Mr, FINKELNBURG, (rep.) of Mo., presented a memorial against the passage of the Chicago Relief bill as a measure owhieb would be :mpracticable and unjust; unsettling vaiues, eomplicating the coliection of the revenue, opening the way to fraud, and imposing on a few classes the burden ot relief whieh should be borne equally alike by all.

Mr. BoRCMARD, (rep.) of Lil led certain amend- ments in the details of the oi hearing democrats themeeives in and that their only © on to the measure was that it would interfere with State rights; but they had failed to show ary invasion of State rights.

In the same neighborhood were the residences of Charles Lee, Washingtor Attorney General; Arthur Lee, the ac- complished negotiator of the treaty between the colonies and Franee, and the birthplaces of Monroe, Jefferson and Kobert E. Lee, He challenged Mr, Hoar to find such illustrations of menta) vigor In bis own State. . Mr. HOAR said he bad not criticised either the intelligence or the eloquence of the educated tyrants of whom Mr. Critcner had spoken.

THE BROOKLYN POLICE. Inadequacy of the Force in That City as Com- pared with New York, The cycle of crime which has just swept over the comraunity of the City of Churches has the whole- some effect, at least, of awakening the people of At the the numerical strength of the guardians of the peace and public morals was broached, but was finally lad over for consideration at the next session, The inefliciency of the force in the matter of making arrests and preventing the commission of crime on the pubite streets, the Tapid multiplication of burglaries, sneak robberies, assaults, &c,, most imperauvely call forth the query upon all sides as to What is the cause of the stolid indifference of the police, Now it appears, upon investigation, that the protection which the force, as at preseat constituted, can afford 1s littie better than asnam. For instance, the area of the beat of the patroiman supposed lo go Over the route where the music teacher, Jolin B, Panormo, was robbed and murdered on the night of January 23 rans irom Canton street to Wasnington avenue, about three-quarters of a mile, and from the latter avenue to Classon avenue (about half amuie). it 18 simply tmpossibie, the police authorities assert, for any living man to exercise such vigilance as to patrol and guard a tract of territory so great, in Brooklyn or elsewhere, The lootpad Knows the “ong beat? as well as “ihe watchman of the aight.”? He will therelore wait unul the officer has passed and 1s far out Of ear- shot ere he ‘goes for ts prey.” This Is plausible, certainly. In the Ninth precinct, a sparsely settled district’ towards me outskirts, there are beats so extensive that even Weston (the pedestriaa) could not waik over in a four-hour tour, The entire force of Brooklyn police does not exceed four hundred and fifty men, imelusive of captains, sergeants, roundsmen, doormen, detectives, sanitary oficers and patroimen.’ Of Unis number there are never more than two hundred men on post duty at the same time. ‘This force has to cover an area of land about equal to that patrolled by the New York po- hice. The latter force is twenty-two hundred strong, or about five times greater than that of Brooklyn. But then, it may be argued, the poputauon of Gotham is oue million; that of Brooklyn 19 littie mure than four hundred thousand. This point being conceded, it 1ollows the protection accorded life and property by the pouce in New York 4s far greater, proportionately, than in Beecher’s com- muaity. ‘he cost of runuing the police machine in New York 1s about three million dollars per an- num, in Brooklyn the cost 1a round numbers 13 $500,000, “Let us have less park pleasure ground and more of the pleasure of enjoying a feeling of security by virtue of @ good, strong, intelligent police jorce,” an indignant taxpayer in Brooklyn re- cently exclaimed in a crowd, aud the auditors ap- provingty applauded the sentiment. With the streets weli lighted and properly pro- tected by officers whose intelligence and courage Will balance the scales of justice in bringing Lo the tribunal of the law those who now prey so daringly and persistentiv upon the community, the pious people of Parsontown wil! breath treer as they hurry home {rom meeung these dark nights, REVENUE AND BUM IN BROOKLYN. How the Assessors Collect the Tax—A Raid U the Whiskey Distilleries Under the New System—What the Police Can Do, It was demonstrated yesterday that the police of Brooklyn were just as effectual in guarding the reyenue Officials in the raids upon the Illicit whiskey localities as were the marines with their brisuing bayonets. The visit of the authorities to the Fifth ward yes- terday was not uulooked for by the denizens of that locality, for on Tnuraday Messrs. Dutcher and Jour- dan called upon Mayor Powell for the purpose of making arrangements to ENFORCE THE REVENUE LAWS in the uvlaw/ul distillation of spirits in the city, by the aid of the police, as provided for in @ recent arrangement between the authorities at Washing- ton and the Congressional representatives from Brooklyn. The flicit whiskey traMe, so it is sata, 18 now tobe broken up in the Fisth ward, certain leaders having been “let up on’’ and having prom- ised to aid the revenue assessors in ihe work of clearing out the contraband distilleries which have been reported from time to time to be in tull blast. Some months since it was a dangerous undertak- ing ior a revenue official to make nis appearance in the whiskey region, but THE WHISKEY EXCITEMENT has pretty weil subsided, and now that section Is to be patrolled daily by the assesssors, under the protection of the police. The revenue officers assembled at the Second precinct station house at ten o’clock yesterday morning, and were speedily detailed in detachments, to each of which @ specitic section of the suspected district was as- signed to be searched. The ‘first detach- ment was under the command of Assistant As- sessor Biggart, and comprised Assistant Assessors ware, wound up witha grand pero | Hien Brien bromnt down tie Hower” Wood, McKeilar, Kait, Rogers, Rowan, Stil- well, McClear and Richinond. They were accom- panied by an escort of ten policemen, under ser- geant Kane. Before leaving the station house Cap- tain Mcvonnell gave the Sergeant the following in- structions:—"Sergeant, you will take these men with Mr. Bi rt wherever he goes, and protect them in the discharge of their duty, preventing any breach of the peace at all nazards. The other detachments, composed of the seme number of men, were given thy same instructivae. ‘Twenty patroimen, under Sergeanc Cralt, rero 4 in reserve at the Second precinct station house.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1872, No, 105. The New Haven Steam ‘ransportation Company vs, The Steamboat Conunental and the New Haven Steambvat Company—Appeal from tne Cireutt Court tor the District of Connecticut, —Tue libel is in rem, The action was brought to recover damages arising from 4 colliston which occurred between the appellants’ pro- lier Northampton apd the appellees’ steamboat Donunental, near the entrance of the harbor of New Haven, a little alter one o'clock on the morning of October 23, 1868, whereby tbe Northamp- ton was sunk, The District Court decided that the Northampton was in fault, in not having any stern- light; that she was running in direct violation of which required her to have a range of two white lights, and that this was the cause of the collision. ‘The linet was accordingly dismissed.

T. Dittoe for appellant; Henry O'Connor, At- torney Generat of lowa, for the State, No, #1, Alden vs, First National Bank of Cht- copee—Error to the Cir cuit Court for the District of Maine,—This was an action brought agaist Alden as an endorser of a promissory note. The makers of the note, who resided at Wilmington, IIL, sent 1t to Alden, who resides at Belfast, Me. ,without date or signature, or any wrilten words upon its face, but simply with the figures $6,000 written in, with the request that he would endorse it for their accom- mouation. Alden wrote his name on the back of the note and returned it to the makers, who com- pleted it and negotiated it to one Ulmen, the second endorser thereon, at Chicago. The note, which was payavle at Boston, was subsequentiy endorsed by Ulman and the Ames Manutacturing Company, and was discounted by the bank (deiendant in error) in the usual course oi business, on the 13th April, without Knowledge of any equities between the antecedent parties or of other facts, No suit was brought against the makers in their State or in Massachusetis; nor was there any evi- dence to prove that -such a suit would have been unavailing, or that the makers of the note had lelt tne State. On this state oi facts the Court held that the endorser, Alden, was liable an the action under the Jaws of Massachusetts, where the note was payable, and the judgment was accordingly for the bank. It is here contended hat, as there was no hability on the part of the endorser until the note passed out of the hands of the makers—being purely an accommodation en- dorsement—his liability did not commence until the negouation of the note at Chicago; that his con- tract was therefore made in Iinols, and the place of performance was as to him 1a that State, and not at Boston, where the note was payable and where the makers were liable. If, therefore, the endorser’s contract was not really made until the negotiation of the note the contract was governed by the laws of ilimols, and there the suit against the endorser cannot be maintained until all remedies have been exhausted against the maker. Under the Liinois statute the liability of the en- dorser Is contingent upon the failure to recover of the mnaker, alter due diigence, and if the endorser ‘Was not there lable until taiure to recover trom the maker he 18 not lable anywhere until such failure. J. J. D. Fuller ior plainait in error; Bion Bradbury for velendant, UNITED STATES CiACUIT COURT. The Estate of Madame Jamel. Before Judge Shipman. The hearing of the case of George Washington Bowen ve, Nelson Chase was continued yesterday. At the sitting of the Court Jadge Shipman ruled on the point raised on the day before by counsel for piaimtif, as to whether Mr. O’Conor ‘should be allowed to put questions to the plaintiff respecting negotiations or contracts he had entered into with lawyers in this city, that they should take up and prosecute bis claim to the Jumel estate, the com- pensation of the lawyers to be a proportion of what the plaintiff might get out of the estate, if the suit proved to be successful. Counsel for plaintiff had argued that any such inquiry was Irrelevant and immaterial, and beyond the issue the jury had to try. Mr. O’Conor, for the deiendant, had contended that the inquiry was proper, as it would show that tie plaintifihad no confidence tn his case when he Went about peddling it in this manner, The Judge ruled in tavor of Mr. O’Conor’s offer under @ previous ruling by Judge Woodrad on a similar pont, Judge Shipman observing that he felt himself bound to acquiesce im the ruling of Judge Woodrud. ‘Tne plaintiff then, on cross-examination by Mr. O’Conor, stated that he bad given a firm of lawyers in this city, Edmunds & Fields, $500 as a retaioing fee to prosecute his claim, and agreed to give them one-third of what he might derive from we suit if successiul, hat arrangement, however, was re- scinded, and he then borrowed money from Mr, Tucker, a banker, agreeing Lo pay the jegai interest and guaranteeing him ten per cent on the prop- erty'in case he receivea it, Alter the cross-examination of the plaintimt haa closed lengthened depositions were read. They contained a great deal of matter, but very litte that bad any reierence whatever ‘to the merits of the case. A considerable portion of the session was taken up with the examination of a lady named Uirich, residing in this city, who testifiea that on one occa- | Son, in 1$66 or subsequently, Mr. Chase, in company with @ gentleman nemed Carter, called at her mother’s house. Mr. Chase asked her mother if he could not see her family records. Ler mother said he could, observing that there was po use in doing so, a8 George W. Bowen was heir to the estate, Myr. Chase, according to the testimony of the wit ment, replied that that made no matter, a8 George W aeatogion bowen was an illegitimate child. ‘The net of the witness then showel Mr. Clase ner Eile, containing family records, Counsel duet) @ ponderous Bible and the witness idenu- a the one she had seen her mother exzis to Mr. Chase.

Her mother went out to the carriage and spoke to Madame, but witness could not tell how long the conversauon was, or whether the carriage remained at the door two or five minutes. She saw Madame Jumel alter that in her carriage on the Bioominguale road. Mr. sbafer, for plainuf, observed that they would ve obliged to recall the Witness at another stage, when they bad laid grounds for certain questions ipev proposed to ask her in reference to the relations which they claim to have existed vetween the plain- url and Madame Jumel. Mr. O’Conor said that it was irregular to conduct the examination in that way. Once the witness had got on the stand, 1 would be far better and more in accordance with te practice to complete te ex- amioation. The Judge remarked that, no doubt, counsel must be governed by the circumstances of Ue case; but it Would be entirely regular if no necessity were lett for recalling tne witnesses, Alter some turther testimony had been given the Court adjourned til Monday next, when more evi- dence wil be offered on the part of the plainuit.

CITY COURT. The Suit Against the Agent of the Children’s Aid Society—Alleged Kidnapping of a Boy— ‘The Court Dismisses the Compiaint—Iaterest~ ing Opinion, Before Judge Neilson, ‘Thomas Nash vs, RK. D, Dougias.—The plainti@ in this case, which bas heretofore been reporied in the HERALD, brought swt against defendant, whom he chargéd with having enticed his son {rom home and sent him out West, The defendant is agent of the Children’s Ald Society, Judge Neilson yesterday delivered the following opinion, reciting all the clroumstances of wwe case and dismissing the complaint:— The complaint sets forth that in April last the Plaintif’s gon, William, aged eighteen years, re- suled with his parents in this city, and charges that the defendant, wronglully contriving to injure the plaintiff and deprive him of his son’s society and aid, enticed the son irom home and sent him toa distant State. The relief sougot ts that the aefend- ant be adjudged to return the son and to pay the incidental damages. The answer denies the wron; charged and sets up special matter. On the trial? appeared that the defendant is and jor several years bas been an agent of the Che Children’s Aid Society, a corporation joundéd in 1866, and largely en in finding Western homes for destitute chidren; that applicants for such assistance are examineu by the agents of the Society, and, if found to have parents or reiatives, required to procure iheir consent; that a record is kept of their names and adopted locations, and that local committees in We principal Western towns are formed to assist tne ofMcers of the Society in Bk J suitable homes for the children. It turther appeared that tue plainud’s son, assuming the name of Wiluam Smita, applied to the defendant w be sent West, representing that he was an orphan, born at Fiush- ing, and that upon the death of his nts he had oblajned e@mpovment win a nedier, in Brook- stavied his horses; Jeft his home, he was taken West by the with a party of ead on periving ton, ph county, accepted employ Jarmer, "W in that vicinity; some weeks later the fannie learning that Wil- the Society, ap. of the journey, but William had lert for parts unknown, © Tne effort thus made by the defendant was 8 prompt, earnest and reasonable, But that effort would be no answer to the plaintit’s claim if the receiving and of tue boy, in the first instance, had been wrongiul, as charged. The paramount right of parents to ‘the aid and society of their children is respected in all civilized countries, and 1s jealously. guarded by our laws. Within well accepted principles it 18 necessary in an action of this character that the sara away and harboring of the child should ve wit and with notice or kuowledge of tne fact that the child has parents or guardtans, whose rights are thus invaded, Without such notice or knowl. edge, an essential element of the wrongful entice- ment known to the law is wanting, The words “entice,” ‘solicit,’ “persuade” and “procure,” as used in the pleadings 1 an action, and acted upon by the Courts, have been well defined. They import an initial, active and wronged effort, ‘There 1s, indeed, sense in which the operations of this society, with its means of liberal aid, the opportunities it offers to travel, to visit new scenes and find new homes—very seductive to the youthful imagination—may be con- sidered as amounting to a solicitation, ut the en- ticement or solicitation which may be thus implied springs from the very nature of and is incident to the enterprise, has been sanctioned by the act incor- orating tnis society, 18 legitimate, and may tairly @ contrasted with the wrongful enucement or solicitation of which, either for correction or pun- ishment, the courts take cognizance, In this in- stance the poy came to the defendant more than once, each time repeating the same story. He ap- Peared to ay ae aid. Though cared tor and well Clad at home, he had cunningly adopted the appear- ance of one in want. He thus moved tne sympathy and gamed tne confidence of the defendant. He accepted, however, with hesitation, and alter delay, because he nad no one to speak for him. Although in a case like this the acceptance of @& candidate without positively knowimg the truth of his siory works a great hardship, I am not prepared to hoid that no candidate should be thus accepted, ‘The adoption of such a rule would tend to the exclusion of many persons worthy of ihe charity of this soctety. ‘The Jearned counsel for the plaintifs insist that inquiries snould have been made at Flushing, where William said he had lived, HM the question pelore me were as to the degree of care and diligence proper to tne occasion, I could better appreciate the force of the argument. It may be that careful in- quiries at Flushing would have cast doubt upon the boy’s story and leg to his rejection. If sucn inqui- ries had led to no discoveries, yet the boy's story mignt have seemed not the less true in every par- Ucular. If the first hundred men met within that town had never seen William Smith, if the Post- master, Sheriff, Commissioners of the Poor, haa nover heard of kim, that would not be — inconsistent with his truthfulness, The poor and unprotected, not noticeable for improper or criminal conduct, are generally little known and soon forgotten. But the question before me 18 not one Of mere negligence, nor as to the best and safest mode of carrying on the operations of vhis society, It 1s as toa wrongful act, the undue solicitation of this buy to leave his parents; wrongfal conduct, which cannot under the circumstances of this case be imputed to the defendant. As this is an action for equitable relief, and the costs in the discretion of the Court, yudg- ment 18 ordered, dismissing the complaint, without cost COURT OF APPEALS. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. ,2.1872, Tne following is the day calendar of the Court of a Niet for February 56:—Nos, 102, 103, 104, 7, 19, 43, 108, 11d. A LOVERS? QUARREL, A Discarded Lover Fires Two Shots at His Rival—The Compliment Returned—Nobdody Hort. James Mason, alias Smail, allas Rusher, alias Cooley Keyes, was for some time an intimate friend ofa woman known as Alice Harrison, witn nearly as many allases as Mason, They “worked” the panel game together, Alice going into the street and, acting as a decoy, would inauce men to accom- -Pany her to her apartments, where Mason was con- cealed, Once im the room the victim was sure to be robbed, as Mason was known among his companions and the_ police as an expert. They would in nearly every instance select what they supposed were married men, as they were loth to make @ compjuint on account of the exposure, Alter @ while Alice began to tire of Mason, and lett him to share the aifections of a person much better looking, named Edward Barnes, whom she bad “met by chance.” Mason, upon learning ne had been discarded, became oreety incensed and swore to have revenge, Fearing he would carry out his threat the couple left this city for Punadel- phia, where they remained in peace and qweiness for @ short ‘time, but were surprised one day on hearing from @ friend that Mason was in that city looking for them. feel- umg uneasy for their safety they took the next train for Baltimore. Mason, jearaing this fact, Soon followed them and arrived at nearly the same hour as they did. By some means they learned that Mason was again on their track, and without unpacking their baggage immediately started tor this city, arriving ere on the 18th of January and taking apartments at 47 West Twenty-seventh street, Where they passed themselves oif as man and wife, On tne night of the 20th of January they were surprised upon respoase to &@ knock at the door of their room to find Mason standing in jront of them. He demanded an explanation from Barnes as to his conduct toward bim in suppianung himself in the affections of nis “woman.” Barnes, not iceling in the mood to offer one, ordered Mason from the house; but Mason, not feeling m ihe mood to go, pulled a seven barrelled revolver irom his pocket, and, presenting it at Barnes, fired two shots, neither one of which hit Barnes, owing to the excited condition in watch Mason Was at the time. ‘Tne landlord of the house, Waiter ). Benton, hearing the firing, rushed up stairs, and wrested the weapon from Mason’s hand, as he Was in the act of firing the third shot. Upon being disarmed Mason ran down the stairs, 1ollowed by Barnes, who fired three shots at him, one of them passmg over his head and lodging im the front door, AS’ Mason left the front stoop ana glided into the street, anotner ball went past his head, The would-ve mur derer, gained te street in safety, and the same night left for Philadelphia, where he remained unt! Thursday last, when he again visited tms city, surmising he would be safe. Captain Burden, ol the Twenty-ninth precinct, learning he was in the cite and was going to appear at the Grand Duchess bail Thursday night, visited the ballroom in com- oy with Detective Hagan, and lay m watt for im. About half-past three o’clock yesterday morn- ing they were rewarded by seeing Mason enter the hail and immediately caused his arrest, He was escorted to the station house in Thirtieth street, and furnished lodging for the balauce of the night, Yesterday morning he was arraigned before Jusuce Cox, at Jefferson Market, ana committed for exami- nation, Mason states that it was only a lover's quarrel, brought about by jealousy on his part. RAIDS UPON FALLEN WOMEN. To THE EDITOR OF THE HBRALD:— In the recent raid upon concert saloons in Broad. way, with the arrest of some three score of young women, no lover of order doubts the pro- priety of breaking up these hells of infamy; but it is unjust to these girls to bring them before courts of justice, with no adequate provision being made for their fature amendment and reformation—no asylum or institution established for their retreat or protection, supported by public funds, under city jurisdiction, J contend ali civil authorities, all gove ernors and rulers of people have moral and religious obligations to periorm toward God as well a8 man; that these responsibilities cannot be set at naught or denied, but must be regarded as paramount duties—as commands of the one great Hierarch of heaven and earth. Therefore it is required, and absolutely necessary, that some means suouid be devised for the decrease of the social evil and the reformation of faiien women. ‘That no public Institution is founded or supported for their vene- fit out of a public treasury 18 a sad fact, As women are large taxpayers it 1s nothing more than a just demand that some provision be made for the avove pur a shelter for the homeless, a place of resort for those who are wiiling to leave the walks of shame. Thus aid and assistance will be iven on the road of reformation, It is iolly, nay, Casey wicked, to take these defenceless, weak, ignorant women, cage them In station houses, pub- lish their names, to brand them with an evernal stain on account of their perfidious proiession. I know ail are not guilty of loss of woman’s chastity. Circumstances and poverty often force an apparent heart of virtue; they compel a woman to shameful associations, to blighted bigs” Rulers, be just. MOTHER, AN INTERESTING FAMILY, James Cavanagh, a dirty-looking individual, re siding at the corner of Watts and Hudson streets, on Thursday night called upon his sister Jane in Hudson street, where he met a married sister, named Ann Reynolds, and two other females. ‘While in the house, James states, a dispute arose between them, which terminated by the two sisters throwing him on the floor and beating him ina bratal manner with chairs and clubs. Aiter amus- ing themselves in this manner for some time they lett him to the tender mercies of the other females, who fell upon him and Kicked and beat him until he was unconsclous.

Suspicious Conduct of the Headquarters Detec, tive Force—Robbery of $50,000 and the Thieves Allowed to Escape by the ‘‘Deteo- taves”—Capture of Dutch Heinrichs by a Court Policeman—Will He Be Convicted? On the 15th day of last month two men went the banking house of J. 8. Kennedy & Co,, No, Cedar street, and requested to see one of the firm, Mr. Henry M. Baker stepped forward and on learn- ing the two were desirous of purchasing bonds in-’ vited them into the back office, The men were respectable in appearance and had a business air. about them that implied that they bad none other than honorable intentions, Reaching the office, and after each had been politely shown \ A SEAT NEAR THE LARGE TABLE ! which ‘occupied the middie of the room, one of the party announced their business more fully, stating that they had a amount of money which they wished to invest in railroad bonds—Western preferred. Mr, Baker said they had some bonds of Western roads, and stepped into the front office, returning) in & moment with o tin box, around which was, clasped a number of rubber rings, Opening the box he exhibited $33,000 worth of bonds of the Ap- pleton and New London Railway Company. He announced the terms upon which they could be sold, whereupon a general conversation ensued asi to the locality of the road and its condition, Inthe meantime p MR, BAKER RETURNED THE BONDS, : together witn a promissory uote of the value of! $14,916 45 to the box, and, placing the rubber bands! around it, !aid it down on the table. One of his supposed customers was very anxious to know all) about the Appleton and New London Rall- way, and that his destre might be fully! satisied Mr, Baker took him across the’ room to a large railroad map which hung on the wall, and pointed out to him the route and the counwy through which it passea. This operation! consumed something like ten or fifteen minutes,) during which the companion of the man whom Mr.) Baker was Instructing whiled away the time by 0s-! tensibly sauntering about and examining the various paintings with which the walls of the room! were adorned, but really by examining and appro priating une contents of the little tin box, taking great care, however, that ne should not be observed, and to leave the box in outward appeaiance Just as _Mr. Baker had last seen it, Promising to return again later in the day the two bade Mr. Baker ‘good day,” and leisurely took their departure, They had been GONE ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES when, on taking up the box for the purpose of return. ing It to the safe, Mr. Baker thougnt it felt some- what lghier than when he last handied it~ Removing the bands and throwing back the lid was the work of but hale a moment, and there, to his horror and consterna- tion, stared him in the face notning but va- cancy. Without a muoment’s hesitancy he saw through the whole thing, and knew full well that he had been cleverly robbed by the very man whom he had thought to be the embodiment of everything that is honorable, He at once notitied Police Head- juarters, and gave them a fuil and graphic discrip- ton of both the men. One of them, he remem- bered, had a piece or oll silk wrapped around one of his thumbs, which he held in the other hand, aa though he was suffering from a felon. On 10oking about the room after the the two men had gone, Mr. Baker found this piece of wrapping and turned & over to THE DETECTIVES, He sat down ana wrote out the following, wnich he caused to be printed 1 circular form and dls- tributed broadcast throughout tue country — NOTIOR. Stolen, from the office of J. 8. Reaves: & Co., No, 41 Cedar street, thirty-turee bonds, for $1,000 cach, of Apple- ton and New Loudon iLwa, ‘ta 897 inclusive, to- 2, NOs ther with a promisory nove 14,016 49 in igi, drawn by A.

KENNEDY & Co., 41 Cedar street, tiating the sume, JAN. 16, 1872. Notwithstanding this circular and the informa- tion given the detectives by Mr. Baker, the perpe- trators of this outrage have both been allowed to go scot free until Thursday evening last, when ONE OF THEM WAS ARRESTED. Not only have they not been arrested by the ‘de- tectives,”” but one of them—and perhaps both— have been allowed to walk the streets of the city in broad daylight and tn the most public manner. One of them—the one now arresied—has actually been seen at Police Headquarters since the rob- bery, sauntering about leisurely, with an alr of per- fect security, and it is probaoly safe to say that had the firm of Kennedy & Co. waited for Captain Irving's men to arrest either he or his accomplice, they would have grown grey i the service. Almost holt iag 4 of ever securing the arrest of the offenders, Mr. Baker last Wednesday went to the Tombs Police Court and saw Sergeant Quinn, of the Court squad, to whom he described them. From this descripuon the Sergeant at once recognized one of the party to be the notorious Heury Newman,. better known as “DUTCH HEINRICHS,” and so informed, Mr. Baker, Cpekea: to Judge Hogan, ® warrant was obtained for elnricn’s’ arrest and placed in Quinn’s hand. over to the Sixth precinct station house the Sergeant secured the assistance of Ward De- lective Dolan, and together they set out in quest of their game, The remainder of Wednesday they Spent in Wall street, where they knew “Hemrichs”? ‘was wont to tarry, but not meeting with success they started out next morning, Thursday, on an in- spection of the bipeds who daily perambulate Broadway. Between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, having grown weary of “working” the great thoroughfare, they directed thelr steps to- wards Houston street, the aen of all the worst thieves, murderers and outlaws of every discrip- tion who infest the metropolis, On turning the corner imagine their joy at seeing the object of their search emerge in all HIS PRISfINE GORGEOUSNESS from the front door of No. 11, on the opposite side of the street from the corner of wiuch they turned, He descended the steps and laid his course up the street, but had gone but a short distance when the tall form of Sergeant quinn loomed up by his side, and, You are the very man I want,” greeted his ears, He seemed considerably con! xd at first, and was very anxious to be allowed to return to the house for a moment just to let his friends know where he was going. Of course the Sergeant would rant no such request as this, ior he knew fall weil hat if ever ‘Heinrichs’ got into the house the gang, which is always con; ted there, would res- cue him. When he saw the Sergeant would not let him go back, he refused to accompany him to the ‘Tombs until he should be informed of the cause of his arrest. His persistent obstinacy resuited in causing & large number of persons to gather around, and, knowing the neighborhood he was in, Quinn feared an attempt would be made to RESCUE THE PRISONER if he was not speedily removed. Taking from hie coat pocket @ pair of fine steel bracelets Officer Dolan threatened ¢o apply them Ww the wrists of “Heinrichs”? if he did not acquiesce peaceably. This had the desired effect, and, without farther delay, the prisoner was taken to the Sixth precinct station house and locked up for the night, Yesterday morning he made his appearance in Court accompanied by his captors, and shortly alter Mr. Baker and two of his cierks, Messrs. Edward 3. Babcock and Wallace D. Oakman, came in, Each of these gentlemen positively identified the prisoner as the man who had the oil-silk on his thumb. Under these circum- stances Judge Hogan committed ‘tetnricns’ until this morning, when the examination will be continued, and will, in all probability, result in beg fully committed for trial. “Dutch Heinrichs” ts extensively known among the police and detective force of this city ag the hero of perhaps more bank robberies, forgeries and CRIMES OF A PROMISCUOUS CHARACTER than any two men in the country.
