COURT OF GENERAL SE33I0%5. Before Gunning S. Bedford, City Judge. MOMICIDE IN WEST HOUSTON STREET. Assistant District Attorney Fellows put Thomas Wiggins, a colored maa, at the bar for trial, the charge being that on the 7th of September last he struck Joseph Flynn a blow on the head with an iron bar, inflicting a wound which resulted in his death on the 27th of the same month. The first witness examined for the People was Loutsa Vogel, tr the employ of Mr. Miller, who keeps a furnishing store at the southwest corner of Broad- way and West Houston street. The workshop is in the rear; the prisoner was employed as porter; on the evening, a man came in and asked the prisoner if that was @ laundry; he said it was not, and told him to ge out; he did so, and was followed by the prisoner, Who, upon returning, said that the stranger struck him first and he returned the blow; there Was an iron bar there used to fasten the door. ms Bridget Wynne, also a work girl, gave similar tes- mony. Captain McDermott, at that time connected with the Bighth precinct, testificd that on the 7tn of Sep- tember iast & an was brought to the station house suitering from a scalp wound in the back part of ‘he head; he réquested tne captain to have his Weund dressed, and the district surgeon was sent for to attend to him; Flynn returned to the station house that night and he sent nim to the hospital; on the z7ih of that month he was notified by the Coro- ner that Fiyan bad died in the hospital; the prisoner Was then arrested, and stated that the deceased came into the werkshop of 609 Broadway and in- quired if that was @ laundry; the prisoner said it Was not; "he deceased went into the alleyway and turned round and shoved a bundle of clothes into Nis (the prisouer’s) f hat he lost his temper and picked ap the tron bar and struck Flynn, who fell on one Knee, The vaptain said that tue bar was three feet seven inches long, two inches wide and two and a half inches thick, By consent Mr. Fellows read the deposition of the house surgeon at Bellevue Hospital, which stated that Joseph Flynn was recetved into the noapital on the 7th of September and was suffering from a scalp wound one inch and a half long, and died on Sep- tember 26. Counsel for the prisoner claimed that there was no proof of the death of the person allegea to have been struck by the accused. This point was under discussion for some time, and the argument culmt- nated in Mr, Howe consenting to offer a plea of man- slauglter 1a the third degree, with the understand- that he should have time to prepare aftidavits of good character and a statement by the prisoner of the transactton, ary Mr. Fellows said that as he believed the would render no lugher verdict than manslaughter im the third “os, fee he would accept that plea, A juror was witadrawn and the plea recorded. Judge Bedford directed him to be remanded til Friday, when sentence will be pronounced. ALLEGED LARCENY.

Herring had been arrested, as Whitley states, for the purpose of letting it appear to other counterfeiters that he was not a spy, while Acker- man, who went H 8 jared that Her- ring’s arrest and the ball were mere shams and 11 nO way intended to be acted upon. ‘This was the case forthe government.

Comprehensive History of the Suit, As the great sugar case, as it has been appropri- ately called, recently tried before Judge Blatchford 4nd a jury in the United States District Court, has been one of deep interest to the merchants and im- porters of this city, we give to-day a comprehensive history of the suit, which includes all the prominent and important features developed at the trial, The title of the suit was— The United States vs. Richard Baker, Jr., Witham @. Weld, George F. Weld and Frederick Baker, Com- prising the Firm of William F. Weld & Co.— This was @ common law sult brought in January, 1869, to recover the value of 83,045 mats of sugar, imported by the defendants in the ship Frankitn, from Manila, in October, 1867. The United States claimed that the importation was forfeited under the first section of the act of Con- gress of March 3, 1863, which provides that if the owner, consignee or agent of any goods, wares and merchandise shall make or attempt to make an entry thereof by means of any false or fraud- ulent document or paper, or by means of any false or fraudulent practice or appliance whatsoever, the goods or their value shall be forfeited. Two counts were contained in the declaration, The first count charged the defendants substantially With making an entry,of the sugar by means of a certain document or paper (which was an entry for warehouse), 1n which the weight of the sugar, which Was expressed in piculs of Manila, was reduced in the entry by the importers to an equivalent weight in pounds avolrdupois as a basis for the estimation of the amount of duties payable on the sugar, aud was therein alleged to have been stated by them at quantity much less than the true weight, with fraudulent intent. In the second count it was charged that the defendants made entry of the sugar by means of a certain false and fraudulent ractice and appliance, namely, by ye the nited States Weigher to make a false return of the weight of the sugar, upon which false return, it is claimed by the government, tl:e cuties were paid. The evidence showed that the weight expressed in piculs on the warehouse entry was reduced to pounds by the defendants, at the rate of 18344 pounds per. picul, while the case on the part of te liege was that the true rate reduction was 13034 per picul, aud that the action of the defendants was with full Knowledge of the true rate and with invent to facilitate their subsequent proceedings. ‘The Judge ruled out evidence oftcred by the govern- ment to show the actual equivalent of the Manila picul of sugar in pounds, and also a regulation of the decretary of the ‘Treasury, issued in 1868, fixing vhe rate of reduction of the Manila picul for customs Purposes at 139} pounds per picul, and only allow.d evidence to go in showing the usage of the Custom House Officers in New York respecting the reduction of che picul in entries of sugar from Manila. The Judge ruled on this point that it was for the plain- tiffs to show that by such usage the rate of reduc- tion at the time of making the entry in question was 1894, pounds per picul, and that the deiendants haa Knowledge of this usage. Entry clerks at the Custom House were called to give testimony as tothe usage with respect to the rate of reduction employed by them, and also as to actual entries by the defendants. Of the latter there were six belore the entry in suit and twelve or thir- teen. subsequent. All but one of the prior entries were reduced at 13934 pounds per picul; the subse- quent ones at 1834; pounds. With respect to the offence charged in the second couni the testimony was chiefly that of the United States Weigher and his forewan. It was substan- arg! to the effect that one Bodfish, in the copies of the defendants, had askea the weigher to see the de- fendant, Frederick Baker, before he made bis return of the sugar. The foreman accordingly had an in- terview with Baker at his office, where the amount and manner of the deduction were dis. cussed and agreed upon, and the amount of compensation for the false return left to be settled with Bodflsn. The evidence showed ‘nat Bodtish subsequently saw the weigher and foreman at their ofice, and paid as from the defendant Baker. Upon this a return of the weight was made at about 66,0u0 pounds less than the actual weight, as found by the weigher; and on the weight go returned tle duties were paid. In the Meantime the defendauts, it 1s Claiu.ed, according to the evidence, sold the sugar to various parties at weights amouuting to about 38,000 pounds more than the weight returned bythe weigher. There was alse correspondence between. Richard and Frederick. Baker, as going to prove that the trans action was just as the witnesses had testified. The defendant, Frederick Baker, on the other hand, testified that he had never sald anything to Bodfish about the weight of the sugar, or authorized him todo anything cting it. He further added that a person representing himself to be the weigher of the sugar called on him and offered to make a false return for a certain consideraiion, and that he refused to have anytaing te de with it. The defend- ant, Richard Baker, also gave testimony, tending to explain the correspundeuce offered by the govern- te ment A question of considerable importance and in- terest respecting the construction oi the penal pro- visions of the first section of the act of March 1863, under which the suit had been brought, was raised upon the trial, and settled by Judge Blatch- ford 1m nis charge © the jury. The detendaats claimed that the term “entry” in the penal provi- sions should be construed as applicable only to the original entry Paper or document just produced by the importer, which in this instance was an entry for warehouse ta the usual form, and@ that the mak- ing of such entry was complete upon the execution of the usual bond by the importer for the amount of the estimated duties, and the delivery to him by the customs officers of the permit for the unloading of the goods, #0 that. apy document or papers, such a3 the weigher’s return, thee te presented, and any practices or applian such a8 that of the allegea pret subsequently transpiring, ceuld not form a of the transaction of making an entry under statute nor be admitted as having any beariag upon, or connection with, any charge of falsity or fraudulent imtent in the original ware- entry. nodee Blatchford char, the jury upon this point, in accordance with the request of the plaints Counsel, that the term “entry” ia the statutory pro- vision Was not to be restricted to any particular Sutherland.—Nosg. 1, 2, 2709, 61, 260, 2692, 21, 61, 67, $1, 1883, 80, 95, 203, | 855, ab, 47, 1001, '106.

THE EXPORT MOVEMENT. ‘whe owregate amount of exports (exclusive of Specie) from Ine ys of New York for the week ending March 7, 1871, was $6,204,295, MONBY FOUR TO FIVE PER CENT. The money market Was about steady at four to five per cent, with considerable doing at the latier figure in some portions of the street toward the Close of banking hours, The lowest rate accepted was four per cent even on government collaterals, Prime commercial paper continues quoted at 6a Tper cent discount. There 1s more disposition to refuse dealings at less than 7 per cent, owing to the generally recetved idea that money between the 15th of March and 15th of April will be active enough to command at least that figure on eall loans, in con- sequence of the drain of currency to the rural dietricts in connection with the business known as ‘April set- Uements.”” The 1st of April in che country at large, among the farmers and rural industrial classes, is @period corresponding to the lat of May in New York city, when engagements of labor, payments for material, and rentals of farms, &c., are made each year, thus occasioning an active movement of currency from hand to band and requiring the country banks to draw upon thelr deposits in this city for funds to meet the demand, As may be in- ferred, the activity 1s all over within a week or two after April 1, and the money flows back to New York to swell the tmmense volume of currency which Is always the ryle in this city in the summer months. To-day the larger opera(ors in stocks were reported to be making extensive arrangements for money at Mberal and above-the-market rates of interest in order to bridge over the time to April 15, and 80 place themselves beyond the reach of the contin. gencies of stringent money. Foreign exchange was firmer and quoted 109% a 109% for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and 100}¢ @ 109% for sight bills, THE NEW LOAN. Washington advices report additional subscrip- tions to the new Joan to the extent of $1,000,000. THR TREASURY PROGRAMME FOR THE WERK. ‘The government will buy two millions of five- twenties to-morrow (Wednesday), and sell one mil- Mon of gold on Thursday. GOVERNMENTS LOWER. “The government list was heavy and lower in the five-twenties, steady in the ten-forties, actively weak in the currency sixes and strong and higher in the sixes of’81. The market was in general dull and for the present lacks speculative ipterest. The closing street prices were as follows:—United States currency Axes, 113% a 11344; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 1165¢ 8116%; Ao. do., coupon, 1165 a 115%; do. five-twen- tles, registered, May and November, 1120 1123; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 11244 a@ 11234; do. do,, 1864, do- do., 111% @ 11234; do. do,, 1865, do, do., 112 a 11244; do. do., registered, January and July, 110% a 111; do, do., 1865, coupon, da., 110% a 111; do. do, 1867, do. do,, 110% @ 111; do. do., 1868, do, do., 111% a 11136; do, ten-forties, registered, 1085 a 10876; do. do., coupon, 108% 9 109, GOLD STRONG—111% A 1113¢ A 111%. The gold market was strong and steady at 1113;, which was the unvaried quotation during almost the entire formal session of the board. But toward the close the market was “plumped” with several heavy lots—amounting in the aggregate to $3,000,000—the sale’ of which carried the price temporarily to 1113. The gold thus aisposed of was reported to be “long” gold, held alpce the an- nouncement of the surrender of Paris, when the re- puted buyer of it anticipated the beginning of a specie movement from America to Europe, which would lift the price from Its then figure— 113 a 114—up to 1260 a 125. It has been often sata that the war in Europe was a great disappomtment and folied the speculators at every turn. Its cessa- tion did not/bring the activity in the foreign mar- kets that was looked for and gold slowly yielded to an average of about 111%, The operator in this in- stance lost patience at last and gave the Gold Room his long kept hoard. The reaction, after so large and sudden @ sale, is due to the firmer tone of the foreign exchanges and to reports that the steamers to-morrow wiil take not jess than a million specie. The course of the market 1s shown in the tabie:— » 11% 2. 1g 3 @ 11135 market the rates ranged from 334 per cent for carrying to 1-64 for borrowing. The operations of the Guild Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleared. Gold balances 1,199,718 Currency balances, 1,351,987 The Westphalia, for Liverpool, took out $51,000 in specie. $21,951,000 STOOKS DULL AND LOWER. “The street” js beginning to ran upon the idea that stocks may be purchased just as cheaply after the Ist of April as they may now, and hence the day has been noteworthy for a compiete abatement of the activity which has been so decided a feature of the stock market for the past month. How far this opinion will prove correct remains to be seen, The general discounting of activity will do a great deal toward preventing it. Moreover the Secretary of the Treasury 18 nolens volens a “pull” and committed to the policy of keeping the money market easy in order that he may float the new loan. Lastly, the season ts a counterpart of that of 1869, when in the April stringency money on call was worth % a 3g per cent @ Gay, and stocks rose 3&2 percent a day: In fact the present occasion isone which offersa most favorable op- portunity for the exercise of the powers of divina- tion on the part of those who wish to try the ex- hilarating pleasure of a venture when the excitement and interest of the gamo will be so intensified, ‘The ramifications of the ‘‘vull” cliques are so wide- spread that it is hardly probable they can beat a retreat without making their present position more tenable. The Vanderbiit party are reported con- cerned in nalf a dozen of tne active stocks, rail- way and miscellaneous, which will probably ex- plain the inactivity of New York Central on the eve of its dividend, when it has usually sold at 101 a 102, its partieans being temporarily more intent upon newer favorites. The market was heavy and slowly gravitated to lower prices, but the changes were in the main unimpor- tant. Pacific Mail was tne strong feature and about the only firm stock on the list. The company, it will be noticed, contemplate increasing their steamers to three @ month on the route hetween New York and San Francisco.
