Before Judge Gross, Lawson vs, Darrow.—The piaintid, a commiasion merchant, sold a cargo of brick to the defendant, a dealer in building materials, to be delivered at foot of Forty-seventh street, North river. In pursuance of this arrangement the plaintiff directed the cap- tain of the schooner containing the brick to go up there with his vessel. On arriving the captain re- ported to the defendant, but was Ce by him to land them at 130th street, at tho dock of a party to whom he had agreed to deliver brick, which the captain undertook to do, but it seems through some misunderstanding they were landed farther up the river, Upon the conclusion of the case defendant's counsel moved for a aismissal of the complaint on the ground of non-delivery, the evidence being that it was customary for the captatn of the vessel to un- load the brick, In passing upon the queation raised the Court 1 shali hold that the defendant by giving directions to the captain exercised acts of owner- nership over the cargo of brick, and that from the moment he directed the capmmin to deliver the brick at 140th street they were under his control, and the rson acting acted as the agent of the defendant, shail hold that there was a consuructive deliveny. If the deieadant did not desire to take the brick he haa it in his power, on their arrival at Forty-seventh strect, to say ‘I refuse to accept the pric,’ and hen he would have been clear oi the contract, it not eing in Wiiting; but, having authorized tue captain to take this brick to @ certain piace, the captain was under his contro!, and I hold tt to have been delivery suficient to take the case out of tue stau Of irauds.”” Tue Court then charged the jury, and a verdick was revurued fur the plaiatld. COURT OF GE aL SESSIONS. A Young Womna Sent to the State Prisou— Acquittals. Before Recorder Hackett, The first case tried yesterday was an indictment aga!nst Maurice O’Conuell, charging him with petty larceny from the person. John Thompson, the com- plainant, swore before the magistrate that on the 20th of August he was assaulted by onc man, ond that the accused took his watch, worth ten dollars. It appeared that Thompson subsequently heard that O'Connell was the sole support of a widowed mother and had @ good character, and consequently ex- pressed a desire to withdraw the charge, The Ke- corder would not permit him to do so, and ordered the trial to proceed. Tie complainant gave his teati- mony, aud swore positively that he could not iden- tify the accused as party who took the watcu. O'Connell suowed that he was employed by the Har- tem Raltroad Company, and was a very honest young mao, The Recorder stated in his charge to tue jury that oftentimes persons who appeared before police magistrates and grand juries and charged others with perpetrating crimes were subsoquentiy influenced to withdraw the charges by threats of personal violonce or from other considerations. In this instance bis Honor said (be testimony was insum- cient to convict the defeudant. The jury rendered # verdict of not guilty, Wiltam Jobnson was charged wiih receiving stolen goods, the indictment ailertng that on the 16th of September he purchased two cases of boots, valued at $350, the property of the Narraganset Steamship Company, from Michael Kelly. ‘The com- plaining witness was charged with stealing tue ood, and he swore that he only received ten dol- lars from Johnson. It was shown that Kelly went into Johnson’s lager beer saloon, drank, and asked permission to leave the boxes there. The Recorder stated to the jury that the prosecution failed to establish the guilty knowiedge essential to be proved in a cage of that kind and directed the jury to acquit, which they dick Charles Start waa placed on trial charged with grand larceny. It appeared from the teatimony that the store of Martin H. Bradiord, at West Winsted, Conn., was burglariously entered on the night of the 2eth of July and $600 worth of boots and shoes stolen, @ portion of which was traced to this city, A detective visited a store in Hast Fifteenth strect aaid hays been ore tes. at morning. by the ac- Caused aud found some of the boots and shoes, which were identified by Mr. Bradford. ‘The prisoner was bot on the premises at that time, and as Mr. Hutch. ings could not positively connect tim with the prop- erty he virtually abandoned the case. Wien the jy had reudered @ verdict of not guilty Assistant istrict Attorney Hutchings informed the Court tuat there were two other parties implicated in the bur- glary, who were sent on to Connecticut upon a re- quisition of the Governor to be tried Meno Casper Sawyer (a boy) was jointly indicted with two others, charged with breaking into the boot and shoe store of Edward Schendel, in Sixth avenue, one night last month, at which time three pairs of boote were stolen, The testimony against Sawyer Was very siigit, and when the jury rendered a@ ver- fist of aoyuittal the Recorder gave him some exce!- lent advice before letting him go. Minnie Watson, a geuteei looking young woman Was tried and convicted of stealing trou: Mary A Allen, on the sth of September, wearing apparel Valued at $128. Sie engaged board at @ house im East Broadway, and rvomed with Miss Allen. Alter she had been there two days she sud- denly disappeared, taking with her the wardrove of her fellow voarder, An oficer arresied her a iew days aiterwards on the corner of Market street, When she denied that she boarded at thig house in E Broadway. The officer brought ber there, and 8! was fully identified vy the boarding house keeper, While they were proceeding to the place she Was seen ty pul something in her mouth, but the officer failed to make her disgorge, He had reason to believe it was @ pawn ticket, for ne took tevo awn tickets out of her band, which he afterwards found out represented @ portion of the stolen pro- perty. Ex-Jadge Stuart fought desporately to get the erring woman off i! legal technicalities, and, to cap the clunax, Minnie herseif took the stand and did ap some “tall? swearing. She swore that Miss Alien (who appeared to be a respectable girl and who was married @& few days since) sold her wardrobe to her for forty dollara in money, at the same accepung a wet of jewelry, Worth sixty dollara, which Minnie said she imported from Engiand. Mr. Hutchings recalied Miss Allen, who pronounced the statement false in every particular, The jury rendered a verdict of gulity, and the Recorder sentenced ner on the spot lo imprisonment in the State Prison for four years, remarking that it was time to teach the thieves (which she represenged) who atoie from poor sewing ‘iris that they codid not pursue their nefarious ourse hercattor tu (ule community, Mipnie NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1869.—TRIFLE SHEET. ee Se ee a eres or kere as eins eee ted that she was arrested throc times, but was never convicted.

NEW WATERING P2Jd_0i. THs Salt Water vs. Croton for the Streets aud at Firoa—Report of tho Engincer of the Board of Health, The project of making use of salt water instead of Croton for the purpose of extinguishing fires and washing the streets has been thoroughly examined into by the engineer of the Board of Healtn, to whom it was referred by tho Board. Yesterday the engineer reported to the Secretary of the Board the result of his investigations. ‘ne report ta quite lengthy, and in it the engineer asserts his belief that the plan is decidedly practicable. He proposes to divide the city, below Fifty-ninth street, into two districts, one above and the other below Fourteenth street; to have pumping engines for each district located at the Fortieth street reservoir and at the intersection of Canal and Walker streets, the water to be brought to the pumping stations through brick conduits.
