Chancellor M’Coun. J — William W. Holly and wife, vs. John —This was an application in relation to the estate of John J. Glover, deceased, from which the sum of $655,600 26 has already been re- alized by the executors, and the income for several years after his death, was from $25,000 to $23,000 perannum. Glover died, we believe, in 182, leay- ing his sons, John Glovér and Samuel Glover, his executors. He had a large family, of which Mrs. Holle C. Cambreling, 4 I. Eastburn, Mrs. } Mrs. Ludlow idwards, formed a portion. In July, 1839, the estate being still unsettled, the subject was referred by the Vice Chancellor, with the consent of parties, to a master in chancery (Mr. C. W. Moore). The executors were directed to pass over all the bonds, mortgages, or any other property belonging to the estate in theit hands, to Mr. Thomas Glover, who was to make a report to the master as to the situation of the estate, the sums owing by it, and the outstanding assets— also thathe make a statement of the allotments to the heirs, &c., and that the matter be passed upon by the master. ‘This task was performed, and Mr. Thos, Glover claimed that it should be final, aver- ring thatthe master was bound to receive it, power being given similar to that of a board of arbitrators. Exceptions were made to the report, the plaintiffy denying that it should be considered in the light of an award, ‘The master allowed the report of allot- ment to be final, and the subject is now bronght to this Court for it3 views on that point. The Vice Chancellor, in giving his decision, stated that the order of ’39 did not confer power to make a final award, but that the aceount should be submitted to the master and finally be presented for approval to this court. Still the vecount and the allotment should be looked upon as ths act of an authorised agent, and, prima facte, be -onsidered correct. ‘The partiesinterested can have iberty to file objections to such y as may be considered otherwise, and the master procee: amine witnesses and pass upon the particular ebjec- tions, but the report and allotment cannot be set wide en masse. The burthen of proof must be thrown upon those making the exceptions. With this view of the case the subject was referred back to the Master for further action.

The occasion was too grave, and the argu- t¥ of the Counsel in enforcing and resisting the plication le and elaborate, to adrmt of hur- dexam An appli Cirenit Judge, under the pro Revised Statutes, directin: “proceedings to compel the delivery of Books anc sapers by public olticers to their successors,” to commit to prison Alfred A.

And, while such is the view, with which Tthink the whole community shall re card the Supreme Court, more especially do I consi- der it required of the Circuit Judge, who is a subor- dinate oilicer, of all others the most amenable to its thority,and the most bound to obey and execute its decisions. ee y What is an office? It is defined to be a right to exercise a public function or employment in which the people have an interest. If there were any rule or principle which restri as applicable to the prov I st tutes, I find special directions in those laws which m_nnequivecally to declare the Comptroller to be officer within their meaning. 4 iu The provisions, therefore, on which this applica- tion is founded, do, in my opinion, embrace the office of Comptroller of the city of New York. 2d. But itwas argued, with great force, that those enactments for compelling the delivery of books and papers are not applicable to the present case, when i appears, as was contended, that Mr. Smith is the officer de facto, while Mr. Williamson is, at most, only the officer de jure. ) In one construction of the statute, Lagree with the Counsel for the respondent. i The Statute compels only the delivery of “books and papers.’ The words occur very frequently in the six sections of Article 5th, but never with any ns, or variations of pormscolosy, which au- the compulsory delivery of any une but ** books and papers.” ‘I agree moreover with the counse! on both sides that the Circuit Judge was never intended by this Statute to be invested with the poner of trying the title to office. The old and well known proceedings by Quo warranto and Man- damus, the peculiay and appropriate modes of de- terming the right to office, are ognized, pre- served and regulated by the Statutes, and itis by the regular tribunals of general jurisdiction that the processes under these writs are to be con. ducted. fs is 2 GWith the right to try title, then,I am not invested, and must look, as1do on this application, to the prima facie title only. ‘This is conceded, and indeed it wasalso conceded by the Counsel that I can not compel the delivery of any public property, other than books and heparan the insignia of office like the seal—nor the office itself, meaning now by the term the “ local habitation” of the removed offi- cer, which is frequently appointed by law. These deficiencies may be undesigned, but are apparent, and irremediable defects in the statute; and hence, I was struck on the argument bythe force of the re- mark, that while his ye may be delivered, the padlic rooms occupied by Mr Smith, can not be de- ivered over in possession to Mr. Williamson; nor can any application be made to the Circuit Judge affecting those subordinate officers of the Common Council—such as watchmen for example—who hold property of the Corporation indeed, but not “ books or papers. I cannot compel the Treasnrer of the city to deliver over money. The process pointed out by the statute is not ‘an ejectment, nor a writ of replevin to take property, but strictly limited to the objects,designated. ‘The absence of further powers may be regretted, but they are certainly absurd, But in the most important point I do not agree with the counsel of the respondent: or rather in the case before me { consider, under the decision of the Supreme Court, Mr. Williamson as the officer de facto. And it appears to me to be the case, coming within the 55th section, providing “ wheneyer any person shall be removed from office, he shall on de- mand deliver over to his successor all the books and pazersin his custedy as such officer.” Who the officer de jure is I have not the right to inquire. 1 look only to the ostensible title. T regard the statute as a remedial statute—not re- stricted, as counsel contend, to the case, when a on having folly entered into his office—even the ocality provided for the transaction of his business —linds some or all of his papers or books taken away by his predecessor. The statute makes a sneral application of its provisions, Tecan rot the article, which is prefixed in the sta- h the title—‘‘proceedings to compel the delive- ry of books or popers by Public Officers to their suce cessor Under such considerations, a warrant must be granted, aftera preliminary inquiry shall be had be- fore me. ‘The necessity of which was conceded by the counsel, who opened the argument for the claim- ant, and in fixing a day for this inquiry I have en- deavored to adapt the performance of duty to the ex- isting circumstances of the case. e The Statute, in directing a warrant for commit- meat to prison, does not clearly point out the mode of discharge of the prisoner; and to obviate what might be a serious evil, it was admitted that the warrant shall designate the books and papers which are withheld, and shall be delivered. | ‘The petition before me is entirely indefimte, and itis suggested bythe counsel for the claimant that the parties shall attend before me, and an enquiry be had of what books and papers delivery shall be compelled. : In fixing this day, I have considered the fact that the Supreme Court has by order stayed the proceed- ings on the Mandamus, and the ease on the Man- damus will pity owg tl be argued within a few days before the Court for the Correction of Errors. appoint the day for thisenguiry a fortnight hence, by which day we may hope for the decision of the Court of Appeal, If it affirms the decision of the Supreme Court, the warrant will then enforce im- madiate obedience to its decision; while if the decision of the Supreme Court shall be reversed, the asis on which this opinion rests will be tuken away. _ [have appointed this day afier careful considera- tion, not only because the imprisonment of Alfred . Smith seemsa harsh proceeding, when the final ijustment of the great question is so immediate) at hand, but also, because if he were imprisoned, and his papers forcibly delivered to Donuw D. Wil- liameson, the Conrt of final resort shall declare the decision of the Supreme Court incorrect, there is ne process in the Statute by which his papers could be compulsorily re-delivered. Tam enabled also by this adjonrament to be temporarily absent from the city on urgent private business. which should indeed yield to public business, did I not believe the appointment of the day designated was dictated by a disereet exercise of the appointing power.

Tofpresent earnest of hisengagement, he deposited with defendant on behalf of Mr. V., to be forfeited in case of non- compliance on his part, the sam of $250. Subse- quently the stock fell. Mr. Hamilton concluded not to ratify his “bargain,” and demanded his mo- ney back, but it was refused, and the action now brought for its recovery. The plea is that neither Mr. Vanpell nor Mr. Carpender owned any stock in the Long Island Railroad Company on the 19th Fe- i pell to purchase bruary, the day the time purchase ‘was made, and therefore the transaction was notlegal. Mr. Ives, Secretary of the company, showed that such was the fact, but that they held shares on the 28th. ‘The Court charged that the transaction was not legal,and the jary fottad « verdict for plaintulf of $254 85c.

Beach, Esq., one of the Sun reporters, was yesterday assaulted by James M. Buchpnan, Esq., a gen- tleman ofthe Baltimore bar, when about entering the door of the Court House. ‘The assailing party first used acane, with which he struck his antegonist a blow on the head. He then drew a pistol and presented at Mr. Beach. A crowd of bystanders immediately interfered and the par- ties were separated without the spilling of blood. ‘The provocation alleged by Mr. Buchanan, was an article written by the reporter and published under the head of City Court reports, wherein he conceived he had been uu- justly assailed. It is not for me to take sides and say which was to blame. Lawyers, however, should remem- ber that witnesses have sometimes to suffer at their hands, ‘To be consistent therefore they ought to be willing to give and take. Reporters, too, may make a mistep and say what they did not intend as evil, My advice would be to drop the subject, make friends and [et the affair rest among the rubbish of past follies. ‘The parties were cited by the State's Attorney to appear before Court and held to bail in the sum of $500 each to keep the peace.

A fire occurred last night which destroyed entirely the brewery of Mr. Brantz, on Camden street. In the commercial world there is not much change nor is there much doing.

RODERICK. Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald.] Pumavetran, June 15, 1842. War of Extermination against the Brokers—Moya- mensing Bank handsomely shaved—Wine Sale— %Slave Case—Acquittal of Blaney—Absquatulation, ge. Tam informed to-day that a bill has been reported to the legislature of this State, laying a tax of two thousand dol- lars per annum upon all persons engaged in the brokerage business. The object, it is understood, is to break up the business, under the fallacious idea of the Solons in the councils of the State that the,brokers are the sole cause of the depreciation of Relief” and other irredeemable notes, Some of these legislators, to my personal knowledge, are under the impression that the whole amount of discoun; on country bank paper is broker's profit. With such stu- pidity itis usciess to reason, If the legislature would like ‘onntry bank paper to pass at par, let it require the iesners of it to respect the promise which it bears on its face, The Moyamensing Bank, which, in order to avoid the taking of ifs own paper in payment of debts to it, bills receivable over to the specie paying banks ofour city for collection, was handsomely caught a day or two since. A person who had a note to pay called before it was due for the purpose of taking it up. ‘The clerk at first said the bank hadn’t it, but én seeing in the payer's hand several notes of our specie paying banks, requested him to wait until he made more particular inquiry of the cashiers, He did so, and in afew minutes returned with the note in his hand, which he handed-to the drawer of it, and took in exchange his roll of bills, The clerk soon saw that with the exception ofa trifling amount, the whole sum ($3,400) was of their own depreciated paper, and was about handing it back, when he discovered that the owner of the note hed already torn his name off of it, and was quite willing to exchange back. It was a well played wick, and richly merited. The conduct of some of our suspended banks would disgrace a common pickpocket. The balance of the superior wines belonging to the estate of the late John Vaughan, sold to-day at areduction in price of about sixty per cent on the former sale of simi lar wines in November last—and some of them at a redue- tion of five hundred per cent on their cost—the joint fruit of temperance and the hard times. Proceedings have been instituted before Recorder Vaux, against Alderman Binns, for a misdemeanor in office, based upon the allegation that he did not keep a copy of the warrant issued by him forthe arrest of Mary Lowden, the colored woman who was taken from this city three weeks azo, an alleged slave ; and also against Constable Crawford for failing to execute the requisitions ofthe war- rant. These proceedings have been brought at the i stance of the Abolition Society of this city—Thomas Farle, Eeq., the late abotition candidate for Vice-President, acting as their counsel. # The Jury, inthe case of late High Co Blaney, came into Court this morning with a verdict of not guilty.
