The Primary Election Fraeas in the 19th Ward. Action Against the Police for Trespass—Alder~ man Herrick and the Mayor—Lmportent Charge of the Judge. MARINE COURT. Before Hon. Judge Birdsall. Seer. 26.— William Roach vs. Francis J. Twomy (Police Captain), John McQuade, Henry L. Marsh, and William Hinchman, Police Oficers.—This was an action tor tres- pass, which bas occupied the Court for three days. It is against a captain of police and his assistants for forcibly entering the premises of the plaintiff during a primary election for delegates to Syracuse. Mr. Lawren having summed up on the part of the defence, and Mr. Richard Busteed for the plaintiff, the Judge proceeded to charge the jury:— ps Gextieven oF THE JuRY—In submitting this case for your deliberation, I feel some delicacy, as the questions presented are of great importance, not only to the parties in this action, but to every member of the police ; sce ment in our city, and to every member of the community. The action is for trespass. 1 will first, without allusion to the facts, define specifically to you, what in law is a trespass, as af the realty or its peaceable enjoy- ment. ‘Trespass, in its largest and most extensive sense, says Sir Wm. Blackstone: “Signifies any trans- gression or offence against the law of nature, of society, or in the country in which we live; whether {t relates to a man’s person or his property.”” ' But in the limited and confined sense in which you are to consider it, it signifies no more than an entry on another man’s ground or pre- mises withouta lawful authority. For the right of property in lands, once established, it follows, as a necessary consequence, that this right must be exclusive—that is, that he may retain to himself the sole use occupa- tion thereof, and that he be entitled to the peacable and quiet enjoyment of possession, and every entry thereon without the owner’s leave, and especially if contrary to his express order, is a trespass or transgression. ‘One must have, however, a property (either absolute or tem porary) in the premises, and actual possession by entry, ‘0 be able to maintain an action of trespass. Now, gon: tlemen, the questien arises, has such an act been com- mitted by these defendants? Did they enter the premises of this plaintiff, in vioiation of the rights which. the law hhas given him in the peaceable and quiet possession of his own property? If so, then a trespass has been com- mitted, and the defendants have made themselves liable. What is the defence? That this being a primary election, that these defendants had the right to be there to pro- tect such primary election; thet tney acted in conformity with their duty as officers of the law. They show a breach of the peace to have been committed outside of this house—that is, that threats were made to tear down the building unless fair play could be had; that they wished some one in there to wateh the acts of the in- spectors, which was denied; that, in order to prevent a further breach of the peace outside, they entered these premises; and that, because the doors and windows were rricaded, they ‘had the right, if admission was denied to them—that thon they as such officers had the right to enter by force. Now gentlomen, as to the fact that this being a primary election, a public meeting—that they had the right to enter to protect—there is no pro- vision in our statutes as to the manner, form, tims and place, of holding elections of this kind. Ptimary elections republican form of government, is ofcourse unknown to the English common law. They are then in no way legalized, unless by custom. This election was held, as in proof, according to custom and in strict conformity thereto.’ This assemblage had a right to be there in pur- suance to the call. And if this plaintiff, being the owner, or party in possession, had son fit to let his premises for this purpose, he miost certainly had the right to aa: in what manner and to what extont they should be used; he had given the inspectors a right to be in there, for the purpote of receiving the ballots through the window, and d, a8 appears, prepared the window for that purpose, and'if he let the premises to be used as they were, that is giving to no other person or persons, excepting the in- apectors the right to occupy, then he had a perfect right to refuse the admission of these defendants to that room. ‘That « breach of the peace was committed outside of the house I do not think would alone justify their acts in en- tering; it was more properly their duty to have preserved the peace outside. I therefore, charge you, gentlemen, that, if in your opinion, there was’ a breaking and entering by the defendants of the premises ofthe plaintiff, in the absence of any breach, of the peace on the inside of the house, in the absence of any proper and duly executed judicial process of law di- recting the entry or making it necessary in the absence ofany request made to the defendants by the plaintiff or ‘by some person having a» right in the premises under him, then these defendants, if they were acting in concert, were guilty of a trespass, pro- vided in addition that you find the absence of these legal reasons for breaking and entering, and that such entering was against the exprowod wish of the party in Possession. The intendment of the law with reference to e attencance of policemen at primary elections, was that no settled principle as to the enjoyment of property should be violated. All officers of the law, of whatever character they may be, whether judicial ‘or executive, must be regulated by and cannot violate these laws in their execution. That parties can violate law in execut- ing it is a paradox which is unknown to its principles. ‘The question as to whether such a violation has been ef- , is purely a question of fact, and solely and abso- lutely'for you to pass upon, This ls to be determined by @ careful serutiny of the testimoay before you, and is not to be influenced by any knowiedge any juror may possess outside of the proof br by any extrinsic fact or facts whatsoever. have already stated that this is an important matter, and it having appeared in our public prints, that al- though not parties to the action, yet that this case arises but of a persona! feeling between one who holds @ ‘igh, honorable and executive position in our city, and one of the representatives of the Nineteenth ward, Such inti- mations have also been thrown out by the counsel in their summing up, and also drawn out in some manner trom the witnesses, and appear in proot before you, that the tickets voted on that occasion, and which caused the excitement, were styled, one the '*Wood’? and the other the “Herrick” ticket. 1 would cantion you in your deli- berations, diseard from your mind any and all prejudice or bias which may have been caused by such statements; let them in no way influence or govern you. The ques- tion ia not who shal! rule the Nineteenth ward’ but has a trespass, such as has been defined by me, been com- mitted’ have the rights of this plaintid? been violated? The duties devolving upon the Court in explaining to the jury the principles ot law applicable to the case; are ren: dered easy by reason of the light which precedents and fundamental writers have shed upon them. The duty of the jury, however, is less easy of performance and much more delicate. You are to ask yourselves if the defend- ants, who are executive officers of the law, have brought the powers with which they have been clothed to. bear either directly or indirectly, upon the legal expression of ‘popular wili—or at least upon the manner in which that ion should be manifested—without the legal right todo sof If the acts complained of were illegal and had the effect referred to, it is a blow struck through the plaintiff against the peace and well being of our society, and should be rebuked by your verdict. On the other hand, you will remember that the defendants hold im- portant positions in society, and to them in a great mea- sure is delegated or confided the duty of protecting the integrity of the public peace, the property, persons and lives of our citizens; and great care should be exercised by you that so important a branch of the government shall not be impsived in. ite usefulness, or brought. into contempt. But I distinctly charge you that if these de- fendants, in your judgment of the facts, have by their acts brought themselves within the prohibitions of the law as interpreted to you by the Court, that then neither position nor station, be it social or official, can be in- voked to sustain them. On the contrary, all are sup- to know the laws, and if you fird officials, whose uty itis to vee them executed, openly and fearlessly violating their provisions, it xhould be taken into con- rideration for the purpose of enhancing damages, to the nd that others holding like responsible positions’ may be deterred from like violations. The assumption of doubt- fal powers ix always dangerous, and their exercise often leads to oppression and wrong. The defendant's counsel asked the Judge to charge on several points, The Court replied in each instance that he had already instructed the jury upon the points sub- mitted, and he repeated his views. The jury, after a short consultation, brought in a ver- tict for the plaintiff for $400, The counsel for defendants iemanded » poll; and on being polled the jury all an- swered in the aftirmative—that the verdict us read was their verdict. Supreme Court—In Chambers. Before Hon. Judge Clerke. IMPORTANT OPINION ON IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT UNDER THE CODE. Sept. 26.—Lane vs. Lowe and others.—This was an ac- tion against the maker of two promissory notes, amount ing to $1,667 84. The defendant, without denying the demands, claims a set-off for money laid out and expended, and work and labor, amounting to $150, tacitly admitting a balance due to plaintiff of $1,517 84. The plaintiff then moved, under the last paragraph of subdivision 5, section 244 of the code, that the defendant be ordered to satisfy that of the demand thus tacitly admitted, and that the Court enforce the order as it enforces a provisional remedy, by commitment as for contempt. cy ‘J.—The paragraph from the code, Keni by the plaintiff, if as isolated and detached, may eem to warrant the construction sought to be put upon it, but taken in connection with other provisions in the same section, this construction cannot be maintained.

Louisa Wyckoff, residing at No. 198 West Sixteenth street, deposes that 1 was requested by Stephen H. Branch to go to South Seventh street, near the corner of Third street, Williams- burg, L. [., and subpena Mary Matsell Finn; that I told Mr. Branch I never knew a lady to subpoena a lady, who replied that this was an extreme case—that inasmuch as I was a child residing opposite Lafayette Hall, in Broad- way, when George Matsell, tailor, resided there, I. knew all his children, viz,: William, native of England, long deceased; Mary, a native of England, who now resides in Williamsburg,gL. I.; Susan, a native of England, who is the wife of Mr. Fiorl, who is, I believe, an unnaturalized foreigner, and now ‘represents America at Manchester, England, as Consul; George. o native of Brandon, Eng: land, who is the Chief of Police of the City of New York; Augustus, a native of Brandon, England, who died in South America; Elizabeth, a native of Brandon, England, who resides in the Seventh ward in this city, and is the wife of Joseph Sweet, a proprietor of the Sunday Leader, of this city; James Henry Abdeel Columbia, a native of the United States, who married the widow of Augustus, his brother, and is, as I believe, the American Consul in South America. That inasmuch as I knew all, and played with a portion of these children of George Matsell, tailor, in my childhood, and could recognize them now; that inasmuch as I have seen them at various times since that remote period, and have visited George at his resi- dence, who now recognizes me as his acquaintance in for- mer days; that in view of all this, Mr. Branch requested me to serve a subpoena on Mary Matseil Finn, at Williams. burg, signed by Alderman Briggs and David’. Valentine, and to gratify Mr. Branch, I consented to assume the task; and accordingly I'left the city of New York, for that purpose, on the morning of Friday, the 14th of September, 1855, for South Seventh street, near the corner of Third street, Williamsburg, and having arrived, senta little girl to in,uire for Mrs. Finn, (Mary Matsell’ having last married a man named’ Abbott and subsequently a man named McFinn, and having af- terwards struck off the Mc, and has since called herself Finn; at a toy and confectionery store, kept by her daughters, whose name are Abbott, they being the’ chil- dren Fi her first husband; that the little girl was told by a girlin the store that Mrs, Finn did not reside there; that I then made inquiry of one of the neighbors, and was told that Mrs. Finn did positively reside there, and had been seen within a short time; that I then went into the toy store myself and inquired for Mrs. Finn, and was informed by ler daughters, whom I knew, that Mrs. Finn did not live there—that they did not know Mrs. Finn, nor where she resided: that I again made applica- tion to the above mentioned neighbors, and requested one of them to accompany me to Mrs. Finn’s house, which she did; that the neighbor told Mrs. Finn’s daughters that Mrs. Finn, their mother, certainly did reside there, which they blushingly and ‘nervously ac- knowledged, but said that she was absent from home; that I saw a family connection of the Matsell and Finn family in Williamsburg, who told me that she knew that Mrs, Finn resided in tj rear of the toy shop in South Seventh street, at wHMBba had inquired, and that she had seen her only a short fime previous; thatI then called on Mrs. Fenwick, whom I immediately ized as Mrs. Mary Matsell, Finn's eldest daughter, and formerly Mary Abbott, and’ asked her if 1 could see Mra, Finn, her mother, and was answered “No,” in a violent manner— she, at the same time, slamming the door most voilently in my face; that when I first called in the toy store to in- quire for Mrs, Finn her daughters evinced a nervous tremulation of the hands and lips and jaws, such as I never witnessed on the most painful oceasions, And far- ther this deponent saith not.

Branch to cubpana Mary Matsell ‘Finn, the eldest sister of George Matsell, Chief of Police; that I' told Mr. Branch an officer would probably be more suitable for such a mission, when Mr. Branch replied that he desired me to serve the subpeena, as I had known Mary, William, Susan, George, Augustus, Elizabeth and James Henry, Alfred, Columbia, since they resided opposite Lafayette Hall, where Niblo's Garden now stands, and because I was intimately acquainted with George Matsell, tailor, and Hlizabeth, his wife, having formed their acquaintance shortly after their arrival in America (Columbia Matsell excepted), in the ship Perseus, im 1817, from England; ‘that in consequence of all this, and to please Mr. Branch, who said that it required some to subpeena Mary Mateell Finn, who was acquain her, I accordingly started with'a friend on Saturday morning, the 15th of September for Williamsburg, at 7 o’clock, and proceeded to the residence of Mrs, Finn, sister of Matsell; thet in stepping im the doorwa: and confectionery store, in South Seventh, near the cor- ner of Third street, our presence seemed to excite atten- tion and alarm, and presently a general commotion in Fas bi z i : A z z Ex aE there; that quite Mrs. Finn bad absented her. self from the picdlpee Be that accordingly myself and friend passed on from the toy shop to the corner of ‘Third and South Seventh streets, where we saw Matthew Finn, Mary Matsell Finn’s eldest son, come out of his sister’s toy shop, and come to the corner, where we were followed by two desperate bullies; that while my attention ‘wos diverted for 4 momant, my friend directed my eyes to arevolver that Matthew Finn was just putting in his breast Doaket, hy ‘dist brandished it in the rays of the morning sun; that Finn and his soon went down the street; that my friend then went into a bakery on the corner, and requested permission to examine the yard, which was granted, while I went up Third street, that on my return, and while waiting for my friend, Finn came several times and pion es near me, frequently hailing and talking with rowdies as they passed to and fro, and who now seemed to be gathering very rapidly; that in about halfan hour my friend returned and in- formed me that he had been in the rear of the toy shop and confectionery store, where he ascertained that Mrs. Finn and her daughters resided in the house owned by Mr. Fenwick, who married Mary Matsell Finn’s eldest daughter, Mary Abbott; that Mr. Fenwick owned and re- sided in another house directly in the Fear of Mrs. Finn's, and which fronted on another street; that the rear of both houses were connected by one yard; that he saw se- veral ferocious bull dogs in the yard, which the neighbors said came from the dog pound in New York; that he be- Neved Mrs. Finn was secreted in Mr. Fenwick’s house; tbat on sealing the fence, and while he was about to de- seend into the yard, Mrs. Fenwick came running out, crying, “What do you want, sir?” that he replied, ‘I desire’ to examine the yard,” that she said, “If you succeed in passing those dogs we will have bullets for you then; that he told her he was not afraid of the dogs, and in them one sprang at him, which he kept off wi fetting, only 9 suight nib: ble from one of them; ¥ Mrs. Fenwick then said, “You seem to take things mther cooly, and you must be the tor, and you had better depart very soon;” that after looking around the yard a little, and not finding Mrs. Finn, so that he could place he subpoena in her bands’ (which he had in his pocket,) he I aie tana by ree Se: ane 4 ing through the bakery again; on hearing al This Teoneluded to beata retreat, as I had no idea of storming a castle to serve a subpoena; that before re- treating we went into several stores, and were invaria- bly informed that Mrs. Finn resided in the rear of the toy shop, and had been recently seen in the store; that as I was going down the strect, Finn in came where I was; and I was informed by neighbors that he be- longed to a terrible of rowdies; that I had not goue far before I again saw Fion at my heels ia company with the worst fellows I ever beheld; that my friend, about this time, suddenly disappeared, and I continuea’ on to- wards the ferry, but hed not been there long when Finn and his ruffians were again by my side, who pointed me ‘out as the alligator toabout every one that passed, and did his utmost to raise a mob against me; that I remain- ed at the ferry about two hours, conversing with hey om lice officers for safety, as Finn’ was pacing to and tro, and passing from corner to corner, and doing all he cou! to have me attacked; that my friend finally came down to the ferry, after obtaining all the information he could; that we then consulted as to the expediency of enteri the toy shop and serving the subpana at every peril, but we concluded that an attempt to serve the subpona, under the circumstances, would be attended with ver; serious results, and might end in riot and bloodshed; that we finally re-crossed the ferry to New York; andfur- ther this deponent saith not.

The Massachusetts Sunday school teachers visited Randall’s and Blackwell’s Islands yesterday; and although they had but a few hours to see the institutions, atil! from what they did see they could form some idea of the extent of the public charities of New York. At nine o’clock they started on board the steamboat Sun, from the foot of Chambers street, and returned about half-past three, when a large number took passage on board the Bay State on their return home. There were over a thousand persons altogether; and as each carried a carpet bag or valise, they had more the appearance of an immense- company of travellers than a pleasure party, They had also provided themselves with large baskets full of meat, bread, cakes and peaches—a very necessary precaution, as they had no time to partake of the hospitality of the ‘Ten Governors. On their arrival at Randall’s Island they were received by the Superintendent, Mr. Eldridge, and greeted with three cheera by the Cadets, who, to the number of three or four hundred, paraded before them. They were also onsiderably edified with various military evolutions per- formed by the same youthful soldiers, and expressed their approbation in the most enthusiastic manner. Governor Drarer, who accom them from New York, made a few ay riate remarks, welcoming them to Randall's Island: Ladies and gentlemen, it becomes m pleasing duty on this occasion to welaome you, on behalf of the of Ten Governors and the children you now see before you. It certainly is gra' ‘to me to see 80 many respectable Figs se from another State to visit our institutions, and to cheer on the good work in which they are engaged. We present to you one thousand little ones, the offspring of a Large city, brought here by the charity of our munici government, and waced under the supervision of proper persons for their education and culture. (Applause.) We present them to you with pride and satisfactinn; we bave seen them, year Piet beg Pages err aS 2 gE ia find that this institution of Randall’s Island has sent forth, during the last six or seven years, two thousand into the country, where they are suitably employed. We welcome you te'Aandat iad, and wa ho vet {ball see you here again, when we fo prot x feagpeet in the coures of your examiner tion, for none of us feel too proud to take any advice from the State of Massachusetts she may give, in refe- rence to the charities of a people for whom she has done 80 much. a outh- At the concusion of Mr, Draper's remarks, two ful orators, Edward Ryan’ and William Smith, bot po pils of the institution, addressed the company; after which, all the Cadets entertained them by singing two or three of their best songs. Rev. Grorce F,. Homer, of Boston, made a few re- marks on behalf of the teachers. He said:—I desire to return my sincere , on behalf of the men and women of Massachusetts, to you and the proj authorities, for this reception. We have been gratified and delighted with all we have seen of your city and its institutions, It has been said by a writer, in regard to the great city of London, that while that city excelled all others in its vices, so it also excelled them in its charities. Gur united wish in regard to this great city of yours is that it may not only rival London in wealth, intelligence and every great enterprise, but also in all that relates to education, religion, free, principles, and the charities that warm and bless. (Applause,) 1 was asked to re- spond tothe boys, and although I should feel embarrassed before this great audience, with boys I always feel at home, Boys, 1 am glad to see you, and we shall all re: member that'we bad a pleasant time when we were at Randall's Island, I should like to go around and shake hands with every one of you. I want you all todo the Uttle things of life well, for they all go to make up the great things of life. Do this, and you will all be honest and trustworthy, if you be not great men. This closed the visit to Randall’s, and after passing through two or, three of the buildings, the company went back to the boat and proceeded to Blackwell’s Island, Here they took a hasty glance at the lunatic asylum and the workhouse, after which they returned to the city. Before the boat left the wharf, a gentleman of the com- pany, residing in Boston, fell’ overboard, and was with some difficulty rescued by two of the convicts, named John Kelly and Robert Hogan, who went in after him. He was, however, more frightened than hurt. A collec- tion was taken up for the men who saved him, and placed in the hands of one of the Governors, to be given them when their term of imprisonment shail expire. A considerable number of the teachers, we understand will not leave New York before to-morrow. We trust that their visit to New York will be remembered by them hereafter with pleasure, RECEPTION OF THE MASSACHUSETTS SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHERS IN BROOKLYN. A large meeting for the reception of the Massachusetts Sunday School delegation was held in the Plymouth church last evening. Mr. A. Woodruff, of Brooklyn, presided. On the platform were seated Mayor Smith, of Boston ; Mayor Hall, of Brooklyn, and a number of clergymen of Massachusetts and of this city. ‘An anthem, by the choir, and reading of the Scriptures by the Rey. Mr. Atkinson, commenced the proceedings. 4 prayer was made by the Rev. Mr. Weed, of the Sands street M. E. church. ‘An address to the visiters was made by the Rev. Mr. Hogarth, of Brooklyn, who welcomed the Massachusetts dclegation in very flattering terms, alluding to their monuments as the nation’s glory, and her literature as the nation’s pride, Hedwelt at considerable length upon the good results of a union of sentiment in regard to Sab- bath schools, and the importance of mission schools and religious instruction to the young, generally. "In conelu- sion he bade them alla hearty welcome to Brooklyn. Mayor Swurn, of Boston, thanked the Brooklynites for their cordial reception and the courtesy extended to them. He concluded by inviting the Sunday School Upion of Brooklyn to visit Boston, and they would try and treat them well. ‘Addresses were then delivered by Mayor Hall, Mr. Bul- lard, Rey. Dr, Buddington, Rev. Mr. Steedwell, Rev. Mr. Butler, Mr. Henry Hoyt, and others. The exercises were highly interesting, and closed with 4 benediction by the Rev. Mir, Butler, of Lowell, Mass. whatever you may u Fall Exhibition of the Horticultural Socicty. LIST OF PREMIUMS AWARDED FOR FRUITS. Yesterday was the second and last day of the fall exhi- bition of the New York Horticultural Society, and there was, if possible, a still larger attendance than at the opening. In former years the exhibitions were so poorly patronized that it was feared the New York public had no taste for such things; but whatever doubts may have been entertained about the matter then, there can be none now, after the liberal manner in which it has been sustained. Over five thousand persons visited it during the two days of its continuance, and the spacious rooms which had been engaged in the Mercantile Library were crowded from morning till night. We have already spoken of the admirable taste with which the flowers and fruits were set out, and the skill displayed in the manufacture of the various ornaments; but {t would be impossible to do justice to all, where there were so many to notice, One room was entire- ly occupied by fruit, and such fruit has seldom been exhibited. There were pears of one hundred varie- ties, and of a quality that bas never been equalled by any former exhibition. Large, mellow and juicy, they lay in such tempting array on the tables, that it was with difficulty we refrained from appropriating some, and we have no doubt that others had the same difficulty to contend against. ‘Then there were peaches and apples in the greatest profusion, and of the best descriptions; and melons, and grapes, and nectarines, that would have se- duced even the palate of the most abstemious anchorite. But it was in the floral department that the Society ex- celled. ‘The large reading room on the second floor was devoted entirely to the flowers, and it was peculiarl adapted for the purpose. The statuary with whic it is ornamented were set off to the greatest advan- tage, and was in excellent contrast with the varied hues of the flowers and the deep green of the different plants. Conspicuous among them were the figures of Truth and Silence, in marble, which were executed by Mr. J. Monier, and presented’ by Henry A. Stone, Esq., to the Mercantile Library Association. Truth is represented by a woman, holding a sword in her hand, while at her feet is the mask which she has torn from the face of Deception; and Silence is also represented by a woman, whose finger placed upon her lips denotes her character, They are both the presiding deities of the Reading Room, and indicate that all who enter this apart- ment must be both silent and truthful in the search of knowled; In addition to the single flowers there were some very fine selections in baskets and in the form of bouquets, which were np with the most artistig taste. The blending of the colors and the whoié atfanyéniént could not be too highly praised. Last evening the rooms were crowded to suffocation, and a large number were unable to hear the closing exercises. There was some Tory good music, and an addreas was delivered by Mr. W. ‘yant, after which the crowd began slowly to disperse, and by ten o'clock the rooms were almost wholly desert” ed. As an exhibition of the various products of the fruit, the flower and the vegetable world, it was most suecess- fal, and ina pecuniary point of view the managers have ba 4 reason to be gratified with it. We have already published the premiums awarded in all the departments, with the exception of the fruit, which we give as follows:— FRUIT. For the best general display of fruit, $15, Wilson G.
