Whe Profits of the Insurance Brokerage Busi- \peseA Bankrupt Jtefused Ifis Discharge lund Declared by the Judge to Have Sup- pressed His Property and Swern Falsely— Curious Revelations—Important Decision. — Before Judge Blatchford. Judge Blatchford yesterday: morning rendered a Guost important decision in the’ case of Robert C. e, The specifications for trial tn this case in position to the discharge of the bankrupt are ‘the seventh and eighth. With regard to these udge. Blatchford did not think’‘there was any jevidence to sustain the averments of ‘the fifth ‘specification, namely, that the bankrupt 1s entitled to the two lots in Sixty-third street, New York. | As the th specification the evidence shows that bbnkrupt fs not and never was the owner of any ‘one of the life insurance policies mentioned ee te ition is ‘that the of Hainwone: non priors & 6 a ‘ae ald bankrupts and as’ so continued under lis and ion to the resent time, the net profits are now About $35,000 per year; that sald rate e CO eet bales a0. n clerk and 1 ts of Bal enor ‘i ary, ‘which amounts to about $3,400 ville his said by snnum, wile nies Laden Pil Gey itn! of the what exce| cl of $100. ‘The decision then er into erevie e383 ions. of the bi value ‘of the busin business, z 500 per year. On the 1st of November, 1863, , the business with him pa Henry C. Seward, Theodore H. Knox William ©. Greig, the bankrupt le with the firm as clerk. In this firm Aaron H. Rathbone was interested in fits to the extent of three-tenths, Sew- three-tent! Knox two-tenths and Gre! two-tenths. Greig paid $8,000 to Aaron 5 Rathbone for the two-tenths interest in the profits of ‘the firm. The profits of the firm were, onan average, 35,000 year. About the ist October, 1866, nox withdrew from the firm, selling out his two- tenth interest to the wife of the bankrupt for 4,000, which she paid to Knox. Since that time she has claimed and received two-tenths of the profits of the business, althongh she has not personally rendered any services in the business. ‘The profite since she came into the firm have averaged $35,000 per year. At the time the bankrupt’s wife so went into the = a written agreement was made between the frm d the bankrupt under which the bankrupt has from that time been in receipt of one-tenth of the be of the business as a salary or compensation for his services. Thus he and his wife together re- ceived out of jet rm of the firm, to the making of which they contributed nothing but the personal ser- vices of the bankrupt, three-tenths of such proiis, being a share amounting to $10,500 per year. Now, although the money which the bankrupt’s wife paid to Knox for the privilege of receiving the two-tenths share in the $35,000 profits per annum may have been her own individua! money, inherited by her from deceased relatives, it is impossible not to see through their thin disguise whereby the bank- . Tupt has, in fraud of his creditors, been really a part- ner in the firm, receiving for his personal exertions in the business three-tenths of the profits, being the sum of $10,500 per annum, the manipulation being attempted to be eifected-by putting one-tenth in the shape of a salary to himself and two-tenths in the shape of an interest owned by his wife. The firm had no benefit from any services, , or, money,” or capital, or property of the wife. The money id by the firm to the wife for the two-tenths was paid to her, in fact, as trustee for her husband, certainly as against his creditors, and there can be no difliculty of its being reached by the assignee in bankruptey for the beneiit of those erediiors, The firm paid the entire three-tenths which the bankrupt and his wife received solely for the personal services of the bankrupt. The frm re- ceived no other consideration for the threestenths but ‘the personal services of the bankrupt; the re alone earned the two-tenths, which went to the wife, and it must be regarded asia gift by him to her in fraud of his creditors, and as property held by her m 2 for al she — hd earl " house Fort Washingto: for which she pai 11, and two lots in Sixty-thied sirect, nd the pert Sonal property and furniture in the house. ‘The bankrupt resides with her, and they and their St $10,000 a year in a style of living shown by the @ year in a style of livi wn by the evidence, as to servants, horses aud 4 ly by the bankrupt to and debts, ao ceed ay Eee all in judgment, amount to over The ification is si oved, and the facts set | pr in ft and shown by the testimony to exist bi case within several of the grounds for wit ding @ discharge set forth im tue twenty-ninth section.

The pistol shot which caused the death of Mr. Frazer was fired by Mullady in the conrse of a melce.in which the defendants, the deceased and the deceased's barkeepor, Abiel Swift, ‘were all more gp less involved, arising out of # dis- pute as to the right of Freeman to place & quantity of Machinery in the cellar forming the basement of the remises occu! by deceased. Freeman, it ap- Dears iad orp the ‘bellar and claimed @ right of way through Frazer's premises. ‘The other defend- were in the employ of Freeman, In his opening address to the jur, John H. Anthon, counsel for the defence, referring to the fact that all the defendants had been arrested and with the homietde, but never brought to trial, it was a singular fact that the principal witness called for the piaintiif on the py ing day should be: pao Srey (Muilady) whose hands were imbrued with the of the plaintif’s deceased husband, and that he should have been arrested on the charge shortly after the murder and never yet brought to trial, h the deed was committed nearly two ago. It was a remarkable commentary upon the administra. tion or obstruction of the inw by the ofleers upon whom the duty of exeouting it devolved. He did not know why ft was so in this case, but the with ee gent who was associated Mr. 1e ane who was to some extent connec! with the Di Attorney, could give some dnforma- gS on the subject 4 an, tified to some of the incidents of the affair, was ex- amined and testified that he returned from Philadel- hia on the yicel aa the Sth of July, 1866, and was evened from putting the machinery” into the vent mm pul he eeiar, a8 instractions to do and had been “whipped” on the Preceding evening by Fraser and ‘aters} Ryan said that some one had drawn & knife and to cut him; was with Ryan ere in Cedar street on the morning of the 6th, and met Mullady, ‘who asked Ryan where he was going: Ryan said he going to out @ Warrant at the ‘Tombs, and gaid it was no use going to the Tombs as saree wiing would not issue a warrant against 156 Fuiton st; witness wanted to know what was the sit. ‘uation of aflairs at No. 186 and went down there; told Mullady before arriving therethat if they attacked him “he must not ran aways when I got there I saw that the grating over the “dummy” was locked; ‘I asked if there was anything I could take that lock off with, and Mullady handed me a crow- bar that was with-the machinery on the sidewalk; 1 ‘and I went into the which was low any one down stairs; I then went up again to the bea after telling Frazer that the red 4 ‘was mine ai the cellar also, and that I want put the ma- chinery down stairs; I then sent Ryan in to go down and see if the machinery got down allright by the “dummy;” I was using the crowbar to get the ma- ehinery on the “dummy;’?

The Fernando Wood Leases—Motion to Set Aside a Stay of Proccedings. Before Judge Barnard. The Mayor, éc., vs. Fernando Wood et «l.—This case came up again yesterday on a motion to set aside a stay of proceedings granted by Judge Suth- erland, pending an appeal to the General Term from an order made by Judge Cardozo settling the issues in the case. Mr. George Shea, in behalf of the de- fendant Wood, contended that the order made by Judge Cardozo in the case was not appealable and that the stay pending the appeal should be set aside. The defendant was ready for trial on Monday last and the stay was served suddenly. It was irregular and improper that the defendants should be stayed when the cause was on the day calendar for trial, It was injurious to Mr. Wood to have the action pending and to Continue tii€ present uncertainty as lo the lease of the premises in questo mn. Mr. I. T. Williams opposed the motion fn an argu- ment of considerable length, and was followed on the same side Mr. O'Gorman, Corporation Counsel. Judge Barnard, in granting the order, said:—I am here solely for the purpose of taking charge of the interests of the different litigants before me. In re- ‘ard to the order to show cause it was granted at he uest of one who thought it was proper it should be granted. As to the time, that rule was en- tered for the benefit of the court and not for the benefit of the lawyers, and if the court ts satisfied that a case has assumed such a character that it would justify the hearing of a motion to set aside an order on a notice short of eight days it can do it. This case was re- sented, under pecuilar circumstances, some time since, and the defendant Wood was charged with buying the Common Council and Mr. Gunther, according to common rumor, to get them to sign this lease. Certain jegal proceedings were taken. The defendant, being desirous that the charges made against him should be tried in a court of justice, made an SE for a mandamus. That motion was heard by the Judge who now sits here, while Bll in Chambers, on the total failure of fraud or information of kind on the part of the people that the defendant Wood had done ening, wrong, the mandamus was granted. On the Monday follow: ing that mandamus was set aside. Afterwards the plaintif’s counsel moved on his own account for the settlement of issues to try this question. It was his own motion, made at his own proper time, before the proper tribunal, and that motion was granted, pn age | the ideas of justice and the to ro ret, the Judge who gave his decito \. +f bel en, sorereae that these charges, whether true or false, should be tried before a jury, it became ry to get delay. The last General Term had necessal eet decided ‘that these issues were not alable. Knowing that (being one of the justices who helped pose that bench), of course a stay by any one "i at een ees ee is asl wi e de- be py Md hav! hea Ma 9d until 7 ane a8 it shoul qneral ‘m. wait for the General would be idle, they would not retrace their i 80 hrilich they Gid tn the month of April,_and two of tho cl wo judy who amMrmed that tiecinfon "will compose a 1001 mould be set aalde rommptiy. At there ould le im} G are the thesg charges tt is wicked highest that the defendant should be kept laboring oe em and that he should be deprived of his money. There- fore you shail take your order.
