Mr. Merrick asked if tuat was proper language for the witness to use. The Court said it was not, but counsel must not worry and annoy the witness. Witness gaid that Mr. Merrick had said the other day that ail the witnesses ougut to be in the Penitentiary, ¢ he sates it understood that he was as good as Mr, erick, Witness then resumed and said:—Surratt stated that be had frequently traveled to Richmond, under the as- sumed names of Harrison and Sherman; upoo reaching the coast of Ireland Surratt called me behind the wheel- house and remarked that he saw foreign land at last, and, putting his baud upon the pistol in his pocket, be he hoped to live to sve the day when he could re- ture and serve Andrew Johnson as Abrabam Lincoln had been served; be said also that if an Engiisv offlver attempted to arrest bim he would shoot him; I told.him if be did that he would meet with very little mercy in England; he replied that he knew that, but ne would do it, nevertheless; for be would sooner be hung by an Eng- lish jury (han @ Yankee one, and if he went to the United States again he knew he would swing.

THE COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Sentences on Counterfeiters. Before Judge Shipman, Thore was not a spot of standing room within or with- out the bar of the Circuit Court room yesterday morning. The occasion which brought so unusual a crowd together was the knowledge of the fact that the “Mount Vernon counterfeiters” would receive sentence, and that the principal, Brockway, would make some developmente as to the operations of the detectives in the secret service of the Revenue Department, reflecting very severely upon some of these officials, ‘The prisoner Brock way made a long statement, during the delivery of which the Court had several times to in- terrupt him and request him to be brief. SENTENCES. ‘The three prisoners having severally made their state- ments they were called to the bar and were severally senteuced as follows:—The Court said—Charies 0. Brockway and Jonas Atkinson, the sentence and judg- ment of the Court is that you be severaily imprisoned and kept to hard labor in the Albany Penitentiary, in this State, for the period of fifteen years. Nathuntel Oakley was then sentenced to three years imprizonment, with hard iabor, in the Albany Peniten- ui ary. ‘As Judge Shipman pronounced the sentences upon Brockway and Atkinson, there was much in the occa- sion—its impressiveness and the terribie sentence—to convey @ needed lesson to many that were present. As before stated, the court room was crowded. Thero was ‘a sprinkling of jurors, summoned for the term; a num- ber of lawyers and their clerks, to the latterof whom sentences upon noted criminals and the scenes and cir- cumstances connecied therewith are things to be remoin- bered as part of their legal lore; there were old officers of the court, who, going back for thirty years in their reminiscences, could recount many somewhat similar scenes in their time, whea aged criminals, like Atkinson, of seventy-three years, like Brockway, in the prime of life, and ike the youthful New Hampshire boy, Clog- ston, stood at the same barfor sentence. But there were also on this occasion others saterested—those who feared such bony eyint ag might be made before the upright judge, who heard the entire case and whose just indignation bad been excited against the whole system of the secret service division, and against the lawiess- ness, the iliegality and corruption with-which the whole ‘thing was leavened from the first to the last, But there ‘were other and sadder sights within that court room to cont than the bianched cheek of companion or friend, of father, mother or brother; for there was the nearer one dearer than all, Mra, Brock: never left ber husband during his coerced visits to the United States Marshal’s office, nor at the time of trial and sontence, Neither did the old man’s wife, Mrs. Atkinson, forty years younger than her convicted spouse. Oakley is a young man, and his wife is also young and fair, but Steeped in grief at the fate of her husband. Such was the group, and such the party upon whom double sen- tence must be passed, for, like the spear that pierced two 1a, this terrible sentence must pierce all whose hearts are with the prisoners, whether guilty or innocent. After passing sentence, as if desi: to diam: ry unpleasant ecene, Judge Shipman moved the court to be adjourned to July 23, BANKRUPT COURT. Involuntary Bankruptcy Case—Important in Bankruptcy. Before Judge Blatchford. In the matter of the appiication of J. H. & A. R, Whitney to have the firm of Black & Secor declared bankrupts, ‘The bankrupts are iron bolt and nut manufacturers. ‘The act of bankruptcy alleged, is the allowing of a judg- mont by default, in a State court, upon which an execu- tion was issued against the property of the bankrupts and lovied upon by the Sheriff of the city and county of New York, ‘This court had allowed a temporary injenction restrain- ing the Sheriff from selling under the execution, ‘The matter now came up on the application to have Black & Secor declared bankrupts. Mr. C, H. Smith aj peared for Mr. Whitney, dir. Joachinsea for Mr. Wood ‘and the creditors, Mr. H. P, Townsend for the bankrupt, Secor. Black did not appear.

Jud. Benedict decided that a person who sells chances in @ lottery whether he gives, a ticket, or a piece of paper or pot, comes under the law. His Honor quoted numerous decisions on this poiut, and continued by saying that a person in order to sell a policy of numbers need not sell any piece of paper. It was sufficient if a party had enough confidence in the vendor to pay him money, without receiving anything to show that he had it, Another Conviction for Ilicie Diatilintion. ‘The United States vs. Hugh Mulraney.—Tae defendant, who was indicted for carrying on the distillery business without complying with the law, was placed on trial yesterday afternoon, This was the first case where a party has been tried for distilling in a dwelling bouse.

Serious Freaks or Tue Brookirx FEeerrvoars.— About seven o'clock yesterday moraing the Williams burg ferryboats Superior and Commodore Perry, while crowded with passengers and teams, collided at the foot of Jackson street, and damaged each other's upper works considerably.
