The Court adjourned ‘be the 15th of July to render decisions. Davia H. Lort'z vs. George A. Buckingham.—In ‘this case, which is the’ only one in the Last of de- @istons accompanied by an opinion, and in fact the @mby one possessing points of special public interest, ‘the previous judgment was reversed and judgment @faered for plaintiff on demurrer, with ieave to de- Seadant to answer on payment of costs. Judg> Imgrabam gives the opinion. The defendant, the @wner of a lot in Greenwood Cemetery, conveyed the same to plaintiff vy an absolute conveyance, ‘Zhe platntif executed at the same time tothe de- Sendant an instrument in writing, and agreeing to feeenvey the same to the aefendant on repayment te him of the consideration money, with @mterest, in one year. He wiso gave to the @efendant the privilege of interring in the 5 ed during the ear. The money not wing been repaid, the plaintiff treated it as a Wertgage aud commenced this action for the fore- @losure of it. The detendant demurred to the com- quaint upon ihe ground thal the same did not state Sufficient to constitute # course of action, @edgment was given in favor of the demurrer. ‘There can be no doubt, the Judge goes on to say, ‘that the conveyance by itself Was @ valid instru- ment, which the defendant has @ right to execute apd which the plain might accept. 1b was a yood gonsideratien and trausferred tne title to the lot to the plainut.

Delaplaine et al.—Jonn F, Delaplaine in 1852 contracted to sell to John R. Peters, for $30,000, certain lots in this city. @n the day fixed for the completion of the contract the wile of Delaplaine refused to join in the deeds, Mr. Delaplaine died in 1854, and his wife in 1846, and Mr. Peters in 1858. In March, 1869, after the @eath of all the original parties and seventeen years after the making of the contract the representatives @f Mr. Peters sued the heirs of Mr. Delapiaine for specific performance of contract, tne property hav- img meantime risen to the value of $300,000. In the Court veow the defendants claimed that the statute of imitations had now dismissed the com- yee. The pla.ntif appealed and urged two points— rat, that the action by the Code was one upon a sealed insirameut, and, secondly, that the right of action did not accrue till Mrs. gDelaplaine’s death. The defence urged that the action was not wiihin ‘whe meaning of the section of the Code to waich reference was made, and that it was not upon a sealed instrument, but for failure to perform a con- and within section intended to cover all actions yeh time of limitation 18 ten years, and tnat eause of action accrued immediately on failure to perform contract.

The Old Olympic Theatre Lease Controversy. Botles vs, Duf.—Few cases are more threadbare shan this, and yet very few turn up oftener in the eeurts. The matter came up yesterday on a motion by the de fendant, as receiver, to lease the Olympic Theatre property for a term of years. It was urged Ser the motion that Mr. Duif has a large interest, amounting to some 60,000, still m the property, and that leasing it on terms offered wouid de greatly to the advantage of all parties in interest. On bee half of the heirs and representatives of Mr, Trimole, deceased, 1 was insisted that Mr. Duff had now hat control of the property and its profits for the past eight years, apd that instead of his being entitled to $00,000, the Daiance was the other Way, and, farther, that the lease is intended to be given to a Mr. Hayes, his son-in-law, wulle he, in reality, will Fun the theatre himself, avd, finally, that other par- ties had offered $25,000 a year for the theatre alone and $0,000 @ year for the theatre and hotel and restaurant attached—mucn higher Meures than the Proposed lessee will give.

Before Recorder Hackett. It will be remembered that during the June term of this Court that John Gillespie, an officer of the municipal police, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with attempting to kill Wijiam W. Leroy, a brother officer of the same precinct. He was remanded for seutence till the lasi day of the term. Mr. Howe made a very powerful appeal to the Court yesterday in mitigation of punishment, stating that there were thirty witnesses in attendance, police captains and estimable citizens, all of whom were ready tovestify to his exemplary character and sober habits; that on the day of the occurrence Gil- lespie was on duty for twenty-four hours and took a glass of liquor upon an empty stomach, which ren- dered him perfectly unconscions of what he was do- ing, and natin view of the fact that ofveer Leroy and the prisoner were always ey, he p*. Howe) hoped that the kecorder would be lenient, Mr. FELLOWS said that there was overwhelming proof of we gone character of Gillese; but he simply reminded the Court that he pleaded guilty to tue indictmmens charginy him with a felonious assault. The other indictments against him grew out of the same transaction. Recorder Hacker, in passing sentence, said— Before pronouncing sentence upon twe conviction founded upon your confession oi shoctiag oficer Le Roy with the intent to kill him, 1 will very briefly advert to the prominent facts ia we case, Both you and he were at the ume of the commission of the olfence sworn officers of the Police Department of the Metropolitan district. Your duties, among other were to protect life, limb and proper! You, wi out cause, oa the day in question ruthlessly assauited acitizen. Not content with the coumisston of that Wrong you beat, clubbed and robbed another ciuizen, and When ofticer Le Roy attempted to inter- Tere to prevent furtuer outrages on your part, you drew your revolver aud shot him in the head, and when prostrate upon the ground you agalu shot him in the thigh, inflicung a yri¢vous wound, and then, barrel of your pistol ur ciub, ¢ ored to pul out one Of his eyes, Your sole plea is that at the time you were intoxicated apd unconscious of your acts, Voluntary tmtoxication, according to our law, anes not excuse crime, nor di ib prevent the question of intent being dered. In my jucgment it aggravated tie character of your crime, You broke a law of the department you had sworn to respect am drinking at ali while on daty. You infringed tts proper discipline in assaulting # fellow oMcer. You broke the law of the State im feionioush, munding bun and with inient to take his lie. You were @ sworn ollicer of the peace, and you broke your oath. You now stand iudicted with the commission of three several crimes:— First—OT woprovoked assault and battery on the Person of Isaac Watson, Second—Of assault and battery and highway rob- bery upon Wwe person of Albert J, Gounell. Third—Of @ felowlous assauit upon oflicer Le Roy with a pistol with inteut to kil. The uttermost pumshment that this Court could IMpose upon & conviction Of all Luese oMences would be fer the teras of thirty-one yeara. Au you have wisely pleaded to the commiasion of the graver oifence no further prosecution of we other indictments will be made; bul in this case to which you have pleaded quiity the sentence of the Court bs that you be confined im tie State Prison, at Bard lapor, for the period of ten years.

The Erie controversy has been at last taken from the books to the other struggle tnevitable in the ase as to who can, perhaps, talk longest and best. AKGUMENT RESUMED YESTERDAY. Mr. Evarts, at ten o'clock, resumed his argument Imthe United States Circuit Court, before Judge Blatchf rd, on behalf of Heath and Raphael. He contended that property in the possession of a receiver of a Court ot Equity was in legal effect in the possession of the Court itself. It was a contempt of the Court for any person, without the express Permission of the Court, to interfere with such property either by taking it out of the possession of the receiver or by doing any act impairing its value, whether such interference be in virtue of egal process of some other Court or officer, or under paramount rigat or title of any kind, or be amtrinsically merely wrongful. Aby person thus interiering with property in the hands of a Court, in contempt of ita authority, 1s answerable therefor upon summary proceedings, and will be thereapon summarily required by the Court to restore the thing abstracted or make good the injury he has caused; ana if he fail in compii- ance with such requirement will be punished by at- tachment for his disonedience. There are no tech- nical restrictions upon the power of the Court thus to compel the making good of abstractions of or tn+ juries to property under its guardiansnip. The fact that the wrongdoer, who is mado responsible in the summary proceedings is not @ party in the original suit wherein the res has been brought into Court, is wholly immaterial. It being established that the Court has jurisdiction over this respondent upon summary proveedings in respect of the subject matters in- volved, and he being regalarly brought before it upon such proceedings, the Court will make such orders as will give complete redress. Whatever relief 1s to be, ever or anywhere, given to the parties aggrieved by this wrongfal act by him committed will be given now and __ here, The case presented is a clear one of substantial abstraction by the respondent of the thirty thousand shares of stock In question, or at least or such deal+ ing with it by hin as bas completely abstracted from it its markétable or saluble quality, and by means of the false pretence made by him to the Farmers’ Loan and st Company, and the misuse of the original certificates belonging to the Moypeerral = transierred that marketable and salable quality frota the genuine stock of Heath and Raphael to bis own spurious and, till then, value- Jess and wholly unmarketable aud unsslabie stock; and he has, oy means of thus investing hts own spurious certiticates with the tudicia of genuineness, withdrawn from HEATH AND RAPHARL'S STOCK, to the utter destruction of its salableness, sold his own certificates aa genuine to bona Jide holders and appropriated to bis own use the proceeds. ‘Thus, though by a very peculiar and somewhat circuitons process, he has in all substance and effect converted the stock of Heath and Raphael to his own use. The legal effect of his act and the measure of his ac- countability for 1¢ are to be determined by refer- ence to the results he has thereby produced to him- sel and to Heath and Raphael, and he-cannot es- cape such accountability dy any peculiar meshes of form im which he has enveloped hts abstraction, The fact that stock not registered, or registerable wita the Farmers’ i.oan and Trust Company, is un- marketable, does not make @ good delivery under a contract, and will not practically seil in the New York market, is shown by the petition and the evi- dence of R, G. Roiston and of A. D. Willams. Gould’s sale and receipt ot the proceeds of the spurious 40,000 shares wich he procured to be regis- tered witn and certified by the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company, by appropriating to that purpose by cancellation, H Rapnael’s origina: certificates for their genuine 40,000 snares, and falsely repre- senting to the Farmers’ Loan and ‘trust Company, thathis reaily spurious stock had been issued in place of the Heatran & Raphael certificates thus can- celled is shown by Gonld’s evidence. The fact that in conseyuence of the misuse of the original Heath 20,000 shares, a8 the basts Jor registering Goula’s spurious 40,000 shares, the 30,000 shares Jor which there is now held only @ bare certiicate in the naine ot James H, Coleman, Receiver, cannt be registered with the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Com- pany; but, if presented for registration and cert:d- cation, there would appear upon tne Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company's register, as & mere over issue 1s shown by the petition and the ¢vicence of Ral- ston, When Gould, the presumed wrong doer, has prevented the certificates from ever being mace salable, as is charged, in the home market, and completety frustrated Heath & Raphael's . purpose, with reference to which they sent the certificates to the Erte office, it lies not in bis mouth to say that they may send the: certificates to a foreign market for sale, and ther tore are not demuitied by his Cuttiug tiem off from the home market. But itis wholly untrue tuat tue cireumsiance of the certificates having been made unregisterabie with the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company. and therefore unsalable in the New York market, does not bar their sale in the Buropeaa market. Couusel dealt at con- siderable Jength on the Guestion of regis- termg stock im the Farmers’ Loan and ‘Trust Company, contending that tne value afforded to Erie Railway stock by its registration with, and certification by, the Farmers’ Loan and Trost Com- pany was not a benefit granted to the shareholder, extra the intrinsic value of his stock, 25 a oon of free grave, which the Erie Company couid give or withhold, discriminating between slarenoliers at its pleasure. This registration system was estab- lished by the Erie Company for affording to dealers in stock the voucher and test of the genumeness and reguiarity of the stock certuleates, and tt was inev- Mable iat it should become, as the evidence shows it ta fact has become, the sole voucher and test ized by tne dealers, so that stock thus regis- tered and certified can be Ivecly sold, and stock not egistered and ceriiticd cannot be sold, submitting various other points for the con- n of the Court the learned gentleman, who made @ very powerful aud logical acdress, brought his argument to a ciose. DECISION RESERVED—A NEW BOMBSHELL. Just as Mr. Evarts haa concluded counsel for the English company stated that the Erie Railway Com- pany had given notice to the Stock Exchange that iu inirty days from the present time they would ine } crease their capital shares of stock Ly issulag 20,000 shares of new stoc! ‘This statement having been brought to the atten. tion of the Court, Judge blatchford sald he would require an afida- It t8 understood that any such would be a direct violation of an order or injunction of this Court already im exisieace, and render tae party making such issue lable Ww atiacmenc for contempt.

ES3EX MARKET COURT. le of new shares Spanist-Arabic Fend Revived=’ Desperate Attempt to Arrive at an Understanding-- Judac Koch’s Linguistic Resenrees Exe hansted, At Essex Market yesterday afternoon, towards the close of the session, the court was thrown into confusion by the entrance of a Spaniard, followed | by an ovicer, having in custody a youthta Arab, chargea with the theft of the Spauiard’s watch. The complainant was an old man, with venerable gray beard. He was blind of an eye, and his habill- menuis hung on him like hal/-dried garments on @ clothesline. His appearance suggested a man to whom TIME WAS OF LITTLE MOMENT, and the necessity or ulility of his having a watch was @ question for social philosophers. He was just fa- miliar enough with English to say that he lost a watch and suspected the prisoner a3 one of three who might Dave taken it. Judge Koch’s linguistic attainments were then cailed into requisition. He essayed Germin as a preliminary experiment, but the “xprachen sie Deutsch?” eiiciied & Wink of the bind eye and a shrug of the snoulder. Nothing daunted, THE POLYGLOT YOUNG JUDGE addressed him again. “Pa: vous Francats ?"? he whispered softly, but witn a like result, Another | shake and shrug, but this time more decisive, ‘There was nothing for it now but Spanish, and, difident of bis own familiarity with the pure Cas- Uitar, the Judge looked appealingly at the bystand- ers lor some one to assume the role of interpreter. Jt was whispered confidentiy to Hw Uonor that ex- Judge Burney Osborne had been in Mexico with the New York Volanteers, and he was acquainted with the unknown sya “Barney,’? by special re- quest, came forward. fle approacted his task mod- estiy, and placed himself ¢x rapport with the uiin- telligibie, He mumbled something—the Lord knows what, ‘‘hen was poured forth such a torrent from the lips of the aged compiainant that “Barney” re- ured incontinently from the fled. Baron Schiciger, the philological Clerk of the Court, then came upon the acene, with an equally inglorious result, Batted and in despair, Judge Koch rubbed hia manly brow, and by & desperate effort of memory recalled his “oulendor.”? “Qui en prendido ombre?" ferceiy demanded he. “vos ve (rio non sabe quien,” answered the aged man. Crossfiring all along the iine, Arab, French, English, German and jtauan mdtscriminately, Mileafan policeman, contributing bis Ceitic Jore, tapped the Arab famtharly on me ote and said to hin, with eet accent ore rotundo, “Comisthather Moryab Haschemisch @ shule agrah; shinnm thee gaelich.” Contusion worse confounded now retuned. The Raphael certiticates for | | i was David by hame, | ooked on in amazement, while the Arabs, Isage Santo'and bis father Jacob Bannerosh, “folded their te.t and the custom with their silently stole away,” as was TOMBS POLICE COURT. Confidence Betrayed—An Old Servant Turned ‘Thief—Extensive Capture of Property—A Forger Caught—A Literary Beat—Defraad- ing the Press, the Pubiic and the Prayer Book Merchante—Trappea in Time. Belore Judge Hogan, ‘The numerous cases of misplaced confidence that come 10 the aurface every day make it dificuls in- deed for merchants to know whom to trust, The latest instance of this kind of deception came to light yesterday under most peculiar circumstances. A man named James Robingon has been em- ployea by Messrs, Gardner & Cv., of 54 Lispenard street, for eleven years. During that time he had sbown himself tobe a most efficient man of busi- ness, @ faithful (clerk ana to all appear ance an honest and upright man. In business hours no person im the employ of the firm was more assiduous in the discharge of his Guties. He was generally the first to arrive atthe store and almost always the last to leave It. His general aemeanor and capability for commercial matters won him the good opinion of his employers, and step by step he went on GROWING IN THRIR ESTEEM, Until within the last five years he was intrusted with a key to the safe, and it is astonishing, with so Much opportunity to steal a large amount at his hand, he should have contented btnself with pilfer- ings trom time to time. 11 Las been now ascertained beyond ail doubt that he nas pursued the course that brought him to @ prisoner’s cell for some time. Not being weil posted’ m the manner of work- mg little aimtrgues of that kinu he laid bimself open to suspicion sooner than a reguiar practitioner would, aud happening to tall in with Detective Field, of the Fith pre- cinct, Hts hesitating, nervous manner betrayed Dum, and the lynx eye of Field looked tuto the hol- lowness of tne masked gure that passed him, The detective had several tines noticed something un- usual about the man, but his suspicions were not reauy aroused until he saw him go into a pawn. oitice with & bundle and afierwards come out with out, ‘This at tirst he sumply looked at aa A SINGULAR MISFORTUN that a man in his ap) at position in life should be compel.cd to resort to such accommodations to pro- cure resources. Bat, svelng the same thing done over and over again, the detective became convinced that wil was noc right, Knowing the man well by this time, Mr. ied was on the loukout tor him, and on Tuesday morning last he saw Kobinson leave the house of his employers with @ parcel, and, de- termined to find out exactly the extent to which the fume Was being played, he followed and saw lim go to & pawnbroker’s snop at 102 Canal street, hept by Hyman Copperman. Whben Robinson left the pawnbroker’s he had no parcel, so that it was cern he had left the merchaadise behind hime ‘The detective still kept la his wace, and the unsus- ting tluel Went Dack to his work at tue stove, ‘leld Waited until the establishment was closed, and then spotting bis man followed him to his home wm taghth avenue, He there ascertained that Kob- iuson'was a highly respectable man, with a wife aud family, and that for a moment DISARMED 1HE DOUBTS OF THE DETECTIVE. ‘Yesterday morning, however, Kobinson came out of the store with a parcel dune up as the previous one had been, and started to the same pawabroker, aod alter remaiming there some time came out empty hanaed, Tuts decided Mr. Field, and he at once arrested tim. He asked Robinson what he had been doing in the pawnsbop, and the man an- sSwered tnat he had been delivering goods which the firm had sold toCoppeman, ‘The detective tien questioned him about the sellimg or stealing of tae goods, and asked him point blank if he had not stoten them, but Robingon bolily insisted that he had soid the goods and was just leaving them at the house of the purchaser.

Since that time he has occupied himself with SwWiudling various ower firms, His most recent ex- ploit, however, has been to represent himse:f as still in the employ of Stropp to the managers of the German New York Democrat, and Ue ordered these gentiemen to insert an advertisement for Stropp which would cost $48.

When he had laid in a good stock of siolen books he made a Pap to Jersey to dispose of them, but Zickel heard of his exploits and sent word after him.

Assassination and Robbery in Virginia. A Citizen of Prince George County Slaughtered at His Own Door. The Murderers Arrested, Tried, Convicted and Sentenced to be Hanged. Respite of the Culprits While Pre- paring for the Scaffold, PRINCE GuorGE O. H., Va., June 80, 1871, ‘On the evening of the 24th of March last Mr, Charles Friend, an old citizen of Prince George county, Virginia, was walking on the track of the City Point Raliway, quietly porsuing his way home, ‘It wae dark and raining, but the venerawle genile- man had often gone that way belore without fear, as his life had been such that he was not conscious of Raving a single enemy in the world. He had grown up from childhvod in that neighbornood, was a man of wealth, of distinction in the county, and a humane and kind-hearted Christian. Before dying, for he iived long enough to describe the manner of his murder, he told his friends and the magistrate who took the dying declaration tnat, having been to Petersburg to attend Lenten service at the Episcopat church, of which he was an ofMecer, he lett about dark for home, decling several invitations to remain over night with brethren of the caurch. He lived three miles out. ‘When about haif way on his journey he discoverea that he was followed by @ man to him unknown, but he had no apprehensions of danger. This man subsequently overtook him and strack him a blow on the head, which felled him to the ground and rendered him insensibie, The assaulting party seems to have been fright- ened off at this Junctare by the approach of a train, for he left his victim for the time without further molestation. The train passed in a few moments, and before Mr. Friend recovered from the stunning effects of the blow, though it recovered him some- what, as he was lying very near the edge of the track, After the cars had passed, Mr. Friend said, a negro came to mim and ratged him to his fect, and then assisted him across a trestle bridge on the road. The negro led him of oa the path to his house, and here turned upon the poor, stupefled old man and in Micted several Diows with a club, cutting and bruising his head and face ina frightful manner. He was left for dead ia this condition, out subsequently revived suniciently to crawl te the foot of the hill on which his residence was situatea, and attract attention by his cries. His servants came to his assisiance and carried htm up to his house, where he died about eleven o'clock on the same night, afler making his statement to the above erfect. At the inquest ou the following day nothing was elicited that was calculated to unplicaie any person inthe murder, One or more witnesses testified to seeing two men on the railroad near the place of the murder, one supporting tne other and concealin; both by an umbrella hoisted over tueir heads, ‘and te having aiso heard criea for mercy. ‘the flendish character of the murder and the high Position of the victim, together with the mystery in Which it was involved, created a deep feeliiag in the neighborhood, which extended throughout the State. ‘The indignation of the people took a practi- cal form, and tay added $1,500 tp the $10 reward otfered by the Governor. This was an incentive to the police and the detectives even ‘of Richmond, and several went over to Prince George to work up the case, A conilict soon arose between them and the Petersburg officers, which nas not ye: been set- ued, and which nas resulted In casting doubts. upoa the guilt of the two men who pala the pendity of the law with their lives to-day, withough nearly everybody, except tie detectives of Richmond, is satisfied uiat they have sudered jastive THE ARREST OF THK MURDERERS, Ricnard Green and Wiliam henry Joanson, both Degroes of bad repute—oue of whom nad been In the Penitentiary but was pardoned out by the Military Governor, Wells, and the other had been engaged 1n a robbery, and it is said even ia anotuer marder— ‘were arrested several days after the murder bY Uap- tains Gentry aud Sydnor, of the Petersburg police, on suspicion, and the cireamstances pointing to the rgutit were very strong. Green was a tall black man, very muscular, and answered to tie descrip. ton given by Mr. Friend of the fellow wno assauiied hun, Jonson was a smaller man in stature and of mucn better intelligence than Green, and the greater villain of the two, 48 his name appears not only on the records of the jail but-of we Peni- tentary, THE TRIAL, ‘The evidence elicited on their trial showed that two men answering thelr description were scen iol- luwing Mr. Friend, aad two were engaged tn the murder, a3 was abundantly indicated by the tracks around the scene of the cruel decd. He was lirst us. saulted by the taller of the two, who was prevented trom rovb.ng him by the approach oi the train or of some person. Aé shown by his tracks he left the railroad, going away some five or six hundred yards, Friend was thea, aiter the train passed, approacned by another person, who, the testimony shows, was a small man, by whom he was assisted across the trestle bridge into the can where the assauit was renewed and the death-blows admimstered, Mr. Friend’s cries of “ome here! come uere |" wae being beaten attracted attention at the house, and, being quickly responded to, the murderer was frigntened away obelore time was allowed to complete the robbery which was undoubtedly the object. Hts hat, a basket containing clothing, and @ few other articies were, however, carried off. ‘Vh murderer jeft the spot and ran across a fleid, and joined the party making the large tracks, a few hundred yards away. The two taen separated, and both went wy different routes in tne uirection of Petersburg, the larger one going by the City Point Raliroad. THE ALARM GIVEN. Shortly after the messenger, wio rode rapidly to Petersburg jor medical aid, had reached that city, Richard Green was seen by an officer of puiice hur- riedly entering the town from the direction of the city Pomt road, and soon afterward Green was seen in company with Jonnson in earnest conversation. ‘They went to a house of infamous —_ repute. Jobnson , remained outside, while Green went in and washed some biood from his clothes, He stated to the inmates that he had had afight. The evidence showed, how- ever, that no fight had taken place tit evening anywuere in the vicinity. Bota parties gave con- flicting statements as to their whereabouts on the evening of the murder, eaca deuying that he was out of his house after six o'clock P, M., whereas several witnesses. saw them out at a late hour. ‘Their efforts to establish an aliot were wholly un- successiul, and afler a fair trial, with a strong na- tive radical for prosecuuby attorney and ten negroes on the jury, they were CONVICTED OF THE MURDER and both sentenced to death. ‘The beliet in their guilt is general in the county where they were tried, aad, although the evi- dence was purely circumstantial, ere 18 no doubt on the mind of any reasonable or disinterested person of their absolute Lit, ‘They were interviewed in jail by a reporter of tne. ress, but persisted in asserting their Innocence ing the past week.
