Taylor and Dr. Morrell, and corroborated what Mrs. Gen. Taylor said in reiation to it. Dr Walker. tbe superintendent of the Insane | asylum at Boston, made a voluntary state- tent before the committee in regard to Dr. Nicho!s’ efficiency as a saperintendeni, and to bis bigh standing in the association of tn- | sane asylum superintendents, of which he | is the president and witness vice president. Did not think that Dr. Nichols would allow any of bis subordinates to abnse the patients.

In the Police Court yesterday Orlando Evans. colored, and Augustas Kappers and | | J.G. Safieid, white men, were stood up on | the charge assauit and battery on James F. Hogan, who resides at 412 A street soath- east. This charge grew out of a dispute about So poetics of @ sewing machine Know as the Remington. The facts as de- veloped in the testimeny were that the | Sgent for this machine employs canvassers for their sale, and one of these induced Mrs. _ Hogan, wife of complainant, to parchase one for $75, payments tobe made in $5 instal- tents permonth. Afver the delivery of the machine about a year ago the agent called house of Mr. H. during the absence of procured the signature of Mrs. | which was that in case of failure on her part | to make the anyhoo reguiariy, the agent could enter the premises of complainant at | bis will and take the machine away. This contract was entered without the know- ledge or consent of Mr. He » and it is more than probable it Mrs. H. herself did rot fally understand the case. Soon after this, along came a young man representing that he had been sent by the agent to give instructions to Mrs. H. in the — art of working the machine, as per contract. | One dey this nice young man, in the dis- | charge of the trust, attempted improper llb- erties with bis pupil, as testified to, and she being highly indignant raised a tumult and | weet for bis scalp, which caused the gay and festive man to leave suddenly. Months then | passed by, during which no one calied for | payments. On the 26th uit. the defendants went to Mrs. Hogan's house and demanded the machine, which was deuied them. They | entered the house to take forcible possession and @ scrimmage ensued, ending in aa un- ceremonious ejectment of the defendants, and to ensure future peace Mr. H. started for ® policeman. During his absence the parties returned to the house and broke in a window and were endeavoring to get the machine through it when Mr. H_ resurned and hostilities were resumed during watch coats were pulled off and blows passed. F Pind- ing they could do no better, defendants broke | the top part from the stand and escaped, leaving the rupning gear behind. For de- fense, the contract was put in evidence, but the judge ruled it out. remarking that it had been signed by Mrs. H. without the knowl- edge or consent of her iusband; that a wife | has no right to sign away the husbana’s privilege of defending his own castle and property. A man's house is his castle, and be has a right to defend it against any such invasion as this, and do it vigorously.
