Taking Care of an Estate, Before Judge Cardozo, The Bowne estate, consisting of a large amount of real estate in Brooklyn, this city and Westches- ter county, 18 proving an expensive one to manage, now that itisin the courts. About a year ago Mr. James M, Sweeny was appointed receiver of the estate by Judge Cardozo. He kept the place about ayear, paying a lawyer $3,500 for services and the same sum to collectors of the rents, Recently Mr. Nathantel Jarvis was appointed a referee, and, among other things, reported $5,000 to be paid to Mr. Sweeny. This report was excepted to, and Judge Sutheriand yesterday rendered the following decision in the case, sustaining the report of the referce:— DECISION. Considering the nature, situation and value of the property which passed temporarily uader the trust, care, custody and manageiment of the receiver, the amountoi the bond given by him for the due execution of bis duues as receiver and the responsi- Duity incurred by dim in the execution of such duties, and especially considering that there was and is no exception by any one to the allowance by the referee of the cuarge of $3,500 as actually paid by him fo his counsel, trom which | can oaly inier that all parties conceded that there were mauy diMeoult and extraordinary questions connected with the due execution of the receiver's trust and duties. | cannot say that the amount allowed by the referee for the receiver's services was so un- reasonably large as to call upon me to revise er mo- dity the amount so allowed. The report of the re- Jeree is thereiore confirmed, and the exception of the report as to or 10 respect of the amount so allowed by the reteree to the receiver for his ser- Vices, annulled without costs to either party or any one on tas motion. Of course this decision 1s made on the assumption that the statute reguiating the commissions of executors, &¢., does not cou- trol or fix the amount to be allowed the receiver for ‘his services, or was conceded by the counsel for the excepting party on the argument. That Forty-second Street Railroad Depot. Before Judge Sutherland. The following deciston was given yesterday morn- ing by Judge Sutherland, of the Supreme Court, in regard to the motion for a stay of proceediags upon an appeal in the case of the new Harlem Ravroad depot in Forty-second street, After the appointment of the Commissioners of Appraisement vy Judge | Caraozo, 1t will be remembered that Mr. A. L. Kipp, one of the owners, appealed frem an interlocutive order. Counsel for the railroad company insisted on this appeal being argucd at the General Term, while Mr. Kipp’s lawyer wished no argument until a | his finalappeal from the decisien of the Commus- | Imnited divorce, but afterwards withdrew the suit sioners, The motion to this effect, it will be seen, was denied:— DE ON. While I doubt my power regniarly to make the order asked fer. vei 1 would say that, assuimmeg that L had the power, | cannot see how Mr. Kipp can pos- sibly be injured by my deciiuing to exercise it, I consirue Judge Cardozo’s order as staying all proceedings on or under the confrma- tion of any conirmation of the report of the commissioners untit the determination of any then pending appeal (from his order appotating the commissioners) either in the Supreme Court or Court of Appeais. ‘There 1s in the Albany Lave Journal of February 4, 1871, page 96, the heat note of a recent decision of the Cgurt of Appeais, from whieh {infer that that court _ recently decided to. the eifect Uhat, in case the Term should affirm Judze Cardozo’s order appointing the commissioners in this matter, the Courtol Appeals wouid hear and de- termine an appeal trom the General Term order of atirmation without an inspection of any appeal irom auy order or judginent contiriing the report Ol the commissioners, whether the comunissioners had or had not yet made their report.

A Di USTED WATIONAL UARDS Some Light on Recruiting for the New York State MititineGetting on a Soldier Less Tustead of More Toan Wus Bargained For. Franz Kubrichta about six months ago jomed Company B, Fifty-Gfth regiment, New York State Milita, He did not join a fof military ardor, and, furthermore, his militia experience since has not enraptured him with military life. Mauy others may sing, “I Love the Miltary,” but not he. This state of facts and others of equal, if not more, in- terest was developed ina motion made yesterday before Judge Barnard, o1 the Superior Court, to vacate @ mandamus ordering that Kubrichta pe discharged from the regunent. Tue mandamus waa issued by Judge Brady and was directed tu Colonel Wiliam Alien, commanding the regiment, and to bey 9 Swobodin AMeriusky, commanding com- any B. “Why does the man want to leave the regiment? the Judge asked his counsel, “He was swindied mito enlisting in the first place.” How so?" ‘He way told that if be joined the regiment he pied severai days, and was larg: tended by | liquor dealers, regarding Whose right in the matter of trade marks has neve been ield deiendants’ de W like the plamults’, ; except that where former used & A's | and @ Cross ihe r used thiee X's and a crown.

LT ie ADMIRA Collision—The Case of the Steamers North Star and Ella Warley—Important Deci- sion by Judge Woodruff. On the 9th day of February, 1863, “in a smooth sea, a night not very dark and the wind light, with full opportunity to each to see and watch the light of the other, and when, in fact, each vessel was seen at such a distance from the other as would fur- nish ample opportunity for any emergency,” the steamers Ella Warley, outward, and the North Star, inward bound, collided off the Jersey coast, near Long Branch, with the total loss of the former ves- sel and cargo. Of course the North Star did not come off scatheless and when the owners of the Ella Warley lidelled the North Star the owners of the latter vessel, Vornelius Vanderbiit and others, in a cross libel, claimed heavy damages from the owners of the Ella Warley, William H. Reynolds and others, It is now seven years since the collision, but the case held its place on the docket of the District Court from term to term till tually adjudicated upon by Judge Blatchford about a year ago. The decision of the Court, after a protracted trial and a most ex- haustive process of eliciting ali the testimony that was possible by opposing connselto get from the few witnesses who could throw any light upon the question at issue—which vessel was culpabie for the collistion—was that both vessels were equaily negli- gent and equally cuipable. Of course this decision pleased peither side and the consequence was an appeal to the Circuit Court in Admiraity, Judge Woodruff presiding. After golng over the whole ground asecond time counsel rested the case and sustaining the decision of the court below, leaving the Nbellants in this cross suit in the same position they Were at the start, and certainly as cross.as Wo litigauts who ueither won nor lost couid be, vir William H. Reynolds ¢ North Star and Coruelius Vauderbilt vs. Willian i, Reynolds and others (cross |tbels), DECISION Judge Woodraf deciting said:—The libellants in the first named cause are the owners of tue steam- stip Elia Warley, and the libellants im the secoud cause are the owners of the steamship fhe North Star. auch seeks to recover damages caused by a collision beiween ihe two steamships en the evening of February 9, 1803, This collision ovcarred at sea of the coust of New Jersey, opposite or a little beiow Long Branch, me four miles frou shore. The’ Ella Warley was on a voyage from New York to New Orleans, and ihe North Siar on her voyage from Key West to New York. There | is an Irreconcileable conflict between the witnesses as to the facts in the case, and counsel on either side present strong cases in favor of either client. In such a case the Witnesses, Who are concerned in the management of the respective Vessels, con- scious that the serious consequences which ensued must be imputed to the fault of some of them, and feeling the heavy responsibility under which they acted, have a very strong motive to 1ep- resent their conduct most favorably to them- | selves, and In some particulars tuat feeling has led to untruth, or has made the im accurate. To whom, in particu judgment, appuicavie I shalt leave to be inferre ) from my conciustons. The general rule of nav tion is, that when lwo st ainers are meeung other on courses directly opposite each other, or on | courses so nearly opposite as to involve danger of | collision, it is the daty of each to port the heim and pass on the port side of each other. ‘The general course of the vessels in question would sugges: that they were neeting within the proper consiruction } of thatrule, As tne Ella Warley, after she saw the North Star, starboardea her helm and attempted to pass the starboard side of the North Stay, the effort on her pehalf 1s to show that her position and her observations upon the pos.tioa aad course of (ie latter vessel Were such to withdraw her from the obt:- gation of this rae and justify what she did. rhe in or ihe evening, was oif Barnegat and five six miles from the shore. From that her course was taken “north by east | halt and that course was maintained until she | saw the lignt of the Ella Warley, the tavent beng io steer on a direct course for the lightship, about The Ella Warley lett port in charge of a Sandy flook pilot in the aiter- ‘The piiot, on jJeaving, lustrucied the master to keep her on a southeast course for a quarter or half an hour, and that would carry her near the lightship, outside of all vessels bound in, and then he could shape his course as he pleased, or (48 the master staies the You of everything.” ‘The testimony 1s that the Ella. Warley did proceed on a southeast course to and a littie beyond the lighiship, and at eiguto’clocx took her course south hail West and afterwards changed to south, shortly after which the North Star was reported. Ii these courses pe #ssumed, it is true ihat the two vessels Were not approaching each other on precisely the same Hine, but on two les Which Gonverged to a point at or near the Lightship, und varying only ene point irom each otuer. Was there any other imdication of the posiuion and course of these vessels? and, if so, what manceuvre on the part of eltuer or both did it teachy ‘The ma hoeuvre actually made by each resulied in the col- on. That 1s Lo Say, Liat ihe Norih Siar, alter sne v the Eila Warley ported (conforming In that respect to the rule), Went more to the east ward; the Ella Wariey (departing from the rule) when she saw the North star, went also to the | eusiward, and the collision followed. If at the mo- | ment of observation the Ella Warley was not to the eastward of the course of the Norih Star, and was to the eastward of aline drawn from the latter in the direction which corresponds with the Ella Warley’s course reversed, then the North «tar | must be seen over the starboard bow of the Elia Warley aud the Ella Wariey must be seen over the port bow of the North Star. To my miad the weignt | of the evidence Is_preponderating thas this was tne actual relative position and course of the two v seis When eaci Was seen by the other, which wa or very nearly tie same time, It at makes the wit- Res+e5 ON boli Sides Lot Only harmonize, but corro- borate each other. But the mismanagement on bourd the Ulla Warley was not confined } to the violation of the rule referred to. When the danger of collision became imminent her | oilicer knew it, or he was so careless in his observa- ons a8 Not to see What became Obvious. His failure to see the red or white light of the North Star coun- tenances the last alternative. He ran his vessel at ‘ull speed to toe destraction which was impending. He should have siowed his engine, stopped and backed, Even fwult on the part of the North star did not relieve him of that duty. On the other hand, the North Star ported and ran to starboard im obedience to the rule, and when the danger became imminent slowed, stopped and backed, as was her duty to do, My conviction of the fuuit of the Ella Warley ts very decide CONCLUSIONS. My conclusions nereupon are:—The vesseis were approaching each other on a line or Lines so nearl, coincideat that the rule reqolving each to port the helin aud pass tothe mgnt, it change was made, operated upon them. Before the Ella Warley bad made the proper observations upon the jights of tue North Star, and yet acting upon the idea that there Was danger of colitsion if she hela her course, sne starboarded, i violation of the raie. The North Star ported at the proper tine, and was justified in ‘The Ella Wariey was in fault in not se d and doing so. ing the ghia on the white—which were visible, which would have enabled her to correct her first error, ‘The kia Warley was grossly at fauit in not slowing, stoppmg and backing when the collision was imminent, and so averting or diminishing the injury.

Ii the Ella Warlev had not sturboarded an Violation of the ruie, the collision would not have occurred. If tne lights of the North Siar had been properly screened the error of the Ella Warley would have been discovered, and the accident would not have happened.
