Inre Elizabeth Dougan,—Mrs, Dougan obtained a writ of habeas corpus to procure the return of her little girl, Who had been givem some years ago to a Mrs. Garvie. ‘The sister of Mrs. Garvin brought the child into court, and in answer to the wit returned that the child was given away by its mother, and had formed strong attachments to those with whom she was living. Judge McCunn, after waiting some time for the respondent’s counsel, asked if there were any doubts: about the claimant being tne mother of the child. The respondent admitted thet she was the mother. ‘The Judge then said that there was no use wailing farther, as but one decision could be made. The child must be returped to its mother; but it should be done gentiy, aud the child might be retained a few days where it pow was to give time for the mo- ther to gain its affection. ‘The child here burst oat erying, and the respond- ent murmured, “That she will never do.” ‘The mother asked leave to speak, and being al- Jowed, declared “that that woman’s sister had re- fused to ever let her see the child or to give her a enance to get its love; had even refused to let her provide clotuing for it.’ ‘rhe Judge here ciecked her, and the other said nothing, but looked volume! Judge MeCunn havin annonneed hts decision, the mother seized the child with some violence, the Court stopped, and sent the parties to the ue room to tlk over the matter, As they went Judge MeCann said this was the most trying cla:s of business and the most unpleasant to him of any, SUPERIOR couat—Tr L TERM. Aged Faise Imprisonment 8 Before Justice Barbour. Join J. Vanderweyde vs. Francis & Loutret.—The plaintifi’s father-in-law was indebted to the dejen- dants in $1,600, and the defendants sued both father and son, and procured an order for the arrest of the son, which was served on him on his very wedding aay, the Sherii’s officers accompanying him to church. The arrest was, however, quietly made. He was discharged on bail that afternoon, and fifteen days after the order of arrest was vacated. ‘The affidavit ou which the arrest was made set out that the defendants in that sult had conspired to cheat the plaintiffs (the defendants in this suit); that the present plaitiif had assumed the debt of his father, and that he was a non-resident. It appears: ‘that while this debt was being contracted the father ‘was in negotiation for a house on Girard avenue, near Fourteenth street, Philadelphia, and that his son had paid a portion of the fgets | money for hi in view of this fact the title was taken to the son. The son subsequentiy made a verbal promise to Francis & Loutrel-to assume or secure his father’s debt, but when about to be married thought he ought not to do so on his wife’s account. ‘he Court, in charging, said the order of arrest could not have been granted on the charge of com- Dining to defraud, and therefore it was on the alle- gations of the assumption of debt and non-residence that 1t was granted, These were true, as the words ‘were usually used, but they were not true in law, as there can be no assumption of another's debt by mere words. The main question, therefore, was whether the defendants, in swearing to this affi- davit, inten‘ied to misiead the court into a false be- lief that they had a cause of action. If they did so they were hable, for it was malice. What was done an execnung tne order of arrest, unless by their ex- ress direction, they were not jiable for. The Eneria’s duties commenced then, and the defendants ‘were not Itabie lor any oppression they might have commitied. ‘The jury found a verdict for plaintiff of $500, MARINE COUNT—PART il. Action Against a Police Captain for False Arrest and Imprisonment. Before Judge Curtis. Joun Fallon vs, Henry Casey and Nathaniel R. afills.—The defendant Mills is Captain of the Eighth precinct, Casey, the co-defendant, @ policeman under hiscommand. ‘he action against them is brought to recover $600 damages for alleged faise arrest and tai- priconment under the following circumstances, as detatied by the defendants themselves, the only wit- nesses examined in the case:— Henry Casey, called, testified that he saw tne plaintity on the afternoon of the isth of April, in Broome street ; arrested him and took him to the Eighth precinct station house, of which the other detendant, Mills, was captain and in charge ; tae plaintuf was committing, and had committed, no offence, no complaint Was made against him; Cap- tain Mills was present at the station house when Casey arrived with the plaintiff as his prisoner; the Jatter was at once taken to the ceils, and was tm- risoned there ail night, and until six o'clock the jext morning, When he was marched to the Jeffer- son Market lolice Court and was committed for ex- amination; later m the day he was brought before Justice Dodge, who discharged him after a careful exaunination of the case; had no warrant for the arrest of the plaintiff; arrested him under orders given by Captain Mills; was a general order given to arrest ail the well known pancl thieves (hat intested the cor- hers of the streets in that neighborhood, Counsel ithe witness to a direct answer as to the Question of arresi, when he admitted that on his ex- atnination before the police justice he said that he arrested the plaintif by “order of Captain Mills.’ Sergeant Schofleld was the sergeant in charge of the station house when witness brought the plaintaf in there, and it was by the sergeant’s order that the plaintiff was confined in a cell. On cross-examination witness saul that Fallon's (the plaintit’s) name was mentioned vy Captain Mills ‘When the re order was given for the arrest of all the well known panel thieves hanging round the corners, Counsel put the question to witness as to whether the plaintiff was not known to the police of it. the precinct a8 one of these well known arties, when Judge Curtis interposed and Pitea out the question, stating that prior Feputation was no excuse for the fiegal arrest ‘or detention of a man when no actual violation of the w had been committed by him or charged against im. ‘Therefore all questions with the intent to establish a prior reputation against the plaimtinr Would not be admitted into the testimony. Counsel for defendant-—Will not this testimony be admitted in faitigation of damages? dudge Curtis—No, Counsel then put several questions to witness with respect to plaints character, occupation and asso lates, all of which were ruled out.

Captain Mulls was called tothe stapd, and testi fied tnat he lad given an order to Casey to arrest all parties against whom he could establisn a charge of vagrancy; had given such an order half 2 dozen Uimes; did not mention or connect Faion’s name with that order, On cross-examination witness sgid he gave no orders or directions with regard to Fallon when he was brought to the station house; believed that the charge was made to Sergeant Schofleld, ‘This closed the testimony on either side, and after summing up by counsel Judge Curtis proceeded to charge wie jury as foilows:— GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY—This action is bronght to recover $500 damages agaist the delendants for an alleged false imprisonment. ‘The facts, as they have been narrated before you, are substantially these:—The piaintur was arrested in midday, with. out a complaint being preferred by a third party, without apy Warrant or process of law, without being detected in the commisston of any offence or the Violation of any iaw; taken toa station house, con- fined there for a period ef time, taken thence betore a police inagistrate, before whom ne tad anexamina- von, and by that police magistrate discharged. Now, this is a case which involves a principle that 13 as near and Gear to you and to all of us as to tl ain- uff in this action. In every act that 1s ley and within the scope of their -authority tne police of this city should be supported, Hot only by the voice of the community, but by the verdict of any jury be- fore whom their conduct is placed for justitication. But ic ts the duty of a jury, where @ policeman steps outside of his authority, to rebuke his usurpation of power and to say to tiie police authorities that they must Keep within the law. It 1s a matter of con- gratujation with regard {9 the Police Board of the Mewo! olan Siar pe that it is composed of men of integrity, Of sagacity, of reputation. But fou, gen- liemen, are to distinctly understand in the first piace that a regulation of the police not sanctioned by an express loiaiative provision of the Commonwealth Js Not biuding and operative as law. Something bas been sala With regard to the antecedents of this plaintif, Now 1am vound to say to you that what- ever may be the antecedents of a man, conceding them to be bad, if you please, he is entatied, when he comes into a court of justice, to Justice, and I ven- ture to express the hope that the day will be far dis- tant When any man shall be deprived of his rights in acourt of justice by excitement, by prejudice or by passion. You are to wy thise case enurciy upon the proof, and if, as was intumated by the counsel for the plaintiff, in the ditverent rulings of the Court upon questions of testimony the Court was in error, relief 15 to be had at the appellate tribunal, Now the ostensible canse of the arrest of tis man was that he was @ vagrant. It was upon that charge he was arrested; npon that charge he was detained? upou that charge he was examined, and it Was upon that charge he was acquitted, Jt was nowhere con- tended, so far as I have been able to learn fromm an exammation of the record, that he was charged with bemg a thief or a roover, The simple charge was that he was a vagrant, and that 1s, In the language of the common aw and un- der the statute, ‘one having no visible means of support.” Mr. Justice Dodge passed upon that question, and be said with regard to that charge that it was not proven, and the complame was dismissed. Now, 1 charge you as matter of law with regard to the charge of vagrancy, that its adjudication by Justice Dodge, so far as the prob- able cause 1s concerned that 13 pleaded in the de- fence im this case, disposes of it aivogether. Itis what tae law terms res ddjgudicaia. Myr. Justice Dodge, a magistrate having competent junsdicdon over the subject matter and over the parties to it, having passed upon that quesilon, has taken it oub of the power of the defence in this case to set it up. "Therefore, I charge you that as matter of law there is no defence whatever to tunis action; that as matter of law that arrest was without warrant of law, without coior of Jaw, and that this —plain- ul’ must recover some damages at your hands, Now, itis contended on the part of the @efendants that but one at least 1s habie; it is contended that as jar as ptain Mills igs concerned this procced- ing mustverminate in his favor. 1t appears from the evidence that officer Casey, Wio 1s a subordinate of Captain Mills, took the plaintii’ into the station house, where Captain Mills had control and authori- ty, and that by direction of Captain Mills this plai tiff was consigned to the ceils In the station Louse. if that be true, then Captain Mills was a party to this outrage, and is responsible also. But with re- gard to the verdict that 18 to be _readered as against these defendants you have a wide discretion. You have the right to give a verdict in any sum within the jurisdiction of this court. With regard to the amount of the verdict, that is a question for you to pass upon. One thing is sure, that there is nothing hearer and dearer to & man than lus personal liberty. One thing is sure, that there 1s nothing that calls more ior the rebuke of a jury and the courts than a wanton deprivation of that liberty. So far as Mr. Casey was conceraed, it seems he — first was acting under a general authority and order of Captam Miuils, and that when he brought the man to the station house the man came under the coutro! and authority of Captain Milis, Casey, so far as the proof is concerned, shows a good char- acter. It lias not been assailed, You must not al- low yourselves to be prejuaiced by any statement of the counsel for the plaintuy with regard to Captain Mills, Whatever his reputation in the community may be, that is not a matter for you to pass upon. He is to siand here, like the piaimtutl, upon the evi- dence. You, as twelve sworn men, are to try the case according to the evidence, You have the power, however, if you so desire, to separate the damages. If you believe tuat Casey is less to blame than Mills you have the rigut to say so by your ver- dict. Ifyou believe Mills to be more to blame than Casey you have the mht to say so by your verdict. In other words, you have the right to render a ver- dict against Casey for six cents and against Milis for 2500. Now, a8 I stated before, there is a prin- ciple involved in this case. It is a principle that you are to pass upon. it has bee no ‘un- common tiung in our streets that citizens of the highest respectability, ef eminence even, have been stricken down under the stroke of the clab. I remember within my own knowledge that one of our first citizens, now a Senator in the State Legis- lature, was arrested in front of bis own house of a summer's evening, was placed in the ceil ina station house, detained over night and set at liberty the next morning. It is the usurpations of power that yon are to punish. Whenever the police di their duty within the scope of their authority and within the pale of the jaw they should be supported, but when they step outside of the paie of their authority and put their hands, without warrant of law, with- out process of law, upon the shoulder of the citizen, then they should be rebuked by a jury of their coun- trymen. Gentlemen, it is such acts of tyranny as these that have caused to believe that we are slowly yet surely on the wave of the civil war tloat- img out to the unknown and unbounded sea of im- perialism. The safety of the people must be with themselves. The jury box of the land must be the sen- try box of the general liberty. I desire that you wiil give this case a careful scrutiny. I first charge you, as | stated before, that go far from any excuse existing here there is none. You must flad a verdict against the defendants. With regard to the amount, that is to be determined by yourselves, but 1 trast it will ba in such an amount as will vindicate the gene- ral right of the citizen to hia liberty, aud as will in- struct those who desire to oppress the cituzen that they cannot do it with impunity. The jury then retiretl, and aiter @ very brief ab- sence came into court, rendering a verdict of six cents damages against Captain Mills and six cents dainages against officer Casey. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Judge Bedford. ROBBERY IN THE FIRST DEGREE. The trial of John Howard, jointly indicted with Wilham Varley and others, charged with robbery in the first degree, was resumed yesterday. Mr. Howe, counsel for the prisoner, subjected Lawrence Graham, the complainant, to a lengthy and rigid cross-examination, but he adhered to the leading tacts brought out by the District Attorney. Thomas Variey, the brother of William Varley, ‘was the first witness examined for the defence. He said he was the barkeeper in the saloon No. 7 Chat- ham square, and that on the night in question the complainant, Brennan and another man entered, Graham beimg very much intoxi- cated; they played cards and had a couple of rounds of drinks, and Graham invited Howard, who called in to see Varley, to have a drink; when the complainant was asked to pay for them he put his hand io his pocket and said he had beea robbed, but could not say by whom; the unknown man pulled him by the neck up to the bar aud said, “1 want you to pay for those drinks; he said, no money,” whereupon the unknown man the drinks; Howard didnot touch Graham at all the whole time he was in there; Wm. Varley came down with @ frien‘t at the time Grabam said he was robbed, Mr. Hutchings cross-examined this witness, and in reply to a question as tothe whereabouts of his brother said that he did not know where he was. Michael Sands, an assistant barkeeper, gave simi- lar testimony, and said that Howard did not touch the complainant. Charles Wentworth testified that about @ quarter to two in the morning Graham accnsed a man who keeps @ saloon at the corner of Catharine and Divi- sion streets with robbing him, John Howard, the accused, was sworn and exa- mined. He said that he had been going to sea since he was fifteen years of age; was arrested in Boston for throwing snowballs on Sunday, and that three years ao he was taken to the station house in China for teing “‘tight,’? and had been in the navy four years, since which time he has been in the merciant ser- vice. He described how te went to Variey's saloon to see Thomas Varley, with whom he became ac- — in the navy; while he was talking with omas Varley Graham and another man came in with Brennan; they played cards and had drinks, and Graham invited him (Howard) to have a drink; when they stood at the bar he kat he had lost his money; the unknown man took hold of him and ‘scratched his neck with bis nails. Howard denied having anything to do with the robbery. After the Ps | up Mat Fret delivered a clear and (mpartial charge. jury retired to de- Nberate upon the case, and alter iifteen minutes’ absence they rendered a verdict of guilty, with a re- commendation to mercy. Assistant District Attorney Hutchings said that if the jury had reudered a verdict of gutity of an as- sault with mtent to rob thé Court could regard the recommendation of the jury, but now that the ver- dict was recorded the Court would have to impose a severe sentence. i remand you for sentence tilt the July term of this court, vecauge there have been or at this term eircumstances which con- vi me that ay attempt 14 being made to put you in the position of a scapegoat, and J think it would be monstrously unjust to send you to the State Prison for a long term, while another, whom ths evidence shows to be implicated with you, is sull at large, ARREST FOR ALLEGED LIBEL. The Grand Jury having jound an indicument against Dantel W. Van Aernam for a libel on Avia A, Selover, of this city, District Atworney Garvin issued warrant for the defendant, who was by Captain Jourdan, of the Sixth precinct, aud brought before Judge Bedford in the Court of General Sessions yesterday. ‘Lhe preoner, Van Aernam, was arraigned upon the in- ictment, and pleaded not guilty. ilis counsel, Mr. Henry moved that vail be fixed by the Court. Judge Bedford after reading the complaint stated that the alleged libel was an atrocious one, intend- ing to vilify and defame a respectabie citizen, and he Jeli called upon to 1x tue bail ata very high amount, particularly as Captain } Jourdan statedthat he found a number of the printed ‘1pels on the person of de- fendant ready for circulation. He would there- fore set the bail at $10,000, and in default thereof that he stand committed. Tne libel is con- tained in a printed circular, headed ‘Caution to the ublic against one A. A. Selover, banker? pow i Proad street, this city.’ setting forth that 4 pant. phiet would issue detailing the private virtues and public character of an “expelied Californian” for swindling, and other inatters alfecting the character of Mr. Selover, all of which he alleges is false and untrue, tending to bring him to public scandal and to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace. The prisoner Van Aernam was committed to prison in default of surety, SUAROGATE’S COURT. The Lyon Will Case. Before Surrogate Tucker. In the Hatter of the Application of Laura A.

HIGHWAY ROBBERIES—ROUGHS ON THE RaM- PAGE.—Yesterday afternoon there were two com- plaints of highway robbery preferred before Justice Ledwith, at Jefferson Market, in which parties were knocked down by gangs of roughs, who are prowl- ing about the city uninolested, seeking whom they my devour, ‘The first prisoner, William O*Nei)l, re- siding at 5] Robinson street, a fair specimen of the New York rough, who claims to be a sailor, Was ar- raigned upon complaint of a young man named Ed- ward Moran, an attache of the St. Nicholas Hotel, who stated that he met the prisoner on Monday night, with whom he nad some former acquaint ance, and, being friends, the two started on @ siroll througn the east side of town, After indulging pretty freely they started down the bowery, it then getting in te small hours of the night. They had not gone far, however, before ONeill suddenly seized hoid of hin, and being the more powerful man o1 the two, held him while he forcibiy took his gold watch and a re- voiver, valued at $165, from him. Moran states that when he requested O'Neill to return the property he fell to beating him in ashameful manner, which was clearly evident from the disorganized condition his optics presented while in court. O'Neill admitiea the charge, and stated Mf allowed to return to the station house he would mmdemnity his fyiend by re- turning the property. He was according}y remanded, and in case the property is not returned he will again be arraigned wns mormny aud @ charge preferred against him. Thomas De- Janey, a powerlutiy built mun, residing in Siartiord, ue next complaimant, who appeared a horribly mutuated. He stated taat while passing through Twenty-sixth street, near tie corner of ‘Tenth avenue, on Monday night he was set upon oy a party of rougas, who Knocked bim down and beat him’ until dimost unconscious, wien they reueved him of his waliet,containing twenty-four dol- lars. Jon Cusick, residing in the neigiuborhood, was arrested by oiticer Sinclair, of the Sixteenth precinet, charzed with being tnplicated in we affray, but, Delaney not bemg able to identity him, he was discharged from custody. AN EX-POLICEMAN ON THE RaMPAGE.—Some time prior to the last Presidential election it will be re- membered that Sergeant McCready and ofticer Shee- han, of the Seventeenth precinct, went into a house at the corner of First avenue and Third street, and asked the person living there which candidate on the Presidential ticket he was going to vote for, and that when he replied for “Seymour” they set to work and clubbed him very seriously. At the time of the occurrence considerable excitement was caused thereby, and both officers were ‘hauled over the coals” at police headquarters, and were severed from the force, Both men were indicted in the Court of Oyer and Terminer; but the men have, somewhat strangely, never been punisned for ihe offence. On Sunday it appears that Sheehan had recourse to his old tricks. At any rate the foliowing ailidavit, which was made yesterday morning be.ore Justice Mans- neid, looks Very much like 1t:— hn MeMahon, of No. 43§ East Fourteenth street, being sworn, deposes aud says that on the eveaing of Sunday, ith day of June, 1*69, ut the elty of New York, in the iy of New York, he was violently and usly as- saulted and beaten by Daniel Shechan, an ex-policeman, who upon the day nained came up to deponent winle he (epo- nent) was quietly sitting in the doorway of his own house, and accostiug Lim in @ friendly way grasped bitn by the hand, to shake hands, and at the kame instant drew him (deponent) up and towards him (Sheehan) and struck by Por the head with a cluo, knocking him down a u getting up he (Sh Jol dul: kicki ponent - han) struck (ceponent) several times about the body with the club and thea threw him viol sround, whereupon oilicer Rodey, of th , who was at the tine in the company fered and took Sheebaa away from cepob remarking at the same time to Sheeban, “Come, Dan, { think you have civen him enough now.” "Deponent further deposes that he had had no quarrel or words with Sheehan nor aay didenlty of any nature whatever prior to this assault with either Shee: han or Rodey, and that such assault so made apon depo: was without any justiication on the part of his said assail- ant. When this affidavit had been made the Justice issued a Warrant for the arrest of Sheehag. THE WOMANS SUFFRAGE CONVENTION. Meeting at the Twenty-third Street Bureau Dr. Liliput Admonishes the Sisterhood of Social RevolutionA Grand Saratoga Cons vention Projected. “There'll be a slim meeting to-day, owing to the rain,” remarked the Napoieon of the social revolu- tion yesterday afternoon, by way of apology for the thinness of the audieuce, quite llustrative of Mil- ton’s ‘“lt, though few;” and this remark the ven- erable spinster repeated several times, quite regard- less of the fact that it was not raining at all and was not likely to ram. The audience was slim—so was the mecting—and in more senses than one, notwithstanding the fact that the occasion was one, as the enthusiastic expressed it, to call forth every friend of the cause, regardless of the weather. As it was, however, they dropped im by ones and twos and threes, very intermittently, from two to four o’clock, at which latter hour a sufficient num- ber of specimens had been collected to admit of at- tempt at classification, Queer specimens they were—puns upon physiognomy most of them—but, as one of the enthusiastic Jusily remarked, earnest workers, to say notuing of talking, in which they demonstrated themselves to excel. Mrs. Phelps now paton tue dignity of president of the motie¢y army of invincibles, and the venera- bie Jeader of the revoluuon stated the olyect of te meeting. First, it was proposed to hold Fourth of July celebrations all over the country—thus ieav- ing the other sex with nothing whatsoever to at- tend toon that occasion, When every iree maie American 1s supposed to be at liberty to ventilate his rhetoric. How the quondam orators of the day of whiskey, Wag-tongue and fireworks may appre- ciate this curtailing and usurpation of their precious privileges mattere. not a whit in the speaker's esti- Imation, Men lad no business to insist upon ail the talking. In fact, if women had not a rignt to talk, it might as well be conceded that they had no rights ‘at all—tor, of all rights, the mght to talk was tnost ppreciated (and most exercised) by the sex. ‘The speciat re of the meeting—viz., to make preparations for the great State Woman Suffrage Couvention to be held at Sai on the Lich of July—was then stated, and the discussion as to the best manner of electing delegates was opened. It was at this stage of the proceedings that Dr. Liltpat, a diminutive little gentieman in black, with pantaioons a tride too long for one of nis dimensions, and hence baggy at the ankle, entered the room with ‘the Steaithy step Of acat. Having worked lus way to an eligibie seat the little gentleman took of his spectacies, wiped the giasses witha bit ot cam- bric, and sat down with an “ahem” that was oracular. ‘Ahem’ was all the little gentieman said for the moment; but pre- Sently it was seen that a master spirit was en- cased in that rather oddly fitting biack suit of his, Presently, in fact, Dr. Liliput, having rested himself Blittic aiter the fatigue of sayimg “ahem,” got up, balanced himself on the extreme ttp of one of hi box-toed shoes, placed one hand carefully in his pantaloons pocket, aud asked if he could ve heard, To Witch the elated president, glad co see a gentie- man take up the cause, responded with an affection- ate atirmative, and Dr. Liliput went on, gesticaia' ing with the taps of his box-toed shoes, instead with his hands, as is the general practice among orators. What Dr. Liliput said was less importaut than the air of wisdom with which he said it, and hence need not be quoted—the diminutive pundit’s manner having been more than lis matter. It was sutticient to stir the ire of one of the enthu- silastic, and that is enough; ome of the eathusiastic springing up from her comfortable sofa seat and in- sisting that turiher argumentation was not to be tole- rated. It didn’t matter whether the clodhoppers of the other sex admiived the right of women to vote or did not. All the women needed to accomplish their purpose was to hang together, walk up to the lig in a body, take the ballot box by storm, and jeposit their votes in spite of anybody, She for one was in favor of doing just that very thing and dou it at once, and the entnustasuo creature looked fiercely about as she reseated herself, as if bent upon the demolition or staming of some vagrant batiot box on the spot, Here again Miss Susan B. Anthony took up the de- bate, with a protest against the taxarion ot women without representation, and stated that the deputy collector had become so tmportunate in his demands that she was about to remit him the sam of fourteen dollars and ten cents; at which Dr. Liuput expressed his satistaction with the law-abiding proviivities of the venerable leader of the inovement, with another of those ‘‘ahems” of his, and composed himself be- hind the barricade of his spectacies as if for a nap, Thus ended the discussion, the faithful dropping out by ones and twos, as they had dropped in. THE MOTT STREET STABBING AFFRAY. Dagaw’s Ante-Mortem Statement. Coroner Schirmer yesterday proceeded to Beile- vue Hospital and took the anteauortem statement of John Dugan, alleged to have been dangerously stabbed in Mott street, the nignt previous, by John Sweeny, as heretofore reported. In his statement Dugan says he was in the saioon corner of Chatham and Doyer streets, where he was employed as cook, when Sweeny ana another man, both accompanied by women, entered the piace and had refreshments, for which they paid. One of the men then went up on the pavement, when Dugan followed and asked him to remain and take care of his partuer, both of them being under the intiuence of liquor, A aificutty then ensued, in which the prisoner Sweeny ud lus companion assaulted Dugan aud beat hin. in the fight he was stabbed, but whether by Sweeny or the other man he was unable to say. Dr. Beonson, one of the surgeons of Bellevae Hos- pital, deposed that Dugan, when admitted, was suf- fering from @ punctured wound, about three-quar- ters of an inch in i» and about an inch in depth, just beneata the it nipple; another wound on the right side, between the eighth and ninth ribs, about an inch m length, extending downwards and backwards between the ribs and integument, and another superficial wound; the first wound 13 the most serious, as, In the doctor's opinion, it penetrated the tung; the condition of the patient 18 precarious, but not desperate. Dr. Bronson is also of the opinion that the wounds were inflicted with a sharp-pointed instrument, about thr quarters of an inch wiae, ‘the jury then rendered the following verdict:— “That John Dugan came to his wounds at the Hanes of some person or persons unknown to the jury. ‘he Coroner committed Sweeny to the Tombs, as \ there was proof beside the statewent of Dugan thac he was engaged in the assault. ——_—]$$$<S—$_ $$ THE NATIONAL GAME. Mutual vs. Cincinnati—Extraordinary Game— The Champions Defeated. The most remarkable game of base ball on record, for neatness and extraordinary playing, was beyond a doubt that played yesterday on the Union grounds between the Mutuals (champions) and the famous “ Red Stocking’? nine, of Cincinnatl. THE WEATHER, everybody knows, was in the morning somewhat op- posed to the prospect of a good game. Annoying mists and tantalizing spatterings followed each other in rapid succession, although occasionally in- terrupted by a litte sunshine, it was a rainy day, and yet there was norain of any account. The ad- mirers of base ball, who had been in anxious exp8c- tation in regard to the game, entertained a fear that the heavy rain of the day before and dampness of yesterday morning would render THE GROUND unfit for playing on; but their fears were ground- less. The grass was rendered more pieasing to the eye by the freshness imparted by the rain, and the gravelled portions,aithough somewhat soft, were not So much so as to interfere at all with the play- ing or the running. The streamers were flung to the breeze at a moment when the wind, blowing from the = son-sou-sou or some other nanghty-cal quarter, brought with it afew drops of moisture, but the clouds looked thin ana there were evidences of the sun’s being ready to break through and cast more light on tie opcra- uons. The flags were hoisted—the Mutual Club fag at the lower right hand corne! the ground, with the champion whip above it, snapping and lastung 1m the breeze, wiule the Cincinnati's banner was rua up to the flag stalf on the pagoda. Aithough the weatner in the morning did look so unpromusing, . THE CROWD which was present must hi numbered some 3,000 or 4,000 persons. The spectators were not quite so much packed as they were at the game on Saturday jJast between the Mutuals and Eckrords, but every | seat Was taken, and around tne field, in the shade of the club house and on the platforin around the pa- oda, they gathered in numbers, In the adjoming streets there was the usuul collection of wagons and carriages, and the peopie in the neighboring houses had their opera giasses again in use. Suorciy before three @’ciock piayers came from the club house one by one and mixed in the crowd or tossed the ball arouad until it was time to clear the ficid and begin THE GAME. Mr. C. D. Walker, of the Active Ciub, having been selected as umpire, play was commenced, with the Mutuals at the bat. There were evident signs of nervousness on the part of the Mutuals. while the “Ked Stockings’—looKing stout aud hearty, each man in his own proper position and ail, of course, in good practice—seemed confident of giving the champions a hard shaking. u the first pall was pitched the crowd becvme periectly quiet, and re- mained so throughout game, although every good bit or play in the Lext op either side was grected with rapturous chess. C. iiunt opened with a low ball to chird, and was quickly disposed of by Waterman and Gould. fHattield was cared for by Sweezey and Gould, and E, Milis neariy tollowed suit, but was sa by Waterman throwing the bail too high to Gould. R, Hunt got to his base on “calied” balls, but both he ana Mil's were left by Swandell, who batted to the pitcher and was cared ior by Brainerd and Gould, George Wright opened for the Ked Stockings, by popping the ball up for Hatteld, and went out; Gould seat a high-tlyer well om the fieid between left and cenire, witch C. Hont was obiiged to crab jor, in order to get in frontof it and then grab it, and make thus, by a splendid catch, the second hand out. Waterman seut a grounder to Hatield; bat ihe jatter mufied it, and Waterman was saved. He subsequently goths run on Allisoa’s, hut Lo leit fleld and just Warued oi a blank as Harry Wright popped the pall up aud was captured by Woiters. ‘The game opening thus finely gave proatise of being an exciting contest; and such it proved to be. Tae work, a8 be adjudged from tue score, was—to use an enlirely original purase—short, sharp and decisive. Althouga the fielding was so re- markably fine, yet notmng of superior exceilence up to the fourin inning, save the Mycatci by c. Hunt, mentioned above, aud afoul bound ok also made by Huns after a long, hard run. ‘The play- ing by ail of the Clncinnati nine, except the one wild throw before alluded to, was au Jait. There was no chance missed to make a point, and the cooinesas and decision with waich they played was remark, apie. Up to the fifth none of the Cincinnati nine Were put outon the bases. Ten had been disposed of on the fly and two on foul bounds, and but two chances for play to base were given, one of which Hatfield missed and the other was missei by Eggier. On the Mu- tual side, up to the fifth mning,gtnere had beea but one fly catch and one bound catch, both by Allison; eight were put out at first base and two at second, who had beea forced along. ‘The style of bauimg by tne Mutuals on the whole was much safer and neater tnan that of the “Red Stock- ings,” and their fielding, with one or two exceptions, was fully as good. Unsortunately for the Mutuals, however, the exceptions were most vital ones. Kggier demonstrated very lorcibly that he is out of his place at short fleld, and, owing to that fact alone, several chances for outs were Jost. In the seventh font, for instance, McVey hit a good ball to right field, and kept right on to the second base, as Haifield had gone to tleid the ball ta, and Egzier did not leave his place at short fleld to man the second as he snould have done, Brainerd made a very pretty point in the seventh inning, a8 foilows:—Swandell was on third base, ready to go home. It was generally thought that if the Matuals could break through the chain of cir- cular links with which the Cincmmnatis were binding them they would creep ahead, and Swandeli was anxious to maxe the break. Eggler had reached first by a good hit to left field, when Wolters came to the bat. ‘The latter hit to Bramerd and started im- medi for first; Brainerd picked the ball up, and instead of turowing to first ne turned and seut it to second, cutting er off, and it was sent back to first im time to head Wolters off, thus adding an- other circle to the chain, as ©, Mills had previously been disposed ol. In the eighth inning McMahon was determined to burst the girdie or *-perish in the attempt,” and hit- ting the bail in good oid style be made second base. C. Hunt was captured on the fy by G. Wright, and At did look as 1 McMahon might be left. Hatfield sent a hot grounder to short, and as soon as Wright picked 11 up and sent it towards first cManon started and got to turd. E. mills then made a safe ana pretty hit to right field, earning his base and giving McMahon his run. The chain was broken, and the pent up ieelings of the multitude psd way in cheer after cheer. Many who looked jespondent before now brightened up. The Mutuals had only one vo make to ln ag and they could do tnat easily. They could, but they didn’t. Ry Hunt sent a stinger to G. Wright while Milis was on first base, and, of scourse, Mills went out at second. When the ninth inning commenced the excite- ment was intense—so much so that it caused an almost painful siience. RK. tant took the bat, and after “two balis” had been “called” oi the pitcher, “one strike” was called on him to warn him that he must not wait with the expectation of getting his base on ‘‘ealled” bails, He did not wait, howevel as he hit the next ball and sent it whizzing to the centre fieid. Swandell followed with retty hit Just over second base, on which Hunt made second and Swandell first. Millis gave one of the hard hits which always count, aud setting the ball trimming the timothy down to the rignt fleld, send- ing Hunt home, Swandell to second and reachin; first himself. Nobody out, one run tn, the score tied, two good men on the bases aud a good man at t! bat. The situation certainly looked promising for the Mutuals. Pretty soon it Was changed. As ier Popped the bal! up for Waterman he ropped It to make the point and passed it to G. Wright, who bad taken jon of third base, and by the latter player it was sent to Sweezey at second, thus catching Swandell aod C. Mills,” There was some little uncertainty as to whether the point was properly made; whether Waterman did not actually Old the ball. Here isa nut for the expounders of the law to break their teeth on. How long must the ball be hela? However, both men were declared out and the shi play was well ap. landed. Eggler held the frst base and olters Was given the base ov “called” balis, ve Eggier second. McMahon then wi also hit a foul nigh up, and it fell just back of the report. ers’ table. Ailison was alter it in lively style, and caught it nicely, thus ending the Mutuals. The hope now was to give tae Ked Stockings another blank and thus force on another inning. Leonard, the first striker, got to first on a ff of Bugler's; but starting for second atthe wrong time he foun himself flanked by E. Mills and Hatfield, to the former of whom Wolters hi passed Leonard was im a bad spot; but he dodged backwards and forw: petween Milis and Hatfield, who were closing on him cooly but surely, close to Hatfleld when the ball was ed to Mill and, thinking himseif safe, he dart past Hatflel to gain second, but Eggier had posted himself there, and Hatfield and Mills had faced him. The bali was passed to Eggier; Leonard darted back iield, and by him passed to Mills, who oung redegger, and finn, amit the laughter and applause of the spectators. Brainerd then sent a hot ball to third. Swandeli picked the ball up and threw it wildly to Mills at first.
