Smith, the father of the boy, to dissolve the temporary in- junction_obtained by Florence R. Smith, the child's mother. The outcome of the hearing makes no change in the status of the boy, but it provides that while the mother shall remain the custodian of the child until the merits of the case can be settled on appeal, the father shall, nevertheless, be entitled to the companionship_of the boy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each week. The appeal taken by the mother from the decision of the probate court of Old| Saybrook is returnable the first Tues- day in June, but the case will hardly be tried until the court comes in again in September. The motion for the dissolution of the Injunction was granted by Judge Haines whose memorandum was accompanied by stipulations _sighed by counsel for both principals which provides that both par- ents should share the companionship of the_boy. The hearing in Middletown Monday complets the second chapier in the case which gained public attention when Mrs. Florence R. Smith was defeated #n an ac- tion brought by Gordon B.
