A FaitHiess Spovse.—A few weeks since, infor- mation was lodged with Mayor Gilpin, that # certain Hepry Harrison Vacey, an Koghshman by birth, aad @ house painter by profession, had left Brooklyn, taking with him the wife of a cougtryman of his own, named Jobn Powell, and $425 besides, belongiag to the u jured husband. From the circumstance that a letter directed to Vasey was received at the Post- office in this city, it was believed the fugitives would nunke their way hither, and @ watch was acsording- ly set ut the window of the Postoffice. Yesterday afternoon, the couple made aplication for w letrer for Mr. Vasey; the clerk gave the hint to oflver Mar- vi and the pair were immediately conveyed to the M-yor's office, where $200 of the plunder was foaud upon Vasey. A few months since, Mr. Powell weut to Englaud at the earnest solicitation of his wife, to biing @ sisterof her own to this country. It is thought the plan for the elopement was arranged during the ab ence of Mr. Powell. The parties were committed in deianlt of $1,000 each, to await the ac- tion ef the New York authorities.

Important to Tax SUPRMME COURT—SPHUIAL THBM. adge It. Before Hon. J Roosevelt JuLy 26—William Samue Johnson vs. The Supervisors of New York and the Supervisors of Cattaraugus, §c—Mr. Johnson, the plain- tiff, bas two lences—one in New York, the other in Cattaraugus. He has been taxed fur his nal properey in both. The law ssys that for all personal estate, wherever situated, owned by @ party, he shall be taxed in the town or ward where he resides. (1 8.8. 389.) And the question now preseniad is, which of Mr. Johnson's two residences, the sevse of this statute, is the proper place of taxation—it being conceded that he cannot legall be assessed in both. The Supervisors, the local tr burals in such matters, taking opposite views of the law, have in each case decided against him. Those of New York insist on their claim, and those of Cat- taraugus refuse to relinquish. Iu thisdelimma, Mr. Jobnson, 98 was done in Thomson vs. Ebbetts, [1 Hop- kin’s Chancery Report. 272,] files his bill of inter- pleader, praying that he may be allowed to pay the amount into Court, and be discharged, leaving the two rival claimants to litigate between themselves. To this bill the Corporation counsel demura, ia- sisting that Mr. Johnsor should either determine for himself which of the two counties is in the right, and pay that and resist the other; or, if doubtful, set both at defiance, and leave the rightful claimant to es- tablish his case, and the wrongful one to be defeated. Two independent litiga ions, it is obvious, must be the result, if such a demurrer be sustained, and innocent person, who bas really no interest in either, must be the actor and sufferer in both. Suppose, moreover, that Mr. Johnson, as is suggested, should take an appeal, by way of certiorari, from the Su- pervisors of Cattaraugus county to the Supreme Court, sitting in that district, ef another appeal, in like manner, from the Supervisors of New York county to the Supreme Court sitting in this d's- trict, and sup pote the two sets of Judges of the Su- preme Court, viewing the question at issue—a not very improbable occurrence—in differeat lights, should arrive at different conclusions, Mr. Johnson, in that event, must again, for his protection, carry up both cases to the court of last resort. Or, taking another courre—suppose he should allow the c silec- tors in both counties, at their peril, to sieze and sell his furniture, and then sue both, in two separate ac- tions, (for be could not join them in one,) fur the separate trespasses; in that caso also asimilar round of double expense aud double vexation must be the consequences. To avert such embarrassmeuts the bill of interpleader wasinvented. It isa benign pro- ceeding, and entitled to the favorable consideration of the courts. The only inquiry presented is, are there op) g Claimants, and is there a fair bona fide qu mn to be investigated in order to determine the right. Mr, Johnson’s bill, it cannot be denied, makes out precisely such a state of things. In- deed, the question raised—that of residence—is not only a fair one, but, upon the admitted facts, one of the most difficult known to the law. The plaintiff had a residence of thirty in the city. and never intended to abandon if. He never was in any profession or trade other than that of a lawyer, and never practised in any other place than this city. He still keeps in the city a house furnished for the occupation of his family, and at the time of the as- sewment in New York, his family were in its actual occupancy. On the other hand, io the year 1851, he fitted up a house in Cattaraugus for a summer resi- dence, and when assessed in that county was, with his family, in its actual Kade pit having also an of- fice in it, where be trausacted his land business, which was mostly in that andthe adjoining counties, and which is ‘now the only business in which he is en- gaged. Mr. Johnson, therefore, it is obvious, in point of fact, has two residences, although in point of law he can bave but one. It is for the Court to determine which is that one. As Mr. Johnson has no interest in the determination, he has a right to throw the liti- sca upon those who have. The bill of interplea- ler, accordingly, baving been duly filed, the demurrer must be overruled, and a first submitted for approv: Marine Court. Before Hon. Judge McCarthy. JULY 26.—James Scrymser, Jr., against John W Porter and H. R Cumings.— ‘bis was an action to recover one month's rent of lofts of premises Nos. 84 and 86 Pearl street, previous to Ist of May. De- tendants occupied the premises at $35 per month. On the 2d day of May lat, the lst being Suuday, plaintiff gave a notice in writing, about 10 A. M. that epootal order entered, to be | if they occupied the premises ufter that day they should pay $50 per month. Defeudants contiuued in postession of the premixes during the mouth of May, and tendered $35 for the rent, and insisted that the notice from plaintiff was too short. The Court held that their term having expired on the Ist of May, they should have inquired of the landlord whether they could bave the premises longer, and upon what terms; that the fac: of remaining atter getting no- tice was an acquiesenee on their part, and in ac- cordance with the ruling in 3 Carr & Payne, 443, his Honor gave judgment for the amount claimed. G. §& S. Hanks against Lutz & Webber.—Uhis Was an action for damages arising out of a breach of contwact. Defendants agreed to pay plaintilfs $310 for plastering two” houses in St. Marks place—the defendants were to furnish the materials. Plaintiffs aud their workmen performed a portion of the work, and received therefor $160; they allege that for waut of materials they bad to stop the work; whereas, had they been furnished with the necessary materials, aud allowed to finish the job, they would bave rea- lized a handsome profit. The detendants deny that they omitted to furnish the materials, aud insist that tor what plaintiffs did on the buildings, they were overpaid. From the evidence, it appeared tuat the lantifis’ men called on one of the defendants and sisted that he should furnish them with water to make the mortur, and for want of which, one wit- ness swore that the men remained id'e tor some eight or pine days; after which defendants made a con- tract with another party to finish the job, and paid $170 therefor. The Court did not consider that de fendauts were bound to furnish the water tor mixing the mortar, and that plaintiffs had abandoned the job, and were fully pala for what they had doue. Judgment for deiendants. Before Hon. Judge Thompson. Hyland § Smith vs. Sherman and others.—This action was brought to reoover for forty-three barrels oi enions, at two dollars and twenty-five cents per barrel. The onions were sold at pier No. 24, North river, and had been shipped on board the brig Devon- shire to this place. A part of the onions were on the pier and a purt on the brig. Plaistills said the onions were good, but not of the best quality. Defendants then ofiered to prove that the onious were perfeusly worthless; but the Court ruled such evidence to be wholly ivadnussible, on the ground that this was a case where the action of caveat emptor apphed. The defendants had an opportunity, at the time and be- tore the purchase, to examine the ouions, and to leara for themselves what kind of goods they were pur- chasing. No effurt to conceal the quality was at- tempted by tbe sellers; and the purchasers bought them with their eyes open, and judy- ment must, therefore be delivered for the plaiatiifs, for the price agreed to be paid—ninoty-six dollars and seventy-five cents, William Cook vs. Everts & Brown.—This action was brought to recover the sum of one hundred and seventy five dollars for damages for not delivering twenty four thousand segura, which defeadanta sold to the plaintiff. The testimony in the case disclosed the following facts :—Thomas Joice, a broker for the plaintiff, on the 29th day of April, 1853, purchased at an auction sale by Girard & Betts, auctioneers, twenty four thousand Hondo segars, which were then in bond. The segars were sold by # sample box, a number of which Joice, the broker, took away with bim after the purchase. The amount paid tor the segers was four dollars per thousand, the purchaser w ay iu addition the government duty aponm them, which was oue dollar and eighty cents per thousand. A bill of the regars was mace out by Girard & Betis at four dollara per thousand, which, with the daty added. made, in all, one hundred thirty-nine dollars and twenty cents, which Mr. Cook paid, and took @ receipt from Messrs. Girard & Betts. Plaintiff then calied for the segars at Girard & Betts’, when they gave him an order on the defendants, to deliver the same to the plaintiff. The order was taken and pre- tented to Everts & Brown, the delendants, who said they would get thei ws soon a8 possible—they though by the next day. After promising to deliver the segura several times, and upun dilferent occasions, they finally ascertained that the segars had been in bend for over a year. and they could not get them outof bond except by exportation and a re-importa- tion. Mr. Brown afterwards suid to plaintiff, that if he could not get the eegars he would compromise the matter. On the Sth of May, 1853, plaintiff, finding that he could not obtain the segara from the defeu- dant, received back the amount he paid for the sume from Girard & Betts—one hundred and thirty-niue dollers ard twenty cents. Atter the purchase by Mr. Cook, and before he learned that he could nt obtain the segars, and before he received back the purchate money, he had sold, by his ageut, Mr. Joive, vy sample, on wusand of the segars toone maui, aid five hundred to another, at fourteen d illars per thousand; and titteen handred more to several otacr ersons, at about twelve d llars per thousaud; and od an offer of nine dollars from one person, aud ton dollars per thousand from another, for the balance of the lot Onthe part of the plaintiff, there was no evidence introduced of the market value of the se- gars The de.endant proved the market value of the sevars to be about six dollars per thousand, and that the regare at the tine of the sale, »elonged to Mr. Varcese, resicing in Cartbagena, The esars were eld Ly divection of the defenvants, At the varivas Wiaviews which passed en Mr. Cook aad bes broker, Mr ide, and the defe id- ents on th ver, iu relution to the delivery of the regars, the defendants never claimed that the segara were not their own, and never seid anything ao it Mf contends that tas Varerere are liable to him in name of Mr. damage measure Jumages should be the difference between the ame nt they wetually paid ant the amoiut they bight have received for them. The defendants slivn thet inoemiuch as they wee aot the owners of tie have been proved; and that the | segars. but only the agents of Mr; Younrons, they aap not liable in for the pen delivey. 9 the regars; that the di between the m: value of the segars and the price sotually paid should be the measure of , if plaintiff is entitled to anytbing at ell; and that the receiving back of the money from Gerard & Betts was a settlement, and rescinding of the contract to deliver. The Court held that Everett & Brown were, no doubt, the agents or factors of Mx. Vaserese; that the sale by the auctioneers was a salo for Everett & Brown; and that inasmuch as neither the auctioneers nor the delendanta ever disclosed the name of the principal, Mr. Vaserese, Everett & Brown are liable to the plaintiff for the damages he may have sustained ia consequence of the uon-delivery of the seuars; thaé the difference between the market value of the segars and the price actually paid, must be the rulete govern this case; and that difference ie twenty cents per thousand in favor of Mr. Cook, judg- ment must be rendered for four dollars and cents for the plaintiff.
