———_—e WMPORTAN? ANTI-RENT TRIAL. United States District Court. Before the Hom. Judge Nelsen. Aras. 19.—James Schott, Junr., and Margaret his Wife, ©. Neal Benwen.—T+ eviience in the anti-rent cause, @hich has beom progressing for several days past in this @ourt, was closed yesterday. The counsel for the de- fendant declined summing up the cause, and it was given to the jury under the charge of the Court. It iss case of considerable importance. The plaintiff (Mrs. Schott) sia © daughter of the late Commodore Ridgely, of the Waited States Navy, mde granddaughter of the late Chazooller Livingston. She deduces her title through this channel from the eolonial government, the patent Ibaving been granted in the reign of Queen Anne. The ‘anti renters seek to demolish this title, and set up» vari- ty of claims to the lands in question, which lie in Sulli- van county. The particulars are given in the charge of the Court to the jury, which is as follows :— TUE JUDGE'S CHARGE. Gentlemen of the Jury—The plaintiffs in the case claim » pert of lot No. 4 in the Hardenburgh patent, lying in the tewn of Nevisink, Sullivan county. The title to the Jet is derived from the Livingston family, who became Jarge owners in that patent at a very early day. This patent was granted on the 20th April, 1708, and was bounded on the eastward by several other patents that had been previously granted—the Kingstowa patent, Berley, Marbletown, and the Rochester patent. Parti- tion of the Hardenburgh patent or track was made among the several proprivtors in 1749, and lot No. 4, partof whick is in dispute in this case, was set off to two of them Bobert Livingstosjand Gulian Verplanck; and theflatter, in, December {pliowing, released his interest to Livingston @rho thus became the sole owner. This title—that is,ithe Livingstem title—came down through his ancestors to Rebert R. Livingston, a former distinguished Chancellor of ‘this State, by the death of his father in 1775 or "76, Robert RB Livingston, therefore, the owner of this lot, and former Chancellor of the State, was the owner of it, as you will Presently see, at the time of the settlement of the dis- puted line in question. The plaintiffs, upon this record, Cerive their title through him, and thus they make out aheig claim to the premises in dispute. A patent or charter was granted to the town of Rochester, for the lands im that town, on the 25th June, 1103. It was granted to Henry Beekman, Joakim Schoonmaker, Moses De Puy, their heirs and assigns, in trust, for themsolves and all the freeholders and inhabitants of the town. The Doundaries of this patent er charter, so fur as they are Material in the case, ran from the said hills or sand burghs, which was what may be called, I suppose, the mouthwest corner of that tract, ‘ thence,”’ in the words of the patent, ‘with a northwest line to the great moun- teins, commonly called the Blue Hills, thence northeast, f@oniething northerly along said bills to the bounds Of Marbletown.” This is the boundary in dispute. hese trustees were, by the charter, to be elected an- ually, and bad power to manage, sell, and dispose of the lands granted by and with the advice of two principal free holders and inhabitants as should be most fit and convenient. These were among the powers conferred upon the trustees inthe charter. The defendant in this ease claims under the trustees of this town, deriving title, therefor, under the town of Rochester. The Hardenburg patent, as you will recollect, was bounded by ita easterly lne on this Rochester patent, among others, and was granted in 1705, tive years after the grant to the tows cf Rochester. ‘The Rochester graat extended back tothe great mountains called the Blue and thence northeasterly sloug the sald hills to wm. The boundary between the two tracks was thus, as you will see, left open, undo- fined, very ‘naturally became the subject of Gispute and of controversy between the respective i of the two tracts, and thus it con- tinued down to 1776, a period of nearly seventy years, In 1776, on the 2i:t of June, an agreement was entered into between a portion of the propristors of the Harden- burg — and the trustees of the town of Rochester, Hothoneerpparee igen of this Te It is very partic: speciic, and appears to haye been Getermined upon and to have been drawn up with great @eliberation and care. It recites that disputes had ex- isted for a time Levenger to the great preju e parties an e public in general —— the true bounds of the town of Rochester; that the freeBolders and inhabitants of the town, at the Sanual meeting for the election of trustees, on the 4th of June, 1776, sppointed Benjamin Horn Hendrick Hornbeck, and Johannes Osterhout, jr.,a committee to joim and consult with Colonel Jacob Hornbeck, Dr. An- De Witt, and Captain J. Schoonmaker, the then trustees, to treat with the owners of the Hardenburg Patent, in order to settle the boundaries of the town: ebip; and that, after several meetings at the house of Benjamin Hornbeck, one of the freeholders, and duly Considering the claims of the respective parties, it was ly sgreed and set forth. The boun- Gary then agreed upon is described with great par- tisularity, giving monuments, courses, and corners, all ponies ‘Out and specified in this agreement as the settled boundary. Among other things it contains four Feeervations of tracts of land, which had been previously Conveyed by the trustees of Rochester to third persons, bu; ‘which fell within the Hardenburg tractg according to the ine which they had agreed upon. These four tracts, which had thus been previously conveyed, and which fell within the Hardenburg tract, are reserved to the owners @s partof the _ and adjustment of this contro- verted boundary. The agreement then provides, that the line sball be run out upon the ground as described therein, and monuments erected to perpetuate it, and that the par- ‘ties shall mutually release to each other upen either side of this line after it has been surveyed and established. This e@greewent is traced in the hands of the family of one of the parties claiming under the Hardenburg patent as | far back as 1809. It wa: received from John unter, who | married the daughter of James De Brosses, the nephew of Elias, who was one of the origina! parties to the instrument and who succeeded to his estate. It is anancient paper and the execution of it to> remote to be bject of the usual proof of an instrument of that description ; and for that | Feason such proof is not exacted by. the law. The place where a paper of this description has been found, if at such & piace as would naturally be expected, provided it was | Genuine, together with evidence of acts done and of rights | claimed it. furnish the usual proof of its geruine- mess. A field-book is line‘thus Thi: eeu ing the corners, marked trees, and other monw upon the ground, the courses and the distances, and is under the date of the same year, November, 1776. The surveyors were William Cockburn and John ‘Wagram, who had been, as ix recited in the decd. of’ settlemont, agreed upon’ by both of the parties to run out the line. Itix alsoan ancient re. Cord, and bears marks of the exactness and care with which transactions of this description and magnitude were performed in those early times. It contains a particular and detailed account of all the expenses of the surrey, grin the names of the persons who wero engazed in t duty—the number of days in which the chain bear. rs, fig bearers and axe men served in running out the line. All this is at the close of the field book. The e: penses are footed up, divided, and the amount divided Equally between the two parties, and contains » receipt by the Surveyor, Cockbnrn, given to the trustees Cf Rochester for the payment of their portion of the ex- penses. This field book is also found in the hands of the Proprietors of the Hardeuburg tract, as one of the muni- mente of their title. In addition to this, a counterpart of Suis book has been produced, taken from among the rpcords ‘of the town of Rochester, in all respects corresponding | with the one in the hands of the other parties,and in the | game handwriting—chiefly in the handwritingof Mr.Cock- burn, the surveyer. Two field books seem to have been made by ‘the surveyor, one foreach of the respective par- ‘ties, and one of them we find in the hands of the proprietors of the Hardenburg tract, and the other among the records of the town of Rochester, each, as isfairly to be Presumed, in their possession, as a part of the muai- ments of the title of their respective tracts. Then, we Ihave a deed of mutual releases signed by both parties, according to the stipulations contained in the previous agreement which they had entered into. It is under Gate the 13th February, 1778, and describes the lines, a3 | previously settled in the agreement of 1776, and as sur- eyed and marked oat by the two surveyors, giving the ground lines as mar! and has attached to it a map Ofthe line, and which map is referred to in the body of the instroment. The deed was proved by Cockburn, the + who was a subscribing witness to it before one Or the Judges of the Common Pleas of Ulster county, on fhe 17th February, 1778, four days after its execution. ‘The proof and the acknowledgment, I think. according to iy recollection, is in strict conformity with the law as At existed in this State in 1778. Mr. Jordan—Does your Honor understand that Cook- Dbnrn was a witners to the execution by all the parties ? Juage Nelron—A: to my recollection of it, Skis mutusl release by the proprietors of the Harden- Burg patent upon .one side, and the trustees of the Rochester patent upon the other, is traced back into the family of one of the proprietors’ of the Hardenbarg pa- tent some forty years, as among the munimenta of their title to lands in that tract; and the counterpart of this Geed is also juced—found among the records of the town of ster—corresponding in all parts and in every particular, and is fairly pcoaounced to have bean laced, and sag there as one of the muniments of their Bitte upon their side of this boundary.

This deed of autual release is not signed by Colonel Jacob Hornbeck, one Of the trustees, and on that acconn; it sesma to have suppored heretofore that the deed was void, as the ‘two trustees who signed it were not competent to act in the matter. It is very provable that this apprehension on the part of the authorities of the town of Rochester en 1 aggro after the lapse of such » length of time, h may have been honost, that it was signed pout by two out of three living trustees—has been the evigin of this unfortunate controversy; for, if it had known or believed that the setflement deed had all the trustees who were compe- the line, and confirm it by deeds of credible that if thin had been have su i if fore, te this recor pad Fe he ES Contains the births and the deaths of his brothers and sisters.

This a observe. is eight days after the date of this deed, which was the 13th. contains afrecord of the appointment of Joseph Hasbrook, Lieutenant Colonel of the militis of the county ef Ulster, vice Jacob Hornbeck, The third piece of evidence isa minute in the book of records of the town of Rochester, under the date of the 10th of April, 1778. Itis the old book of records produced here, which states that Andrew Dewitt and Joachim Schoonmaker, the two surviving trustees, had examined the books and papers of the trus- tees of the widow of Col. Jacob Hornbeck, and then they gave a detailed list of the accounts of the town. This was a little short of two months after the date of the deed; The fourth piece of testimony isa deed, dated Feb. 1, 1779, from Andrew Dewitt, one of the late trustees, of Roches- ter, and survivor of Jacob Hornbeck, deceased, to the suc- ceeding trustees of the town. wss about a year after the execution of the settlement deed. The fifth item of evidence is an indorsement on the back of the field book, in the handwriting of Cockburn, the surveyor, containing a memorandum, that the deed of settlement was made on the 13th of February, 1778, by Andrew Do- witt, and Joachim Schoonmaker, the present trustees, (Cel. James Hornbeek having died in January), stating the names of theother parties to the deed. This is the evidence that has been furnished on the part of the plaintiff, to account for the non-execution of the set- tlement deed by one of the trustees, Jacob Hornbeck, and showing, or tending to show, that he died previously to the execution, The whole evidence is competent for the purpose of proving the fact, and of the death of the trustee, the time when it took place; and don’t reool- lect that we have any evidence upon this branch of the case tending to disprove it. It way an event that oc- curred some seventy-five years ago. No living witness who was of” sufficient age'at that time can be expected atthis remote day to be produced to testify in rela- tion to the fact from personal knowledge. All the parties who participated in that transaction and there fore had a knowledge of this event, with the other cir- cumstances connected with it; and all the persons living at the time, whe may have had such know- ledge, though not’ participating, have passed away ; and we are obliged to rely upon the records and me- morials of the transactions of that day thet are lett to us, in relation to this unfortunate controversy. ‘These are the highest evidences that can be exacted of any of the events or of any of the facts connected with “this subject. The records to be found in ancient family Biblesfusually furnish the most satisfactory evidence of the births and the deaths of members of a family. They are like monumental inscriptions, which furnish a like evidence, as they are made in both instances, usual- ly by, or under the direction of the members of the fami- ly, and under circumstances where the truth may be ex- pected andreliedon. Then, in relation to the memorandum made by Mr. Cockburn, endorsed upon the back of the field book. It is also evidence not only competent as tending to prove the fact of the death of Hornbeck at that time, but, under the circumstances, eatitled to very considerable weight and influence. He was one of the Persons, it seems, selected by both of these parties to run out the line, and establish it, and assist in carrying iato effect the agreement of 2lst June, 1776 The settlement deed, I think, was in the handwriting of Wagram, hisasso- ciate. It was witnessed by Cockburn, and proved by him; and aecording to the memorandum upon it, was recorded in the clerk’s office at hix request. He was, therefore, as well as Wagram, the agent of both of these parties in the transaction, acting for and on behalf of the parties, The record, therefore, made by him under these circum- stances, is net simply that of a third person unconnected with the transaction, but by a person in some re- specta representing the parties themselves, and in that aspect, although not the same, yet in some respects re- sembling the record or’ minute made by the parties. So much, gentlemen, for the testimony respect to the death of Colonel Jacob Hornbeck, as bearing upon the legal effect to be givem to this aeed of eettlement. Then it is objected that the two assistant freeholders cho- sen .at the preceding annual town meeting did not sign this deed. The charter, as you will recol- lect, conferred the power upon the trustees to sell’ and dispose of the lands within the town, andto manage the same with the advice of two free- holders and inhabitants of the town. Now, it is said that those two frecholders thus contem ated in the charter e disposition or management preperty by the trustees, did not join’ in this conveyauce,” and therefore it is a power not properly executed, and that the deed is inoperative and void. The an- swer given to this objection is:—the agreement of settlement of June 21, 1876, recites that three free- holders were elected by the town on the 4th of June. of the same month, specially to assist the trustees in the settlement of this line, and the names are given: Benja. min Hornbeck, Hendrick Hornbeck, and Johannes Ousterout, Jr.’ Two of them signed the settlement of agreement with the trustees, and all three joined in the deed of settiement, showing, there fere, in this instance, # very special ’ obsery- ance of this part of the charter. No doubt this seecial appointiment of the three asa committee—to as- sist and advise the trustees—wes made in consequence of the importance of the proceeding, and great interest | taken in the amicable settlement of this long disputed line of the township; which, the agreement recites, was not only injurious to the rights of individuals, but to the public in ‘general. Thia, I believe, gentlemen, closes all the testimony, so far as regards the’ agree- ment of 1776, and the deed of settlement of 1778. As bearing upon these proceedings generally, and also upon the settlement line, the plaintifis have given in evidence deeds of hand exeented by the trustees of the town sub- sequently, and in which is recognized, and in a measure adopted, the line as settled. There is a deed from the trustees to Richard Broadbead, under date 24 June, 1787. The premises lie upon the south east sido of the settle- ment line, within the Rochester tract, running up to the line and the lot bounded upon the same. This bout nine years after the line was fixed. so a deed from the trustees to Chris:opher , 2ist June, 1784. It appears from the recitals in this deed, that it was given forjland which the trus- tees of the’ town had previously conveyed to Kirstead, ard which he had lost in consequence of the lot having fallen within the WHardenburg patent, according to the line as settled. He hi lost the title upon the settiement of the line, as it was not one of the four pieces which had been previously conveyed by the town of Rochkster. that had beeen reserved in the adjustment and settlement of the line. This was about years after the settlement deeds, aad affords a pretty trong reevgnition, atfthat time, by these trustees, of heir sense of the validity and force of the line a+ thus ettled. They conceded virtually that the title which the: had previously conveyed to Kierstead having fal- len into the Hardenberg track, upon the settle ment of the line was lost, and that they were ac- countable to him for the land, andas an equivalent they conveyed to him a lot within the acknowledged bounds of the town of Rochester. A map is also produced from the records _of the town of Rochester, purporting to hhave been made by John L. {Hardenburg, a surveyor for the trustees, as a survey of the Rondeut Kill, from acer- tain fall ealied Hunk, up to the division line between the township of Rochester and the great patent. The division line is marked upom the map. *This wat in November, 1786, some eight years only after the settlement of the line. This evidence is given for the purpose of showing that the authorities of Rochester had recognized and acquiesced in the line, according to their subsequent conveyances, and in their suryeys made within the bounds of the township; that the trustees sueceeding to those who participated im the set tlement of the line had admitted it, and acted upon it as the boundary line between the Har- Genburg patent and their town. It is also to be ob- served, that the posression of both of the parties, as far as that possession has been taken by them upon’ either side of this bourdary. has been in accordance with the line thus fixed. At that early day it was farin the wild erness. But few rettlements, of eourse, could be found along the line, or in that part of the country; but so far asthey were taken, and especially upon the Rochester side of the line, which wan settled to = greater ex tent than the territory on the opposite ‘rida, they were in conformity with it. Taxes nave been paid by the proprietors of the Hardenburg patent, from that day down to this, according to the witnesses. regarding that line as its boundary. Now, gentlemen, the question in whether or not this masa of evidence thus farnished on the part cf the plaintiff, in the progress of the trial, as bearing upon thin’ disputed line betwaen the ‘parties, is entitled to credit. If it ix, then there is no serious question of fact in the case. If you believe that this agreement of 1776 was entered into between the proprietors, or a portion of them, of the Hardenburg patent and the trustees and their associates of the town of Rochester, for the purpose of adjusting this dispute upon the terms and corditions therein de- seribed; that in purauance of that agreement these parties procured a survey of the boundary, in accordance with their agreement, marking » ground line, extending the whole length of ‘it between this town and the Harden- burg proprietors; and that mutual deeds of release were executed and delivered, with the maps of the line at- tached to the respective parts, in execution of this de. sign, to make an amicable adjustment of the difficulty —if you believe all this from the records and the evi dence that have been furniabed before you, and that this deed was executed by the only surviving trustee at the time, then, I am bound to instruct you as matter of Jaw that the parties are bound by it, and the line cannot be disturbed by either of them at thiv day: This uestion covers the whole controversy in this suit. ix issues have been presented to the Court, bat they are all embraced, and will all be dixposed of by @ desision of this question, #0 far as is material for the parposes of this suit, Certainly these iswues never came before me. They are most of them a repetition amplifying the same idea in different forms of language, but differing searcely in substance or in legal effect. i have, therefore, chosen to limit the question in the case to the one that is controlliny rasit regards the matter in dispute here. It certainly is unfortunate that this controversy should have arisen at so remote » riod from the time when the transaction occurred. fe are engaged at the end of seventy-five years, in in- quiring Jom 6 matter, yoy if Sor in en Pf either of the partion, as obliga eg o the grounds stated. shonld have in s pre. view when there were li witmesses of the facts involved, and when the facta now relied w; for the purpose of invalidating 40 solema ® transqotion ing, gentlemen, in relation to thia controversy: ‘The complaint Gow is that, in the settlement of the lice, the town of Rochester has been the sufferer, and that too much land was coneeded to the Hardenburgh patentesa ‘and that in point of fact the true boundary of the Rochester charter ex tends southwest beyond that boundary, which would ,000 and odd acres, This 18 the complaint at this day, after the lapse of three-quarters of a century. i had been any foundation for these cot- plaints existing at the period of the settlement, it was, of course, the duty of the town authorities at that period, to have called in question the validity of the line, and to have instituted proceedings, aa they might have done, for the purpose of avoiding it.

Both parties were addicted to habits of intempe- rance:—Last Saturday, it appears, the wife being abroad on one of her drunken rambles, the husband went in pur- suit of her, to bring her home, having a rope in his hand. Before setting out, however, he had procured half a pint of gim from a woman in the neighborhood, on cre- dit, a0 drank it. Having got his wife home, about sight o'clock, he threw her upon her bed, com- pelling the oldest daughter to hold her mother, he tied the hands and feet of the latter together with cords, then tied her to the back bed posts with cords, proceed: ing from the hands and the feet. He also passed a rope around her body, thus securing her more firmly. Meanwhile he quieted her by telling her that if she would let him tie her he would give her some liquor. made her fast, he went into the shed, and returned, bringing, in some vessel, a quantity of some liquid, tell: ing hie wife that he would now give her a sup of liquor. He then attempted toge: the oldest daughter to adminis- ter the liquid to her mother, but she mistrusting wrong, firmly refused. Having stripped the woman of all her clothes except her chemise, and having pulled that off from her neck and shoulders and torn it open in front, he proceeded to turn the liquid which he had brought from the shed, down her throat. It appears as though he was aware that the liquid would stain and disevlor any article of clothing, but was ignorant of the fact that it would stain the kin. The liquid given the woman appears and is supposed to have been sulphuric acid. On having this stuff turned down her throat, the poor woman struggled, and showed signs of nausea.’ She was too strongly confined with the cords, however, to free herself. or to do anything for her relief.

About twelve'o’clock, accord- ing to the account of the girls, he gave his wife another quantity of liquid in a cup. This he called “taa.” It is judged to have been a quantity of the acid dilated. The dying woman continued to moan until about three o'clock on Sunday morning, when, as the daughters state, the noise of her plaints ceased. It is probable that death occurred at this point of time. The husband unbound his wife, mripped tho chemise off, and put ona clean one. He then fled, The daughters went to the house of B. F Winslow, Esq., and told him that their mother lay dead in the house, haying been murdered by their father. This was early on Sunday morning. Mr. Winslow, on going to the house, found the woman dead and in the po- sition already described. The spectacle presented was a horrid one. There rasa column of froth from the mouth ahout an inch high; and the aides of the chia, neck and breast, were furrowed with rills of the liquid, which bad marked its course over these parts, with crooked, black lines.” AnoruER Victim—Tue Rarrers’ Denvsion.-- ‘We have seen, within two or three days, in'our exchange papers, notices of the insanity of no loss than seven per- sons in different places about tthe country, caused, in each case, by the stupid fooleries of “spiritualism.” Some of thern were persons of rtanding and influence, whose fall is greatly lamented. “Spiritualism” and “‘camphene’’ are nuirances that should be banished.
