2 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1873. = = THE COURTS. M= 1 ‘A Lesson for Defondants Wh Appeal. ¢ Questions of Interest to tho Mercan- tile Community, Rooent Rosorts to the Reforee System ~-~The Amended Bill in Munn & Soott, The @uestion of Reinstating Suits Sus- ponded in‘State Courts After Adjudication in Bank- ruptey. The Bupromo Court has decided thé coss of Brooks v. Martin ot al., appealed from Winne~ bngo Gounty. This was a bill to foreoloso two mortgagon mado by Desonna Brooks to John A, Blanchard aud Tssne N. Pholps, both of which had boon sseigned to William T. H. Drooks, Hannal Martin, a party dofondant, anewored the bill, and filod o cross bill, in the lattor slloging that Dosonnn Brooks had satlsfied tho mortgnge, ond tliat tho assignment to William T, H. Brooks woa fraudulont, aud made and prooured by Dosonun and William ‘T, H. Brooks for the pur- poso of defrauding him, Martin, ho having be- como tho ownor of the premisos by salo of tho United States Marshnl of the Northorn District of IMlinois undor 5 judgment agafnst Dosonun Brooks, obtained by him in the Unitod States Distriot Court for tho District of Wisconali. Tho causo was tried in Winnobago Ciroult Court, aud & decreo was entorod in favor of tho crose-bill, to raverso which nn appoal was taken to tho Suprome Court of Illinois, whoso opinion waa dolfverod by Justice Brooso. Dofendaut in orror ingistod thiat tho cortifionto of ovidence aid not givo all the ovidence, but tho Bupremo Court could not affivm the docree of tho court bolow for that reason, holding that, [ tho record does not contain all the ovidenco, it wos for dofondants in error to supply the omingions, This Courtcould ovly look to the record, Tho court bolow lind cortified the ovi- donce, thorofore, tho Court must look to the evidence as cortifled, and if it failed to sustain tho decreo, would not infor that the coutt bolow lieard obhor evidenco, Tho Court had carcfully examined the evidonee in the record to sustain the polut mado by tho dofendant in orror ae to fraudulent nssignmonts of the mortgages to the plaintiff in crvor. [Ioro the ovidenco was oxlinustivoly dissocted, and tne Court pro- coods]. ‘Tho Court failed fo find on the rocord any ovidonce on which {o rout the findings of tho Court bolow, Thoy wore facls, if they existod, capabio of proof, and the onus was upon the do- foudanis in orror. All tho tostimony going fo show tho oxistonos of such facls was for the mout part hearsay, and insuflicient ny grounds of adocren, The argument thnat plaintiff in ervor wna an officor iu tho sy, depending on bis pay, and, thoroforo, without funds for such an in- veetmeut, was not sound. o ontored the army a9 8 subaftarn in tho lato unhappy contliot, and como out of it a Brigedior-Goneral, and in- stauceos woro not wanting whore fortune has peeuniorily favored such., It might be, the money of Desonnn Brooks wns used to offect ell the x;ur%usms charged ; it might bo o con- joctured, but thora was mo proof, It was suflleient for plaintif in error to show prima facio that the mortgages were hia by proper as- mignmonts 3 this ho did by oxhibiting thom in court, assignod, for o ‘monoy considerntion. Goorgo Blanchnrd and othor native parties in tho transaction could hiave boon culled to tostify ns 10 the factn, and thelr teslimony might bo pufli- clont to dostroy the prima. facia caso. mado by plaintift in orror. ‘'hoy had not been called as ‘witnoases. The Court wag satisfled by o caroful oxamiuation of tho tostimony that there was nothing it it to projudice tho right of plaintiffin crror o tlo notes and mortgages, and that the findings of the docree_wore not sustained by the proof in the record, Disposing of this point dis- Posad of tha caso, and rondored the exsmination of other errors asmigned uunecessary. For the reasons givon, thie decree i8 roversod and the causo remanded, INTERESTING SHIPPING INSURANCE CABE, In Judgs Wood's room tho case of Portor & Fuiler v. Mechanics' aud Fraders’ Insurauce Com- pany was yosterday o trial. ‘This 8 an action Lm\lgh‘. by plaintiffa, who re fumbor morchants, to recovor for theloss of a cargo of lumbor which thoy had insured in defendant for &10,000. ‘The lumber, at the timo of its loss, was on the steam tug Dotroit, which was wrecked on the avout const of Lake Iuron, lato in tho month of Soptombor Inst. Tho plaintilfs first_appliod to Mr. Bruce, insurance agont, for a policy upon o cargo of lumbor on bourd 'the bLarge IHunter, which was to sail from Bay City, Michigan, to Chicago, ot that tine. ~ This upplica- tion " was maedo at about the close of busiuess hours on Spturday, the 28th of last Seplember; no premium was paid, but an informal cortificate of insurance was givon, Subgo- quently, during tho following Mondey, piaintifis askod dofoudants’ clerk to chango tho insurance by atriling out the word “ Hunter" and insert- fug that of tho steam-bargo * Dotroit.” On that uuK it becamo publicly known in the ety that both barges had ‘hoen lost on the previous Triday night, or on tho Saturdsy morning on wihich the application waa first made. 'Che plaintiffs claimed tho amount of insurance on tho pltered cortifieate, which was refused by do- fondants on varlous grounds, their chiof objection boing _that~ tho _nltoration wag not mede by the agont but by n elork in the ofice having na puthority to nct in the promiuos, and it wos suspectod that tho altora~ tion was cflected for plnintitfa aftor plaintiffs or their sgonts lLad received information of what had happonod. The protost upon which tho claim is basod, reciting tho circumstances and time of the loss, and which plaintiffs furnished to_defondunts, showed that the Captain of the *Dotroit” nnd hin moto hed mado sworn state- monts that tho voyage liad boguu on Friday, tho duy bofore the ficst application was 1ndo, whilo tho loss {ook plece at 2 u. m, Saturday, twolve hours aftor. This, thedpll\iulifl'u now claim, wags » mistako, Tho dofondants atlego that tho pol- foy-cortificato, when changad s0 83 fo apply . to tho “Datroit" instead of the *llun- ter,” was not countorsignod or anthorized by the gant, as ik expresaly stipulated in the cortificato ai a.8i0 qua non of gonuluonoss, and that, with- cut such countersigning or authority, the docu- mont i not binding as an agroomont to insura. This case, which will be read with interost by whippers, will probably be concluded to-morrow.

A spocial dispatch from Decatur, Ilt,, publish- od in yestorday'a 'Funuxz, contained an account of tho alleged polsoning of six porsons by & s, York, who ndmitted on hor donth-bod thnt sho killed thom. Tho tologram stated tha in Boptomber laat A. W.

Louis for examination, but for somo unexplained renson the contents woro never analyzed. At the timo of Mr. Drake's doath big mother-in-law, Mrs, York, was kooplug houso for him, The dispatch furthor stated that Mra. York was talien violently ill at tho rosidonco of hor son iu Kansss, and, boing nssurod that sho could 1ivh but a fow hours, mado a confos- sion, tho substauco of which wos that she had polzoned hur husband in - 1865, Mra.

Bho was very old—at loaas 72—and’ childish. Whila on o vielt to frionds in Minnesots, in tha yoar mentioned, it was discovered that hor mind was unsound, and her son, who lives ot Proscott, took such good coro of her that sho apparontly vecovercd, and o fow yeara aftorwards went to live with A, W.
