In the Circuit Court

Several Important Papers Have Been Filed.

The Wuerthner Case Appealed. - A Divorce Wanted After Two Week of Marriage. - A Partition Wanted.

Although there was nothing of great importance transacted in the court house Tuesday the papers that were filed are of considerable interest to both the parties and others. In the case of Carl T. Wuerthner vs. The Working men's Benevolent Society, of Manchester, a writ of error to the supreme court has been filed with the proper affidavit and bond. The matter in controversy is $78 of sick benefits clamed by Wuerthner. The defendant claimed that the action of the sick committee and the the society was final and there was no appeal from the same. The plaintiff, by his attorneys, Lehman Bors. & Stivers, admitted that in the nature of the society there was no appeal to any higher society but claimed the appeal to be to the courts, where the only question at issue was, was Wuerthner sick or not.

Caroline Esch, of Manchester, by her solicitor, A. J. Waters, asks for a partition of a certain piece of land in Freedom worth $5,000 subject to a $2,500 mortgage. She alleges that she has recently been granted a decree of divorce from the defendant and that he has not paid up the costs and threatens to waste the land. She therefore asks that the land be sold and her dower and other interest set aside.

In the case of Mary E. Dixon vs. Clarence B. Dixon an order for attachment for alleged neglect of the order of court in paying alimony, etc., which was made Nov. 12. Randall & Jones are the complainant's solicitors.

Mollie Forthoffer, of Ypsilanti, by her solicitors A.J. Sawyer and H.W. Childs has filed a bill for divorce against her husband Jacob Forthoffer. The couple were married Jan. 17, '99. She charges her husband with having become involved in a criminal charge preferred by Emma Richel, of Ypsilanti. This she says she learned after the marriage.
