Tne eevernmans claim that unmanufaciured Russia emp and Maniia hemp are ‘‘like” articles within the meaning of the treaty, and that, therefore, the imposition of forty dollars a ton was properly made. It is also contended on the partof the pireranens. that the duties thus exacied, or what 13 claimed to have been in excess, cannot be refunded, for the fonnon tha the provision cited from. the treaty 1s not and was not at the time of the importation of the article referred, to was not in force as law, because that treaty, being a& commer- Clal treaty could not operate of itself, but required Jegisiative action to give it effect as law, and that Do such legislative aid was given. It was further suggested that the treaty, being a commercial one— and to that extent binding on the nation as a whole—did not and could not take eifect as a law so as to be obligatory upon individual oitivers and pine without the aid of express Congressional legislation. ‘or the yplaintit It is contended that this interpre- tation of the treaty is opposed tothe provisions of the federal constitution, which declares that all treaties made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, Coun- Sel for plant ciced eminent authority in support Of his view of the law ou this point, Case siill on, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. give me up before Mr. Gook—~Uip to tue Sd of Roveavor what were your feel- at large—suspicion of everything. his Sete hi be than I did my life, and I love ‘The witness was cross-examined at great length, Mr js beaeee org be ‘you Kinney (atinan vcmnpenrate: gnd then Mra.

T. Stewart & Ce.’s Old Suit Against the Executors of Wm. H. Burroughs. Before Judge Brady, 4. T. Stewart et al. vs. Executors Wm. H. Bur- roughs.—In the seven yeurs that have passed since this suit was begun the case has been too frequently before the courts and the leading tacts too indelibly impressed upon the public mind through their re- peated publication in the HERALD to reyuire a present extended repetition of them.. Wm. H. Bur- Toughs for the last sixteen years of his life was a partner in the house of A. T. Stewart & Co. He had a sixth-fortieth interest. He leit by will the butik of his property, cou- sisting of this interest, to his wife, and the remainder divided among his children and kins people. His interest proved to be worth about $1,000,000, and Mr. Stewart had paid over to the executor some $700,000, when alleged frauds were discovered in the deceased’s accounts and entries tn the book. ‘he iirst discovery of alleged fraud was a note to the order of one Van Rensselaer for $10,000, | purporting to have been given by the firm and charged to the partnersnip, which, 1t was claimed should have been charged to Mr. Burroughs indivi- ‘dually. On the executor refusing to allow this claim , Stewart would make no further payments. A suit was brought to compel the further payment of Mr. Burroughs’ interest, The case was ordered before Mr. Theron R. Strong as referee. ‘This was in 1863. This investigation ny still pending. Mortimer, the executor, was enjoined from paylug out any more moneys on account of the bequests without an order irom the Supreme Court. The case came up to-day on a motion for the payment by. the executor of $10,000 to Mrs. regen Ee $500 to her children and $4,000 counsel fees. Mr. Van Winkle and ex-Judge Mitchell urged the ranting of of the motion. Several aiiidavils were read the point, and a sort of balance sheet, a0 to apaate, submitted, showing that of money, bonds, securities and real estate belonging to the estate there 1s more than enougo, aamitting the justness of all Mr. Stewart's claims, to pay the sums asked for. Ex- Judge Hilton, who represented Mr. Stewart, in- sisted that there should be no further pay- ments of money until the present suit was terminated, which was bow im @ lair way of being brought to a speedy conclusion. He also “the only friend L had in. the world; i did not wish pre 1'loved hina; he lores a, ‘and he been alive the other day when Mi bell insulted me he would j de him, on bis bended poy apologize. have made him, vere in’ an emphatic ma tence wae deli nner, ope ast Slowed ty | ‘applause by the audience: and was followed oy Celene Court directed the Deputy 8 age to arrest all those who Tei applauded, but that jooking around, de- clared he could not find any.

A. T. Stewart and Warden’s claims overratea to $710,442 07. They nad expended over $100,000 in the case already, and he contended that this expen- diture should be borne by the other side. In reply to him it was insisted that no such sum as that stated could have been expended; that Mrs. Bur- roughs and her children were greatly in need of money; that the counsel had earned their money and there was no reason why they should longer want for it, and that the suit, instead of being brought to a speedy close, promised to continue for years longer, After about two hours in this sort of Counter talking the Judge took tne papers, reserv- ing his decision.

He kept @ grocery store at 1,024 Second avenue, and it was alleged by the prosecu- tion that he wilfully set fire to the premises. A number of witnesses wero called for the defence, clerks and parties who slept in the premises, to show that the fire was occasioned by a broken stove, the fire in which must have been communicated to the fixtures, It was shown that the accused baa his stock und fixtures insured for $1,600 im the Me- chanics and Traders’ Fire Insurance Company, and that his stock of goods more than covered that amount. Mr. Howe also examined a number of wit- nesses to prove the excellent Ce of Baer, after which the Recorder said that it would be unjust upon the proof to convict the defendant of any of- fence. The jury promptly rendered a verdict of not guilty without leaving thelr, seats. > BURGLARIES AND LARCENIES.
