The jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. BROOKLYN COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Charge of Megal Registration. Before Commissioner Winslow.

Wasurnator, D, C., Nov. 15, 1872, No. 233, Voorhees, Assignee in Bankruptcy, ve, Bonesteel and Wife,—Appeal from the Circuit Court | on as to ativda vits 1 to inquire and report as stati for the Eastern District of New York.—This was a proceeding on (he part of the assignee in bank- | ter of Petitbon of Margaret F. Rey- | ruptcy of John N. Bonesteel to reach certain stock of the Nicolson Pavenient Company of Brooklyn, alleged to be in tie hands of Mrs, Bone- stecl, the bauxrup)’s wife, as ner property, when, in fact, it is the property of the bankrupt, and should be surrendered or «tered to be paged to the payment of his debts. The defence of Mrs, Bonesteel was that the pave- ment company had assigned this stock to her in consideration of her services in procuring the aid of her inf@uential fiends m introducing this pave- ment into use on the streets of Brooklyn, and that she did bring such aid to the company, having, among others, induced her brother-in-law—tion. 8. R, Chittensten—to take an interest in the matter, and at his own expense, to put down a trial block of the pavement ip front of his own door, She also averred that another consideration to her was that her husband—who was President o! the company when the suit was cominenced—should be em- ployed by the company, &c., at @ remu- neration “much more profitable than | the business he was then engaged im. The Court found the property to belong rightfuliy to the wife, and the decree was in her favor. it is here in- sisted on appeal that the assignment of the stock Was realiy in consideration of the husband's ser- viees, and not of the wife’s, and that tie Courts have not yet gone so far and ought not to go so far as to give a married woman the time, or services, the skill, brains or muscle of her hus- band, as will be done in this case if the decree be- low is allowed to stand. ‘The recent laws of the State of New Yord, it is urged, do not authorize a whe to take property from her husband, but only Protect her in her own earnings and aliow her to engage in trade, J. P.C, Cotirill for appellant; appelices not ap- pearing. No, 238, Miller et al. vs, People of New York ct al.—Error to Court of Appeals of the State of New York,—This was an action in the nature of a quo warranto brought by the Attorney General of the State of New York against the plaintiff's in error, who were al 1 to have usurped the office of | Directors of the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad, By the act of 1851, amending the charter of the city of Rochester, authority was given the Corporation, upon certain conditions, to subseribe for and become the owner of $300,000 of the stock | of the road in question, and it was provided that in case the road decided to receive the subscription the city should have power to nominate and appoint one director for every $75,000 of the stock it held, but should have no voice in the election of the other directors of the company, of whom there were thir- teen, The road elected to receive the subscription of the city, and it was so made, and the provisions of the act were in other respects carried out, Sub- acquently, in 1867, the Legislature of the State passed an act amending the act of 1851, by giving tne Common Council of Rochester authority to ap- point one director tor every $42,865 57 of stock owned by the city, the effect of which was to give the city power to appoint seven of the thir- teen directors. The stockholders, other than the city, disregarded the amendment, and pro- ceeded to elect the p.aintitts in error directors, at the next annua! election; and the city, in pursuance of it, appointed seven directors. ihe Court held that the election of the piaintiit in error was irregular, and that the appointment by | the Common Council was valid, To the end that the case might be brought up for final decision, the Court of Appeals atirmed the judgment pro | Jorma, and it is here argued that the amendment ‘of 186718 unconstituth lin that it impairs the obligation of the contract authorized by the act of 1851, and wiich had been consummated between the parties thereto. The act authorizes the city to appoint a greater number of directors than that agreed upon and assented to by the road at the time the subscription was made, and, in luct. makes @ new contract for the road without its consent. In answer to the position assumed by the defendants in error, that the con- tract was made with full kaowledge of the re- served right of the State to alter and amend the charters of each of the contracting parties, it is said that they also had knowledge of the limits of legislative power and the restraints imposed by the constitution of the United Sta‘es, and that the ob- ligations of contracts are sacred and beyond the reach of legislative action, Theodore Bacon for plaintiff in error; James C, Cochrane for defendants in error, COURT OF APPEALS DAY CALENDAR, ALBANY, N, Y., Nov. 15, 1872. The following is the Court of Appeals day calen- dar for November 18, 1872:—Nos, 189, 487, 485, 492, 495, 496, 498, 499, CONFIDENTIAL CUMMI ee A Friendly Meeting and a Sorrowful Parting—The Cost of Conviviality. William Stephenson, of 420 West Nineteenth street, had taken passage on the Inman steamer which sailed last Saturday. He went early in the morning and got his things on board; he came off the vessel and was standing on the corner of Charl- ton and West streets as if uncertain what to do, A man of good appearance approached him and asked Mr. Stephenson if he was going on that vessel. Mr. Stephenson answered in the aMirmative, and the stranger introduced himself as Mr. Join McNeill, an agent of the Wheeler & Wilson’s sewing machine manufactory, who was going abroad to introduce the article in the European market. Mr. McNeill was FROM THR NORTH OF IRELAND, and Mr. Stephenson from Aberdcen; so a friend- ship sprung up between them. They went intoa neighboring liquor saloon, had a few hot whiskeys together, in the course of which proceeding a certain amount of good feeling and convivial good nature was engendered. Mr. McNeill and Mr. Stephenson came out of the saloon and stood on the corner, still talking, when a man, With a linen duster, the front of which was covered with ink, and a pen behind his ear, came up and said, “Mr, McNeill, I've just sent your luggage down on the dock, and the expressage is $11.” Mr. McNeill felt his po NOTHING BUT & SOVEREIGNS. Mr. Stephenson, if you have $11 in currency let me have it, and I will reimburse you as soon as 1 can effect an exchange.” Mr. Stephenson readily and cheerfully complied. The expressage being adjusted and Mr, McNeill fecling anxious about an engagement of impor- tance he was reluctantly compelied to part with his friend Stephenson, but in order that he might not fail to reach the steamer in time next morn- ing, requested the loan of his friend's timepiece, a watch worth about $50, Mr. Stephenson waited next morning up to the hour of ten and even up to twelve o’ciock, but his loving countryman came not. He went to the agent of the company, but, to his dismay, the latter could tind NO SUCH NAME AS M'NEILL applied for further informa- tion at W! ‘on’s establishment, but they knew nought of the missing one. o.r. Stephenson i, this time began to entertain a suspicion that his friend was a swindler, and he acquainted the on with his predicament, and Officer Standish, ‘om the description given him, arrested one Join Cummings, a veteran operator, Cummings was arraigned before Alderman Coman yesterday at the Tombs and was held to hail in $1,000 to answer, while his victim was con- signed to the House of Detention as a witness, NOTORIOUS NICHOLSON, How They Manage Target Excursions in the Sixth Ward.

The friend of Robert Fox was elected, and a great deal of bitter feeling was engendered thereby.

THE BALL MISSED ITS AMM, but it struck @ woman, named Mary Coffey, who was standing in the haliway of 89 Mulberry street, Oflicer Doian, of the Sixth precinet, has been LOOKING OUT FOR NICHOLSON for the past two weeks, and only succeeded In cap- turing him the day betore yesterday, Nickolson is well known. In i869 he killed a man named Patrick McCormick. He was tried and convicted of manslaughter in the first degree and served two years 1 SiX months for that crime.

The General Missionary Committee of the Meth odist Episcopal Charch met yesterday at ten o’elock and continued their appropriations to those foreign stations that had for one cause or other been laid aside tie day previous. Bishop Foster who administers the mission work in Germany, Switzerland and Scandinavia, was absent on Thurs- day, and in deference to him the appropriations to those places were passed by until yester- day, when he was present. There was then some discussion touching the propriety of the committee appropriating the $2,500 asked for on Thursday to establish Methodist missions among the Indians in Arizona and New Mexico. Dr. Crawford thought it was a matter belonging solely to the Board of Managors. Bishop Harris announced that the Episcopal Board had hada meeting and had appointed Bishops Andrews, Merrill and Peck @ commission to examine that ‘Territory, and if they deem it prudent to establish the missions as contemplated, The motion for the appropriation by the committee was then with- drawn, and another recommending the Board of Managers to appropriate $2,500 for this purpose was adopted. The vote whereby the SWEDISH MISSIONS IN NEW YORK and New York East Conferences were divided on Thursday, and $1,000 given to the latter, was re- considered, with a view to make the New York Mission appropriation $3,500, instead of $2,500, The additional $1,000 was designed to give a helper to Pastor Hedstrom and to provide preaching ina Bethel in Brooklyn and in another at Perth Am- boy, N. J. The committee did not feel disposed to go beyond the immediate bounds of New York, and therefore refused the additional appropria- tion, The Bishops who shall preside at these two Conferences are, however, if by the Spring it shall be judged best, to separate Dean street Swedish church, Brooklyn, from the New York Conterence and give it to the New York East, and with it the $1,000 taken as above, The appropriations for Germany and Switzerland were then taken up, and, on representations by Bishop Foster and Rey, Mr, Rothweiler and others, $24,000 was appropriated for the segular work and $5,000 for the extension of the work in new fields, and $500 contingent on the Bishop being able to find a man already on the ground to opena mission in Berlin, It was declared during the discussion that since the union of Germany under one head that Empire had been wonderiully opened up for the reception of the Gospel and the founding of Methodist missions. The committee had felt them- selves authorized, therefore, to increase the appro- priations $3,500. The mission now owns church property valued at 321,313 thalers, and last year it had raised $337 missionary money. On motion, $2,500 contingent fund was added, Bishop Simpson took the chair, and the APPROPRIATIONS FOR DENMARK called out some severe strictures on the financial ability of Rey. Mr. Willerup, the superintendent of missions in that land, The discussion which en- sued was participated in by Dr. Crawford, Bishops Harris, Simpson, Peck and Foster and others, and it showed that while Mr, Willerup is an excellent man as a preacher and a Christian, he lacks finan- cial tact and ability, and engages in SOEBEBEIEDS which involve him in debt. He 1s now inextricably invoived, so that the Missionary Roce ty or some other friend or friends must pay his debts, His continuance in his present position as the representative of the Americs Methodist Church in Denmark is detrimental to the interests and progress of the missions there. Two ears ago Bishop Simpson had removed him, but being unable to finda suitable man to take his place 1 left him there conditionally; and, be- sides that, all the ministers in the mission stations in Denmark and Norway had united in a protest against his transfer or removal. It is also a fact that should be known that he cannot leave the Kingdom of Denmark without paying his debts, so that if he should be called to America some one must step to his aid financially. Bishop Foster thought he could find a man to take Mr. Willerup’s place, and he designed to make a special visit to the missions in Northwestern Europe and would inquire inte Brother Willerup’s em- barrassments, His debts were said to amount to $2,800 in but Bishop 1a; Harris believed they would fe found to exceed $5,000. Dr. Durbin thought Mr. Willerup could be made useful in his old field in Norway, but the commitice were not disposed to leave him where he could involve the Church or the Mis- sionary Society in debi. He had published some books In the Danish language on_ his own specuia- tion, and, as Bishop Harris remarked, had he made $10,000 by the venture the Missionary Society would not have got a dollar of it; but they did not sell as he anticipated, and he owes for paper, printing and other things, and has involved himself in various suits, so that his removal is imperatively demanded, SUPERINTENDENT WILLERUP RECALLED, On motion of Bishop Ames, therefore, Bishop Foster was advised to recall Mr. Willerup immedi- ately, andl on motion of Dr. Crawford the Board was instructed to investigate the financial atfairs of the mission in Denmark by cominission or otherwise, and to act as in their good judgment and discretion should be found best. There was, therefore, an appropriation of $7,000 made to this mission, a portion thercot being contingent on an extension of the work. To Norway $8,269 60 was appropriated, and to Sweden, where a wonderful revival of religion has been progressing, $19,264, of which sum $580 is contingent on new work. An interesting letter was read from Rev. Mr. Witting, the superintendent in that field, in which he states that there are 1,000 persons on probation in the missions, and nearly as many more have been ad- mitted into {ull membership during the year, Bishop Foster and Rev, Olis Gibson pressed the claims of the Chinese missions in Caiitornia and Oregon. Mr. Gibson thought it was the greatest work that God had ever opened up betore the Church. And instead Oe NG $60,000 to China he would give $100,000, if he could, and instead of having eight men in that land he would have thirty, He wanted at least $7,000 tor his own work in California, $1,200 of which he asked for the Woman’s Missionary Society’s work. Bishop Har- ris‘wanted all of this money, if granted, to be ad- ministered by the California Conference. Bishop Ames said it cost from one hundred to two hun- dred per cent more to maintain missions among THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA than It did in the province of Canton, China, where they come from, and he was in favor of closing up the mission in California and opening one in Can- ton, as suggested by Mr. Gibson, Bishop Foster considered this the most preposter- ons proposition he had ever heard, and he was é shop Ames’ u: ent | Seat ty tear iteeee, he Oe ig of Forty-fifth street and Fifth avenue, on Monday, fatling him in this instance, Objection having been made to an item of taxes in the schedule of estimates for this mission, Mr. Gibson explained that it was inserted because the Missionary Socicty paid them last year, and he would just as lief pay the taxes and insurance trom the rents of the Mission Honse in San Francisco as to pay $420 for the rent of a bazaar preacning place and $50 a month each to two teachers and other incidentals for which no appropriations are asked or made, The rentals average #100 a month, and by direction of the Mission Board here ‘they must cover the expenses of the building, which | they do and a few hundred dollars over, which ar spent in extending the work among the Chinese immigrants, The appropriation of $7,000 was granted to DOMESTIC MISSIONS, The appropriations to domestic missions in charge of annual conferences called out debate on the practice or propriety of establishing or sus- taining missions on a caste basis for either white or colored people. Dr, Tiffany called attention to a case that came before them some time ago from Atlanta, where $1,500 was given to help a white con- gregation exclusively. Bishops Aines and Harris ex- plained that there was nothing in the discipline nor in the administration of the Methodist Episcopal Church that admitted of distinctions being made “on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude,” and that a certificate of membership is good in any Methodist church in America; and while the debate which ensued on the proposi- tion referred to by Dr. Tiffany showed that the ap- propriation was for a white congregation exclu- sively, there was nothing in their application for aid to show it; and, besides, Dr, Hitchcock, Dr. Dashiell and others had preached to colored peo- ple in that same Lloyd street church, Atlanta, ‘The appropriation of $7,000 was made to Arkansas When tae committee took a recess for dinner, Afternoon Session. Bishop Ames presided. A motion by Dr. Reid to Fe inal $4,000 each for two new missions in Stockholm and Guttenburg was laid over until the domestic list was disposed of. There was a gene- ral effort ou the part of representatives to secure large appropriations for their respective districts. Astrong plea was made by Mr. Gibson for the establishinent of missions among the villages and towns along the bay between San José and San Francisco, where other denominations have churches, but the Methodists have not one in all that distance of tfty miles, in a rapidly growing neigh- borhood, An increase was also asked for Georgia Florida, Mississippi, Lovisiana and other Southern Conferences for the extension ot their work, as new fields are constantly opening up to them. the practice of the Baltimore Conference in directing ‘Viteilaker had repeatedly threatened to termina bis existence, Coroner Schirmer yesueelay held | au ingugst in the case, 4 ortion of its rele Mise | collections toward city missions waa condemned in debate, though not by any format action, The results of the day's work by the commuttge will be found below, There Je an increase of appropriations to most of the Conferences :— a ised 5) Norway Swedeil.

A terrible crime was committed in Paris on the hight of the 22d ult., in @ house of ili-fame, situated on the Boulevard de Montrouge, A man known there by the name of Alexis passed the night in the chamber of a young woman named Rosatie Lalle- mand, where he caused himself to be served with three botties of wine and as many of lemonade, for which he paid liberally, At six the next morning | he lett the house singing. Towards eleven, as the girl did not make her appearance, the other in- mates penetrated into the room, where a horrible spectacle struck their sight, namely, the dead body of the woman lying near the Window, the head pierced with no less than seventeen wounds, and the neck showing evident marks of strangula- tion. The bedclothes were soiled, ag if the mur- derer had wiped his hands on them betore leaving, and the victim was despoiled of only a few francs, and a metal snuff-box known to be in her posses- m, and which the murderer is supposed to have looked on as silver, Active researches are being made to trace the criminal, Srort iN ScoTtanp.—The deer-stalking season at Wlair Castle (the Field says)’ was wound up with @ fortnight’s sport which surpasses any sport recorded as yet in a Highland deer forest, the Duke of Athole and his two guests, the Hon. Colonel Fraser and Mr. Edward Ross, having in fourteen. days killed no less than ninety-seven stags. Mr. Edward Ross got forty-three, Colonel Fraser twenty-eight and the Duke of Athole twenty-six, These Were all killed by Jair stalking, as no driving of the deer was allowed, nee MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
