. USTAINED. Insurance Com- ‘r&. Testimony and ts. 18, Assig-nee, ed. $lodgett, of the ;s Court. ‘as yesterdayrendered United States Circuit to hara N.C. Per- tion of Assignee of the , a decision which has which, it will be scen, 7ery particular: i BION. %, one Newton S. Tay- odrnpt, filed his peti- tion making vanous vum ges against N. C. Per- Lins, the Assignee, who had been elected by the creditors on the 12th of April previous, and asking the removal of Perkins from the offico and fanctions of Assignee. On the 18th of July, John A. King, in behalf of the firm of Tolman & King, creditors of the bankrupt, filed & similar petition, and on the 2ith of Au- gust last Robert W. Halo and a large number of other creditors of the bankrupt filed their peti- tion to the same purport. On the 28th of Au- gust said John A. King filed an zmended or supplemental petition upon the same matter. To these petitions Perkins has made snswer, and voluminous proofs heve been taken upon the various questions of fact raised by the peti- tions and answers. I have not time to comment at length upon the testimony in the proceedings, Dbut after having carefullyread and considered it, 1 must proceed to dispose of the issues raised. The charges sgainst Mr. Perkins may be briefly stated as follows : s First, That he was scting in the interest of George C. Smith, C. M. Smith, J, Bradner Smith, and the Na- tional Loan & Trast Company, 8 private banking cor- poratlon of this city, who held nearly the ‘entire funds and available assets of the bankrupt in their posses- xion and control, and not in the interest of the gener- al creditors of the benkrupt, That he was elected puch Assignee by the votes of the said Smiths, upon est, anc 0 had been grosi gen! - i CaFul Ia hin CoRAUCt 85 gTER signee, 1o the inter- est of the general creditora. K Seeond. That since his. election as such Assignee, M. Perkins has refused to give or furnish to creditors of the bankrupt correct information in regard to the extent and value of the assets of the bankrupt, and the ‘probable amount of dividends which would be realized therefrom to the creditors: Third. That he has mades fraudulent settlem: compro! or transfer of a claim in favor of sai bankrupt, against the Tentonis Insurance Company, £aid claim being upon palicy of re-insurance issue by the Teatonia Company sometime in Eebruary, 1871, upon all the risks of the Btate Insurance Company out- standing at that time, Fe That after said State Ineurance Compiny became insolvent, and before it was adjudicated a bankrupt, ssid Perkins, knowing of such insolvency, had received payment in fullof demand for $400 which he held sgainst said company for professional services, Thess, T think stato fairly the substanco of the llegations against Mr. Perkins, upsn which his removal is domanded. 2 ; By hie answers Mr. Perkins - denies all the im- tions and charges of bad faith and want of igence and fidelity in the performance of his duties, and gives his explanation of the manner in which he disposed of the claim againstthe Teutonia Insurance Company, and his ressons therefor, and &lso gives his explanation of the tronsactions upon which the charge of obtaining an undue preference is based. . Ad to the first charge, or group of charges, the establiched facts geem to be,—thst for soma months prior to the great fire in this city, on the 8th and 9th of October, 1871, the affairs of said State -Insurance Company bal been mainly under _the management and _ control of B. A. Hulburt, President, C. M. Smith, Yice President, and Geo. C. Smith, Treasurer. The same persons were also the leading stockholders and osficers of the National Loan and Trust Com- pany, & private banking corporation of this city, and the deposits of said Insurance Com- pony were kept with Baid Banking Company. Tlist &t the time t ocearrence of the fire of October, 1871, by which said Insurance Company was rendered insolvent, said Banking Company hed in its hands cash and convertible bonds amounting to about three hundred and twelve thousand dollars ($812,000), acted for is me fully justified_in waitiog & decision of tho Tuseticna before begiaming proceedings to.5e cover the moneys in the hands of the bLank. While the right of the Assignee toit was the sub- ject of grave doubt among lawyera of ability, it ould seom but the part of common prudence for him to await the ]dwmon of cases involving this disputed principle. h'l‘bl:a zx:?idcnlns slows, further, that very soon after Judge Drumumond's decision was an- nounced, the Assignee waited on the bank oili- Cors, snd_demanded the money on deposit against which set-off had been claimed, sod guve notice he should take steps to enforce pay- ment if the right of set-off was longer insisted Tipon and his right of set-off disregarded. - At this time, George'C. Smith, President of the bank, was in Europs, but was expected home soon, and the Assignee was asked to delay till his return, upon the ‘promise or suggestion that & settlement could be then had. was awaiting his return when the firat petition was filed for the removal of the Assignes,followed in a few days by the petition of ilr. King to the same end. So far, there seems to be no gross negligence in the prosecution of the claim of the bankrupt against the bank, and the officers of the Com- pany. Dut the evidonce also shows that among the dsgets turned over to ‘the Assignee in May, by Mr. Hurlbut, was & large claim for re-ingar. ance issued to the State, by the Teutonia Insur- ance Company of Cleveland. This Company had removed all the risks of the State outstand- ing, up to some time in February, 1871, and had also been made insolvent by losses in the Chica~ go fire, and its affairs werein the hands of a Re- ceiver, under the Ohio law. Byreason of some pe- culiarprovisionsof law, ora Court order, the tima for proving claims against the Teutonia had nearly expired, and it was plainly the first duty of the Assignee of the State to sttend to it, which he seems to have- done with com- mendable promptness, and all the claims against the Teutonis were presented and allowed in time. This involved, as the evidence showed, a laborious collection and examination of proofs, which were widely scattered and complicated by the embarrdssments surrounding the Teutonia and its affairs, and the fact that the policy- holders of the State, whose risks had been roin-, sured by the Teutonia, had sent their proofs to the officers of the Tentonis, who returned them to the policy-holdors who still held them, 80 it became necesgary to hunt them up. It does not seem to me then that the charge of negligence and want of fidelity is made out by the proofs. ‘When the papers came into the hands of the Assignee, he seems to have set himself promptly at work about that which. most required atten-’ tion,—the Teutonia,—and was busy with it when the first petition was filed. 'He had also acted withont delay after Judge Bloflgel‘t's'npmmn was given, and awaited only Mr. Smith’s retumn to settle with the bank without litigation. ‘The evidence fails to Bhu;“ that there yrsa_finn undemlnndjnf or agreement, express or implie between Mr. 'erkix%s and either of the Smiths, or him and the bank, before his election, that he should in any way mannge the af- fairs of the ~ company in their interest, or that he was a party to the manipula- tions by which the set-off claims were concocted. Nor do I see in the testimony any evidenco that after his election he acted in tho interest of the Smiths, or under their control. The questions between him and them were purely legal ones. It was not necessary to a settlement that he should involve himself 1n a personal controver- 8y, or denounce them with hard words. The evidence does show that for some years he had, to some extent, beer‘the legal adviser of the Smiths, in some of their business transac- tions, and to some extent, before the fire, the Insurance Company. It nlso appears that at the time the creditors met to elect an Assignee, the Smiths and their frionds had obtsined a large majority of the claims then proven, and that their votes elected Mr., Perkins, most of the other creditors also voting for him. It is natural to supposo the Smiths, controlling the_election, would put in some person_in whom they had confidence. But this, - standing alone, does not show that the Smiths did_exercise any such overweening influenca oyer the Assignee-as to make him for- get his duties to all interested. The parties elect~ ing an Assignes must be presumed to know that, when once elected, he becomes the officer of the Court, and belongs to no set of creditors. His conduct is under the control of the Court, and creditors must be presumed to know it. Inow come to the second charge, that of re- fnsing to give information in regard to the value of the assets of the baukrupt, and the probable value of thege claims, It might be enough to dismiss thia by saying that the proof wholly fails to establish it'in any substantial particular. It true, when asked certain ‘persons as to the value of their cleims, thathe did not know their value. But most, if not all, these interviews were before Judge Drummond’s decision, and if that wero decided against the Assignee, their claims were not worth much. While it 16 the duty of an Assignesto give credi- tors all the informationphe can, yet he is not bound to give them an opinion on doubtful ques- tions of law or vilues. To withhold valueble information would be & gross malfeasance, yet it does not appear that he did 0. When interro- gated, the affairs of the company wero in & most unpromising condition, and the Assignee had nothing ~ to go by in impart- ing informetion. ain, risks to the oxtent of mbont =» million hed been reinsured in the Teutonia, and the register de- sed thet all said assets were converted info ¢ money &s early as the 1st of November, 1871, Soon after the fire said Beuking Company . purchssed mt fourteen to fiffeen cents on the dollar certificates of adjusted losses Ly said Insurance Compsny, to the amount of ! zbout two hundred and sixty-one thousand dol- ! Tors (8261,000),which were charged up _to their face upon the books of the bank, against tho indebtedness or deposit account due from the tank to the Insurance Company. There was sleo standing on the books of the bank en item o about £32,000 for mcney advanced before the fire, on sccount of the Insurance Company, for the purchaso of certain stock of the Company, | which bed been bought in and cancelled, or bought for the purpose of cancelling. Soon af- | fer ‘the fire certain sums were also paid omt by the Company, by checks upon its fundsin the bank, for ealaries of H. A. Hurl- imt, President, C, M. Smith, Vice President, aad Goeorge C. ‘Swith, Treasurer, amounting in 21 to abont eleven or twelve thousand dollars. ‘Some time in November, 1871, the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State; under the‘!mthnr— ity vested in him by the statuto regulating the affairs of insurance companies, caused a bul to be filed in the Circuit Court here for winding | op the Company’s affairs, and the Court ap- | pointed EL. A. Hurlbut Receiver, and dircctedhim to take posseseion of the assets. -He occepted the appointment, entered upon his uties, and took possession 6f all tle books, pa- <ers and securities, and the bank, on hisdemand, Faid over or transferred to his credit as Receiver on its books the belance of cash to the Com- pany’s crodit amounting to about $17,000 ;- that is thie bank, claiming to have reduced its Liabili- ties to the Company, on the deposit account, by the set off of 261,000 certificates, $32,000, and indebtedness bLefore the fire, and payment of hecks drawn for salaries, only admitted iteelf indobted in ;he sum of %7,?{)0, which was Vi~ aliy passed over to Hurlbut. S D eoaber, 1871, the petition was filed in this (Covurt on which the Company was subsequently sdjudicated bankrupt. But all thess steps to i vet-off against the main part of the sum Gus from the bank to the Company had been taken before the Receiver vwas appointed and be- fore the bzging'mg of proceedings in this Court Court of Bankrupicy. e lslnt glso appears that after adjudication of ‘bank- ruptey it was in contemplation between the Re- erver and certain cficers of this State to deny, Ly proper legal proceedings in some_form, the ~ower of this Court to supersede the United %mes Court in administering the affairs of the Compauy, and tothet end the Receiver refused for somatime after Mr. Perking was appointed Assignee to turn over the books, %spera, socnri- ties. or acsets in his hands. But in Mayan prrangement was made between Receiver and Assignee, by which the books were turned over to the Astignee, with the understanding that the quostion asto the controlling jurisdiction of flis Court, 28 against the State Court, should pe made uron the money, which the Receiver still retained. It will, therefore, be seen that at the time Mr. Perkins assumed the duties of Assignee, the bullk of tho availalls funds of the Company was claimed to bave Leen absorbed by the set-off claimed by the Netional Loan & Trust Com- 205 P ias becomes matter of history that the question of the right of persons indebted to banirupt insurance companies, to_buy demands ngainst them, and eet them off against the amount they owed the insurance company. was for many months, an open one in thiscity. Emi- nent aitorneys in the soundness of whose judg- ment in important business afTairs our citizens sro accustomed to confide, were divided in their opinions,—some of the very ablest members of our bar holding that such set-off could bo made either in equity cr bankruptey, while others held a contrary opinion, a0d I’ am not aware that the question resched & judicial hearing and determination until last June, when it was de- cided by Judge Drummond and myeelf,” after full argument, against the general right 'to gt off claims purchased or acquired after knowl. edze of insolvency. There had been a general t.derstanding on all sides that these were to b _by which the procéeding against: George . songdered testcases. ‘sierafore. the Assignee in this case seems to ecribing them delivered to that Company. Un- til it wes examined no one could state the claims against the han.kr;?t. 1t was an unknown quan- tity till adjudicated. 5 3 This brings me to the consideration of the third charge,—the frauaulent settlement of the claim sgaineh the Toutonia,—the facts in regurd to which seem to be that the claim against the Tentonis was adjustedat about $170,000. The Teu- tonia was windingup; its assets were small, and mauny unavailable, and 1ts lisbilities large. Under these circumstances the Assignee received and nccepted on offer of $22,500 for the demand. The Assignee accepted it by direction of Court. Other parties holding claims against the Teu- tonia ask mors Mr. Perking received, bub no mora has yeb been paid, though more may be Tealized by those who hold off. Itis possible Mr. Perkins may have sold too quick, but there is no evidence that he acted corruptly, or with eny other purpose than that of benefiting the | creditors, and that, too, upon information which he had taken much tronble to obtain. I do not ses how Le can be charged with having acted cither negligently or corruptly in transac- tion. The fourth, and last, charge is that of having taken s proference asa creditor, after knowledge of insolvency. . The facts are, that it appeared by the books of the company that, some time in November, a chock w8 drawn upon the beak on account of the bankrupt for $400, in payment of & bill due to Mr. Perkins for services rendered before the fire. : Mr. Perkins’ explanation is, that in January, 1871, he did some work for the Company as at- torney, for which ho churged $400, and they sgreed topay it. At the same time he overdrew his account with the National Loan and Trust Company to the amount of about €700, and, in edjusting this, turped over to the bank the account for $400, At this time the insurance cumy;my ‘was solvent. From that time on the bank held the account, but it seems not to have been seftled until after the fire. Upon these facts, I do not see how Perkins can beTightfully charged with receiving & prefer- ence. At the time.he turned the acconnt over to the bank and made the-agreement with the insurance company to payit fo.the bank the company was solvent. If the bank ‘had com- pleted the traneaction, by )iresentm_g the bill at once and - taking the check then in payment, which they took after the fire, no one would ~_have thought of questioning the transaction. It seems clear to me it is the bank, “if ‘any one, who' has taken the preference. _Certainly it was not -Mr. Perking, and his explanationr-must be taken as eatisfao- tory, and the disqualification is not made’out. The Judge then went on to explain the rea- gons which actnated him in approving the set- tlement that wasTigde on the 30th of August, ‘Smith and others was dismissed; that, by rea- son of- the ection .then taken, the Assignes came into immediate possession. of a large amount of ' momey, .and was_enabled to make s dividend of 40 per cent forthwith, which the Judge thought would bene- fit all the creditors more than protracted litiga- tion would have done. = The Judge conclnded : Taking into consideration the complicated con- dition of the affairs of the bankrupt at_the time when Mr. Perking assumed the duties of As- eignee, the result, it seems to me, should be quite satisfactory to the creditors, ,ft i8 proba~ Dly truo that those results may have been at- tained at 50 early a date by reason of the'insti- tution of the proceedings, and the vigilant eye which certhin creditors have kept upon all the acts of the Assignee. But the results are reglized 8o far, as soon a3 could reasonably have been expected, and-I doubt whether any good ‘would accrue to the creditors by electing"or appointing & new Assigneo at this time. The work now seems well in hand by the present Asgignee, and, with the.same watchfal eyes that have followed him so far, there can bo little danger of his going amis; The rule to show causeis disehxtgefl., the costs to b taxed against the estate, and paid by the Assignee in due conrse of administration. Counsel for petitioners fled excoptions to the of the Qamrt, HORSES AND HENS. No Further Trouble Anticipated from the Epizootic. The Report that the Hens and Tur- keys Were Sick Contradicted. The damp snow of yesterdsy occasioned some alarm lest its influence would be to perpetuste, in amore serious form, theepizootic, orincrease the number of purpura cases. At noom, many business firms and owners of Work-horses, doubted whether it was good judgment to allow their convalescing animals to be exposed to the melting snow, and thought seriously of again converting their barns into nurse-stables. But the result of these deliberations generally was, that it was botter to run the risk of their ani- mals suffering & relapse, than to cange a cessa~ tion of business by withdrawing them. ‘When Trae TRIBUNE reporter called atb the office of Superintendent Crain, of the South Bide car line, he found that gentleman in consul- tation with his assistant as to whether they should keep their horses out ormot. The re- porter listened with close attention, not more because it was a matter of personal interest to ‘himself than because he knew the result of the consultation would be & matterof interest to the renders of this paper. The pro and con, of the matter was considered, and the final decision was that tho horses should be continued on the track till they showed signs of injury. Mr. Crain £0ys he considers it a duty to run the cars of his line, and shall continue fo do 8o till his horses exhibit signs of returning weakness. _The reporis from Now York that the-horse disease had become a fowl disease, has, nataral- ly, excited some elarm in this community, lest many s fat turkey, mow being propared for Thanksgiving or Christmas, be suddenly taken off by the epizootic. Indeed, it hes been Te- orted that varions fowls, both wild and tamo, 2va enuffed the noxious vapors, and have fallen E‘;ay to that monster of monsetrs—epizootic. allay these alarms, s TRIBUNE reporter called at the varions public coops of tho city yesterday, and, his ite plessure, found ‘no chickems afflicted with the izootic or purpura. Every roost was eserted, and every feed-trough emptied. There was not & bird with running nose, nor s single feathered biped whose limbs were swollen. Ev- ery bird of 'iht was on the wing, and, aithe approach of the rep air was darkened with full-siretched wings. Fowl dealers spesk with decided emphasis when denying the report that their stock is dis- ensed, angd ought not to be sold; and, indeod, in one case, offered to carve a raw hen, to demon- strate tothe reporter that her meat was free from impurity. It18 needless to say that the reporter was quite willing, indeed anxious, to believo the statement of the fowl dealer, unsustained by the digsection of his hen. Neither has the purpura_incressed in the cil among thehorses, Even Dr. Branson acknowl- edsed, yesterdsy, that his fears were in yvain, sud tht purpurd wag decressing, and had nof been influenced by his opinion. But he said that yesterdsy would work disaster, he feared, among many ammals, for the melting Bnow would have the same effect upon them as a rain. But Dr. Rauch says that dropsy does not result from rain or shine, but is the simple result of overwork or poor constitution. The North Side Railway aro still operating their horses, and_say that the effect is to in- ;:!r’nnse their appetites, and generally to improve em. The following is the report of the number of dead horses received at the Union Rendering Compm;'m the week onding Nov.18: Nov. 12, 40; Nov.18,88; Nov. 14,21; Nov. 15, 29; Nov. 16, 88; Nov. 17, 12; Nov. 18, 81. It must not be supposed that, because the re- port received on the 18th exceeds that of the 17th, the mortality is on the incresse. The ex- cess i8 explained by the fact that the city could not remove horses as they died, and on the 18th, it incrensed the force engaged in removal. The deliberations of the West Side Company still gotun, and will continue till—the cars are run out. THE LAW COURTS. NOTES OF INTEREST. (Hirsh v. Loomis et al, 41,344, Superior Court.) In this cause plaintiff lays his damages at $18,000, in trespass on the case, for failure to carry out an agreement for the payment of money, etc. Plaintiff affirms that heis the in- ventor of ozone, for which he has received let- ters patent ; and that the defendants entered into an agreement with him to send him to purify the air in Detroit River tunnel, and for other purposes. They afterward refused to pay expenses, or to carry out the sgresment, and he asesses his damages thereby at the above sum. . Joseph M.

The Bouth 8ide Railway Company received, a day or two since,from New York, three new cars, which are to be placed ‘on the line running from Union Park to . wenty-gecond street. Ten cars have been ordered, but the number men- tioned is the first instalment, the others being due next week. The vehicles are what are Inown as ‘“dome” cars, an elevation in the centre warranting the name. They are pro- vided with all the *‘modern improvements,” euch as_rubber x—mmm%2 gear,. corrugated steps, wide platforms, new breaks, etc, By the formaz, sida mation is sbviated. and vibration .0, according to plans acd sp. becomes impossible. On the sides of the dome are numerous glass dows, ' which can be opened at will, and ventilation made as perfect asgmgmbla; and b’i‘hflm same means abundant light is secured, ore are thrée lamps, one at each end of the car, and the other pendant from the centre of the dome, which will enable pas- seugers to see one another at night. The seats are composed of slats, such as are generally nsed in street cars. The cost of a car complote is 81,150. Theo three cars were running on State street yesterday afternoon, and being bright and shining attracted much attention. The West Side Company have also ten new cars, but they aro of the same prtterns us the ones now in use. | The makers of these comfortable vehicles are John Stephenson & Co., New York. By the middle of next week, should the epizootic not continue to interfere with travel, twenty new cars will bo on the track for the accommodation of the publi AMUSEMENTS. GLOBE THEATRE.
