowing | and approving the conservator's ac- | count in the case of Alice E. Young ot Stonington against . Elizabeth - Cole- grove, administrator of the estate of ! the late John Mason, who lived on!' Mason Island. i The case was an appeal from the Stoninstoh probate court over the' amount that was allowed to Elizabeth ! j Colegrove for taking care of Mr. Ma- son in the latter vears of his life. . He died at the age of 91. The testimony showed 'that when Miss _ Colegrovy went to take care of him he was liv- | ing in a miserable condition in an old house on_Mason’s Island. Judge Webb writes the memorandum of decision: Upon the trial of this appeal from the allowance of the appelles’s ac- count, as conservator for -John Mason following j (now deceased), it was expressly stat- ed_and conceded by counsel that the only item of the account, the propriety of which was questioned by the ap- pellant, were those of the charge' for the services of the appellee in'caring for John Mason for the two periods mentioned in _the account;. the .firet from Dec. 1. 1913, to Nov. 1, 1916, at $100 ‘per month, $3.500; the second from November, 1916, to - Mason's death, November, 1917, at $100 .per month, $1,200. - 1 find that Miss Colegrove came on from her home in Tllinois, in ;Novem- | S ber, 1913, at the express.request.of returns today (Saturday) to her home r. and Mrs. Joseph Schwenk and | in the interest of her health, and | Other _suests rat] Tallis were |, Wednesday and Thursday Mrs. Rogers | iy I f] 1 1 206 Main Street lderstanding on. his part that she hould be reasonably and hb\e\v_‘:"ly ile ompensated for her services. no particular sum was agreed upon, it was not expected her services would - be rendered gratuitously, and she is justly entitled to be compen- sated for what the services she ren- dered Mr. Mason were fairly and; reasonably worth. The duties which =he undertook to perform for him were - especially unpleasant and dis- agreeable, and it would have been daif- ficult, if not impaessible. to have found any other suitable person who would, have undertaken the care of Mr. Ma-| son and perform the services which | were efficiently and faithfully ren-| dered by the appellee. She was enti- | tled to be justly, if not liberally, com- pensated. Upon all the facts dis- closed upon the trial, I am unable to find that the amounts charged in the| conservator's account and allowed by | the probate court are in any dezree unreasonable and excessive. JUDGE WEBB DENIES DIVORCE IN THIS CASE| In a- decision just handed down by| Judge James H. Webb he dismisses’ the divoree action of Iva Rice Brown| of Voluntown against Everett Eugene! Brown of Westerly, which was tried| before the judge in the last session of the .superjor court here. The couple were married on Oct. 19, 1915. the di- Yorce being sought by the wife on the grounds of fraud in the marriage con- tract and intolerable cruelty. In part, the decision of the judge sdys: The marriaze of these parties was hastily and imprudently concejved and effected by the fraud of the de- | fendant in signing the yames of the! plaintif’s parents (she being a minor) | o what purported to be their consent, | pursuant te which a license was ls- susd. The parties lived together for only two or three weeks when the de. fendant left the plaintiff, apparently at_her demand and request. The gomplaint in the first count sets for the defendant's fraud as a ground of diverce in the nature of fraudulent ! contraef. At the hearing I indicated to counsel that I would not zrant di- vorce on that ground. The second | count alleges intolerable cruelty for, the two weeks or o in which the two| parties sustained the relation of hus-, band and wife. * * * I cannot find upon the evidence a case of intolerable “Hime' -u-.ii:ry ghot- Gughly, follow with Tight appli- cruelty. |a rash and impulsive act on the part of these young people and no doubt they both desire to have it undone, if possible, and I am constrained to the conciusion that the grievance which the plaintiff claims to have sustained from of the defendant ably 1 has been consider- magnified in the plaintiff's mind. am unable, upon the evidence, to each such a finding of the facts, rhich in Mayhew vs. Mavhew, Conn., 23 tolerable cruelty and a ground for di- vorce.
