4 NEW YORK CITY. QUE COURTS. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. Obarge of Perjury in the Alleged Fraudulent Execution of a Bond—Important to Intending Parchasers of Real Estate—The Defendant Hold in $10,000 Bail, Before Commissioner Stillman. The United States vs, C, M, Case.—The defendant was arrested on @ charge of perjury, having, as stated, falsely sworn that he was the owner of 2,000 crea in puffolk county and given ball for an alleged counterfeiter named Wood. The facts of the case as presented in the affidavits set forth a somewhat remarkable phase in the real estate business. It appeared that the defendant when giving ball swore that he was worth $10,000, owning, as he afirmed, @ large quantity of land near Huntingdon, in the county mentioned, It would seem, however, that by a forged deed, purportea to have been executed im the year 1836, the land in question passed into the nands of the defendant, and the maker of the said deed, one Phineas Cull, had died some ten years prior to its alleged execution. Moreover, since that time, the property is said to have been repeatedly transferred and mortgaged, regular deeds having been executed, while the rea: owuers, living on the Jand and farm- ing {t, were entirely ignorant of the proceedings, It is also alleged that there was a regular combina- tion of parties, in order to carry on tue matter suc- cessfully. she cause which led to the arrest of the defendant was a certain suspicion attached to his peae for Wood. Assistant District Attorney Purdy immediately instituted inquiry into the dgfendant’s title, and after diligent search the /acis as devel- oped in the aMdavit were discovered. George Ii. Sedxwick testified that he searched the records in the County Clerk’s ofice of the county of Suffolk, State of New York, and found tiaat Charles M. Case did not, on the 17th of August, 1869, own any land or other property in said county; that the records show that at times previous to that date there were certain deeds purporting to convey pro- REP, to said Case; that said deeds were invatid and hat Case had given numerous mortgages on the property. J. 5. Rogers, Clerk of the County, certified that he had searciied the records in relation to a tract of land situated in the township of Huntingdon and described in a deed dated September 18, 1868, and recorded 11th February, 1869, made and executed between Ambrose J. Jones to Charles M. Case. Then follows the recital of the deed, which conveys @ oertain portion of land in the township of Huatingdon, situate on Little Plains, and in the west half of Square Pit, the consideration being $40,000. Further searches disclosed that sub- sequently Charles M. Case and Henrietta Lippman conveyeed to Albert White 1,000 acres of tne land in question. Then follows a warranty deed dated May NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, compelled to sefund moneys obtained from several | tence you to the Sta! persons for services whica were not performed, COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER, The Court of Oyer and Terminer opened yesterday morning pursuant to adjournment from several days back, and after the Grand Jury had nted a number of indictments—most of which were for minor offences—the court was formally adjourned until Monday next, SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Quarrel About a Partnership. Popper vs, Scheider,—Judge McCunn has delivered the following interesting opinion ta this case:— In this matter some days since Judge McCunn granted an order appointing a receiver to take charge of the partnership property and assets, consisting of some $6,000 or $7,000 worth of tobacco, and at the same time ordered a dissolution of the frm. The firm being composed, as the papers presented to the Judge showed, of the defendant and the plaintia in thisaction, Nowa motion is made on the part of the defendant, upon aMidavits setting forta that poms: never was a partner; that the only interest é has 1 the Concern is a sum of $1,500 and a con- tingent interest in the profit of the firm to the ex- tent of seven and one-half per cent, the defendant ownmg ail the balance of the capital, about $80,000. They further bd that if the receiver ws continued and the order appointing him is carried out, that then their profitabie business—a business which has been the result of years of indus- try, and which has been established by said defeud- ants at great expense and trouble—will be ruined, and that their Prosceoce in life will. be blighted. They also allege that the course which the plaintiff is pursuing 18 not so much the security of bis in- terest or the moneys due him from the concern, as it is done through malice, they having offered to pay him bis $1,800, lis share of the capital, and agree to secure to him any amount found to be due him from the profits, Under these circumstances defendants appeal to this court to modify the order appointing the receiver 80 as to allow them to give security in Af sum the court may name, to the effect that they Will pay plaintiff any'sum which may be found due him on a proper accounting, and that the order ap- po.nting such recelver may be discharged and they allowed to conduct and take care of their business as usual. Judge McCunn, in deciding the case said:—This action is in the nature of a suit in equity, in which the relief demanded 14 the dissolution of an alleged copartnership and an adjustment of the partnership accounts, and in which provisional relief 18 sought by an injunction and the appointment of @ receiver. I allowed an interlocutory order for an injunc- tion and the appointment of a receiver, and the motion now is to modify the order of injunction and appointing a receiver, and, instead, to permit the defendants to file security to pay the plaintit any sum that may be found due to him on a final setule- ment of the partnership accounts. In view of the facts that @ partnership between the plaintuf and defendants is positively denied; that a very small proportion of the partnership capital was contri- buted by the plaintiff, if, inaeed, any were contri- buted by him in the character of pexer that by §, 1869, from Case to David W. Chambers, conveying 1,000 acres of land in the Square Pit purchase, &c., consideration $7,000 and exchange of property. There were also the following:—Charles M.

Jones, dated September 18, 1862, and recorded Feb- Tuary 11, 1869, consideration $9,000; judgment against Charles M. Case in favor of Charles H. Smith, docketed May 8, 1869, amount $224 12; Bad ent against Charies M. Case in favor of W. L. \d, docketed July 19, 1869, amount $2,234 26, aiready stated the original deed ‘purported to have been executed by Phineas Cull, and panes: by one Mary Cullas a witness, was executed in 183 conveying the property te Thomson, who conveye: it to Vincent, and who in turn conveyed it to one Hull. The last mentioned party then conveyed 1t to one Jones, who conveyed to the defendant. The afiidavit of t gtates, however, that he knew Phin the alleged orginal party in the di but that he died several years prior to 1836, and moreover that the witness men- tioned as Mary Cull was not properly Cull, her real mame being Anne Hull, It will be remembered that one Wood was some time since charged with counterfeiting, and that pe defendant acted as bondsman on the atreagth of property of which he alleged he was the owner, The case was brought up yesierday, Assistant District Attorney Purdy appearing on the part of the rosecution, The defendant was heid in $10,000 ail to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Lawyers Who “Divorces,” On the application of Mr. White yesterday morn. img Judge Clerge granted an order directing the Messrs. Harper & Vanhoevenberg, who, it was stated, advertiso in the newspapers that ‘shey will procure divorces a mensa pletora wixhous f the allowance of an injunction and the appointment of areceiver the jartuerablp Dasiness which is very large and flourishing, will be arrested and, perha) Tuined, and that by the modification proposed the plaintiff will be abundantly secured in all nis by absolute or contingent. I cannot doubt but the equity of the case requires a rescission of the order of injunction and receivership, and that substitution of an order to the effect suggested. It is thus that acourt of equity moulds and adapts the remedial relief it accords, so as to reach the ends of substan- tial justice without compromising the rights or inter- ests or any party to the litigation. A provisional remedy is Only auxiliary to ultimate relief, and should never usurp or anticipate the office and effects Of @ trial on the merits. Ifin the final hear- ing it appears that the plaintiff was in fact a part- ner, and as such entitled to a share in the profits, he will in final judgment have a decree for his eer’ tions, and meanwhile the security exact and given will guarantee him the full measure of relief to which he may show himself entitled.

On the ist of this month Mr. Neweomb gave up possession, and as he did not receive the property in question he saw Mr. Newcomb about tt, and on going into a bedroom he found some of the property; but as that was only about twenty dollars’ worth he demanded the remainder, but not getting it, he gave Mr. Newcomb into custody. On ap; a ing before Judge Hogan, he sent the parties Daal with the police officer, telling them to search tne house, with Mr. Newcomb and Mr. Terry, and see if they conld find more of the alleged miasing pro- erty.

Mr. Newcomb sald he would not pay it. Bail was given in $600 for Mr. Newcomb's appearance atthe Gcneral Sessions. HAYOR’S OFFICE. That Passenger Ticket Agency. An establishment kept by a firm styled McCarron & Co. at No, 146 Liberty street, has been frequently brought into notoriety latterly by means of com- plaints entered before Marshal Tooker by parties who had been swindled by McCarron # Co. The gentlemen (?) who keep the establishment manage to get hold of a stranger who is on his way to Europe, for the purpose of providing him with good passage tickets, and changing whatever money he may pos- sess into European coin. They are exceedingly kind to the stranger, take care of his money until it is time for him to sail, then place it securely in a belt for him, escort him to the steamer, see him safely on board, then bid him an atfectionate fare- well and von voyage, The latest case is that of Mr. Negler, who, on the 26th of June last, gave MoUarron & Co. $1,200 to keep for him so that he might not be feeced by sharpers'While in the city, He was cared for as “usual, and when a few hours out on the ocean he left “the heaving deck,” and in his stateroom he counted over his wealth and found that he was not quite as wealthy as he fondly imagined. He had but little more than $500. How he stamped and swore and tore hia hair, To return immediately was impos- sible. He must go to Germany and then return. That steamer was never known to move as slowly as on that vo; » She could not keep pace witn his anxiety. Mit bed in the stateroom was hard, too nard to give rest to him. He gt tossed about during the ‘still watches of the night,” but “nary’’ soft spot could he find in mattress or pillow. ‘The food was by no means as palatable as when the steamer first left New York harbor. In fact, in his disturbed state he imagined that everything was wrong. Finally he reached the other side, and he lost no time in enrolling bimself on the passenger list of the first steamer to return, He arrived a few days ago and sought out a friend of his, with whom he appeared before Marshal Tooker yesterday. His story was goon told, and McCarron & Co. have by this time learned that they were not quite as secure as they thought. The duped Negler will have nis money reiunded, and it is to be hoped McCarron & Co. wiil come to grief. SHOOTING AFFRAY IN NEVADA. Jobnny MeGinde, the Pugiliat, Killed.

SUICIDE IN LIVINGSTON PLACE. A Gentleman Shoots Himself Through the Head With a Pistol—Business Troubles the Cause. A most melancholy occurrence, resulting in the death of Mr. John 8, Nicholls, took place at No.3 Livingston place about eight o’clock yesterday morning. During some time past Mr, Nicholls, with wife and daughter, had boarded at the above num- ber, but they had made arrangements to take apart- ments tn one of the Fourth avenue hotels, For some months Mr. Nicholls bad much trouble in con- sequence of being unsuccessful in business. He was eng in the sale of privting .paper in Park row, but nearly a year ago he Jailed, since which time he scems to have had no permanent, employment. After his failure Mr. Nicholls in- reat joney 10 & nt, from which he hoped to realize a fortune, but it failed to meet his expecta- tions, and increased his despondency to alarm. ing extent.

On Sunday, however, Mr. Nicholls arose trom his bed and, as subsequently appeared, in overhauling the drawers of a bureau in his room took therefrom al mogie barrelled pistol, which, without the knowl of Mra. Nichoils, he secreted about his ergon, At ten o’clock P. M. he retired to bed, appa- utly quite comfortable, and seemed to sleep well during tne night, Mrs, Nichol's arose yesterday Mhornihg aa aad after taking her breakiast took so} to her husband. As ne was still in bed si placed the breakfast on the stand, Mr. Nicholls saying-he would get up at once. Atew moments aiter leaving his bedroom she heard a noise, as though a heavy weight liad fallen from the cetling tothe floor. Mrs. Nichoils entered the room and noticed that her husband looked as though he was ina fit. She took hold of his hand aud asked him to speak to her, Dut he made no reply. At thattime blood was seen running from us neck, and th iclon of Mrs. Nicholis at vnce becal roused. Stripping down the bedquilt and sheets a small single-barrelled pisto! was dis- covered clinched in his right hand. The truth in- stantly flashed across the mind of Mre, Nicholls, who cried out to her daughter and others in the house that her husband had shot himself. A physician was at once summoned, but no assistance could be ren- dered, and the unfortamate man expired in a few moments afterwards, The pillow and nearly all the bedclothes were completely saturgted with blood. Information of the tragic occurrence was com- Municated to Coroner Keenan, who subsequently repaired to the house and held an inquest on the body, which rosulted in developing the foregoing facta, ‘The jury rendered a verdict accordingly. Mr. Nicholls was forty-one years of and a native of Engiand, but had been in this country since his boyuood. He has left a widow and one daughter, a beautiful young lady about eighteen ‘ears of age. Mrs, Nicholls states at intervals during the last three months her husband had been in the most deplorable state of mind, but she had never heard him threaten to take is own life, and had not tle most remote suspicion that he anticipated doing so, The weapon used by deceased had been given him by a friend some months }o. In making an examination of the body Drs, ‘ooater Beach and Cushman found that deceased had piaced the muzzie of the pistol to his right tem- le and discharged {t, the bullet passing clear hrough the head and lodging in the skin near the leit ear. It is somewhat remarkabie, considering the nature of the wound, that death did not result | ‘aimoat pinstantaneously. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, Board of Aldermen.

There is good Treason to believe that the action of the mob was permitted, if not incited, by the autnorities oY Cara- cas, agit was suspected that the intention of the Bianco party was to inaugurate a revolution while the ball was in progress and turn-out the present government. The tumult continued the following day, and Bianoo, being threatened with assasination, took refuge at the American Legation. he was provided with a safeguard and permitted to goto Laguayra, there to embark for Curacoa.

Thirty-two years ago a widow lady named Belt donated the public of New York twenty acres of waste land, known as Mount Morris square, bounded by 122d and 124th streets ana by Fourth and Sixth avenues, The value of the legacy then was about $1,000; now the same tract could not be bought for $1,200,000. The grouna consisted of a large mass of micaceous quartz, rising in the centre somewhat abruptly, and covering some ten acres of the be. quest; the rest was waste land, covered with sorub and unwholesome grass.

This question, he said, 1t was diMcult to answer because of the des tory way in which Sunday school work was carried on, the few statistics, and the little organisa. tion that there was for counsel and prayer among the teachers. It was an institution that wag surrounded by influences that were Gangerous and unfavorable to (ts proper (cit) and development, He was not desirous that there should be a cass iron organization for every Sunday school; there G be a latitude that would allow for a great dive: of taste and the individual teaching of the truths of the Gospel. He would advise the meeting together frequently for the supplication of the Divine biessing to rest upon their work, for counsel and the puttung forth of the various modes of action that might be agreed upon, He thought that the bisnops were the divinely appointed heads of ti burch, and that if the bishops were to gather together those ei in Sunday school work* in their several dioceses and confer with them as to the best mode of soing, that work, the effect of it would be that the llouse of Babes would spead two or three days discussing Sunday achooi questions and the sate of their schools in their respective dioceses.
