On tho morning of Deo. 16, a burglary was committed nt the German boarding-houso, No. 66 North LaSalle streot. There wore boarding there two brothers, named Ischam, who slept in tho pamo bed. About § o'clock in the morning thoy were awakened by the noiso of somo por- gons ontoring the room. Thoy eaw the burglara breaking opon boxes and buroaus, and thought it best to get out of bod and try to arrost them, Anton Yacham was tho first to discover thom, and first to jump out of bed; his-brother Nich- olag followed, and Immediately grapplod with ono of tho thioves. Both went to the floor—tho burglar ander. Theother burglar, finding himeelt disengagod from Anton, and belng armed witha rovolvor, shot twice at Nicholas, wounding him soveroly in the left brosst with ono shot.

Judge Drummond Tovsely Lays -Baro tho Complicated Facty. 11is Honor States the Grounds apon Which 1o Removal of tho Assigneo Mny Bo Prayed For, Tn what promised to bo a vory dry matter-of- fact oxposition of tho law as to whothor the de- murror by Assignoo Porkins to the ravisory poti- tion for his removal waa good or not, Judgo Drummond yosterdny dolivored an opinion that not only will prove a precodont on an important point of law, but makes unusually intoresting reading in respoct of sovoral mattors rolating to {l:o Blato Insurauco Company that have lately ongngod publio attontion, and on whish tho opinion of His Honor had not hithorto boon oxpresged, Without furthor preface we give THE DECISION, An application was made to the District Judgo for tho removal of Nr. Porkins, the Ausignoo of tho Btate Insurance Company, upon varlous rounde, , Tho Assigneo anawored tho applica- tion, proofs wero taken, and the District Judgo refused to romove him. Somo of tho creditora liavo presented a potition to tho Circuit Court, undor tho aceond soction of tho Bankrupt law, nsking u roviow of tho decislon of the District Judge, In tho potition thero aro somo allega- tions which appear not to lave boen pro- gonted to. tho District Judgo, ond which are objected to by tho Aus‘iunu. partly for that roason, and partly becaueo thoy do not contaln ony eubstantivo ‘mattor ne ground of removaly and the question conies up on the sufticienoy ol theso now allegations and tho right of the poti- tionera to present thom in_this Court. As I stated during the argument, I invo no doubt of 1ho right of & party to proront naw allogations; iu othier words, to nek of the Circuit Court tho congideration of new matter, In:ovlflnrl o propor coso is mado to that ond. It ig hardly fair, however, whero au npplication i mado for iho removal of an Ausigneo that sny of tho koown canses for romoval should bo withhold from tho District Judge. In other words, tho wholo mntter in ite full scope ehould bo pro- sonted to the District Judge for his considern- tlon, It s hardly juet to tho District Court, whon any particular cause is known_(whioh is one of several) that it should be withhold and tho othors prosonted, and tho decision of tho District Judge baving been adyeres to the appli- cant, to present to the Cirouit GCourt this additional cause, ;When the cause is unknown— when it has como to the knowledgo of tho appli- cant in the Circuit Court subscquontly,—thore would seom to bo no good reason why tho Cire cuit Court should not hear it, inasmuoh as it fa the provinco of tho Clreult Court to exorcise a onoral suporintendenco over the nots of iho Bistrict Oouxt, whiora thero 13 wo appeal o writ of error 1o the Circuit Court, In Jooking into tho new ailogations, hawaver, Tdo not lmow that it is absolutely neccssary for the Court to declde the first point, becanso I hardly think thoy contain substantive independent grounds eufiicient to warrant tho Court, if thoy had been mndo known to tho Dis- trict Judgo, in romoving Mr, Porkins, Tho simply amount to this: That thoro was s stoc! subscription of this Company for o vory large sutn, part of whioh wae bold by somo of tho por- sons againet whom complaints have boen made by those potitionera from tho beginning, aud nmong whom waa this Assigneo; an upon which stock subscription thero bnd beon only 24 por cont paid. It is alloged that this stock subscription was made or increased for the purpose of obtaining control of the com- rany + that at a moeting of the stockholdora on ho 13th of Jauuary, 1871, & by-law was passod by which overy fivo shares held by tho stock- holders wore to bo surrondered, and omo full sharo was to bo fssued. Of courso it would follow from this statemont that, originall; tho _whole amount of stocl which was nn; Afll would be duo but for this by-law of the 12th of January. But the only porsons who could com- plain_of this arrangomont wero the creditors of lhu Company, As to the stockholders, it would &gom to bo no guad ground of cowplaint, If tho Company liad gono on and transctod buei- noss and contioned eolvent, no complalnt would have beon made. It was only in case of tho in- solvency of tho Company that tho creditors might havo the right to call upon the stook- holders for tho payment of tholr original sub- soription. As connacted with this, It was statod that tho roport was aot mado by 'tho Assignso, as it was his duty to do, Thoro s also added thoboliof of the potitioners as to tho motivo which caused tho Assignoo to withhold a report, which al- logation, of courae, cannot bo condiderod se vory maferial, a8 no fact is stated upon which tho belief ie founded. I wonld £y in rolation to tho omission te make a roport that it is not per se such an omiesion as would warrant the Court in romoving an Assigneo ; it may beve beon thmufi;h somo inadvertenco, which any Aesignoo might be guilty.of. "Thon thoro {8 this furthor allegation : that u to the 13th of Beptembor, 1872,” whon the divi- dond of 40 por cont was doolared, tho claima proved up amounted to £400,000, and that of these olaims 216,000 and upwards wore hold by the Bmiths, and their ngents and confodoratcs, which claims had beon purchased from the original owners, who held policics of insurance against thia bmkrudpt compsny, after tho filing of the potition; and that, wheu tho claima came to be proved up, and tho dividends on them pald, a8 they wora by tho Asaignoo, thoy wore .proved up and pald without that part of gon- ‘oral ordor No.. 84, adopted by tho Bupremo Court at tho Decombor torm In 1871, hav- ing been complisd with, Tho order requircs that, whore claime havo boen assigned beforo being proved up; they shall bo eupportod by the doposition of tho awnor at the time of the com- moncoment of the proceadings in bankruptoy, gotting forth the considoration which was givon for the dobt, and whother or not thoy weore peoured. This was not dono, and it ia said that the Assigneo know that it wae uot. Bupposo that is true? The Court muet prosume that tho proof was allowed by the Rogistor in Bankrupt- cy, and thero ia noall agmm. hero thst there was any wilful or fntentional omission of a duty on the part of tho Assignco. It may bo that this rulo was at tho timo unknown to tho Assigneo, and oven to tho Roglstor. Thoro Is nothing In thoso now allogations to ropel that inforonce. It was a now rule, and may have beep unknown as well to tho Hogistor aa'to the Assignoo, and if so, then certainly it would bardly bo' an adequate cause for the removal of the Assignoe that he did not comply with it; and, if it woro known to tho Assigueo and to tho Registor, and the Roglster made tho order for tho payment, it could hardly bo enld to bo such o dolinquendy on the part of the Assignos as to justify his romoval : This is all theroe 18 In tho now allogations ; ths rost is slmply mattor of argument ; and I do not thinl that thoso cauaca aro of such a chatactor a8 to require tho Aeefgnos to go to proof upon them, or that, it thoy were eatablished as stated in this portion of {ho petition, they wonld bo material. It ssoms to me, thorefors, that the domurrer must be sustatned, Mr. Cooper su pponed that the gonoral prayor for reliof would stand. The Court—Ot courso. T do not considar this vory materinl, one way or the othor. The ground upon which the removal of the Assigneo is asltod, must dopend upon othor mattors. Thero 8re two grounds, porhiaps moro, upon which bis removal may be asked: Opa i{a whore he acta fraudulently or corruptly; anotber is where Lo shows that ~he is Incompetent to discharge tho dutlos of- tho office, Thero may bo a third, whoro bo makes himbelf so much & partissn of ono aide or ono class of croditorss or dobtors, as the caso may bo, as to indicato that hois not tho proper per- son to administor tho trust., DBut hero, au [ underatand, it is put on tho ground that the Asslgnes hus ncted with bsd motives, Unfortunately, in this easo, & quarrel has grown up Detweon cortnin clages of crodit org, Whethor or not the Assignco has taken siden in the quarrel mn{ Lo a question. IHo ought not to, of course. Whon I examined this question Loforo, I stated to the Assignen that lie oughit not to mako himselt s partisan in any way a4 Lobwoen any classcs of croditors; but that is not a queation that is presented now, Ar, Smith remarked that eo faras ho bad any knowledgo, sinco he had been retained, ho bhad usad overy offort, and hoe thought snocessfully, to keep tho Assigneo from taking sides in wha had uow becomo Littor quarrel. Chis had causod his client to bo abused moro or loss by both eides, 1o had advised tho Assigneo to act with entiro impartiality, Mr. Cooper sald, on’the final hoaring of the mattor, ho wouldl Jike to introduco the schioduly utl inventory, which Lad been unintontionally omitted from tho potition on file in the Rugis tor's ofice. 1o undorstoad, from & doolsion of tho Court, that the potition could be amended. Mr. Bmith had no objection to the whole rao- ord bolug in. If nn{ portion of the original pa- org would bo_called to tho attention of tho onrt, ho wou)d want to call attention to othor pupors that rofght oxplain them, ‘Lho Olvowld Uonrh waw nod in sosulon yoators | and tho ordor wne sccordingly suspended I tho Oourt meots: —————— SANITARY MATTERS.
