Two sneak thieves, named respectively George Smitn and John Williams, entered the apartments of Wilhelmina Schroeder, on the second floor of a house on Second avenue, between Highty-sixth and Eighty-seventh astreots, yesterday afternoon, while she was absent, and stole twenty dollars’ worth of jewelry. The tmeves were just in the act of leaving the apartments when se returned. She tried to prevent them from escaping, when Wil- bas he her on the head with a “jummy,” cut- ting her severely, They then ran into tie street and fled toward the East river, followed by officer Plant, of the Twenty-third precinot, and a number of citi- zens, While passing through a garden, near Suizer's a ‘uliams threw the jewelry away from him, pa fh gee up by one of the citizens who joined in the chase. Both were ar- Tesi on the bank or the Lxst river, at = of Eighty-fourth atreet, and brought before tice Coulter, at tue Yorkville Police Court, where they were held each tn $1,000 ball to answer a charge of larceny. Williams was also held in an ad- ditional bond o1 $1,000 to answer a charge of felo- nions oenlt on Mrs. Schroeder. This Wiliams, it seems, is a notorious ras- ‘cal. His father, who is a respectable man, resides in Hast Thirty-second street. A Short time ago he was sent from the above court to the House of Refuge, from whence he escaped. Some time after his escape he as- saulted officer Cotter, of the Twenty-first precinet, for which offence a bench warrant was issued against Nim from the Court of Special Sessions, Oflcer Cotter happened to be tn court yesterday, when Wilhams was brought up, and identified him at once. He suld Williams’ real name was Michael Brennan, A complaint was taken against nin on the affidavit of the officer, making in all four separate charges for which ‘he wil have to answer, i GBSEQUIES OF GLEW, THE AATIST.

Joseph Smith, assisted by Rev. J, N. Stansbury, Of those present who pald fhe last sad tribute to his memory but three or four were of his own counyyuien. The rest were Americans.

Yesterday Was an occasion of feverish excitement among the politicians of Newark, who were busy from early dawn til dewy eve and considerably after making preparations for the grand ballot box war among the partisan patriots which takes place to-day under the title of “the annual charter elec- ton:' While the proximity of the announce- Ment of the actual result is so close at hand ‘it is goarcely worth while to risk an opinion; still ber f mdication goes to show that the republicans will carry the Common Council by a large majority. In fact, this is conceded by many leading democrats. The issue on the Auditorship— the head of the sity Ucket—is not 80 sure one way or the other. In this instance the democrats did Manage to trot out the very best man they coula select—a German—Mr. George 0, Webner, and tt is certain that he “oan at ieast give the republican can- didate, Mr. F.

Demarest vs, Towey et al.—This action was brought to recover $625. An attachment was Issued against the defendants as non-residents, and the case was tried before a referee, who decided against the plaintiffs, The attachment was issued by Judge Clerke on May 7, 1869, and on the 14th of June an undertaking discharging the attachment was filed by the defendants. On the 18th of August the sureties en the undertaking justified. The Sheriff claimed $758 09 48 costs and charges On the attachments, Which the plaintifts cousidered outrageous, and appled to the Court to haye them reduced. Yester- day Judge Brady rendered the following opinton:— “The allegation that the defendants carried on their business a8 usual afier the attachment andievy is not denied, and the afidavits in reference to the attendance of the watchman are not suMiciently defi- nite to warrant the concluston that he was there day ana night for the period named, in actual and continued charge of the goods seized. Under such circumstances, the item of $6 a day and night can- not be allowed, and must be reduced w $2 50 per day for 115 days. The Sheriff is not entitled to poundage—the property not naving been sold. To such effect is the decision of this Court. The depn- bind compensation is an item which depends upon ¢ allowance made to him. I sce nothing to justify me in saying that that is an unreasonable amount. ‘The bill must be reduced, therefore, tn the respects named, to wit: the ttem of poundage excluded, and the charge for watchman reduced as suggested,” COURT OF OYER AND TERMUNER.

The Bankruptcy Law—An sion, Before Judge Benedict. In the Matler of Jultus Klambe, a Bankrupt.— Judge Benedict has just rendered his decision in this case. On the 6th of November, 1869, the per- sonal property of Klambe was seized by the sheriff by virtue of an attachment under the laws of the State. After the levy of the attachment two suits were commenced in the Marine Court of New York against Uhe bankrupt, in which judgments were obtained and executions issued and delivered to the sheriu. After such levy the debtor filed luis petition in bank- ruptcy, under which he has been declared bankrupt, and its property having been converted into money oy the trustee The Important Deci* now 1n his hands for distribution, gross amount of the estate 18 $1,668, without deducting expenses. The amount of the two judg- ments inthe Marine Court is $ The amount of the prior attachment was 10. The estate having been converied inio by consent of parties without prejudice tothe rights of the juag- ment creditors and the attaching creditor, and subject to the order of the Court, the judgment creditor now moves for an order directing the payment of the judgment in tull in preference to any other creditor, upon the ground that by the Bankrupt act the attachment was Geebererd. and there having been a bona Ade levy under the executions upon tue filing of the peti- ton the lien of the executions 18 saved by the act, and the judgment creditors are accordingly entitled to be paid tn full. In his decision Judge Benedict says that he can- not assent to this view of the effect of the Bankrupt act in @ case like the present one. In the present case all the right which the judgment creditor had acquired was by a levy on [i a already subject to an attachment to its full value. Such levy gave the judgment creditor no security, and doce not entitle him to apply to this court for payment of hig judgment in fuil out of the’ proceeds of the estate. His Honor’s determination is based upon the assumption that the prior attachment was a vona fide proceeding, instituted in good faith, to collect a debt due. The good faith of that proceed- ing, although questioned by the judgment creditor, seems to be shown by the papers before his Honor. If, however, the judgment’creditor desires a full ex- amination as to that point he will be permitted to have a reterence at his expense to determine that question, and the qgecision of the present motion Will pe delayed until the coming in of the report. If such reference, however, be not taken within five days au order will be entered denying the motion, SUPREME COURT-—SPECIAL TERM. A Weutchester County Contested Case. Betore Judge Pratt. wm. E.

The Alleged Eighth Ward Murder—More Con- flicting Statements—Whst Iwo Wit- nesses Saw—Romarkable Caso. Two more witnesses in the case of Peter Cassidy, alleged to have been thrown from the fourth story window of his room, at 70 King street, by bis wife, Ann, on the afternoon of the 4th inst., were exam- ined yesterday before Coroner Rollins, aud notwith- standing both of them saw the fali which resulted tn Cassidy's death, they swore to an entirely diferent state of facts, and both are equally positive that they cannot be mistaken, The testimony is so conflict- ing, thouigh the witnesses on either side appureutiy desire to tell the truth, that itis extremely dificult to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Coroner Rolling announces this case to be one of the most remarkable that has come under his notice, and there seems to the Coroner and others to be no immediate prospect of unravelling the mystery. The farther the investigation proceeds the more complicated it becomes. Subjoined will be found the main points in the testimony of the additional witnesses :— Margaret McGraw, a bright, intelligent girl of thirteen years of age, living at Wo. 79 King street, in the rear, deposed that on the afternoon oi the 4th inst. she heard Peter Cassidy and his wite quarreiling, and saw her go for au officer and return with one; they went upstairs to de cet ’3 room and spoke to him; imme. diately afterward the olilcer passed the door of the room where the witness lives; witness went out on the half landing and then saw Mrs. Cassidy standing on her landing by the door; Cassidy’s dvor was open etght or ten inches, which euvabled the witness to see Cassidy distinctly; at this time there were no words passed between Cassidy and his wite; Cassidy went to the window, and the witness could see nim sharpen a kuife on the stone; tn the nwantime Mrs, Cassidy stood on the laniing; the next thing the witness heard was the two boys in the room orying out that their father had salen out of the window; as soon as Mrs. Cassidy heard the alarm she ran down stairs, jollowed by the witness, to the yard, where they found deceased; she (Mrs, Cassidy) dia not go in the room aster the warm was given, but ran directly down siairs; the witness ts positive that at tne time de- ceased fell out of the window Mrs. Cassidy was not in the room, but standing on the linding. Catharine McDonough, living on the second floor, front honse, No, 79 King street, says that she was attracted to the back window of her room on the afternoon of the 4th instant by @ disturbance in the rear house; the only thing the witmess saw was aeceased came to the window, resting his liand on the window sill or stone looking out of the window; deceased Lad no knile in his hand that the witness could ee; did not gee him sharpen any knife; while deceased was in that position the witness swears that she aistinowy Sato Mrs. Cassidy come up vehing him and throw him out with bok her hands; when he fell out Mrs. Cassidy and the largest of her boys looked out of the window and thenran down stairs; the witness is positive that she saw Mrs, Cassidy throw deceased out of the window; did not hear her make use of any expres- sion when she did it. Captain Kollins has farther adjourned the investi- gation to give Captain McDonuell time to procure other witnesses, if any are to be found. In the meantime Mra.
