Before Judge Sutherland, E. BE. Norton, Assignee of Jacod Barker, vs, New York Oil Company.—This was a suit brought by the venerable Jacob Barker (who appeared by the proof to be over ninety years of age) of New Orleans, by his assignee in bankruptcy, against the New York O11 Company of this city for $5,000, Ethan Allen, counsel for plainti, Jacob Barker, set forth the facts to be that in 1867 Jacob Barker, at New Orleans, loaned the defendant $5,000, and received his acceptance, payatie in sixty days, which was protested—Jacob Barker, in the mean- me, one into bankraptcy, his asalguee brought 18 Bul Mr. Allen proved the assignment in bankropioy, by faogsniie & ony of the assignment m bank- ruptcy made in New Orleans, duly certified by the Clerk of the United States District Court of Louis- fana, under the seal of that court, which mode of proof was strictly in accordance with the Bankrupt a et. Dudiey Field, for the defence, contended that this certificate of bankruptcy by a law that was uncon- stitutional and could not be received in evidence. ‘That under the constitution Congress could not pre- scribe the mode or penne for the State courts of pro- ceedings in United States courts. That Congress, by the act of 1845, had and sone prescribe the man- ner of receiving in evidence the proceedings of the courts in one State in the courts of another State, But Congress was silent as to how proceedings of United States courts should be authenticated for the courts of the several States. That the Bankrupt act, therefore, in prescribing how an assignment in bank- ruptey should be proven in the State courts, to wit, by the certificate of the clerk, was unconstitutional, ‘The Court held that the point of the defendant had much in it worth considering; but that, atter the argument had, ie should admit the proof and leave the constitutionality of the question to be determined hereafter, a8 must Many more of these constitutional questions arising out of the Bankrupt as well as other acts conflicting with our State laws.

The defendant almitted the contract and that he had not fulfilled it, butset up that there were three hundred apple trees, many pear, cherry and plum trees, besides three and a half acres of strawberries and some blackberries, &c, ‘That in their verbal conversations the plaintiff and his agents reiterated these state- ments, and stated beside, that the last occupant had made a fortune of the place, That he signed this contract believing in these representations, but found when he went to the place that there was not one-half the trees and vines represented, and that the last occupant instead of making a fortune, had retired insolvent. He, therefore, claimed back his $1,000 with mterest, and some $150 of expenses in- curred in visiting the place. The plaintit? set up that his representations applied to the whole farm, ot which plaintif? bought only a part, and that he knew tlie fact, and that, at any rate, he had full op- portunity to examine the premises, The case occu- pied several days in the trial, the jury bringing in a verdict for defendant of $1,200.

A large number of cases were disposed of yester- day by Marshal Tooker. Among the interesting ones was that of a hackman who had charged a lady three dollars in specie for being conveyed from the Inman dock to her hotel. The Marshal obliged the Jarvie to refund the difference between one dollar in currency and three dollars in specie and pay in addition thereto a fine of ten dollars. The ¢coachie found the evidence hard against him, and ag the penalty imposed will probably prove to have a salu- tury effect his pame ahd license number are for the present withheld. There were several complaints agaist employers for attempting to defraud hired rsons Out of money actually due them. Marshal looker notified the sinning employers that they must fuldl their obligations, and in response to the dictates of the Marshal's authority the wages earned were handed over and the workmen weut away re- Joicing. Another case came up which shows one phase of metropolitan business life, and in adjudi- cating which THE MARSHAL GETS EXCITED. poor but respectable looking old ladies entered @ complaint against Mesars. Flannerry & Grimths, dry men, of 19 Catharine street, charging that in the purchase gf some dress goods at the store of defendants they been swindled by means of false representations. From tbeir sworn statement it appears that te which they de- sired to purchase were offered thei at the price of three shillings (or thirty-seven and a half cents) a that the purchase and sale were made On that and that when they were paying for the they were charged at the rate of five shillings (or sixty-two aud a half cents) per yard. Marshal ker asked the young man Who appeared as rep- resentative of the firm what he prop to do in the matter. This style of doing wai the Marshal said, was an old Catharine street dodge and was practiced whenever smart storekeepers got hold of people who they thought could not reckon as well as they themselves could. The Marshal suggested that as the complainants had evidently been musied, and he did not believe they, judging trom their appear- ance, would make such @ charge under oath if it were not strictly correct, the storekeepers should just give back the money and the ladies return the 8 or. Flannery (very saucily)—No, sir, I won't do anything of the sort. We ain't a goin’ for to cut our goods for every tom, Dick and Harry that comes Along to jose by 1t; I'll sell them. Pl bring it in some other court; that’s what I'll do, The young Hibernian after getting off the above splurge, started at a brisk gait away from the desk. larshal Tooker cailed him back, and w; evidently very much angered at the impudent style of talk and bearing of the defendant, and said to him:—Now, before you run off in that style, 1 want you to un- derstand just what I say to you. Vil give you another court; perhaps more than you bargained for. J want you to take these goods back and give these ladies their money, and [ want no impudence from you in regard to the matter. ‘The young man seemed io think that he had dis- turbed a horyet’s nest, and undertook to Lyd the matter with the Marshal; but the latter shut him up by saying he wanted no back talk at all, and, calliug to one of the detectives on duty in the office, he ordered him to go with the jadies and see that their money Was retunded and the matter settled. ‘The office was pretty well crowded he time, and when the Marshal announced his sion em- phatically, and ordered the ofiicer to go along and see the matter settied accordingly, there were mur- murs of approvai from a!l present, CROTON AQUEDUCT GOARD, A large number of proposals for contracts for pav- ing and other kinds of public work were to have been opened yesterday morning by this Board, but owing to the absence of the Comptrolier the opening was postponed until Monday next, 17thginst.

THE NEW BOARD OF FIRE ComMISSIONERS.—Since the enactment of the law for tne reorganization and establishment of a paid fre department system for the city of Brooklyn there has been the utmost anxi- ety among the political circles of ex-flremen, who, having graduated in the school of active duty under the olden time fire regime, and having grown to be politicians—or, in other words, being publicly kaown as aspirants to office—are again anxious to return to their. “first love,” since the latter has become one of profit and emoiument. Caucuses have been held upon several occasions by the municipal ofi- cial to whom the power of selecting and appointing the four Fire Commissioners be- longs, and slates have been made aud broken repeatedly, just as the pressure increased or de- creased, p70 and con, in favor or against the favorite candidates of the Lour.
