To the credit of the Corporation, be it said, the New ‘York Tribune is not one of these. It is assumed Ra the notoriously libellous and scurrilous character of that ob- Reeve sheet, properly excludes it from any official recog- nition by the city authorities. In my opinion it should be put under the same ban as a to get paid. There drant, to prevent them from treezing, was returned, it ‘disrespectful lan- pers designated by law as the papers | having been, as was alleged, couched in guage. ‘A donation of $250 was given to E.

INCREASE OF SALARY YOR THE JUDGES OF THE MARINE COURT, A petition was received from the Justices of the Marine Court for increase of salary, in consequence of the laws recently passed by the Legislature having imposed upon Also, to | them additional duties. Alderman Covrrer offered a resolution{to the effect that the Justices of the Marine Court be allowed $4,000 each per annum, instead of $3,000, to commence from Ist Ja- nuary , 1858. This was opposed by Aldermen Blunt and Tucker. Alderman Drake advocated the increase in consequence of the additional duties imposed upon the Judges of the Marine Court, and the resolution was adopted by a vote of EXPENSES POR THE TRIAL OF CANCEMI. A Dill was received from Messrs Blankman and Ash- meade for $172, for expenses of witnesses, &c., on the last trial of Cancemi, convicted of the murder of policeman Anderson. NEWSPAPER RILIS.

The whole amount was $2,206 68. Re ferred. EXPENSES FOR FITTING UP THE SUPREME COURTS. The bills for refitting the Supreme Court rooms, which had been referred back to the committee, were again re- ported upon by Alderman Moneghan. The bills are the same as those formerly before the Board, with the ex. ception that the committee deducted 10 per cent from the bill of Mr. Fowler, Alderman Bicnt made a minority report, showing over- charges in twenty-eight items, which he said nearly doubled what they should be.

SUPREME COCRT—PART SECOND. Refore Hon. Judge Duer and a Jury. Dee. 21.—The court opened ata quarter past eleven o'clock. Sidney Oakemith was on the stand at the closing of the court on Saturday, and resumed the stand. By Mr. Dean—I recollect spending Christmas in Port- land; I left Boston on the 7th of December; at Port au Prince I had part of the goods of the Amelia taken out and put on deck; that was before her seizure; 1 know John Crawford, who has been examined as a witness; (Craw- ford’s affidavit of 1856 exhibited to witness;) Crawford ‘Was pot in the country when this is dated; Iwas present when the statement was made; my brother was not in the city at the time the affidavit was taken; thé affidavit was made from Crawford's statements; he came to my place of business alone: T did not know the tendency of them until T knew who he was. By the Court—He was alone; 1 took him up to Mr. Donobue’s office and he made the affidavit. By Mr. Dean—I did not know him before; he came in and avked for Mr. Caksmith. By Mr. Lord—I think Crawford called upon me in the middle of the day; there was nothing said about his motive for making the statement: I have seen him since; Tean't say how often; 1 don’t think it w: ¢; Lthink he then asked for my brother, who was not in; be said he had just arrived, 1 think from Phila delpbia; I did not ask ‘him about an affidavit which bad been made in Rabway; I aid not know of that By Mr. Dean—I recollect the transfer of the forge from some jokes which passed among the ¢ one suggested that be should be set up as a travelling biacksmith. (Mir, Dean bere read the affidavit of Crawford, of Fe. bruary, '56.) ge H. Penfield, recalled by Mr. Dean—(Bill of rifles by Mr. Ouksunith shown)—I recognize the bill the rifles were sold by me, and delivered about nary 5, 1855; they were ¢ fi 1 r saw them: Goicouria introduced me to Tovell, to whom I sold them: Captain Lovell may the whole, and Mr. Goicouria paid the balance; the Bile all my handwriting; I should say 1 got the pay be fore I wrote it; Iam not in the habit of receipting bills before 1 get the money (laughter); I made out the Dill from the invoice from the factory. (Auother bill shown for 500 rifles.) 1 recognize this as my handwriting; I sold them to General Goicouria; I don't know how many guns 1 sold to General the only large lot was 1,000 guns at one time Lovell 1,000 guns, all carbines Smit were together; Capt. Smith bought no separate lot from me: can't tell how many I sold to Hitchcock & Co.: we b been jog them ever since we began to manufac. ture them. By Mr. Lord—! have an indistinct recollection of making out duplicate bills, Mr. Oakemith did not pay me for the surveyor of the Atlante Insurance Company in 1854; 1 made ‘no report of the bark Victory in that year. Mr. Dean claimed the right to examine the books of sur- renee Mr. Lord denied, as Mr. Lord claimed that coped iptv the seaworthiness of the vessel. hat the plaintiff had a right to examine Foy booke before questioning the witness. -& Teed excepted for the defence, ‘Witness—I did not make a survey of the Victory; T thik & gentleman named Ellis made a survey in 1864. Mr. Dean offered the book in evidence. Witness—TI think the entry about the ig made by Capt. Ellis; it is made by persons in the employ of the company; the book is an entry of surveys, The Court ruled that the entry was irrelevant as testi- mony, and that the person who made the entry should be called to prove it. By Mr. Lord—lI find that in 1848 I surveyed this vessel. Mr. Lord waived the reading of the entries, and Mr. Tean proceeded to read them, showing her to be of 297 tong, single deck, copper fastened, common mode!

A Juror—That is what I always unserstood. The Court—If I had known that I vould have relieved you gentlemen of the case a week ago. The Court—Unlees he had been aa owner the insurance was for the benefitof Goicuria, aad he was entitled to the benefit of the policy. Mr. Dean—We have an as:ignment of this policy from Mr. Goicuria dated February, 1855, to Mr. Oaksmith. ‘The Court—The complaint states tha he (Oaxsmith) was the sole owner, while the proof is that he was but a trustee. Mr. Lord—This is but an fssignment of the right to sue under the policy. The Court—It reste with Mr. Lord whether this question of law shall be reserved, and you stall haye a decision as to the facts. Mr. Lord said he bad ratber ensult with his associ- ates. He briefly argued to the Court that so far as the guns. I do not recollect the date: I should say the money ‘Was paid before the date of the bill. By the Court—Some person Fequented me to make out these bills in the name of Mr. Oakemith, Ry Mr. lerd—I should judge that Goicouria sent me about $21,000 of the $34,000; 1 had not the pleasure of Mr. Onkemith’s acquaintance at the time; 1 would not have made these duplicate bills at Mr. Oaksmith’s request without the assent of the person who sent me. Mr. Dean read the bills for 500 Sharpe's rifies, and for 1,000 Sharpe's carbines, at $90 each, cartridges, &c., at, 84 000. 1 Welcome R.

Copt. Sam). J. Waring called by Mr, Dean] wag marine EE EE VZ_ law of interest was concerned the plaintiff? could not re- cover. Mr. Dean stated that he did no’ know of the assignment ‘until after the commencement of the suit, He thought the complaint might be amended. The Court—Mr. Oaksmith has preacribed claims to the insurance on the ground of his personal interest, and the complaint bears out that idea. If the counsel inaist upon that objection I shal! certainly hold that the action canaot be maintained. Mr. Dean—I shal! insist tha this assignment should be received in evidence. Mr. Lord objected, though he thought it would not vary the case. The Court—The comp!aint is that Mr. Oaksmith was the owner of the property at the time of making the insur- ance,and atthe time of the lose; if he had no interest at the time of the insuraxce or at the time of the loss, he cannot recover, Mr. Dean, to the witnese—At the time that this policy was issued’ had you afvanced any money upon these things? A. Yes, sir, I had paid for the coal. Q. Had you advanced anything pen the arms and am- munition?” A. As charges, L had, sir. @ What do you mean by that? A. Thad paid expenses upon the vessél and cargo. 'Q. When she went to St. Thémas what interest had you in the cargo of that voyage’ A. I considered the whole cargo mine, because it had been put in my name; the bills bad been made to me; neither had Goicuvia paid for all of it. The Court—Mr. Burroughs hae stated that he had paid for the whole; you state that Goicuvia owned the whole, and that you purchased from him, but that the vesse) ‘Went out at his risk, and when the veesel came back wae insured, you had no other interest than what.you had before; do you mean to say that you was or was not the owner of that cargo’ A. I was owner. . You mean that it stood in your name? sponsible for all the expenses, ‘The Court—You «id not purchase and was not the owner? You were acting as an agent: how did you become the A. Twas re- ‘owner of the vessel in the interval? A. Tnever became the owner any more than I was in the first instance; I went ‘on advancing for these operations from time to time, until my advances amounted to over $40,000. Q. Before you made the insurance? A. But a small por- tion before I'made the insurance. ‘Q. Had you made advances amounting to $30,000? A. I Ubink pot to that amount. Q. What amount do you think? A. Perhaps from $7,000 to $8,000; J insured by order of Gen. Goicouria; Mr. Bur- roughs was the fret geutleman who asked me about the insurance. The Court—It would appear that he bad an interest to the extent of from $7,000 to $8,000. Iam not prepared to say that if the jury believe him he would be entitled to re- | cover. Mr. Lord—He was a mere cover—he was a mere agent in porsession—shipping. They are bound to put this upon that in seme shape, and that would only war- rant the recovery of the $7,000 or $8, Mr. Dean said that if the Court so ruled, he would fer to have a further* consultation with his clients before proceding. He did nét think they should continue with out a chance to recover the whole amount. The Court—I eball bold that he can recover only to the extent of his interest. The jury may take a recess for hatf an hour, and the probability is that the case will then be discharged Jndge Dean, after the recess, stated that he had consult- ed his client, Mr, Deveaux, who was the only party now interested: and if his Honor decided that they could not recover the whole amount, would prefer to have the case dismissed. ‘The Court am clearly of the opinion Lend oy ean “sa! recover to the extent that you owned in cargo. should ingtruet the jury to find, if they come to a cache: gion in your favor uponthe question of facts involved in the case, that you can only recover for your $7,000 or $5,000, that he Urges that he advanced Mr. Dean—We would like to offer in inert the bill of these articles mari oat to him The Court do net know that this pee) aller the case, Mr. Lord thought that it would be evidently manufac- tured testimony. Afler some geeultory discussien it was admitted that Mr. Oakar ith bad Teatified to being direated by Golcouris to mag an insurance on the vessel, and the case was dis- Teed on the grovnds-—Firet. The policy could not attach exoept on the cargo laden upon the commencement of the voyage. And second, that there was no proof of interest made by Mr. Onksrith. Mr. Dean asked and obtained leave for twenty days to make out a new case. ‘The Court dismissed the jury as followe:-— Gentlemen—I thank you for yeur attention to this case ] pope Leng ey ope not raised at an earlier of the ease.
