SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. A Complicated Divorce CaseWhat Effect in ‘This State Has a Decree of Divorce Granted by an Indinna Court ¢ Before Judges Clerke, Sutherland and Barnard, Emma Hofman, Plaintig’ and Respondent, vs. William Hégfmant, Defendant ana Appetian,—This action was instituted for divorce a vinculo matri- moni, on the ground of the alleged adultery of the defendant with: divers persons, The parties were married in 1865, in December, and have one child ag the issue of that marriage, In April, 1857, the defendant, the husband, instituted an action in Howard coum‘y, Indiana, for divorce from his wife, this plaintiff, on the ground of heradultery with one Hezekiah L., Monroe, at the Grinnel House, in this city. ‘The testymony was taken by commis- sion, and on the report of the Commissioner the In- diana court granted to this defendant a decree of absolute divorce from lus wife Emma. Mr. Hoff- in his proceeding before the court in Indiana, furnished what was deemed proper proofs of his baving resided the requisite time in that State. Sub- sequent, however, to the granting of the decree in his .avor, his wife, this plaintiif, commenced a suit before that court to set aside the ju nt against her on the round of frend obtaining it, alleging that no service of summons in the action had been made upon her in this city, and that the defendant, her husband, had never been a resident of the State of Indiana. The evi- dence adduced on that trial was very conflicting, particularly as to his residence in that State, but the jury rendered a verdict in tavor of the plaintif, Mra. Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman appealed from the verdict and the court reversed the judgment, thus aitirming the validity of the original decree. Shortly there- after Mr. Hotfman married a Miss Addie Murgith- royd, by whom he had issue seyeral children, Tae pielotul, the original Mrs. Hoffman, then commenced a suit against nim for divorce a mensa et thoro, alleging adultery against defendant with Adde Murgithroyd, and that he was living in open and adulterous intercourse with her; also sei- ng up condonation by him of the adultery alleged by him in his Indiana suit, and claiming that io any event the decree of that court in his favor was in- valid and obcained fraudulently, ‘The case was tried before Justice Joseph T. Barnard, at the Circuit, and judgment rendered tn favor of this plamtit, and, asa consequence, decreemg his marrage with Miss diurgithroyd as invalid, From that judgment this is now taken, ‘The questions raised are mainly as to the effect of the decree of the Indiana court m this State, the condonation alleged by plaintiff aud a minor ques- ton as to alimony. The defendant, of course, claims that the+jndg- ent of acourt in Indiana regularly obtaince allirmed on appeal mus( stand, and that tue cou of this State have not jurivdiction to invalidate the records of the courts of another commonwealth. The principle involved is interesting from a legal point of view, as Well a3 in its at, upon future and 1n fact many existing decrees of divorce granted by the Indiana courts. At the close of the argument the Court took the papers, reserving its decwion. acs Important Decision. Wiliam McKinley vs, the American Exchange Bank,.-—Judge McVunn rendered tie following judg- Ment in this case:—This is an action for damages for defacing a note by the paying teller of the bank writing on the face thereof the words “payment stopped” in pencil as an answer to ademand of pay- ment on the day it became due. It is admitted in the complaint that the writing complained of was made on the day of the maturity of the uote, and the evidence ts that the day previous to its maturity payment had been stopped, so that we have the un- disputed fact that on that day the character of the note was Mixed, and subsequent purchasers must take it subject toall equities. The writingon the face did not in any wise change the condition of the parties to the instrament er diminish ite value. 1t ‘was the record of a fact which any purchaser had a right to know, and the concealment of which, if it had not so recorded, would have afraud upon such purchaser. writing of the words “payment stopped” on a note P rable ata bank simply announces the intention of the mal that his funds in that bunk shall not be applied to the payment of the paper, and does not nece discredit the note nor umport that he will not pro- vide for it at some other place, especially when wé take into consideration that the defendants’ bank was merely the —_ of the maker, and as such agent could not sued as long as it digclosed its principal. This is a weil establisned rule of law. Again, the endorsement in pencil of the words complained of dues not affect the liability of the maker or endorsers. Desu ig or defacing a writ- ten contract does not affect the liability of the, par- ties to it. Had the bank even destroyed the note the remedy Of the holder would not have n aifect in the slightest degree, and even then the remedy must be against tue maker, not the bank; and to entitie them to recover they had only to prove its destruction and contents. ia the doctrine laid down im Hdwards on Bills, 302, adhered through ail the . a8 valuabié for the purposes the words were never written upon it. the valye of the tstrument or its not by the act of the defendant in on the note tented Maren consist tn notice to an intended Purch it the maker h stop) its payment. Now, from ali other considerations, good faith aud common honesty would have required the piaintt( to disciose to any purchaser that peyment i been stopped as soon as that fact was communicated to him; and ib would be stretching the rule, indeed, to hold the defendant liable for giving » notice which common honesty required the plamtif him- self to give. There is another reason why this piain- tm cannot recover. The plaintid’s testimony ts that he purchased the note in good faith before it was dne. This Poe ted his right. of action against the Inaker and endorsers, Who were, upon his own showing, perfectly solvent at the time the note came due, and continued so long after; and piatntit® not having exiausted his remedy im this respect tuis action nimat fail. fhe whole theory in favor of a re- covery in this case would seem more like a broad joke than a serious argument, when you reflect that ‘the plainti® could have removed the marks. They were sitaply pene marks and might have’ been taken of in the easiest possible manner. If the defendant had ne right to place them there the piaintir Si had a right to remove tiem, ment mue dadg- dered for the ‘efendans, is ment of a chattel mortgage on certain ft wh ee | hay ge her purchase of such tt d eturning of he une Su parts of an agreement ie uurpore yf FZcping a house of ill pony 4 it was rah © Was to pay tor w ir out-ol ofits of the business.

The plainti® had accordingly no cause of action. Decisions. Judge Barbour rendered jndgment in the following cases this morning: — Laland va. Tatlaservo,—Vojunction dissolved, with ton doliars costs.

Bosworth, of No. 34 Fourth avenue. The robbery was generally attriouted 10 the nimble hands of some suopilfter. Yesterday afternoon the accused was, seen in or about the Bible House by the sartorial artist who made the coat for the complainant, and he hurriedly apprised him ol esley f the fact; hence the arrest. When was searched at the Fifteenth precinct station house by the oiticer who had him in c! ye, and prior to his arraignment at the court, there was found upon him @ loaded revolver, which was exhibited to Justice Dodge.

Works Destreyed—The Loss Larger Than nt First Supposed—The Insurance, The insurances officials were yesterday actively employed in investigating ihe amount of damage sus- tained in the fire of Tuesday night in the art gallery of Mr. Derby, No. 680 Broadway, and it is now thought that the loss will exceed the figures namea in the HERALD yesterday. The most valuable work destroyed was Rother- mel’s great historical painting, entitled “A Re- ception at the White House in the Time of Lin- coin,” @ work upon which he had spent three years of labor, and which was intended as a corm- union picture to Huntington’s “Republican Court in the Days of Washingion.” The subject selecied wes a reception at the second ration of Presi- dent Lincoln, and so well had Rothermel succeeded in the distribution of prominent figures in groups, skilial contrast of colors and’ the introduction of speaking portraits of the 1ost prominent American statesme! ta, generais and ladies, that the pic- me attracted much attention.

But disappotatment met even the most sangaine; for, after all, the aunoyance of the bare streets of the city, only made evdurable by the anticipation of a better prospect, the hope that Atlantic avenue, at least, would provide decent sport, were s00n broken, and many turned back, djsgusted at the speedy disap- Pearance of the snow.

The only efficient protec- tive laws, he iusisted, that could be and trey should be rigidly enforced as well as passed—would be to proliibit its sale altogether except for medicinal purposes, and competent medical certificates of its need veluy re- quired.
