The time ttention of the court for nearly three weeks hhas been on the strain in laboring to arrive at a solu- tion of the question which the judge put In about @ @ozen words. A mass of evidence has been heard, 9 ape ot een lore has been exhausted, a large range of lonal ability has been expended on this simple question and more of these attributes and ac- irements must become evolved before a solution of question of va:ue can be arrived at. It would that the judge foresees that this case will its weary length still further on, for with a de- oy of eration high! conrinendable he said to jury yesterday evening before he adjourned that he would give them @ day’s repose and release them Until to-morrow morning, 28 he believed the case ‘Weuld occupy severa! days yet to come, Decrees of Condemnation. ‘Tho following decrees of condemnation of whiskey Were yesterday taken before Judge Blatchford, on motion of Mr. Ro'lins, United States Assistant Dis- trict Attorney:—Four barrels of spirits found on ‘board the ferryboat Montague; five barrels same, found on a cart in Broadway; uine barrels same, found at 244 Warren and fudson sireets; twenty-six Is sume, at 359 Seventh avenue; twenty-five thousand cizars, at 97 Murvay street; five barrels cut tobacco and cutting machine, at Eleventh and Twelith avenues, now in warehouse at 56 Broadway; beat bags X couive and ten bags M same; three handred end seventy-four packages of siiver foll and thirty-eight packages of gold foil; six gold chains, UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT.

Dodge et al. vs. The New York and Washington Steamship Company.—This was a suit brought for commission for chartering the steamship Satvor to the United States government during the | years 1864 and 1865. From the facts set forth in the coiaplaint it appears that Thomas P. Morgan and G, Reinchardt carricd on business at Washing. ten as commission agents and were bed ER by tie defendants in that capacity. uring tue period in question they chartered the salvor to the goverument, and the earn. Ings amounted to about, $07,000; thay charged five + cent commission for their services tn procuring charter. In the month of February Morgan ineliardt assigned their claim to the plaintin, who ts Une assignee of their estate. The deience is pay- Ment and general scitlement of account and ilegaitty of contract, Which it is contended cannot be sus- tataed, The action is somewhat peculiar, as it in- yolves a question whether commission s: id be al- lowed or paid for services in chartering vessels to the government. Similar cases have come up already With varying results and views as to the law, A mo- tion to dismiss the complaint on the ground of jile- Bality of contract was denied.

COURT OF OYER AND TERMINEA, The Casey Marder Trial—The Prisoner As- =v saults His Friend in Court—Verdict of Guilty and Sentence of Lnprisoument for Lifes * Before Judge Ucorge G. Barnard, The People, &e., vs. Richard Casey.—Yesterday ‘the trial of Richard Casey, charged with the murder, under atrocious circumstances, of William Connell, on the night of January 4, at (he corner of Bayard street and the Bowery, was resumed. This was is second trial, the jury on the former occasion having fated to agree. Once after their retirement they re- turned into the court and had agreed upon a verdict of guilty in the first degree, but before they had announced the verdict the prisoner's counsel asked the court to instruct them that if there was any doubt in their minds as to the fact of the alleged robbery of the prisoner by deceased or his compan- fons the prisoner was entitled to the benefit of such doubt. The court thus instructed them and they re- tired, remaining cut twenty-five hours and fatiing to agree. Eleven were for a verdict tn the first degree and one for a verdict tn the second, Yesierday Dr. Washburn, of the City Hospital, tes- tifed in relation to the nature of the wounds that had been inflicted in the head of the deceased, There ‘were two wounds produced by the Pale buliets, both at the back part of Connell’s head and within a short disiance of each other, Thomas McCarty, a witness who was examined on the previous trial, waa also called, and his evidenced Aifiered in no material respect from that given by bia before. The witness did not see the inception of the altercation between the prisoner and the de- ceased; witness passed the parties at the time of the murder and the hat of the deceased was off; witne: stopped on the corner and looked back, and saw the isoner draw a revolver from his pocket, point It at ceased and fire; deceased fell into the gutter, and Witness ran up the Bowery; heard @ second pistol @h tnd returned with a policeman, ‘yhe defence had no witnesses to produce in the priscucr’s behalf, and his counsel, ex-Judge Stewart, @ecupied nearly three hours in summing Hi? for the omer, basing his entire argument on the theory a robbery iad been attempted upon Caney by une)! or the courtezans who accompanied him, On titis point, however, there was not a single pa: ticle of evidence to support the argument, and the entire ag ah Ped he bed fictitiona ever in- ‘Vented by over zealous counsel. AS the gloae of Mr, Stuart's address the court took ‘ s . NEW YORK The friend who was assaulted had, at the prisoner’s the day in endeavorin, request, been engaged dart tolind ‘Witnesses who would. testify in his (Casey's) favor, He returned and reported to Casey that he had been unable to procure any’ the prisoner became incensed, charged his friend with being unfaithful in. his efforts and assailed him as described above, On the eosornbaing of the court at half-past two o'clock Assistant District Attorney Hutchings asked the court that the prisoner be surrounded by a guard of Sheriff's oMicers, which was complied with. Mr. Hutchings then proceeded to close the case for the Bepeecus jon in @ powerful argument against the risoner, ‘The court, at the close of Mr. Hutchings’ address, charged the jury in a brief and concise manner, urging upon them the gravity of the duties devolving upon them, They were to render a verdict upon the evidence, and the evidence only, discarding from their consideration entirely every element of a fic- titious or theoretical character on behalf of the prose cution or defence, but giving, of course, due weight to all questions of doubt which might arise their minds, But | they were be discrimiating also as between the actual definitions of doubt and of sympathy, a3 ite be find no plate here, The court then detined Ure conditions under which the various de- ree8 of murder might be arrived at, and said that hey could find the prisoner guilty in any of the de- grees of manslaughter. But as tie court understood these sections of the statute, they had no application to this case, and it was not, therefore, necessaty to definethem, At the conclusion of the charge by the court the {ry retired (half-past three o’clock P, M.) and were in deliberation until a quarter to six o’clock. Upon coming into court the jury announced, Soe its foreman, that they had found the prisoner guilty of murder in the second degree. Assistant District Attorney Hutchings then moved that Immediate sentence be pronounced, and the prisoner being taken to the bar of the court was asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed on him, Casey then addressed the court at some length, stating that he had been engaged in business as a watchmaker, and that on the night of the murder he was robbed by one of the two girls who were with Connell, It was known, as he (prisoner) was a resi- dent of the Sixth ward, by the thieves, prostitutes and pickpockets of that section, that he frequently had numbers of watches and other valuables about him, and on three previous occasions he had been assaulted and robbed, and that was why he carried a pistol about him, After soe further remarks in this vein he said that he was a lone man in this attair and was opposed by a crowd of the friends of Con- nell, who beionged to “Skit” Gallagher’s gang, and had not been able to secure the attendance of wit- hesses who knew all about the case and could have testified in regard to his (prisouer’s) character as an honest and industrious man. He had acquired by hard work a little property in his life and now ft was. all swept away from him. He was robbed of it all and had now nothing. While he was much obliged to the jury for having taken pity on him, he would, ; 6 gallows, now that med to he pecu- ‘act of his prefer ence for this ignoble death, as he imadce use of the remark no less than three times to the court. Judge Barnard then proceeded to pronounce sen- tence, reverting to the fact of the prone ‘row escape from conviction of murder in the first degree on the former trial, and stating that he bad never, in his many years of experience, seen a clearer case of murder’ against a prisoner than this, ‘There was a slight doubt in the case and the jury, as kind and considerate gentlemen, had given him the benefit of it. The prisoner had the richt tf he chose to bring witnesses to prove his character, but had he done so the prosecution was prepared to give him a character that he litte dreamed of, In pursuance, therefore, of the duty devolving upon hit he wouid pronounce as the sen- tence of the court that the prisoner be imprisoned in the State Prison at Sing Sing at hard lavor for the terin of his natural life. Would sooner be hung. The court—That is the sentence. Prisoner (sarcastically(—That is the longest you could give me? The court—That is the longest sentence I can give you. The prisoner, who was evidently dissatisfied, was then manacied and taken to the Tombs and the court adjourned. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Sentences. Before Judge Russel.

Bleecker, of 246 lots in the neighborhood | of the Park, being a portion of the estate of the late Mrs, Sarah Talman, comprising the block of ground (sixty-four lots) bounded by Fifty-eighth street, Fifty-ninth street and Sixth and avenues; a tract of fifty-four lots on the block bounded by Fifty-seventh and Fifty- eiguth streets and Sixth and Seventh avenues; the block of ground (sixty-four lots) bounded by Sixty-seventh and Sixty-eighth streets and Tenth and Eleventh avenues; the block of ground (sixty- four lots) bounded by Sixty-eighth and Sixty-ninth streets and Tenth and Eleventh avenues, together with the double frame dwelling house thereon, the homestead of the late Mrs. John H. Talman, and the modern four story brown stone dwelling house, with basement and under cellar and lot, No. 34 West Eighteenth street; house 25x60.1 feet deep, ‘with party walls; lot 91.2 deep; and by Johnson & Miller of over two hundred lots on the Grand Sackett Street Drive, the proposed Ridge Boulevard, and bordering Pros- pect Park east and west, Brooklyn—came off as an- nounced, attracting large crowds to the auction mart. The previous history of both sections forms a marked contrast to its present condition, That of the Central Park property is thus related:— “On a cold December evening in the year 1848 two elderly gentlemen were seated in a snug little house on the outskirts of our great metropolis, New York, said house standing some blocks below where the Fifth Avenue Hotel now stands. The subject under discussion was real estate and the ivevitable growth of the city. opinion and a warm argument, and the conclusion of the conversation was an offer of Mr, A. to sell Mr. B. a farm he had ‘way out of town,’ for the sam of “$6,500. Mr. B. agreed to examine it next day and to decide, He did so, and indignantiy told Mr. A. that the would not it, that it was dear at any rice, that tt was covered with large rocks and deep gullies, and that there was not pasture for one cow on it?” It is unnecessary to go so far into the past to cali attention to the rapid increase in value of the Prospec! k lots, as every one can recall the time when that section was ava ren waste far beyond the ken of even the most ex- travagant speculators, Never this season has the Exchange been so crowded a3 {t was yesterday, the combined attractions of Prospect Park and Central Park lots having drawn together the capitalists, speculators and real estate its of both cities, who congregated in such numbers as almost to suggest the idea of some grand mass meeting be- ing on the tapis, connected with matters of absorbing public interest, such as iim. peachment, the appointment or removal of an obnoxious ,ad interim or the — blowing Eo of Congress, @ la Guy Fawkes, with nitro-glyce- rine. Although twelve o'clock was the hour set for the sales to commence, those interested in their pro- gress commenced assembling long before that hour, filling the room from end to end when tiat time was reacled—a densely ked crowd, strugyling for pranean points of observation and eagerly pressing forward tothe stand of A. J. Bleecker, which was “for this day only” at the extreme end of the room, or that of Johnson & Miller, as their inclination and pre- dilections urged them, It seemed to many as though a divided allegiance was presented for their judgmem, and the problem “under which king, Benoznia ?” demanded a solution, However, a decision was reached; neither party had reason for dissatisfaction; the space in front of each desk being Suen ce by earnest and determined bidders, who offered prices encouraging both to owner and factor. Messrs, Johnson & Mil- ler’s sale occupied about three hours, all the property put up by them being disposed of to bona Jide pui chasers, who seemed anxious to get hold of it, an at prices exceeding the anticipations of the owner: Messrs. A. J. Bleecker, Son & Co.'s sale continued to halt-past five o’clock, and was equally satisfactory. Below will be found the particulars of bot sales, ag weil as of others that occurred yesterda BY A. J. BLEECKER, SON AND CO.
