Judge Blatchford pronounces a long and most laborate opinion, in which he holds that the execu- tion was made and procured by William Secor with- out the consent or knowledge of Black, and that he ‘was insolvent or contemplating insolvency, and that ‘the Sheriff must pay back the proceeds of the sale to ‘the assignee, to be used for the benefit of all the ereditors of the estate. What Constitutes Fraudulent Preferences? Important Question. In the Matter of Seymour, Pearless @ Sands— Yn this case a question of much interest to the mercantile world—as to what amounts to fraudu- lent preferences—has been raised, and referred, ‘by order of the court, sitting in bankruptcy, to three referees. The facts, as stated by Edwin dames, counsel for the creditors, who now claim goods to the amount of $30,000 as the property of the creditors under the Bankrupt law, are:—A house in Manchester, England, sent the goods here to the firm of Seymour, Pearless & Sands, who, being in- solvent at the time, transferred the goods to the agent of the English firm in this city, who, it is al leged, knew of their insolvent condition. It is con- tended that upon the basis of the Bankrupt law such goods can be recovered for the benefit of the credit- ors, although by the State law such a transaction might be valid. ‘Testimony was given before the referees substan- tiating these facts. Messrs. Brown, Hall & Vander- poel, Butters & Parsons and Ward & Whitehead rep- resent the various parties, SUPREME ‘COURT—CIRCUIT—PART 3. Pyrotechnics and HorticulturemThe Seventy- ninth Street Explosion. Before Judge Balcom. William M. White vs. The Mayor, é@c., af New York.—PlaintitY sued to recover damages for injury ‘to his property, and alleged that in May, 1863, he was engaged in business at Seventy-ninth street and avenue A, as a florist and botanist. A firm under the name of Dows & Johnson had a place of busi- ness in the immediate vicinity, and had obtained a permit from the city authorities to keep gunpowder stored on their premises, On the 11th day of May, 1863, about six and a half tons of powder which was in this storehouse or magazine exploded, doing considerable injury to various surrounding pro- perty, and among others destroying that of the plaintiff It appeared that “White had a large quantity of rare exotics and valuable indigenous plants in his conservatory, which, to- ether with the greenhouse, were almost wholly lestroyed, and for this injury he sued to recover compensation. It was shown in evidence that the ‘Plainti® had sent to Mayor Opdyke regarding the storage of the powder in that locality, and thata committee which was appointed to inspect the Premises had, prior to the explosion, reported that no danger was to be apprehended. It was urged as a defence that the city could not ‘be held liable, as the street had not been opened, and ‘was not, in fact, in existence at the time of the ex- plosion. Plaintiff! produced a map of an official survey, showing that the street had been laid out and lanned prior to 1863, although it was not cut through the river. The court dectded, as a point of law, that this de- fence was no bar to a recovery, and’ directed the fury to assess the plaintiffs damage. The jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of $5,139 20. Twenty days Were allowed the defendants to make a case on appeal to the General Term, + SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. “The Japanese Acrobatic Troupe—Som ething That Is Not “All Right.” Before Judge Cardozo. George S. Fisher vs. Thomas Magutre.—Pilaintift ‘was in 1866 United States Consul at Yokohama, Japan, and the defendant is well known as the manager of the Imperial Japanese Troupe of Acro- bats, of which little “All Right was a member. The plaintif alleges that in November, 1866, an agree- ment was entered into at Yokohama, in the District of Kanagawa, Japan, between W. F. Scheidt, Dewitt ©. Brower, Edward Banks and Richard R, Risiey, whereby they became copartners for @ perked of two years ina travelling exhibition of Japanese gymnastic and legerdemain feats. The company of artists was composed of native Japanese, and the copartners were to share pro rata in the ey and losses of the enterprise. The gross cap- ital of the concern was $100,000, divided into thirt two shares, of which Bower owned sixteen, Risley six, Banks, five and Scheidt three. The remaining two shares were to be devoted to the equipment and other expenses of the company. ‘The company gave performances throughout the United States for a period of nearly two years, and the copartnership has since expired, Plaintiff’ now seeks an accounting of the proceeds of the enterprise, claiming that he is entitied to $2%,000 in gold, the par value and propor- tiop of profits of eight shares in the concern, which Biys Were transferred to him out of the’ shares “owned by Brower, By the laws of Japan a native who leaves the country voluntarily is proscribed, and is vented ever afterward from returning, and srer contends that these eight shares were trans- ferred to him in consideration of his services in in- ducng the Japanese authorities to grant a special Pernit to these native performers to japan withthe privilege of returning. Thtdefence interposed is that this contract betwecn Fisher and Brower is against public policy and votd, on the ground that a Consul, representing the United States in a foreign country, has no authority to use his intuence tn_his official capacity for the further. ance of his individual interests and profits, and that $10,00 had been already received by Fisher, in full constleration of all his right, ttle and interest in the e\terprise. After argument by counsel the court took te papers, reserving its decision.

Mr. Rapailo desired to know if this order referred to the hearing of arguments on the petition of the At- torney General, and the injunction at the suit of the Aug General, which the court answered affirma- ively. ‘The case then stood adjourned utti] Saturday.

The gross clearings amounted to $57,959,000, the gold balances to $2,333,558 and the currency balances to $3,299,287. It was rumored that the government was selling gold to a moderate extent, but this was not con- firmed. Considerable sales were made for cash by parties requiring currency, and coin was borrowed in some instances upon securities in order that it might be realized upon in this manner. The stringency in the money market was more decided than yesterday, and it was evidently due mainly to artificial in- fluences. The demand was sharp at seven per cent on call, and there were not a few cases in which this rate in gold was paid to private bankers. The trans- actions of the bear party in Erie, headed by the speculative director, have resulted inthis derange- ment, and it is estimated that about six millions have been locked out of circulation by them, The Erie Company is understood to have drawn nearly the whole of its balance from its bankers in this city, and this was unusually large owing to its including some of the proceeds of the recent sale of ten millions of con- vertible bonds, which are supposed to have been con- verted into stock on Monday under cover of the order issued by Judge Gilbert, of the Supreme Court, Second Judicial district. That the heavy sales of Erie on that day were of new stock into which these bonds had been converted admits of no doubt. An incident transpired this morning which afforded conclusive evidence that artificial means were being resorted to for the purpose of pro- ducing a monetary pinch. The Tenth National Bank found itself credited with more than three millions of dollars at the Clearing House, and the bank explained that this large balance to its credit was caused by Messrs. Fisk & Belden making very heavy deposits and then drawing certified checks against them which were not used; and in this connection the following note from the president. of the bank to Messrs. D. Groesbeck & Co. explains itself, while it ‘exposes the modus operandi of the bears:— TENTH NATIONAL BANK, New Yorx, March 11, 1868, Messrs. DAVID Gro K & Co.—This morning this bank found itself credited at the Clearing House several millions of dollars more than the ordinary transactions of this bank justify. The large bulance to our credit in the Clearing House was caused by Messrs. Fisk & Belden making very heavy deposits in two days of over $3,000,000. ‘The certified checks drawn against the above were with- held from passing through the Clearing House. To- day, during my temporary absence to the California steamer to sce a member of my family off, | find that a clerk in your employ deposited the said checks and took certificates of deposit for the same, This is com- pelling the bank to hold $3,625,000 at our risk, and aiso Placing the bank before the community as aiding c tain parties to lock up money so as to make an artifi- cial tight money market. Not wishing to see this bank occupy so faisé a position before this community, a are requested to withdraw the above deposits. Yours respectfully, J. B. DICKINSON, President Tenth National Bank, New York. The practice on occasions like the present of lock- ing up money is indefensible, and no bank should countenance it, directly or indirectly, and the one in question has set a good example in this respect. The disturbance resulting from it is not confined to the railway share market, but extends to all the channels of business both in and out of Wall street. ‘The stock market has been heavy under the ad- verse influences affecting it, and the fluctuations in. Erie were from 77 to 74. The bull party sustained it moderately well, all things considered, but they evidently find their task harder than they at first anticipated. The sale of fifty or sixty thousand shares of new stock on Monday was an unexpected blow, and the prevailing monetary stringency was equally unlooked for, The order granted by Judge Gilbert was in direct opposition to that previously issued by Judge Barnard, and as a strategic movement on the part of the speculative director and his party it answered ail the purposes for which it was sought. The Erie case came up for argument before Judge Barnard this morning, but was by him adjourned until Saturday next, and yesterday the litigation in the case was further complicated by an injunction issued by Judge Cardozo on the complaint of John Bloodgood against the Erie party. Last night the Erie Company vacated their ofMices in this city and removed to the Long Dock depot, New Jersey, taking their effects with them. The directors, including Mr. Drew, also with- drew to the same spot in order to be beyond the juris- diction of the courts of this State, The reason given for taking the money belonging to the company also beyond their jurisdiction is the desire to guard against its attachment. The contest is evidently a very bitter one, and both sides express equal deter- mination and are equally sanguine of success, The decline in Rock Island was owing to the accident to the company’s bridge across the Mississippi and con- siderable sales supposed ‘to be made by the leading bear in Erie.
