Mr. Bergh found that counsel (Mr. John G, Boyd) had drawn the will, and subsequently had several conversations With Mr. Boyd in relation to the mat- ter.

Judge Barnard Entering Upon His Pro- gramme of General Jail Delivery. Proceedings Before the Court of Oyer and Terminer. THE DEBTORS’ CELL. The large room in the new Court House, in which the Court of Oyer and Terminer holds its sessions, was, atcleven o’clock yesterday morning—the hour designated for the reassembling of the Court—filled to its utmost capacity. A specially interesting fea- ture, serving to draw such a crowd together, was the preliminary annonncement that all the inmates of Ludiow street jail were to be brought before the Court on writs of habeas corpus, and judicial im- quiry made into the circumstances of their arrest and imprisonment, Others, not specially interested in this matter, but having an ab normal love for the hornble and bloody, came, expecting to witness the trials of some murder cases, By his side was Recorder Gurney, of London, @ solid. roast-beef looking sort of English- man, and his face showing all that imperturbabie gravity supposed to give such dignity to the wearer of tho ermine, Occupying seats set apart for them, and the cynosure of every eye, were the INMATES OF LUDLOW STREET JAIL. There were just forty of these, they having been brought to the Court in what is known as Sheriff Brennan’s moonlight wagon, under the custodian- ship of Deputy Sheri Tracy and Gardener, The prisoners’ van at the Tombs ts easily distingulsh- able trom outside spectators, It was not so in this case, With very few exceptions they were a well amused, and seemingly well fed and well cared for body of men. Of course nearly every man had his lawyer, which served to swell the general throng. Firat there came a PRELIMINARY BXPLANATION from Assistant District Attorney Sullivan. He stated that pursuant to the directions of the Court he had taken steps to Institute inquiries as to the condition of the prisoners confined in Ludlow Street Jail and report such of them as might be dcemed worthy the consideration of the Cours, He found, however, that any discrimination as to some of those prisoners might be deemed invidious and sub- ject to misconstruction. He had therefore concluded to recommend to the Court that it assist each of such prisoners to prepare a state- ment brief as possible of the facts of his case and submit the same to the Court, say by next Friday. He would at the same time Jeave notices to be given to the attorneys of the judgment creditors #0 that counter statements might be prepared and submitied to the Court. The list of prisoners not held under process of the United States included some forty or fifty persons, and he desired all to understand that they should have their day in court and an opportunity to present the facts connected with their individual cases. WHAT JUDGE BARNARD UNDERSTOOD. Judge BARNARD seid he had been informed that there Were some men confined in the jail wliose lives would be endangered by longer imprisonment. MY. SULLIVAN replied that he was not aware of there being any case of such an aguravated charac- ter as ae endanger the party’s life by a detention until Friday. dadge BARNARD said there was a prisoner over eighty years old, who had been for some time an immate Of the jail—his name was Charles Woods— who had beea detained on an execution for $410 73, This man was too old to be 1p prison. Mr. EpWIN JAMES said he appeared for John McQuahae, whose discharge he asked for on the ground of ill health and unfitness of the prison in Which he was contined as to healthfulness. He had traversed the ig me of the Sheriff as to the healthfulness of the building, and was prepared to submit medical testimony on the point. Judge BARNARD directed the testimony proposed be taken betore the Court stenographer. ‘Mr. DERPOEL suggested to the Court that if any of these parties were to be discharged a formal doe.—The defenuants, who are charged with counterfeiting 920 gold pieces, under the circumstances already detailed in the HzRaup, yesterday, through their counsel, obtal Sdjourament of their etiminaiign i sais The cans om of the government 18 ready for inveaiis the Conuniesioner. uf else Alleged Fraudulent Bankruptcy. he United States ve.

Mr, CoupDERT—Will you tell us from whom you got thig rumor? ‘Mr. GERRY objected to the question, Mr. BERGH conunued m reply to Mr. Coudert—I spoke to Mr. Bonard before he died; he never said anything about the narcotics; the rumor did not come from Mr. Bonard; it was more likely to come from Mr. Campbell than anybody else, Mr. CoupERT—Mr. Bergh denies it, it is true, but I want to prove by him thatit 1s true, notwithstand- ing that Genial.

The Sheriff, It seemed to nim, might be held liable to the plain- tits for the amounts of the executions under which the parties were held, notwitnstanding a aischarge of the Court in this form. Judge BARNARD said he differed with the gentie- man liere. If he made an order directing the dis- charge of these prisoners that order would protect the Sheriff from Hapuity im any action against him. Counsel representing the plainuif in the case of Chas Woods, alluded above by Judge Barnard, asked leave to explain the case, which was granted him, It was a case, he said, in which Woods had collected money in a fiduciary capacity for merchants to Ful- ton avenue, Brooklyn, and apprepriated the same to his own use. Being a collector, he had taken a mere formal assignment for the purpose of collec- ton, and they claimed that the assignment was absolute. The whole case was before Judge Gilbert on the trial and he had decided to hold the prisoner. A motion would be argaed to-morrow in King’s county ior his discharge under the Insolvent act, and if ne turned over his property there he could have full justice done there as well as here, PERTINENT INQUIRY. Judge BarNarp—What 18 the use in keeping a man eighty years oldin prison’? It can’t do your clients any good. The Judge then called up tne pris- oner, who advanced with bent form and feebie steps. “How old are you?’ asked the Judge, “Seventy-seven ana a hall,”’ replied the old man. “What Nave you got to say in this matter?” pur- sued the Judge. “rhe assignment of the claim was made to me for services,” ne replied, “I used the money col- lected thereon because I thought] nada right to do 80; and I still believe [ had that right,” “Have you ny money now?” ‘NO, sii. “You are discharged,” said the Judge, and then added, “In my judgment an order of arrest should never have been issued 1m this case,”” Another counsel for some of the plaintiffs have inquired of the Judge if he would discharge a pri- soner in &@ cage Where a motion had been made on the part of the prisoner in aMdavite before another Judge to discharge from arrest and that Judse had denied the mov’on, Juage BaRNaRD—Yes, I shall. A COLORED PRISONER, The case of Johnson, & colored gentleman, was now called. it appeared that sometime since, while he was employed at the Belmont Hotel, a lady con- signed to his charge a trunk; that he gave tt co nis wife at their house; that subsequently the trunk was given back to the woman, alter which sne charged Mr. Jonnson with having taken from it a dress of the value of $40. Therenpon this Johnson Was arrested and put ih Ludlow street jail, “Where do you live?” asked the Judge, “1 did live at the Belmont Hotel." “Will they take you back there sf you're dis- charged?” “Yes, air,’ with a broad “Pl discharge you,” sat EXORSSIVE BAIL: Application was made for the release of Joel 5, Hayes. His counsel stated that he was Imprisoned on a judgment for $1,600, and the bail Oxed at twice that amount, “That bail is too much," sald the Jndge, “There are some facts connected with this case,” interposed District Attorney Sullivan, “which had better be examined into on Tuesday,” said the Judge. rin. the Judge. “Let the case go over until then, A HISTRIONIC CHARACTBR, Henry Wilieo is one of the victims. It appears from the statement that he entered into some sort an arrangement wo do something or other with “Humpty Dumpty,’? at the Olympic Theatre. He failed todo what was required and found himself in Ludlow street jail, charged with breach of con- tract. After some further cases being called up, with inquiries from counsel, the Judge postponed all fur- ther hearing in the matter until Friday, and in the meantime discharged the jury.

THE FISK-MANSFIELD SENSATION, These Wonderful Epistles—Changing the Venue—Application for the Arrest of James Fisk, Jr. The case of James Fisk, Jr., against Edward 8 Stokes, Helen Josephine Mansfield and others came up yesterday morning in the Supreme Court, Brook- lyn, berore Judge Pratt, This action 1s brought to restrain the defendants from publishing or to be used in any case certain correspondence which passed between plaintii’ and the defendant Mans- fleld, The case has heretofore been reported in the HERALD, The case came up yesterday morning on the order to show cause why the temporary injunc- tion heretofore grauted should not be made perma- nent and on the motion to change the venue, Mr. Bracu, for puaintiv, proposed to read afida- vits of Fisk and others that nad not been served, but the counsel for Miss Mansfield, Mr, Courtney, | objected, and the argument as to the injunction Was thereupon ae tiny until next Monday.

The affidavit fu set forth that he had contracted with certain newspaper inen in New York for copies of the coi ndence in order that he might furnish them to Brooklyn papers.

An Appeal from Chicage for Aid for the Suf- ferers in Wisconsin and Michigan—Fifty | Pacttic Mail.... Thousand Persons Reudered Yestitute, CHICAGO, Oct, 30, 1871, ‘The 7ribune this morning makes an appeal to the generous in behalf of the sufferers by the fires In Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, Probably fifty thousand persons in Northern Wisconsin and Michi- gan alone have been stripped of every earthly pos- session by these fires. Many of them have also blind or been rendered sick, crippled by the ordeal, which will necessarily make them objects of charity for some time to come, Unfortunately, too, when whole families and whole communities were involved in the common ruin, there are no neighbors nor relatives on whom, as in Chicago, some of the sufferers can fall back for as- mistance, They can merely flock in masses to the nearest towns unscathed by the flames, there to starve or freeze unless limely aid arrives. ‘There should, for humanity’s sake, be prompt and copious contributions of money, clothing and articles most needed, The Governors of Wisconsin and Michigan are the most appropriate chanuels through wiich aid can be administered, Methodist Aid for the Foresters. At the weekly meeting of the Methodist preachers yesterday several speeches were made by ministers from Chicago and the West—the question being the raising of fands for their brethren in Chicago, Wis- consin and Michigan.

Gibson Station, the present terminus of the Mis. sourl, Kansas and Texas Railroad In the Creek Na- fon, like many Western towus in their infancy, has since its organization been infested by a gang of desperadoes and gamblers who follow in the wake of civilization. Accounts have been received irom time to time of outrages commitied by these despera- does, and their operations cuiminated on Friday last in a bloody riot. A genuieman connected with the Overland ‘transit Company, whose headquarters are in this city ana who arrived here yesterday morning Jrom Gibson, furnishes the following particulars, he — been au eye witness of some of the scenes of violence:— The ringiecarlers of the gambling fraternity were a notorious individual Cet ty “Limber Jack,'* “Pony Bul’? and “Keno Bill,” the latter a fugitive from justice, hailing trom Dallas, Texas, The vil- Jains got on a drank, and on Friday morning they commenced riding about town, armed with drawn revolvers, which they fired of at random, and fre- quently wounded persons whom they met. They rode into a canvas tent occupied as a store on horseback, with drawn revolvers, and terrified the occupants with threats and the discharge of their revolvers. They continned in vis way until tour o'clock, and intimidated the inhabitants so much us to cause them to entirely suspend business in che town. At length they went to Keys & Brother's store, and attempted to destroy property and tear down the sign. by this time a@ posse of poiice, composed of half-blood Creeks, who formerly Deionged to the “Light Horse Company,” was hastily improvised by ihe citizens and railroad = le, to check the rioters, They told the desperadoes oO desist, and, on thelr refusing, they were fired upon by the posse. Limber Jack received in his face fourteen turkey snot from @ double-varreiled snot- gun, Some shot penetrated his lungs and one put out his eye, The shot was fired by a Creek, whose horse had been previously stolen by the ruffian. ‘Tho Creek had premptied two Colt’s revolvers on Linber Jack without efect,, but brought him down with the shotgun. Mr. James Roberis, a butcher, in delending his premises from an attack by the des. radoes, Was shot through the abdomen by a bail which entered the hip, He now Hes in a critical con- dition. One of the desperadoes, “Keno Bill,” after discharging his weapon, flually surreadered, and it geting too hot for the baiance of the gang they took to their heels and fled. Keno Bill was taken in charge by the police posse, who held @ consulta- tion and determined to hang him to @ tree outside of the town, Brit, upon the advice of the more ju. dicious and law-abiding citizens, they desisted from carrying out their purpose, aud, placing him upon a train coming this way, next morning, at five o’clock, they threatened him with death If he ever Despera- NEW YORK HERALD.
