SUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. ‘The case of George Wasrington Bowen vs. Nelson @hase was resumed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Shipman and a special jary. After some documentary evidence had been putin the plaintiff was examined, The case was adjourned till to-day. The O’Conor Don, M. P., and his brother, Denis M. 0’Conor, Esq., M. P., were present during a considerable portion of the pro- weedings of yesterday. Commissioner Osborn yesterday commenced the @xamination of Denis Noonan, who is charged, @nder the Extradition treaty with England, with baving committed forgery at Charleville, county ork, Ireland, Depositions touching the charge recently received from Ireland were submitted by eounee! for the English government, and, after the sccused had been identified as the party named in the charge, there was an adjournment till Friday wext, In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday the Greater portion of the day was occupied in the trial of Jacob Bender, a German, for tie manslaughter of Matthew Burke on the 22d of iast July, by stab- bing him with a knife. The offence was clearly proven, and the jury having found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter in the third degree Judge Ingraham sentenced him to imprisonment in the ®@tate Prison for three and a half years. John Doe, who was indicted for assault and bat- ‘ery and attempting to kill Mr. Potter by beating bim about the head witi a club, having been found guilty, the sentence of the Court was deferred until the state of the prisoner's mind was ascertained, the general belief being that he was insane. John Sullivan, who pleaded guilty toa charge of grand larceny, was sentenced to the State Prison for two and a balf years, and Elizabeth Flood, who leaded guilty to a charge of shoplifting, was sen- tenced to the same prison fora like term. James Dolan, alias Fred, an old offender, pleaded guilty to charge of grand larceny, and was cemmitted to ‘he State Prison for three years, Adecision was rendered yesterday by Judge Fancher, holding Supreme Court, Special Term, that will be greatly gratifying to the judges in our Civil courts. This decision was in regard to the salary of Judge Quinn, the Judge holding that bis salary as Civil Justice has been legally fixed at $10,000 per annum and that the Comptroller must pay this amount. A verdict, which ought to prove a salutary warn- ing to housekeepers, was rendered yesterday ve- sore Judge Van Brunt, holding one of the Trial Terms of the Supreme Court. ‘The verdict was $4,500 damages on account of injuries sustained NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10), 1872.—TRIPLE SHEET. under chapter 208 of the Laws of 1869 were anthor- ized to ix the annual compensation of the judges aud clerks of the district courts, which sear id at $5,000, and the subsequent increase to $10,000 per annum of the salary by the Common Council,’ who tn this regard were granted the same powers, He refers to the act of 1870 on the subject and also tg the fact that in October of that year the Mayor and Comptroller, pursuant to thig act, fixed the salary of the civil jutices at $10,000 per annum. It was evident that at that time they supposed this to be legal and valid, and he could see no reason to suppose that it was not Bow legal and valid, The act of 1870 allowed the salary of a civil justice to pe fixed at a rate not exceedil that of a police justice, which was $10,000 per ai num, Whether'the salary paid to police justic was unlawful or othe: was a question with which he had nothing to do, It was clear that under this act the Mayor and Comptroller had the right, acting upon. their discretion, to raise the salary of civil justices up to, but not above, that of police justices. 4s to the defence that there was no money in the treasury applicable to tne plaintiff's Claim at the rate of $10,000 per annum, he entered upon @ review of the “two per cent act.” He held thas civil justices are not attached to any of the departments of the city, and that they are neither oMicers nor employ¢s of any of the departments, In conclusion he ordered Judgment for the full amount claimed, THE JUMEL ESTATE LITIGATION, The Suit of. Bowen: vs, Chase—Docu- mentary Evidence as to Property and Pedigree—Almost a Post-Mortem Case All Around=The Plaintiff on the Stand. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday the case of George Washington Bowen vs. Nelson Chase Was resumed before Judge Shipman and a special jury. Mr. Hoare, General Chatfield and Mr. Ohauncey Shatfer appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Charles O’Conor and Mr. J. C. Carter for the defendant, DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE, A considerable portion of the morning session was taken up by plaintiff's counsel putting in a mass of documentary evidence in relation to the property in question, among it being a deed from Alexander Hamilton and his wife, dated 31st of October, 1834, Among other papers read was an extract from an affidavit made by Mr. Chase, dated 16th November, 1870. In this paper Mr. Chase said that Eliza B. Jumel had often stated to him the facts of her family history, and among other things that she was born in Providence and was the daughter of John and Phoebe Bowen, In another affidavit made by Mr. Chase, Octoner 29, 1870, which wag read, he stated that the maiden name of Eliza B. Jumel, by which she was com- monty regarded tn early life, was Betsy Bowen, DEPOSITION OF CATHARINE B. WILLIAMS, The deposition of Catharine R. Williams was offered in evidence. This old lady is dead, but a copy of her testimony given on the former trial ‘was sent to the Court, enclosed in @ sealed en- velope. On being opened Mr. Chatfleld proceeded to read it to the jury with the exception of the parts that had been ruled out. The testimony con- sisted merely of a copy of the short-hand writer's notes of Mrs. Williams’ evidence given on the for- mer trial, The witness had stated that she knew @ woman in Providence called Betsy Bowen; had often seen her pass her house; had heard of Major Ballon, but did not know him. This portion of the Late of Mrs. Williams was excluded as being earsay. Mr. O’Conor said he wished now to object to the introduction of any declarations or statements by Madame Jumel, nota party to this suit and not under oath, Nota word of this hearsay was ad- missible. They were now trying to find out who Madame Jumel was, who were her friends and whom she knew. The Court said the evidence only tended to show peas that Madame Jumel was from Provi- dence, R. I. After some remarks by Mr, Hoar, the Court allowed the testimony, and Mr. O’Conor ex- cepted to the ruling. ‘he deposition was further read. Init Mra, Wil- liams stated that she had known George Washing- ton Bowen since he was a little boy, She had seen Mrs. Freelove Ballou leading him about in Provi- dence. He was just then a little fellow in trousers, When he grew up a young man he bore a very strong resemblance to Betsy Bowen. Mrs. Willlams further stated that she had not spoken to Betsy Bowen and called her by her name in Providence. She could not tell exactly how often she had seen Betsy Bowen pass- ing her door; she had seen Freelove Ballon stand- ing at a door of a house im Charles street, Provi- dence; but Mrs. Williams did not go into it; it was not a respectable house to go into. THE PLAINTIFF GIVES TESTIMONY. George Washington Bowen, the plaintiff, was examined, He testified substantially the same as he did on the last trial, He gave a history of his early life in Providence; stated that he knew Reu- ben Ballon there; and on what is called the “Kin; Henry Book,” which contains a statement signe by Syaseeneas mde ela Re nates identified it asthe handwriting of Ballon, With respect to the question of the plaintif’s parentage he was closely examined, and the question as to whether he knew if Madame Jumel was his mother was excluded by the Court on objection by counsel toy defendant. ‘The further hearing of th ull to-day.

The trial of Abram Nelson upon an indictment foy burgiary upon the premises of Phelps, Dodge & o., iron merchants, was yesterday continued in the General Sessions before Recorder Hackett. Fhe defendant was put upon the stand. He de- sailed all the circumstances attending his knowl- edge of and acquaintance with the firm of the compiainants in the case; his first visit to the premises in a@ “business’’ way; his subsequent ‘visits to the office with the same purpose ; his help- ing himself to the loan of an umbrella; taking @ome diotting paper to protect him from the rain en his way home, and the whole of his version of ‘the case will be fouw in the subjoined report of ‘the case, PAY OF CIVIL JUSTICES, dadge Quinn’ Controversy with the Comptroller as to His Salary—Decision ef Judge Fancher, of the Supreme Court, in the CasemJudge Quinn Sus- tained and the Grounds for Sustaining Him, Judge Quinn, of the First Judicial district, was elected Judge for six years from the ist January, 1870, Vhe date mentioned and still continues to perform the daties of civil justice. ‘the rate of $10,000 per annum, and there was no a@iMcuity in the way until September, a year ago, when the Comptroller insisted that he had ven | receiving twice as much as he was entitied to, and Tefused to pay the full amount claimed. Judge Quinn Would not submit to this fifty per cent re- duction, and the Comptroller, still holding out in bis determination not to pay any more, suit was brought against the latter for his fuli sal, ary from the let of September, 1871, to the Bist of May, 1872, at the rate of $10,000 per sunum. Special importance was attached to the sult, because the result concerned not oniy Judge Quinn, bat because all the other civil justives were ib the sane boat. ihe defence was that the Judge's salary was fixed by law at $5,000 a year, and fur- ther, it was declared that there was no money in the treasury appropriated for the payment of the salary at $10,000 per annum. A demurrer was to this answer. It is unnecessary to go over ali the details of the case, as ‘hey have been here- tofore published. Jndge Fancher, of the Supreme Sots eran gave his decision in the case. It io ra voluminous, covering some twenty pages of written foolacap, The following is an apstract of the opinion :— JUDGE FANCHBR'S OPINION, fle first takes up the question of the salary and whether the same is legally fixed at $10,000 per annum or at hall this amount, as alleged by the Comptroiier, He holds that this pointie setued bythe action of tie Board of Supervisure, who He entered upon the duties of his office at | He drew bia saiary, at | Phelps, Dodge & Co., and was in the habit of com- ing to our place; my father had been doing business with Phelps, Dodge & Co. for fifteen years; I first went to their counting house in the evening about November on Peterson's invitation; he invited me and Mr. McPherson, who is under indictment, to visit the place; we went there and he took us from garret to cellar, showing us books, papers and everything connected with the business that was open{ I went there to get information that would be of VALUE TO ME IN CONDUCTING BUSINESS, and that was my sole object; Peterson did not tell me on the day of the arrest that Phelps, Dodge & Co., suspected me; on the evening of the day of the arrest I met Peterson, who told me that the clerks had left, that there was nobody there and I could come round; I went there at half-past seven; Peterson's wife was standing in the doorway of came half an hour afterwards; he said he had been marketing; | remained two or three hours; the night of the lst of June was rainy and I asked Pe- | terson to loau me an umbrella; he handed mea | very old cotton one which I was ashamed te carry; | Lasked him to give mea better one, and he told | me to keep the one he gave me; he turned back to | the rear of the office to put out the gas, and secing | one lying in the closet I took it and put it under {the witness showed how he concealed | my vest. | the sik umbreila mentioned in fhe indictment.) up to the station house with my hand upon it; I | took it with the intention of leaving the old one at the United States Hotel and taking it to Newark and returning iton Monday, ag 1 was ashamed to carry the old one; I put the PACKAGE OF BLOTTING PAPER behind my vest, as it Was arainy night and did | not wish to carry @ bundle; I told Peterson that J wanted to do some writing on the following Sun- day, and asked hin tor a few euvelopes and some blotting paper, as I did not wish to return to our | ofiice beiore going to Newark, which he handed to ine. fhe defendant was cross-examined by Judge Fullertou th a most exhaustive manner, nation lasting over two hours, Nelson said he did not send presents to Mrs. Peterson nor toys to the children, but be did loan Mr. Peterson money to purchase a stove and a barrel of flour; the ac- | cused said that he went to the Messrs. Dodges’ piace between thirty and forty times, but only visited the piace six or eigit limes upon his own suggestion; he admitted | COPYING ORDERS AND the exaini- EXTRACTS 1 AND WRITING TO THRIR CUSTOMERS, | whose names he obtained, offering to sell goods | cheaper than Dodge & Co. Certain papers were | suown to the witness, who said that Peterson gave them to him, stating that they came from the | waste basket; he requested Peterson to do so, | thinking that there would be information tn them | which would be of value to hin. Nelson ald that | he had an original invoice of tin plate, which Mr, | Hervey, one of Dodge & Co.'s clerks, joaned to him; Peterson also gave to him (Nelson) bill-heads and note and letter paper with PHELPS, DODGE & CO.'S NAME | upon them; Nelson wrote half a dozen different handwritings, and stated that he wrote on one of those printed sheets certain statements about tin, and told Israel Shonberg that it came from one of th ‘ks of Phe! BS poage & Co; the defendant also admitted that he obtained the im- iy information from one of the letter books of hat firm that Phelps, Dodge & Co., were about to buy up all the Kossian iron for seven yeara, and Wat be pout gale telegrams to Bt, Petergpure ip the office: both ties of the iron doors were | open; she asked me to come in, and I talked with her a few moments; Peterson | should commit him for three years and sx months | | Going ont of the door 1 was arrested and waiked | , whens order to break the contract up, The accused re- luctantly admitted that he took AN IMPRESSION OF A KEY in sealing wax, which was furnished by Peterson, who told me that a key was made, Nelson said that he was charged with receiving and porskaaing leather which was said to have been stolen from the Methodist Book Concern.

A large number of gentiemen in the tin and iron business were called and examined on the subject of character, all of whom testified to the good repu- tation of Abram Nelson. The prosecution offered no rebutting testimony. Recorder Smith then proceeded to address the Court in reference to the indictment, claiming that there were legal flaws in it, and that if the defend. ant could be convicted of any offence it would be of petit larceny in stealing the umbrella. ir. Smith had not concluded his argument at a late hour in the afternoon. The cage will be con- cluded to-day, THE BENDER-BURKE HOMICIDE. Another Widow in Court—Arraignment and Trial of the Prisoner—Brief His- tory of the Case—A Scene in Court—The Evidence for the Defence--Verdict and Sentence—Three Years and a Half in the State Prison, The Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judge In- graham presiding, was occupied during the greater portion of yesterday’s sitting in the trial of Jacob Bender, a German, who was arraigned for the man- slaughter of Matthew Burke at 635 West Forty- second street, on the 22d ef last July, by stabbing him witha knife. The circumstances of the case, which were reported in the HERALD at the time, were briefy these:—Bender, in consequence of some rudeness on the part of the son of deceased, struck him with a strap, and upon Burke's re- monstrating with him for having taken the law into his own hands a@ quarrel ensued, in which the prisoner stabbed the deceased three times, from which injuries he died, ‘The widow of deceased was in Court, dressed in deep mourning, and in tears, and during the pro- gress of the trial had to be removed twice from the room, once in hysterics and another time in a fainting condition. District Attorney Garvin, in stating the circum- stances of the case before the jury, said tne pris- oner was, indeed, a fortunate man that the Grand Jury had ignored the bill for murder in the first degree and brought in simply an indictment for manslaughter. He dwelt at some length upon the cruel mode adopted by the prisoner to murder his victim and the absence of real motive for so base a crime. TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION. The first witness called was Mary Burke, the widow of deceased, who, in a trembling voice and with tears streaming down her cheeks, deposed that on the morning of the 22d of July last she was standing at the front door of her residence, No, 635 West Forty-second street, when she saw Bender come along with a stick and strike her little son; she sald nothing to him at the time, but when her husband came home in the evening the boy explained to deceased that the prisoner had struck him; shortly afterwards Bender came to- wards the house, avhen tho deceased asked him why he did not let the boy alone, as he or his mother could have punished him if he had done wrong; Bender, without any provocation, then stabbed the deceased several times—once in the stomach, once in the arm, afd a cut was also upon his neck; this was on the Monday evening, and he died on the Thursday following at ten o'clock; prisoner attacked deceased at first upon the door- Step and afterwards pushed him into the hall. In cross-examination the witness denied that her husband ran at the prisoner or laid hold of him; there was no quarrel, and all that wag said were the few words she had repeated, Danie) Greedenburgher, the keeper of a lager beer saloon, next door to where the affray oc- curred, deposed that when he went to light the Jamp outside his saloon he heard two men fighting in the hallway next door, and told them to come out into the street if they wanted to fight; he atterwards saw Burke, who Was bieeding, and com- plained that he was stabped, Frank McGann, a police officer, deposed that he was proceeding along West Forty-second street at about ten minutes past eight o’clock on the even. ing in question, when he mot tue ucuTaaca, w npen eccing him, stooped down, showed him wounds and reyuested him to go to the drug store with him, as he was stabbed ; he asked the deceased who had stabbed him, and he promised to tell him when he reached the drug store; when there de- ceased said that Bender had stabbea him, in con: sequence of which he afterwards arrested Bender, png the “speared igentified him as the man who ad assaulted him; wept to Bender's house and found a knife, upon the blade of which there was ood, and the prisoner acknowledged that he was the owner of the knife; it had a blade about five and a half inches im length. In cross-examination by defendant's counsel the witness said he found the knite upon a shelf in the closet, but denied that it was found in a box with other knives; there were other things on the shelf, but no knives, and the blood upon the knife was quite plain enough to be observed, Dr. Jobn Hirchfleld deposed that on the 2d of last July he was called at about nine o'clock in the evening to a drug store in Forty-second street to see the deceased. On examination he first ob- served astab wound in the arm and afterwards a wound in the abdomen, from which a pordon of the smaller intestines were protruding, whith he replaced, and continued to visit the deceased up to the time of his death; the cause of death was peritonitis and hemorrhage caused by the wands, Dr. Joseph Cushman, who made the post-mortem examination, deposed that he examined the body of Mr, Burke and found an incised wound the leit arm and another wound in the abdomen about one and a half inches in length, which penetrated the abdominal cavity; there was @ quantity of blood in the abdomen and inflammation sur- rounded the wound; death, as stated by Dr. fauaee” was caused by peritonitis ani hem- orrhage. Mary Egan was called and corroborated the evi- dence of Mrs. Burke in every particular, und said she heard Mrs, Burke call out, “On! the kufe! the knue |” THE PRISONER'S ACCOUNT OF THE AFFRAY, The prisoner, who is a German and vas ex- amined through an_ interpreter, depose ‘as fol- lows:—That he sent his little girl into an sdjacent store for some bread, when she was metby a son of the deceased, who punched her and enavored to prevent her entering the shop; witmwss went down and gave hima cut with a strap, aid after- wards returned to his room and commened a con- versation with some woman; the deceacd then came up to him and seized him by the tlroat and called him a “son of a whore,” punched him and threatened to kill him; with one haid he en- deavored to throttle him, and with throther he kept Dense him in the head and face; he was pushed on to the floor, but observing thai the de- ceased hud a knife in his hand witness enleavored to secure it, and in the scuttie it fell to theground; be admitted, however, that he stabbe the de- | ceased, and said he stabbed him first, ani findin; he was punched again by the deceased, histabbed him again; he couid not tell where hestabped him, but the knife went into the body somwhere, THR CHARGE, VERDICT AND SENTENE. His Honor briefly summed up the case tthe fury, and said the evidence went to show that he killing in this case Was not justiflable. There ws no evi- dence to support a higher charge than tht of man- slaughter in the third degree, and he adised the Jury to return such a verdict, The jury, without leaving the box, reurned a verdict in accordance with the Judge’s sagestion, | | and His Honor, in sentencing the prisone, saia he to the State Prison, the prisoner having aken the lite of the deceased without any cause watever, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER OURTS, — Ginn UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COUR, The Case of Noonan, the Alleged "orger— | | Wiiliam F, Howe tor the prisoner, FROM Lerrens | | | nard Ht.

Potter, the ticket agent of the Long Island Railroad Company, by beating hia with a club. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The evidence went to prove that the prisoner went into complainant's office while he was count- ing out the proceeds of the day’s business, and annoyed the woman who was cleaning the floor and endeavored to wrest the mop away from her, Complainant interceded and requested him to go away, when the prisoner attaeked him with the mop handle, struck him heavily over the head and inflicted such injuries that his life was despaired of by the doctors for some ane The jury found the prisoner: guilty of assault with intent to do bodily harm, and the Court re- manded the prisoner in order that an examination of the state of his mind might be made, it being alleged that he was insane, PLEADS GUILTY TO GRAND LARCENY.

James Dolan, alias Ford, an old offender, known to the police and the criminal Courts of the city, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with grand larceny, committed in the night time, from the person of Mr. E, ©. Judson. After plead- ing, his counsel, Mr. Howe, made a strong and earnest appeal to the clemency of the Court, not on the prisoner's own account, but in mercy to the unfortunate wife and five children of the prisoner. Counsel assured the Court that when the prisoner had served out such lenient sentence as might now be meted out to him he should be sent far from the scene of his past career, where, he trusted, the prisoner's sad experience would be a lesson to him and direct him to pursue an honest and straight, forward life hereaiter, Judge Ingraham said the offence was one which was not entitled to any mercy from the Court, it was an offence which he regretted to observe was on the increase and was committed during the night time. Mercy to the wife and children was no mercy to the community and he sentenced him to three years’ imprisonmentin the State Prison, The prisoners wife, a woman of highly respecta- ble appearance, was in Court, weeping bitterly, with two of her children neatly dressed, who in in their innocence were unconscious of the whole proceed- ings of the Court, little realizing the rueful posi- tion of their parent as he wag removed trom the dock, SUPREME COURT—TRIAL TERM.

White, Charles C. White, Stephen ©, Whitmore and James Lock, for a balance of about $800, as makers of notes amounting to $1,288 38, under the firm of White, Son & Whitmore. The defence on the part of Mr. Lock was that these notes were the paper of a firm of which he was the special partner and therefore not liable, The evidence showed that on the 24th of April, 1870, J. M. White and Mr. Lock were in partnership. On that day articles of partnership were executed by all the defendants 1 this action, by which Mr. Lock was to become a “special” or “silent partner” tor two years, from May 1, 1870, and to contribute $5,000 in cash to- wards it. On the 17th of May, 1870, these parties made and betes hy a statutory certificate of the formation of a limited partnership for two years, to commence on the previous 2d of May, 1870, This certificate was registered on the 14th of June, 1870, and publication commenced on the 16th of June. On this state of facts the Court held that the feo was a general and never was a jimited partnership for the reasons— Firdt—The articles of copartnership leave it to the option of Mr. Lock to be a “special” or a “silent” part- ner, Which are irreconcilable positions, ‘Sécond—The tormation of a special partnership on the 17th May upon a capital agreed to be furnished on the Md of May was not such a contribution as protects the cial pe riner. Third—The claim that a limited partnership is to com- mence ata past period is unauthorized and inoperative and vitiates the lezal effect claimed for it Fourth—The want ot registry of the certificate Leonard. ranted | the 14th June, 1870, was @ failure to comply with the siatute. Judgment for plaintiff! for amount claimed and interest and cosis and $25 allowance, COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS, Trial of an Alleged Swindiler. Before Judges Bixby, Scott and Ledwith. For some time past there have been various schemes practised for the purpose of inducing young men to mingle in so-called “games of chance,’’ where the chances are decidedly against them. The first case called at the Court of Special nature, M. Colt, Jr, and the defendant Dr. Colt was hurried to the stand in a state ol great trepidation and directed by his counsel to state his cause, The Doctor is @ little man, very nervous, and it was evidently a great task for him to appear in the rdle of prose- cutor, As he took the witness’ seat Mr. Justice Bixby looked on him compassionately and GREATLY REASSURED HIM, ‘Don’t be alarmed, Doctor, Proceed with your “tine tte Doctor moved his ¢ little Doctor move lasses nneaall, a at last seated himself. . oan DH. COLT’S STATEMENT, Dr. Colt—Last Friday. just after dinner, 1 was the complainant being Edwin M. D., hailing from Troy, Passing through Canal street, when I met @ man, ! whom I phaii call No.1, He accosted me by au- other name, and I answered him, stating that my name was Dr. Coit, of Troy. ane Bixby—Well, what has this to do with the complaint Dr. Colt—I want to tell you the story. Imet a secoud Map, who asked me if 1 was not Dr, Golf, of Troy, and of course I answered “Yes.” e walked down Canal street together, and he told me he had just won a prize and was going to get it cashed, and asked me to go along with him, We were passing 2 272 Canal street and he said that was the place and asked me to go in. We knocked at the door, and my friend No. 2 was told by the keeper that it was the right place and invited in, fudge Bixby—-Well, what then? Di t—Tthen my friend whom I call No. 2 pre- sented @ ticket and got a check and some money. We then went over to where was a board cov- ered with red and black squares, There were some dice brought out and they commenced playing a game. My friend lost his check and the rest of his money, Judge Bixby—Bnt what did you lose ? Dr. Colt—Well, I am getting to it as fast as I can. There was $100 on the table, and my friend No. 2 got $29 from me to play, which this man put in the rawer, Here ensued along alscussion between counsel as to whether this Was to be deemed a hoax or a swindle, The Court, with prompt insight, decided to hold the prisoner, under the Gaming act, and fined him five times the amount of the stake played, to stand committed until paid.

Alleged Seduction and Breach of Prom- ise—915,000 Damages Claimed. Before Judge Neilson. Bertha Steinfleld, a handsome young Jewess, brought suit against Herman Levy to recover dam- ages in the sum of $15,000 for alleged seduction and breach of promise of marriage. The plaintif’s story was that she had known the defendant three years, and in November, 1870, he first spoke to her about marriage, He said he was an honest and upright man and asked her if she would marry him. Subsequently they went to his cousin's, in Thirty-fourth street, New York, where he took her into a reception room, and asked her if she would go up stairsto see his cousin. She went up stairs with him, and on entering an apartment door was locked and he made a promise of marriage to her then, Miss Steinfield cried out, when he told her to be quiet. After that he begged to be for- given, but said he would never marry a woman that was not upright. A child was born to her on the 8th of August, 1871, but it died a few months 0. een attempt was made on the cross-examination of the plaintiff, and during the testimony of other witnesses examined on her behalf, to show that she was not previously chaste, but the effort failed.
