Greenwich Town Officials Receive Court Reprimand
Judge William Malthir of Superior Court reprimanded Greenwich town officials and police for detaining Ann Jackson at the Greenwich Town Farm for four months without lawful habeas corpus proceedings. The ruling followed arguments by town counsel Wilbur Wright and opposing Greenwich officials that Jackson was temporarily placed at the town farm due to a vacancy at the state home for women. The court held that officials had no right to detain her at the farm under the existing order.
