Received in the Catholic Convent at Peekskill. PEEKSKILL, Jan. 30, 1873, A very interesting event to the Catholic com- munity of this town took place here yesterday in ‘the reception of four young ladies into the order of Ahe Missionary Sisters of St. Francis. The ceremonies at St. Francis’ church were wit- nhessed by a large and attentive congregation. The names of the young ladies who were received into the order were:4Miss Annie Ryan, Sister M. Philomena; Miss Mathilda Isler, sister M. Salesia; ‘Miss Mary Doherty, Sister M. Veronica; Miss Annie Casey, Sister M. Philippin: \_ Rev, Mr. Grifin, of Peekskill, officiated, and preached an eloquent and impressive sermon. He was assisted by Rev. Dr. McSweeney, of Pough- keepsie; Rev. M.

Antonia, of New York city, formerly Miss Margaret Dobbins; Sister M. Ignatius, of Albany, Tormerly Miss Mary Waracheid; Mister M. Gabriel, of New York city, sormerly Lizzie Grant; Sis- ter M. Stanislaus, of Peekskill, N. ¥., formerly Miss Jenny O'Brien; Sister M. Cecelia, of Rochesier, N. , formerly Miss Margaret Reed; Sister M. Ann, of Rondout, N. Y., formerly Miss Elizabeth Gara- ythy. Xbont seven years ago this convent establish- ‘ment was started by three Sisters from the mother house in Italy, At the end of three years the number multiplied to thirteen. The close con- Dnement of the school, the smali and low apart- ments of the little convent—which was half occu- pted ‘with children—soon impaired the health of the Sisters. Seeing this, and also the necessity of a@ place of retreat for the young members, the Mother Superior ventured to purchase, bk 1868, the present appropriate Home at Peekskill. Depending on Providence alone, poor and desti- ‘ute of junds, they contracted the heavy debt of ‘$30,000. In May of the same year they opened an ‘academy in this building, rt of the debt has Deen remitted and they are now anxiously devis- Ang means to erect a building of charity.

The Warren avenue church have changed their second service from the afternoon to the evening. This is considered quite an innovation in the East. In exceptional cases, however, it seems to be popu- lar. At the first experiment the Rev, Mr. Pente- cost had a very large congregation. The late New York State Baptist Missionary Vonvention, held in Rochester, N. Y., sty ro & resolution calling upon the Baptists of this State tor $100,000 a year for home and State evangelization. v. Henry E. Robins, on behalf of the Board, reiterates the call. More than fifty missionaries have been em- ployed by the society during the past year, distributed throughout the State in city and coun- ty. The Baptist Home Mission Board reports that its receipts for the current. year to date are larger than they were at this time last year, while the liabillties are smaller; so that the treasury will bein a good condition at the close of the year.

Thirteen years ro the parish suffered a similar loss, Its record runs back tothe year 1727, when it was founded by the Society for the Pro tion of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The Rev. Reginald H. Howe is the present rector. The Bishop of Albany, in his ad- dress before the convention that recently met in Troy, warned the clergy against two evils—rhetori- cal theology and sentimental ritualism; they should not indulge in too imaginative discourses on the mysteries of revelation. Rhetorical theology 1s to be despised. Sentimental ritualism, the Bishop de- clared, is the ritual of fools. It betrays itself in ex- tensive and ungainly postures and artificial fowers and multiplication of candlesticks. At the same Convention the claim which the diocese of vee iat Pas against that of New York for @ proper division of the Episcopal fund was discussed, and resolutions were introduced ap- pointing a committee to | aarp against this dio- cese for the recovery of the moiety of that fund claimed by the Albanians. These resolutions, how- ever, were not carried. It was stated that New York is ready to pay $1,400, which had been corn- tributed for the endowment of the diocese of Al- bany. But this offer was indignantly spurned by the Albanians, who directed their treasurer not to accept that sum, with interest, and declaring as a reason for this course that the convention had too much respect for the honor of the maternal dio- cese to accept that sum as the full pecuniary value of the reiterated pledges of that convention, of moral and equitable rights, estimated by themselves as amounting to between thirty and forty thou- sand dollars, METHODIST. ‘The College of Bishops of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church will meet at Nashville, Tenn., on the first Wednesday in May, 1873.

Egyptian Dark and Jewish Igno- rance—Dr. Vidaver Deprecating the Dissensions Among Israclites—A Prayer for the Unity of Jews and Gentiles in the Worship of the One True God. The Rev. Dr, Vidaver, rabbi of the Congregation BnatJeshurun, has been very ill during the last two weeks and wholly unable topreach. Yesterday, however, he was much better and occupied his pulpit, The congregation was larger than usual, and the topic discoursed upon was the religious ignorance and differences among Israelites, orthodox and reformed. The Doctor’s text was taken from the chapter that had been read in the course—namely, Exodus x., 22, 23—*‘And Moses spread forth his hands over all the land of Egypt, and there was thick Garkness for three days, so that the people could not see one another, But in all the dwellings of the Israelites there was light.” The Doctor contrasted the feelings of a blind man who first looks out upon the light and beauty of this world with what must have been the feelings of the Egyptians when thick darkness covered their land and their homes so that they could not see one another for three days. Such darkness spiritually prevails now over Israel, and we have need to pray, as David did, ‘Open thou mine eyes that I may BEHOLD WONDROUS THINGS out of the law.’ If Israel would know the path of rectitude which is revealed, and would say one to another, ‘Come, and let us fall down and worship tue Lord our God,” and would so walk and so wor- ship there would soon be no need for every man to say to his brother, “Know the Lord,” for all would know Him, from the least even to greatest, and every man would behold and recognize the beauties of Judaism. But, alas! thisis not 80 now. Ignorance, gross darkness ooo in every piace, and every man has his own ideas of Judaism. What does this mean? Is Israel a people of yester- day, that they should have such dissensions among themselves * What some persons call blessings others call curses. What some think is essential others declare to be unessential and worthless, There is but one answer to this in the Scriptures— My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” the Lord says. In our own midst no man sees in his fellow man a brother, but there is in the hand and in the heart of every man a sword wherewith to slay his fellow man. they meet together to study and find out the truth it caunot be said of them, “Behold, how good and how pleasant a thing it is for brethren wo dwell together in unity.” We can’t deny that the condition and outlook of Judaism to-day is not very felicicitous. and itis entirely due to ignorance. One party, in their zeal to destroy whatever is Old, as if it were obso- lete, are intent upon pulling down the whole fab- ric of Judaism, while the other party cling to everything that is old with a tenacity worthy of a better cause, and for no beter reason than because priateness. &@s gross as Was that of Egyp most need. Both parties are groping in darkn Light is what they Where shall we get it? THE LAW IS LIGHT, says the Scriptures. Thatis what the people want. The Doctor then briefly referred to the giving of the law on Sinai, and the light and truth which from that day to the present has illumined and sancti- fled the world, The man who does not believe in this law does not po: this light, but walks in darkness. We are admonished to seek the lignt,to: ercise the powers of reason which God has given u: much as we can. It may do for some other denom- inations to make saints of the most ignorant men and women—as, for instance, the Roman Catholic Church—but it won't do for Israel to be or to re- main ignorant. And because of this ignorance we see one party in Israel now clinging tena- ciously to the old ways and things and the other party. equally tenacious, pushing out after the new. ‘ne One party rushes along into superstition and fanaticism and the other into infidelity. But this need not be so, Israel has received that light which can penetrate the thick darkness that sur- rounds the spiritual community, They hi light in all their dwellings, But is there n MIDDLE WAY OUT OF THIS MAZE ? Where is the man so spiritual who has no need of ceremonials, however simple? Or is there no use or beauty in things that are venerable with age? Is the sun in the firmament less useful and beaute- ous to-day than it was 6,000 years ago? Certain): not. Ifyou would find the middie way in whic the light of God forever shines, and where the lion's whelp cannot come, you must read this book— the Bible, Here you will find the middle road, where reason and faith go hand in hand, Take it, and it will yield peace and blessings in all your dwellings, It will shine into your hearts, and, with the gift of God’s truth in your souls, you shall have bet in all your habitations, the Doctor closed with an earnest prayer for union, not alone among dissenting Israelites but also enone ve ne Gentiles, and when all shall come to worship the one living and true God in the unity of the faith, "i THE COURTS. THE CASE OF STOKES: Arguments Upon the Bill of Exceptions and Motion for a New Trial. THE BROADWAY WIDENING SCHEME. The Case Brought in the Circuit Court---Action to Recover $40,000 from the Corporation. STOLEN BONDS SUIT. Alleged Robbery of Poughkeepsie City Bonds. THE LOTTERY LAWS. Interesting Opinion by Re- corder Hackett. The long suit, extending over a period of ten years, between the Madison avenue Baptist church and the Oliver street Baptist church, the facts of which have been repeatedly published in the HERALD, was yesterday decided in favor of the defendants by Judge Sedgwick, of the Superior Court. Incor- porated in the decision was an order directing an accounting before a referee to ascertain the in- debtedness of the plaintif—s to the defendants, A sult was conciuded yesterday before Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Circuit, involv- ing the question of the ownership of $5,000 worth of Poughkeepsie city bonds stolen some two years ago from the safe of the Dutchess County Mutual Insurance Company. The bonds since that time have been in the possession of the police property clerk of thiscity. The suit was brought against this property cierk and firm of brokers coming honestly into their possession. A verdict was ren- dered in favor of the insurance company and the bonds directed to be restored to them. The case of Daniel Garrison, a citizen of New Jersey, who seeks to recover 000 from the Cor- poration of this city under an award made to him for portions of his property taken by the municipal authorities for the widening and improvement of Broadway, was up yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman, on argument on demurrer. The argument having closed, Judge Shipman took the papers and reserved his deci- sion. In the United States Court yesterday, before Commissioner Betts, Leander Fox and Byron Fox, who keep @ publication office in Canal street, were further examined upon a charge of sending obscene publications through the mails, Counsel for de- fendants called witnesses to prove that the publica- tions in question were not obscene, but were medical and scientific works sold by booksellers in the city. Evidence was also given that the accused are persons of good character. The examination ‘was adjourned. id STOKES AGAIN. Inthe Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday morning, which was crowded to excess on account of the two interesting matters coming on for adju- dication, Judge Boardman having taken nis place on the bench, the application of counsel on a bill of exceptions was taken up. Mr. Tremain said this was the day for the settle- ment of the bill of exceptions in the Stokes case. There was also returnable an order to the District Attorney to show cause why there should not be a stay of proceedings and writ of error. On Monday they had made affidavit stating that the bill of ex- ceptions contained a correct statement of the evi- dence, and moved upon the bill of excep- tions and their affidavits for an order to skow cause, which was granted. Both motions were now to be disposed of, and it was considered prudent to have them disposed of to-day, this being the last day of the term. When the exceptions are settled, counsel would apply for a stay of proceed- ings, that application for a new trial might be made to the General Term. OBJECTION BY THE PROSECUTION, Mr. Beach said there were exceptions in the bill to pues ot His Honor against objections to evi- dence. There was no serious. opposition to this class. But the prosecution did object to the ex- ception in regard to an alleged absence of the ner from Court while testimony was being en, and to any exceptions to His Honor’s charge not made in presence of His Honor and the prose- wpe Melee Assistant District Attorney Fellows and Mr. Beach, for the people, and Mr. Tremain and Mr. Dos Passos, for Stokes, stood at either side of the Judge while the bill was being examined, The prosecution strongly objected to the state- ment about Stokes being absent while testimony Was received, as not ben 3 supported by evidence. Alengthy argument took place on the matter, which had not terminated when the Court tooka Tecess at one o’clock. After recess Mr. Trematn said the question was ‘whether the statement as te the circumstance of the prisoner’s absence during @ portion of the trial, and that as to the absence of the judge daring a portion of Mr. Beach’s summing up, should be retained in the bill. It was not stated i the bill as an exception, but simply asa fact. The defence desired to have both of these facts incorporated in the bill, that the effect of them (if true), might be passed upon by the ap- pellate courts, They have made a motion for a new trial, on several grounds, among them these alleged irregularities, and as no appeal on these questions from a decision of the Oyer and Terminer is allowed, if the points were of benefit to the prisoner in the prosecution of the writ of error it ought to incorporated in the bill, to give them the benefit of an objection which ‘was then understood to be serious and material, and was noted down at the time, and deliberately kept from the knowledge of the Court and prose- cuting counsel, Mr. Tremain explained that the counsel were not aware of the absence of the prisoner until he had been out. Then the counsel had no agency in the act and were not bound to aid the District Attor- ney in hanging the prisoner. They would fail in their duty to the unfortunate prisoner if they did not present the matter. Judge Boardman excluded the testimony of the @leged irregularities trom the bill as extraneous matter, but allowed them to be brought in by affl- SS His Honor then signed the bill of excep- ons. MOVING FOR A NEW TRIAL, The motion for a new trial was then commenced, it bee arranged that affidavits on each side would be read, after which the matter would be adjourned, Ir. Dos Passos proceeded to read a number of affidavits regarding points—which have heretofore been alluded to—in relation to the jury's visit to the pistol gailery in the Grand Central Hotel. At their conclusion Mr. Beach read a number of counter-aMdavits. When he had finished an order was entered permitting further argument to be resumed on Monday. The Court then adjourned. THE BROADWAY WIDENING SCHEME. The Award to Mr. Garrison for $40,000— The Case in the United States Courts, The case in relation to the Broadway widening scheme came up yesterday in tne Uniied States Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman. Mr. Daniel Garrison, @ resident of the State of New Jersey, obtained an award against the Corpora- of New York for property taken from when the city authorities were carrying effect certain improvements in connec- tion with the Wiest | of Broadway. The amount of that award was $40,000, The ee at of this case were fully reported in the BRALD When it was presented to Judge Woodrut it Novernber. Judge Woodruff on that occasion, inding there was reason why he should not dispose of the matter, owing to his being interested in the assessment for the improvement in question, re- ferred the case to Judge Shipman. The Commissioners of Batimate ena ey appointe y Judge Cardozo, whose re} confirmed on the sth of December, 1870, awarded to Daniel Garrison $40,000, as dam- ages for the taking of & part of his estate for the widening and straightening of Bread- vays Zhe Legislature on act in Febru ary foll authorizing an pyetcesen to be fade to the Court to set aside all proceedings, including this award, which was subsequently done, and new Commissioners were appointed. Mr, Drought” sult “against the city, claiming fat the Le jul e city, i ngs in which the award was made to him were final and conclusive upon the Corporation, and vested in the in fee the litle to the premises taken and the right to the payment of the gum awarded. The city set up the defence that the order of confirmation of the report of the Com- missioners was illegal, and the awards unfair and unjust, and were set aside under the act of the Legis- lature, and new awards mide by the Commis- sioners subsequently Sppointed, ‘To all this the plaintiff entered a demurrer, and yeste! the case came before the Court on argu- ment of the demurrer. Mr. T. Curtis and Mr. John C. Shaw claimed on the Of the plaintif that the act of Februa- HA 1871, was void, use it impaired the obliga- tion of contracts within the meaning of the consti- tution of the United States, the title to the prem- ises havi reviously become vested in the olty and the t to, bring am action for the award vested in the plaiftiff: also that it was unconstitu- tional, in that it divested a vested right contrary to the law of the land, and took away property with- or Cr aia of law, against the constitution of Mr, Curtis, in a lengthened and elaborate argu- ment went os fy) hy that the singular actiuw of the Legislats the city authorities in at- tempting to fet Tid of & just contract, could not be maintained in sny court in which federal law was maintamed. The act of February, 1871, created, or tried to create, a right of appeal from the Special to the General Term of the Supreme Court. ‘Ihat showed that the right of appeal did not exist before, and it was also a violation of the ublic policy laid down in the consittution, The 3 clal ‘Term was the Court to which the act of 1869 directed that the award should be referred for confirmation. He contended, on the whole case, that no right of appeal existed tr the Special to the General Te The act of 1869 strongly militated against the idea of there being an appeal from the Specia) to the General Term. The report says the act shall come before the Court for confirmation complete; that the commissioners shall have discharged all their duties and functions; that they shall, to the utmost of their ability, make a correct report, and then, fore contirmation, Renorarng to the act of 1813 and the construction given to it the Court of Appeals, the Court shallcommit the same report to the same commissioners for revision. Whether the right of appeal existed or not, it wasnot the mode resorted to in the present case. The pro- ceeding was by way of motion, set up in the plea; and if that plea was true the contract was violated, and the vested right that belonged to it was an- nulled. The Court of Appeals, in the proceeding which came before them in the appeal of Mr, De Peister, in the opinion of Judge Peckham, affirmed the [tn inherent power of the Special Term ot the Supreme Court to entertain a motion to set aside the original order of the confirmation. They said expressly that they did not put it on the ground titat they were authorized to do it by statute, but upon the ground that they were authorized to do it by the general powers of the Court, by overlooking the iact of the record before them, that the order of confirmation was annulled and set aside, not by the exercise of the inherent power of the Court, not by the exercise of the power confirmed by the statute, but by the special motion provided by the statute, The right of the State must be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, which secured to the-oltizen compensation for preperty takep from him. In all our systems of legislation which provided for the taking of pri- vate property for public use it was usual to make ap ascertaiment of the damages in the same pro- ceeding by which a citizen is to be divested o/ his property when it is to be vested in a public or pri- vate corporation; and in making that provision for the exercise of that constitutional right in this city the Legislature, by the act of 1813 had been very careful that those two things should go together, the right to the !and taken away vested 1n the State and the right chat the da res found shall vest in the citizen eo instante. What the laintif held was asubstitute for hisland, an award lor damages made under a constitution! provision and placed 1n lieu ofhis land. That award, therefore, ‘was property, in the highest sense in which prop- erty could exist, based on the execution of the great right of eminent domain, based on his right, secured by the constitution, to have a substitute provided ace of that ownership of the soil of which he is divested. He could not be deprived of that property or award save Soggrding to the law of the land and by due process of law. He (Mr. Cur- tis) contended, without tear of contradiction, that it Was not according to the law of the land or ac- cording to due process of law to provide that a man’s property should be taken away from him by notice to his attorney and by publication of @ notice in pewsnaners of a motion to annul which — contains the very charter o! his rights; that was the award made under the statute te gad It might as well be contended that if the Legislature were to pass an act destroying the registry of deeds and ordering every record there to be burned up, that deprived persons of their titles and threw them back to the original owners. They could not de- stroy the muniments of property. They could not destroy property, nor could they take it away, whatever it consisted of, save b; some Peceening at common law which deprive him of it by trial, or else by some provision for a review, or revision, or retrial of his right, what- ever it might be, under circumstances which were notices to him personally, he having @ right to some remedy which was not given in this case, Mz. A. J. Vanderpoel replied to the argument of Mr. Curtiss. He contended that the Courts had held that no vested right couid be held in fraud or wrong. Broadway widening was a fraudu- lent proceeding, carried on in utter violation of the rules of law. The award was made after notice had been published and after the papers had been filed in the Street Department. Notice was given to all parties to calland examine them within a certain number of days after that time. The awards were increased in favor of some parties, That was done toa large amount when the city authorities Were ignorant of any Srna: of that kind. Mr. Vanderpoel claimed that the acts of the first Com- missioners were irregular and fraudulent. That even if the order of confirmation was final and conclusive the act of February, 1871, had only pro- vided a Rew remedy against a wrong, which might be done even in the case of judgments without im- pairing the obligation of the contract. The Court reserved its decision. STOLEN POUGHKEEPSIE BONDS. The Police Property Clerk Has Posses- sion of Them Over Two Years—Suit for Their Ownership—Two Verdicts, In- cluding: One of Six Cents Damages, Against the Property Clerk for Deten- tion, Something over two years ago some adroit bur- glars made araid on the coffers of the Dutchess County Mutual Insurance Company, whose office is in Poughkeepsie, and among other property stolen were $5,000 in Poughkeepsie city bonds, It was supposed that at least three persons were engaged in the burglary, but the police only succeeded in getting on the track of one, who was arrested in this city and _ taken before Police Justice Dodge. Upon a prelimina: investigation into the case Messrs. A, Hatchfield Co., brokers, produced the stolen bonds. They claimed that’ they came into thelr possession in the ordinary course of their business, and that they paid full value for them. At the close of the investigation jthe Dutchess County Mutual In- surance Company people insisted on the bonds being restored to them, claiming them as their property. Messrs. Hatchfieid & Co, were as per- sistent in retaining possession of them. To get out of the Pen eerre e Judge delivered them over to the Police Property Clerk, Mr. J. N. Bouck. This disposition of the bonds left no vother recourse but bringing a suit by the insurance company against the brokers and the Property Clerk. The suit came to trial several days since before yudge Van Brunt, holding Su- reme Court, Circuit, The testimony showed that essrs. Hatchfeld & Co. bought the bonds of a man named Kinderlip, the party arrested and brought before Judge Dodge, but who, by the way, though indicted for the burglary, has never been brought to trial. The jury rendered a verdict against the brokerage firm for $6,050, the full value of the bonds with interest, An additional verdict was directed by the Judge against the Property Clerk, directing him to return the bonds to the in- surance company, or, in default of this, $6,050, and also six cents damages for detention. CONTESTING BAPTIST CHURCHES. The Long-Protracted Suit Betw: the Madison Avenue Baptist Church 2: a the Oliver Street Baptist Charch—De- cision in Favor of the Latte: During the long controversy that has been pro- gressing for the last ten years in the Courts be- tween the Madison avenue Baptist church and the Baptist church in Oliver street the facts have been too often given to require repetition in extenso, Briefly told, the alleged facts are that the Madison avenue Baptist church folks, finding themselves embarrassed with a@ serious debt incidental to building their large and expensive church at the corner of Madison avenue and Thirty-first street, induced the Oliver street Baptist congregation to sell out their church property, including not only their church edifice at the corner of Oliver and Henry street, but the old church corner of Wooster and Amity streets, now occupied by A. T. Stewart asa stable, considerable leasehold property, and join them, the two becoming merged in one ‘cnurch, and continuing the name of the former as their church designation. After this unity of the two churches, the Oliver street people having, as they claimed, advanced some $80,000 toward pay- ing the debts of the other church, a spirit of dis affection arose, and the Madison avenue church folks brought @ suit of ejectment against the Oliver street church folks, This suit was brought to trial in July, 1863, in the Superior jourt, be- fore Judge Jones, and resuited in a verdict im favor” of the defendants. This judgment cITY from which an appeal was taken, was affirmed botu at Special and General Term, “The case was then carried to the Court of Appeals anda new trial ordered. The last trial was before Judge Be ick. A decision was rendered yesterday by the latter Judge in favor of the defendants. ‘The decision also requires a reierence to take an ac- foo pialatige to ‘the defendants Pag gti has Than, arter ten years’ i a ime brought toaciose. Meantime, tnough 6 the courts on work days, the ‘ee on Len td have met in amicable worship-on 3: at the Madison avenue church. THE LONTERY LAWS. ; Interesting Opinion of Recorder Hackett Upon the Lottery Laws—He Denies a Motion to @ Alleged Violation of That Law. Yesterday the Recorder filed the subjoined deci sion with the Clerk of the General Sessions:— The People vs. Morris Harris and George Woods—Indictment for violating lottery laws,— A motion in December term, last, was argued before me to quash tuis indictment, which is drawn upon ap offence entirely created by Statute. The precise words of the statutory definition are comprehenued in the indictment. The ¢riti- cisms of the defence upon the indictment undoubt- edly arise from the obscure plraseology and ia- voived sentences contuined in that pleat itis not only inartificiaily drawn, but there appears in it coniusing displacements of subjects and predi- cates; ‘“wherem” is spelled without an ‘h;'* “statute” is written in one count “statue,” and “peace,” in the phrase, “against the peace of the people,” &c., i8 written “piece.” The word ‘game’ 13 interlined over the word “device,” with only @ pencil line drawn through the latter word. An important gorrenny preposition is in- terlined. The words “wilfully and maliciously” are omitted throughout. The first count grammatically construed would read that purchasers of tickets made the false representation as to the kind ef lottery used, instead of making the word ‘tiem’? Te) wu it mi be fer to defendants, a urged by the rosecution to what F have stated and the defence as” to y what I shall hereatter say, that I have started” points not mooted upon the argument; but mo- tions to quash are gudressed strictly to the dis- cretion of @ Judge; aud Bishop lays it down a Criminal Procedure, S. 758, 759) that a Judge may consider the question of quashing an indictment upon his own motion, The counsel for the deiend- ants has made a strong prima facie case and an exceedingly exhaustive argument ayainst tue indictment; but the question of its -validit is not tree from doubt, and I prefer leave the defendants to raise their issues by objec- tions to evidence upon the trialas not warranted (il they shali then so 1egard any offered testimony), by the manner of charging ‘acts in the indictinent. ‘bwo general propositions of law are involved im this discussion. First—An indictment should not be quashed in a doubtfulcase (People vs. Eckiord, 7th Cowen, 645; Commonwealth vs, Kastmaa, 1 Oushing, K., 189). Second—It should be quashed whenever it is maniltest that no judgment can be rendered upon it (state vs. Robinson, 9 Foster, N. H. K., 274), Ipropose, therefore, to consider this motion as if it was one in arrest ol judgment alter sentence pro- nounced and the defendants were contending that the indictment was iusuticient to support judg- ment. ‘I'he only defect aileged is that the cl fo ing parts of the pleading are not explicit eno h and do not suiliciently charge an offence or the supposed oifence, or imiorm the detendants lly of what the prosecution seek and intend to prove. I think the indictment would support @ verdict that the deiendants within this State had set on foot, diu carry on aud did promote (pus @ device of chance such as is set out in the indictment, and ier the unlaw- ful purposes therein. mentioned, without au- thorizatién by any special law for any such peers in ‘offences created by statute it is laid down by Bishop in the treatise above cited at section 611:—“Where the offence jg purely statutory, having no relation to the common law” (where, in other words, the statute specifl- cally sets ‘out what acts shall constitute the Offence), ‘it is, as a general rule, sufficient in the indictment to charge the deiendant with acts comii fully within the statutory description in the substantial words of the statute, without any further expansion of the matter.’ It is always best for the pleader in a case of presenting novel subject matter to expand it, and to do so with pre- cision and with as much attention to grammatical construction as if he were writing ior a newspaper or periodical. The day for mere jargon in pleading has gone by. Itis but fair toward a defendant to give him all the information the pleader can , the scope of the charge, and regarding the p 1e evidence there may be against him, and it is certainly but just towards the Court to save its time from all possible qyestions upon the construc- tion of indictments. mid all the obscurity im phraseology and verbal confusion of this indict- ment, however, I detect the alleged offence gener- ally (but most general in the terms) charged in the identical words of the statute against setting on foot devices of chance for money. Aside irom pursuing the language of the statute there is enough to charge deieudants with a con- nection with vending to others an interest in money, the division whereof is contingent upon chance, which is as concise a definition of the par- ticular lottery in question as [ can make, and such an act is infraction of law.
