My B = THE COURTS. (HITED STATES CIRCUMT COURT. The Prasstan Extradition Onse. Before Judge Stypman. Tra Oe Case of the Extradition of Philip Henrich. —The Dearing of the caso was resumed at nine o’elock yester- @ey woroing. Mr W. Zach, Acting Consn} General, and Mr, Heary B. Lapangh, covnsel for the Proasian government, were present Mr. Charles Weble appeared for the defendant, who was tn court by virtue of the writ of habeas corpus, Mr. Weble resumed bis argument in support of the position takem by bim that his client be discharged, wubstantially upon the grounds that his imprisonment a violation of taw, that the Commissioners commit- mag} /ad no jurisdiction in the premmises, and that the oe ogainst him ts wholly insufficient to support any rim nat charge whatever, Counsel contended that the arrest wos itegal inasmuch as tho party representing a Unliod States Marsbal, was not legally deputized to act ‘tm the matter, was not # citizen he United ates; Mav ho made the arrest without the knowledge or con- woot of the United States Marshal of Wisconsin, of which State Henrich was a resident, asd in which he ‘was arrested; that eld Marshal was the only person who could locally deputize another to make the arrest, and that the United States Marshal’s (of the Southern District of New York) aathority in the matter was con- eequently iNegally exercised, On thia point counsel riber contended that thero ts no authority for any shal to execute any precept beyond the limits of his @isirict, and that the Comminsioner did not and eannot acquire jumediction over the person of a man brooght before him tn the manner Hev- rich was. On this point counsel quoted Hurd em babeos corpus, “The right of the people te be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effete agamst unreasonable searches and seizures shal wetted” Counsel maintained that Henrie end transportation from his bome over a di @welve hundred miles was a violation of the principle down. ‘The Court—Did you raise the question of legality or a. of the arrest before the missioner ? £ . Wehle—I raised the question avd offered to sup- pert it by the affidavit of tho er. ‘The Court—That will not do, You cannot raise a ques- Mon of ibis kind upon an ex parte aMdavit. That mnot the way to prove it, Mr. Lapangh—Your honor, I objected to the reading of the affidavit at the time, and it was ruled out by the Cora wissioner. ‘Mr. Weh!e —Thore was no other way of proving it; 1 eaiy appeared when wo got into the evidence. Court,—The manner of the arrest was known to the party himself, and the law presumes that every man the law; he should, therefore, have objected in timo; instead of which you waive the objection. Mr. Wahie.—I made the objection as soon as I learned the facts. - The Court.—I shall overrule that objection. A man apnot rais) a leval objection after the proper time on ‘te ground that his counsel was net aware of the objec- Mon till \t was too late. It is an immovable principle of a jaw that every man is presumed to know the Mr. Weblo then proceeded to contend that the com- plaint iteclf was invalid and void, in joining a lar BEMEeeT of aloged dstinet offences in one charge that respect was againat the spirit and lettor of The Court—Do you contend that if a man was charged swith the crime of murder in one instanco—one specitic ‘eharge—that by charging bim with ten murders he could ot be oxtradited. Mr. Wehle—I presume he has aright to be defended on ene charge. The Court—This w only a question of form, about which the treaty does not say a word. The treaty only Yrescribes the rule of evidence; and if you even made @ut that the complaint was insnflicient, I should not @ischarge ‘he man on habeas corpus, I should hold him Mall the government could make out a proper form of pro- ‘eeoding. Mr. Lapangh—We thonght, your Honor, we might be hensible if we proceeded only upon one charge. Oourt—-And I think you would have been rebuked By tho court if you had. With regard to the previous @Vesiion as to the arrest, Mr. Lapaughb, was the arrest Made under the assumption that this man, under the liar form of proceeding with case, was deputized by Marshal to make the arrest anywhere the party should be found? ‘Mr. Lapaugh—That was the assumption. We sup- the warrant in this caso—a warrant issued by a of the Supreme Court—was sufficient to arrest @ 0 anywhere within the territories of the United Tho Court—I notice a difference m the concluding ee + the order. It does not aay ‘to be found your precincts;” bat it commands you, and one of you, to apprehend the eald Henrich,” &c. A ny discussion then followed oa the construc- Gon to ton the treatios of 1648 and 1860 between ‘the United States and Prussia as to tho rendition of ves from either country. . Wehie then procesded to contend that there was Be evidence of criminalty — in the and Geouments sent over from to justify govern- @ent in extraditing his chent, ‘The Court—The form of the evidence and the character @f the evidence is to be determined by the piace from hence he comes, whether admissible or not. If ad- @aissibie there it is admissible here for whatever it is @orth. It isa question of weight of evidence. If the Gourts here were to determine the admissibility of every of evidence, no man could be extradited and no could be executed. The weight of the evidence feanother thing. We cannot play fast and loose, nor apply the technical rules of evidence iu these cases that ri in our own courts, The evidence that is admitted the German courte we are bound to admit bere. nsol appears to mix the questions as to the weight of the evidence and its admissibility. Mr, Weble then took up the question of the alleged mens of ihe prisoner to the marshal at the time of arrest. The Court intimated that counsel might not argue en @at point, as the confesaion would have no weight with m0. Mr. Wehle then concludet ‘The Court regretted that he could not proceed with the case to its close, but intimated to Mr. Lapaugh, @ounsc! for the Prussian government, that hoe would let ‘@vunse! know when ho could resume the heariug of @rgoment, and would also let Mr. Lapaugh know the 198 upon which he would like to hear him in to counsel on the other side. ‘ a said that the goverament which he rep- io cage preferred to wait the convenience a the ‘fettling those vexed points in tho construction of at of the treaty, which 80 often embar- the officers ‘of both governments, than to push on cage farther at present, ‘The case was them adjourned to some day to be*here- efter pamed. @heo Case of Heury Steele, Jr..

Operatic Enterprises in the City ef the Men- tezumas—How Maximilian Supported Them. Before Judge Suthertand. Pranciseo Mazzoleni vx, Anibal Biacchi and Laigi Den- ‘eeti.—Thie action has been pending in the court for some time, and is imstituted by the plaintiff’ to obtain some $5,000, moneys alleged to have been received by the defendants, belonging to the plaintiff. In January Jast the plaintiff obtained an order of arrest against the defendant Biacehi, holding him to bail in the sum of $6,000, upon an affidavit setting forth substantially that he had given $8,500 in five-twenty bonds to Biacchi, wpon which he received $3,000 in gold, and that Biacchi was to have returned the bonds whenever he was repaid the said $3,000, That he has tendered to Biacchi the $3,000, but that the tatter had refused to return said Donds, and bad converted them to his own use. When Biacchi returned from Mexico, in April last, the order ‘Was served and bail given. ‘The defendant Biacchi, through his counsel, Henry H. Morange, made application to have the order of arrest vacated, and upon volaminous papers and documents a motion to that effect was made before his Honor. It was shown that tho plaintiff and defendant, Biacchi, had em- barked in an operatic onterprise to Mexico, in the season of 1865, and that to obtain two letters of crodit the bonds in question, together with $2,500 adaitional, in bonds belonging to Biacchi, had been deposited with the bank- ing house of Schepeler & Co., of this city, as collateral security for $4,000, in two bills of exchange on Mexico and Havana. * ‘Tho copartners in the operatic scheme were Mazzo- Jeni, Biacchi, Signora Ortolani, Donizetti and Sulzar, the wife of Biacchi. The company were to give a season of Italian opera fn the city of Mexico, and was under the fostering, though not very suspicious, care of the Emperor Maximilian, who is (or was) a lover of the arta, and gave the managers a subsidy of $5.000 in gold per month. They performed in Mexico, Puebla, Vera Cruz and Havana, from November, 1864, to April, 1865, and it is claimed were very successful. Doouments were also produced on the motion to discharge, showing that Mazzoleni had received in Vera Cruz the necessary power from Biacchi to demand those bonds of Schepe- lor & Co., Mazzolen! fearing that they might deny his ownership, It seems, further, that Biacch! had sued Schepoler & Co. for the same bonds, they having refused to deliver them to him or any one else, alleging that they had sold them because of a failure to redeem. Tho answer of Schepelor & Co. in said suit was produced, wherein they alleged that Mazzoleni should have been made a party plamtiff’ with Bracchi, as Mazzoloni was the owner to the extent of $8,500, Counsel for the plaintiff was heard in support of the. plaintift’s order; but the Justice, after hearing the pa- pers and arguments, decided to vacate and discharge the order of arrest, holding that there was no cause sbown against the defendant Biacchi, and that plaintiff's, state- ment was wholly erroneous’ and unsubstantiated.

BROOKLYN COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT—EASTERN DISTRICT. The Whiskey Frauds—The Case of J. lin and Others—An Important Dec! terdny—The Domurr to the Indictment Overruled, &c. Before Judges Neleon and Benedict, United States vs, John Devlin, Thos. Levan, A. J, Phil- lips and Francis W. Tappan.—A decision was rendered after the opening of the Court yesterday at noon in the matter of the demurrer of defendants’ counsel, Messrs. Wm. Evarts and Wm. C. DeWitt, to the indictment found against tho defendants. The decision of the Court, an oral one, was delivered by his Honor, Judge Nelaon, who said:— Gentiemmy—In this case we have looked into the qnestion raised by the demurrer argued counsel on doth mdes, and have satisfied ourselves the de. murrer is not well taken, and it wiil be overruled. The two first counts of the indictment charge, substantially, these defendants with having put an mspector’ brand upon barrels of whiskey or distilled spirita, the brand being “Manufactured prior to September, 1866: A. J. Phillips, Inspector, Now York.” The defendants hav- ing put this inspector’s brand upon large numbers of Darrels or casks of distilled spirits, which brand imports in the judgment of law that the tax upon the whiskey has been by the manufacturer. ‘That je the import whereas the defendants knew that the liquor was manufactured sub- sequent to the lst of September, 1866. They knew at the time that the taxes had not been paid, and that this brand was put on with intent to defraud the govern- ment. That isthe charge substantially of the two fret counts of the indictment. The third connt charges thee defendants with having put upon their caske of distilled liquor a counterfoit brand—a false and counter. feit brand of the inspector—with the intent to defraud the government. Now, the act of July 13, 1866, thirty. section, contains this provision:—‘‘Any person who shall with fraudulent intent use any guilty of conviction shall pay a fine of $1,000 for not loss than undoubtedly a question, itself a which ‘involves the only doubt in connection with the ease, that in the subsequent part of the section another brand is referred to, and made an offence.

J. Trial ef Bridget Deraan far the Alleged Merder of Mra. Mary Ellen Coriell. ‘The tenth day of this extraordinary trial was reached yesterday, At ten o’clock Judge Peter Vredenburg took Dis seat on the bench. Daring the day the court room was den=oly crowded, several ladies being present. In the afternoon session some persons, in order to gain admission, climbed ‘through the windows into the court room. Two or threo times im the course of the Attorney General's speech a Portion of the audience committed the very unseemly act of cheering his observations, and the officers ap- peared to make no effort to suppress the applause. The learned gentieman, however, offered a very proper re- buke to this exhibition of bad taste. Mr. W. H. Loupp resumed his address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, He contended that the prisoner was notonly not proved satisfactorily to be guilty, but that she was innocent in thought, design or act, and that she was entitiod to claim that the imputation that she was over conpected in design or in act in the mi- nutest relation to the homicide in question was utterly false. No such imputation did or could in truth rest on hor, and he held that sho was as innocent of the murder of Mrs. Coriell as any one upon whom the denial fell. Mr. He District Attorney, here interposed, aod said that soracthing had been said about a sbirt that was found with marks of blood upon it, Dr. Coriell was now present, and ready to that the sbirt was his, Mr, Leupp—I object to it. ‘The Court—It 16 too late, Mr. Herbert—It will be remembered that this matter ‘a9 to the shirt came out only ata very late stage of the The Court—We cannot go into that now. If we did, ‘t might open up the whole question again. Mr. Leupp then went on with his argument, and con- cluded ve stating that if there was a verdict of guilty rer ‘on the facts and circumstances of this case a serious blow would be struck at the administration of criminal law in tho State of New Jersey. There were some slight indications of applause on the conclusion of the learned gent mee address, but they were at once suppressed by the Court, ‘The raven General, Hon. Mr. Robeson, at half-past eleven o'clock, proceeded to sum up the.evidence on the part of the State. They should investigate the case on facts “iy Shay ‘on principies of law settled, A great crime had been eominitted in the county. He would not hunt a poor woman to the death if there was a lingering doubt in his mind as tw her guilt, The public are looking with anxiety to the re- salt of this case; in every household where the horrid do. ails of the trial wor read, tho utmost interest was ‘ef. But the jury would, no doubt, faithfully discharge the solemn duty thrown upon them, irrespective of prejudice or passion. He detailed the circum*tances of the casevery minutely. The first hour and a half of the Yearned gentiemen’s speech was taken up with an elabo- rate description of the wounds on the person of Mra, Coriell, and with comments on the circumstances under ‘which’ he submitted the wounds were inflicted. At one o'clock the Court took a recess unti) three o'clock. EVENING SESSION. At three o'clock, when the Court sat again, The Attorney General resamed his address to the jury. He submitted that witnesses had testified that this crime had been committed by a woman. Mr, Leupp—Who has said that except Isracl Coriol!? Attorney General—My. impression is that Dr. Stillman bas also said so. pa Mr, Leupp—That.is a mistake, The Attorney General—Whether it is or not I mean to show that, from the circumstances of the case, no man could have committed this deed. He proceeded toargue on this point, and said if two men had gone to the house to commit the murder they would have fled on thealarm Deing given by the servant maid going into the streot and rousing the neighbors. The persons who committed the deed wore not strangers. No marks of men could be found in the house, but it was said that there was a man’s: abirt deft there. It was proved by Dr. Coriell that he was in the babit of leaving his night ebirt under the pillow in the bedroom. ‘Mr. Adrain—Allow me to interrupt you for a moment, mes ay of evidence that that shirt p2- him about this shirt. jonymous letter, without name mer date, Corietf about the shirt, he said he did not know anything about it, ashe had not seen it. ‘The at Rh ie eens axe of argument ngular ing if a man ging, to commit this deed would have left behind him iis bloody shirt. (Applause in court, the officers appa- rently making no effort to suppress it.) The Attorney General went on with his argument, Lae: 3 that he did not wish such an exhibition to take place in any court of justice in which hé pleadod. If the murder was tho work of a woman, no other woman could have done it without the "s assistance, and it was done with the household weapons and furni- ture—the knife, the child’s chair and the back of the rash cbatr. she did not get the knife her- welf, she dirocted those who did; and if a stranger had used he nite ha nels eee left it on wegen th rm pathway, go as to divert investigation into another chan- "The fact that the Kaife was concealed irresistibly forced on his mind the conclusion that no stranger ever committed the murder. At six o'clock the Attorney General had not concluded bis argument, and the court adjourned till ten o’clock this morning.
