Kinsman va, Cunnington, Executor.—In 1869 Daniel Kinsman died, leaving In this city about $80,000 worth of realestate, Being a widower and child- less he lett this property by will to some forty diser- ent persons, mostly poor people, who had been kind to him in his old age. The defendant was executor of the will, The plaintiff, a nephew of the deceased, attempted to set the will aside, on the ground of insanity, The case has been fre- quently before the courts, and came up yester- day on a motion to open @ judgment found against the platntit for not presenting the cause of action. Mr, Amos G. Hull, in opposition to the motton, entered into quite a lengthy recital of the detalis of the case, revealing a queer if not in- teresting complexity of facta. The suit, he said, originated through indignation of the plaintiff, J. Burndam Kinsman, in not being remembered in his uncie’s will, This Kinsman, he preceeded to relate, served as lieutenant colonel on General Ben But- ler’ staff, not as a soidier, however, but as chief of negro atfairs in New Orleans, After the contents of the will had been made known he came to the executor and demanded $40, and said if this Was ot given to him he would bring on General Butier to break the will, and would compel the expen- diture of every dollar left by the old man In copes it The executor refased compitance with this de- mand, and thereupon a sult was begun to set aside the will, All efforts before the Surrogate to thisend, however, were ineffectual, and therefore the present sult was commenced. After its commence- ment the first thing done was on an ex parte order procuring the appolutment of a receiver, to whom tie executor turned over all the property, The next thing was, without demanding an. papers from the executor, io procure ai order for his arrest for contempt, and in order to save self being lodged a night in Jail the executor had to pay $200 to a sheriff's oficer, Meantime the suit Was put off a long time by the plea of counset being sick, till Judge Cardozo finally said this sort of thing was “played ouv’ and dismissed the complaint. Three orders were also ob- tained Ly gos 4 the plaintii? to file security for costs; but it was impossibie to find him. He charac- terized tne plaintit! as an adventurer, aud the whole proceedings as a high-handed outage. Mr. John £, Develin msisted for the motion that the suit was brought in good faith; that the defanit upon which the judgment was obtained was unavoidabie, and that the same should be opened. The Judge took the papers, reserving the decision. Assessment for a Sewer. In re, Edward Sheahy.—Application was made to set aside an assessment for a sewer on the ground that about one hundred feet of it extend beyond the boundartes of the assessment district, and that he vertheless the whole sewer is charged to the dls- trict, The claim 1s that under the statute this vilates the whiwe assessment. The cost of the sewer was $80,000. For the city 1¢ was claimed that the cost of this one hundred feet was Jess than one per cent of the whole cost. The act it was insisted was to prevent fraud and irregularity, nelther of which was set up in thts case. At the farthest tt was contended that ail the Court could do was to take oif the excess of the assessment, Decision was reserved, Preferring the Genoral Sessions to the Special Sessione. the People vs. Eliza Hill.—The defendant was taken before the Court of Special Sessions on the 6th Inst. to answer a charge of larceay, It was agreed to have the trial set down for the 111h inst, An application was made to have the trial trans. ferrea to the General Sessions, It was urged by her counsel that the one appearing as her counsel at . the Special Sessions had no permission from her to agree upon @ trial in that court.

The German procession mast have produced an Immence reyenue to the members of the “light- fingered fraternity” on Monday; for, notwithstand- ing the extreme caution exercised by these “gentle- men” when piying their ayocations, a goodly number fell into the bands of the police and a con- siderable amount of money was found on some of them, Fifteen pickpockets were arrested for “working” the procession in Broadway and other parts of the city.

After watching him for fliteen minutes he saw him go over to an old man, Who Was tn the crowd at the corner of Franktort aud Cuathum streets looking at the pro- cession, aud put his lands in his coat pocket, evi- deatly with the intention to steal, The Court—Are you positive you saw him trying the pockets of the parttes you mention?

Uis brother, a gentiemanty looking youn: Jetlow, came forward and asked the Court to remand the case until Thursday, alleging tuat it was impos sible Conrad could have lent hinseif to such a dis- graceful occupation; he would prove that the young man was invocent. The officer was re- cated, but the testimony to which he had previously sworn did not deviate in the least from the latter examination, ‘The Court—The oflicer 18 very positive that he saw Conrad “doing” the crow «i asx the Court can only judge from the evidence {t finds hin guilty.

ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT, A Snenk Thief Capture He Enters a House and Sccretes Himself In a Room—A Man Clubbed to Insensibility, All the returns to this court yesterday were heavy. Justice Scott was on the bench. Philip Reilly, ving his residence as Forty-eighth strect and Fifth avenue, was arraigned for attempted robbery. About ten o'clock on Monday night Mr. Frederick Gusweller, of No, 350 First avenue, had locked his bedroom door and retired to rest, when he thourht he heard some noise right beneath hs bed, He immediately got up, set the gas Llazing, and, thinking he was about to encounter a tomcat, or something of that sort, armed himself with @ broomstick, With this he commenced POKING UNDER THE BED. Ina moment he strack something solid, but hn. pressionable, and, loosing, he beheld two black eyes glaring out at him from beneath a shaggy pair of eyebrows. The sneak robber, finding he waa caugiit, crawled out, and Mr, Gusweiler, catching him by the hatr of the head, held Lim with A GRIP OF STEEL. In vain he tried to get away. His captor was too powerful for him, and kept htm in his clatehes til an officer appeared and took him into custody. Reiliy, Who is somewhat noted as a thief, ts dabbed by the nickname of “Philadelphia.” He is @ rough, aud, no doubt, a dange rovs customer, and it may, perhaps, be well for Mr. Guswetler that he was strong enough to deal with him, The Justice com- mitted him for trial. TERRIBLY CLUBRED. Theodore Centre came mto conrt with his bh Wrapped up in linen, when was all vloody. u rhe He tld te magistrate he had beeu arrested by oMeers Lesile and Smith, of the Seventeenta precinct, aud that they had clubbed him to the extent of MAKING HIM INSENSIBLE. The Justice sent for the oficers, and the case will probably prove to be one savage clubbing, In which the blue-coated conservators of the peace sometimes indulge, A PICKPOOKEY CASB. James Biddle, & colored youn, was trying his hand as pickpocket of Monday and got caught. He was AMONG THE CROWD that gathered in the neighborhood of Tompkins square. ‘The person he attempted to victimize was @ comely-looking German lady named Margaret Katnmererg. of 157 Kast Fourth street. She was ous to see the great nout of her country people, and was standtig near a stoop, facing the square, when abe feit the prigoner’s hand in her dress pocket. She at once gave alarm, and & police ulcer coming up arrested Biddle. The accused PROTESTED HIS INNOCENCE, sald he was a waiter, and nalvely declared that his hand had slipped into the lady's pocket by the merest accident, ‘The magistrate refused to believe thts ingendous statement, and had the prisoner locked up to answer at the Special Sessions, ANOTHER OF THE LIGHT-FINGERED. James Hurly, ov, as be ia famihariy known by his pals, “Snub Jiminy,’ was detected by oilicer Beam, of the Sevenicenta precinet, trylug to reileve au unknown lady tn avenue A of her wallet, Hurly anected to be an enthustaitic spectator of the grand German «isplay, and Was constantly running in and out among the crowd, The oficer had nis eye on iin, howorer, and nabbed him quite unexpectedly.
