Before Judge Cardozo. A case came before Judge Cardozo yesterday in which two prominent law) ers of New York—tne one Mr. Traphagen and the other Mr. Sandford—were the combatants for legal honors and legal! perquis- ites, The full particulars of the case as originally developed do not appear, but evough was gleaned from the proceedings yesterday to give ap inkling Of the facts to the public. Mr. Sandford said, addressing the Court:—In the case of Mrs, Dunn against Moiioy I desire to siate, as her friend and as a lawyer of hers in this matter, and as av attorney also, Who has been requested to ask a substitution in this case, that to-day at my oilice she bas stated to me facts entirely at variance with her previous statement to me alter close ques- tioning, and which make 1c imperative in me, as her adviser and 2s a man, to consent Ww a receiver and the continuance of the injunction. When that matter 48 disposed of I hope the Court will make some dis- position, either by personal examination of Mrs, Dunn or otherwise, in relation to subsutution. Mr. Traphagen—I am rather surprised to see that Mr. Sandiord has come to his knees at last. This case caine beiore your Honor some ume ago upon a motion in which Mr, Sandford appeared fur Moly, 1commenced this suit a3 counsel, associated with Mr. Ryan, tor Mrs. Dunn, to recover for her property which, by force. and threats, Molloy lad Made ber couvey lo him in Brookiyn. We gota re- ceiver, and when the motion came up Mr. Sandford Appeared, I have not the slightest doubt that Molioy forced Mrs, Duun to make a false atlidavitin connection with Mr. Sandford. On Uns state of facts | do not know but 1t wouid be well to havea reiereuce. Mr. Sandford indignantly dened that he had ever appeared for Molloy, ama said ta Dunn even how desired him to be her attorn and not Mr. Ryan, Mr. ‘Traphagen’s associaie. ‘Alter some more words of warlike mport be- tween the legal iligant: Mrs. Caroline i. Dunn (the source of ali tue Wouble) Was pat upou the sicnd, ani, in answer to Mr. Traplagen, swore that the suit of Caroline kdward Molloy was commenced by Mr. & request; that sav- Fequentiy sue wrote a letter to Mr. Ryan; that she thought it was dictated by either Sandford or Mol- Joy; they were oth present at the time in Mr. Sandford’s oiice; she tuen de- tailed that Molloy was the prime mover in the whole thing; (hat she acied uucer us advice; that she directed Mr. Sandford to prosecate-the ac- tion against Molloy, and, in stort, sie stated thas lis conduct of the aiuir iad been straightiorward; but, on cousuitation With ler lady frieuds, sue resolved to piace her case in tae hands of Mr. Ayan in pre- ference to Mr. Sandford, She admitted that she did not cell Mr, Sand‘ord the truth at first in regard to the case, ana stated that she did uot desire Mr. Sandford's services any \onger, but oniy those of Mr. ‘Srapbagen and Mr. Ryan. Judge Cardozo (to Mr. Sandford)—Do you press your motion? Mr. Sandiord—No, sir; I cannot, under the cir- cumstances. Judge Cardozo—Then, Mr. Traphagen, that settles the matter, and you may taxe voth your orders, SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Decisions Rendered. By Judge Freedman.

Thirteen of the Spanish Gunboats Still Delayed at Upper Quarantinc—Re- ported Lack of Men, Provisions and Water—Probable Deten- tion for Several Days Yet. Thirteen of the thirty Spanish gunboats are still lying at the upper Quaraptine, Among these is the commodious frigate the Igabel ja Caiolica, whieh, in size, with her big guns looking menacingly from her port holes and deck, appears as though she might prove a formidable foe on the water. One of our reporters boarded her yesterday from one of the HERALD steam yacuts—the James—but the effort to extract information from her officers, whose lingual acquirements are confined wholly to the Spanish language, was search of miformation under diil- culties. The exvent of information obtamed was that the fleet will not set sail until after New Year’s at the earliest. The vessels of the fleet lie huddied pretty closely together, and, diminutive as they are in Size@ompared With the commodions frigate, pre- sent the combined appearance of quite an extensive armada, and, with their rakishly mclmed smoke - slacks and masts, a particularly saucy one, On nearly ail of them carpenters and others are still busy at work putting them in nal readiness for sea. Although ou the isabel la Catolica it is given out that the fleet will set sail just after New Yeur’s, the probability is, as gathered from otner sources of information, that tw wil be some days later before they all get under way tor their desunation. The chief obstacle at present iu the Way is said to be lack of men, All the men on the thirteen gunboats stil detained here, 16 16 said, @o not make up much more than one- Unird Of the compiement of men required, In order to hurry off the boats as fas. as possible the full quotas of a few of them are being filled, the re- mainder, if possibie, to be optalned by recruttmeg in tiscity, The necessary Block of provisions and also of water, it is added, hag not yet been obtained. ly oflicers are allowed to come ashore, and a strict A, 1 18 reported, have to pt on the men to ent deserion.

The late Mr. Franz Schoeller, who was acom- posivor in the ofiice of the Staats Zeitung and died by nis own hand on Sunday morning last, had rela- tuves in the very highest circles in Germany. It so happened that many years ago Prince Charles, of Bavaria, the same who commanded the Bavarian army in the war of 1866, met Mr. Schoeller’s sister, who was an actress, and struck with her beauty, grace and intelligence, fell in love with her, which attachment resulted ulti- mately in her marriage to the prince, with the con- sent of the royal Bavarian family. She was made a countess in her own right, and several of her chil- dren, nephews of the deceased compositor, are even now married invo some of the reigning families of the petty principalities of Germany. At the time of his sister's marriage, Schoeller himself was a cadet in the Bavarian army and recerved rapid promotion, owing to the influence his royal brother-in-law could exert in his favor. But im 1848 the deceased adopted tue views of tne liberal and revolutionary party, which course, in the faliure of the movement, ne- cessitated his emigration and deprived him of all juruber recognition by his princely relauves, In this country he learned the trade of a compositor and steadfast ¥ adhered to it, working faithfully ac the case until his death. In view of this life of the de- ceased compositor it may justly pe belleved that ofttimes truth 1s stranger than fiction.

Allen, who staads charged with contempt of Judge Var- dozo and the Supreme Court. He read an aMdavit of Mr. Prichett, in which he claimed that Mrs, Allen’s underciothing or wearing apparel had been sold to pay lawyers? fees, In opposition to the motion of Mr. George Shea to restore Mra, Allen to the care and custody of her person and property and to discharge the commit- tee of lunacy, ex-Judge Strong contended that an appeal had been taken of the reference to the Gene- ral kerm, and no action had since veen taken by Judge Cardozo im regard to it, He also contended that the proceedings velore the referee were cx parte, the committee of lunacy not having haa an opportunity to be ve heard 10 opposition, Judge Cardozo said that undoubtealy the stay of proceedings granted by Judge Dwigat was abso- lately void. it was just as much so as though no reference had been ordered and the examination was conducted in open court by bin (Judge Car- 0z0), and that these proceedings were sougnt to be stayed by an order trom Judge Dwight, bx-Juage Stroug argued that the proceedings be- fore the referee Were iriegular, aud that the order of Judge Cardozo vacating the order of Judge Dwight was enurely unwarranted by te reguiar practice of the Court, no nouce having been served on the opposing counsel; ago that a copy ol whe order suould have been served on che reieree, and that bo copy of the report o} whe referee had been served on tae attorney for the committee, ile said, jurtier, that the lunacy committee had @ perfect excuse for not aitending the reference, because it Was understood by them that ali proceedings were stayed by Judge Dwight’s order, Judge Cardozo said he would allow the committee even bow au opportunity lo putin weir tesiuimony by affidavit.

Tne Board met yesterday afternoon at two o'clock, Pursuant to adjournment, with the President, Alder- man Coman, inthechair. There was just a quorum Present, but not enough to pass any general orders, and as the end of the year and of the oficial exist- ence of some members of the Board are drawing to @ close, and as it 1s desirable that the business laying over should be disposed of, the Board, on motion of Alderman Moore, took a recess until half-past three o'clock. At Nalf-past three there were just the requisite “baker's aozen’’ (thirteen) present, and as the day was rather murky the gas in the chamber was lighted and gave the place somewhat of an old-time look— @ look like the time when the Aldermen met in the evenings, and made their sessions as numerous as possible, as they recelved the heavy stipend of four doilars or thereabouts for each session. There was an evident expectation of “something” to be done, as the “third house” was largely represented. During the recess the lobbyists crowded in the haliways, rub- bed the dampness from the marble columns, or re- ceived the drippings on their fancy “lection tties.!” and patiently awaited the reconvening of the padres seniores, When the hour arrived they crowded into the high backed benches in the lobby or leaned over the iron railing with ail the evidences of expecta- tion and determination. President Coman called the Board to order and the sergeant-at-arma, rejoic - ing in the uncommon name of Smith, called to the gentlemen in the lobby to be kind enough to re- move their hats, Soine of the “gentlemen” seemed at first rather loath to doit their beavers, but they did remove them finally, and the work progressed. Alter the usual introductory overture of calling the roll and reading the minutes, the opening chorus was gone through with, This consisted of the usual number of resolutions for regulating, grading, pay- ing, lagging’ and lighting, erecting pumps, free drinking byd¥ants, and such ke works, which were laid over or reterred to the appropriate committees. ‘Then came the olio, in which, of course, all took a hand, The general orders were called up and adopted in due style.

In accordance with special call the Board of Super- visors met yesterday noon, with the president, Supervisor Roche, in the chair, The meeting was undoubtedly anxiously looked for, a# during the past few working days the number of rough and “queer looking chaps around the halls of the stately Court House has been Jargely increased, When the doors were opened the crowd flocked into the lobby of the chamber, gazing wistfully at the door of the Chamberiain’s office as they passed by. In avery few moments all was in readiness and the work commenced, Paper after paper was taken up by the quiet, easy going president and landed to the Vigorous reader, who rattled turough their contents With @ rapidity and accuracy almost tmcredibie. ‘There were numbers of claims from banks and in- surance companies, ior indemuity on account of taxes which, vy legal tribunals, have been declared uniawint.

M, HISTRIONIC INFELICITIES. William Horace Lingard in a New RolemAn Engagement Made for Him at the Jefferson Market Police CourtWhat He Called His Wife. William H. Lingard, alias Needham, the protean actor, now performing at Jim Jubilee’s Opera House, im Elgnth avenue, and who nas gained considerable notoriety in this city for the past two years in his comical personations of noted men, bids fair to appear in a new rie, judging from the facts which came to light yesterday afternoon, before Justice Dodge, at Jetferson Market. Mrs. Lingard, sometimes known as Alice Dunning and at others as Alice Needham, appeared, with her counsel, Mr. Charles 8. Spencer, and made affidavit that “on Sunday, while at the Coleman Honee, in Broadway, William H. Needham, otherwise known as Lingard, was brawling, quarreling, using pro- fane, indecent, insulting, abusive aud opprobrious and threate: lan; e, making @ noise and de- stroying (i opera also called her a ‘dirty strumpet’ and threatened to biow her brains out With a pistol,” and that of lute he has used very in. sulting language towards her, Upon the above affidavit, it being sworn to by the bewitching Alice, a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of officer Brennan, of the Court squad, with instructions to arrest Lingard. He forthwith proceeded to the Coleman House, Lingard’s head- quarters, and desired to have an audience with that mileman, but was informed he was sick and con- ined to his room, unable to leave lis bed. Failing to gain an inierview with him he proceeded to the residence of Mrs, Coles, corner of Eighth avenue and ‘Twenty-fourth street, Where he inquired for the complainant, Miss Alice Needham, but was informed that no such person resided there, but a Miss Alice Dunning was in the house, and they surmised she was the person he wagin searci of. Officer Brennan, alter failing to arrest Lingard, re- turned to the court and reported progress. It is ex- pected that wnen the case coines up for examination some rich developments will be made, as several prominent persons are mentioned as belag the cause or rae sudden outburst of passion un the part of Lin- gard. COCK FIGHTING EXTRAORDINARY A “Shake Bag” Contest for Two Hundred Dollars. New Jersey and New York Pitting Their Feathered Giants—New Jersey's Go- liah Badly Whipped and Demoral- ized—I'wo Other Fights of Interest and Determined Ferocity. Again the cock fighters of this city and vicinity, to the number of about one hundred, met yesterday afternoon in one of the prominent pits at Union Aull, N, J., to witness three contests between game birds and participate in the pleasant excitement in- cident to such struggles. Two of the battles were agreed upon after the company had gathered, but the frat was a match that bad been made early in the season, being an encounter euphoniously termed @ “shake bag,” ip which the contestants are brought to the scratch without any specified weight; but such birds are always found to be of exceedingly large frame and bone, and of heavy weight. As this match had been made for the sum of $200, between James Brown, of Washington Market, New York, and Peter Terhune, of Keyport, N. J., it excited con- siderable speculation and betting. The prelimina- ries were readily arranged by the principals in the match and by the handlers, when at three o’clock much anxiety was allayed by the appearance of the duellists in the first or ‘‘shake bag” figut, The cocks were magntiicent looking specimens of the feathered race—of apparent great strength, symmetrical in form and brtiliancy of plumage. The Jersey bird was the largest, and a more promising fowl aud one more suggestive of true fighting qualities never uttered a deflant martial crow in the pit. He was a black-red of exceeding darkness, stationed well, possessed great breadth across the back, good thigh, saddie and neck; but, after all, and notwithstanding he was eleven ounces heavier than his opponent, was a “‘duffer’’ at heart, having too little endurance and determined ferocity in hie nature after receiving slignt punishment. It were better for his owners that his neck nad been long ago and made into a nutritious potpie, as hig pigeon-heartedness and dunghill blood were demon- strated in an ignomintous flight Lo escape the sharp heels of his courageous foe, The New York fowl was a light red and a descendant of the oid ‘‘mofr? stock, well remembered for their dogged staying dispositions and hard ones to wilip when in condi. tion, He also looked very well, yet not so handsome as his opponent; but what be lucked in appearance was made up in gameucss, The weights of tuese birds, thougi not essential in the matcn, were ob- talued and had considerable influence in shaping the opinions and subsequent operauions of the bet ting conclave. New York was Give pounds thirteen ounces, and New Jersey six pounds eight ounces in weigat. Amid the peculiar buzz and animated cries, only experienced around a cockpit, denoting the ac- tivity and eagerness of the throng to invest thetr money, “Just to ve a littie interested,” commenced THE FIGHTING. Pirst Fight-—“Shakebag."—iwenty to fourteen was freely offered and taken on the Keyport bird, “He's big enough to fight a horse,” shouted one old veteran, as the birds came together and the feathers flew in every direction. “Yes, but he's got to be lively to ‘cook’ the New Yorker,” returned another and #0 it was proved, For three minutes the fight- ing was desperate. Each were good to take hold, “break” together and give buckle for buckle, Deep into throat, boay anu neck the steel gaits were im- bedded, the birds never siacking oP the rasping na ure of their biows. Rapidity and determination actuaied them, when by a turtous fap, the New York bird sent hig heel into the neck of Keyport, who dropped as if he had been beheaded. ut the work was not done, as after a slight breathing spell Keyport came again and did some excelleut work, paying his opponent in gashes of his own kind, Soon the “powder” of both had been nearly ex- pended, when they siackened for a moment their work of intended annihilation, New York was the quickest to rally, whem, hammer and tongs, he renewed bis work on Keyport, bué the latter had got too much, and after anot gash in the throat dropped his head, and with rumied plumage showed the cowardly blood in him by fight, whea New York was proclaimed the victor. During the couteat the betting changed, the odds being oa New York at tames ol twenty to 81x. Time, 7:00, Second Fight.—This figut, with tue third and last, Was gotten up by Johu Ludlow, otherwise known ag “Pop,” to ae the boys littie more, as he said, “sport,”’ and proved to be capital in every respect. A black-red, muif chicken four pounas ounces, was shown, and @ browu-red, four Vecta two ounces, brought against ii. The rown was the favorite, 20 to 1), and much money was staked ou the resuit, as the betting men bad become excited. The biack-red got it hot in the first buckle, but fought a gaine, obstinate bate, - caring little for the carving he received, even after he had au eye out and had his throat badly and re- peatedly gasued. He was rogueish withal, and when knocked down Would again raily until he was called repeater, and ‘repeat’ he did with such savage fury and style that the heart of tae brows-red wae entirely taken from him, and he quit fgbting ina ratiier demoralized condition, as both of hts eyes were gone, and, not caring to ‘go it bund,” abrupily quit, “Lime, 14:05, Third Fghi.—Another black-red, with white hackie, four pounds ten oances, Was shown against @ browa-red, four pounds eight ounces, dota chickens, The black ad une odds, ie was an ambitious bird, fighcing too Quickly and a ‘a heeler.”” Tue browa was very Kamo, bus the blac! would not give him a chagee, aitiough at one tine, alter ing two or three buckies in the neck ant head, it was thought he would win the fight clean out of the fire, One of theso buckles nit the brown in the neck, which tWisted it out of all shape and made his chances Of the victory sull less.
