The prosecution relied upon the testimony of William F. Brown, an ex-Justice 0! the Peace, to show that Mrs. Mullins never acknowledged the mortgage in his presence, but when Brown entered the witness box he swore that she did. Assistant District Attorney Russell Was consequently compelled to abandon the case, In the Court of General Sessions, Part 2, two Italians, named Dejano and Savari, were convicted of assauit, with violence, The former, the princt- pal in the assault, was sentenced to five years in Sing Sing. The latter, being merely a looker-on in Venice, was let off witn one year’s imprisonment, The civil suits against Willlam M, Tweed and James L. Ingersoll still live, The latter suit was called on for trial yesterday ~ before Judge Van Brunt, sitting in Supreme Court, Special Term; but, for the .convenience of counsel, Was postponed till the first Monday of next month. Before the same Judge was also called up for argument the demurrer in the suit of the Mayor against Tweed; but here counsel asked lkewise for time, -and the case was adjourned till mext Monday. Meantime Judge Barrett, in the Supreme Court, Circuit, gave his decision yester- day, which will be found elséwhere, upon the ap- piication to set aside a day for the trial of the civil suit against Tweed. The hearing of the case of George W. Bowen vs. Nelson Chase was resumed yesterd@y in the United ~States Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman and the special jury, Mr. Chatfleid commenced his summing up on behalf ofthe plaintiff, and had not concluded at the rising of the Court. He will re- sume his argument to-day. That branch of the Superior Court presided over by Judge Van Vorst adjourned yesterday as a . tribute of respect to the late Robert Emmet, at one time a Justice of this Court. »Severai speeches eulogistic of the deceased followed, by various counsel, upon the motion for adjournment. THE POOL ROOM TRAGEDY, | Second Dr, oq Vestiisny sa" the Scannell- De.ohoe Murder Trial—The Theory of Defence Looming Up—Another Mystic Pistol—Captain McElvain’s Chase and Capture—Searching the Body. The seventh day’s proceedings in the Scannell murder trial, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, beforg Judge Brady, attracted a large crowd of spectators and the developments were quite inter- esting and important. Scannell appeared about the same as on the preceding day, a little moody and indifferent. His wife und sister were present aud several ladies not connected with the case, but having a penchant for nies! trials, were also among the audienté, {a “seats within the bar enclosure, sherii Brennan, Detective Farley, Captain Burden, “Bil'y” Moloney and a number of other well-known gentlemen were present at various times during the day. THE PROSECUTION resumed the proceedings by examining Mr. T. W. Decker, @ milk dealer, of No. 311 East Thirty-second street, who corroborated the witnesses examined on Monday as to the shooting of Donohoe by Scannell. JOHN NESBITT, of No. 467 Second avenue (who was in Donohoe’s company the greater part of the evening on which the latter was shot), was called and testified:—I went with Donohoe to Johnson's pool room on the evening of the shooting; immediately before the shooting I was talking in the back part of the saloon with a gentleman; Donohoe came to me and said, “Let us go out and go next door;” he then walked towards the door; I followed bim, and was going towarus the door when I heard the first shot; Donohoe and I met at the Blossom Club, and went from there to Johnson’s pool room; I | saw Scannell standing up at the rear end of the bar; I went into a little anteroom and did not see him until after the shooting; did not know who was with Scannell; after the first shot he looked towards the entrance and saw Scannell standing at the foot of the stairs, with his left foot on the first step leading up and his right on the platform; 1saw Donohoe lying on the ground; the pistol in Scannell’s hand was ten or twelve inches long; he was standing nearest the Sixth avenue side of the door; saw him fire three or four shots at Donohoe, who was lying on the floor beneath him. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Beach as to the positions of Scannell and Donohoe at the time of the shooting, and asked to point them out on, a diagram of the saloon and entrance; he could not positively swear whether or not any part of Donohoe’s body Jay across the line of the inside door, DR. MARSH, DEPUTY CORONER, testified to making # post-mortem examination of the body of Donohoe ; he found the skull broken tn, the brain lacerated, a bullet hole at the side of the nose, one at the back of the head and one inthe side of the head; the-ball that entered at the nose came out at the side of tne head; he found two bul- lets in the head; any of the wounds in the head would canse death; he found a circular bullet wound in the arm; he also found an old wound in the left preass, with a bullet located between the ibs (this Was where he was shot by Scannell in js71) ; the wound in the arm could have been re- chived While Donohoe was lying, THOMAS CANARY, livery stable keeper, of Nw, 22 Chariton street, testi- fied that he was at the place at tne time of the shooting; heard the firing, but did not Kee the shots or Whe fired teem; was talking with ' Jim’? | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1873--TRIPLE SHEET, Barclay and Sheridan Shook at the oyster bar at the time, He was questioned by Mr, Beach as to the rela- tions of aifection which existed between the pesoney and his brother Florence. He had known ES and Florence Scannell for eighteen years. ir. alive ? District Attorney Phelps objected, om the ground that the witness could only be cross-examined in matters which were brought outin direct examina- tron, “att. Beach insisted on his right to ask the ques- tion. Judge Brady said he presumed the question was in anticipation of the deience. It was not settled as to whether the proposed line of examination should be regarded as a direct or cross-examina- jon. Witness stated that he had always noticeda great affection between the brothers Jdlin and Florence Scanneli; they were almost always to- gether; no matter where he met one the other was with or near him; they seemed to have an extraordinary aifection for each other, Mr. Beach—Did you notice any change in the risoner after the death of his brother? A. Yes; he became incoherent in his conversation and talked incessantly; his eyes assumed a wild ex- pression, and be grew lighier in his physique. The witness stated to the District Attorney that Scannell at one time kept a hotel on the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-fourth street, and that he kept it up to the time of the shooting; his wife ~{ Manages It now; witness had been in there several times ~~ JAMES CASSIN, of No. 46 East Sixteenth street, was called and testified that he was in the saloon at the time of the killing; Ay was the first man who approached the body 6f Donohoe and discovered that he Was dead; he saw Scannell fire the first shot at Dono- hoe and saw the latter falling; he cried, ‘aly God, you'll kill him 1? addressing the: man (Scannell) Who was firing from the entrance; the crowd rushed out of the saloon, trampling over the body of Donohoe ; the body was turned over on the back, and some person called out what he thought was, “it is Thm Donovan!” knew ac alaiange gf that name was in the room and lookéd around fof him; he was then jostled back from the dead body and saw is no mores re Lrg first notlned the + PAD.

Cross-examined—The party of four or five had passed maybe fiteen or twenty feet before Scan- nell came up the steps; I could not see Scannell to know him as he came up, but I watched the man who came up; he ran up the steps; I say he ran because he came up the steps very fast; then he ran easterly quite fast till near Twenty-ninth street; 1 crossed d'wenty-eighth street aiter crossing Broadway; 1 asked him, “What is the matter?’ and he turned eon) a and repeated my question; I did not then notice his complexion; we then passed on to Broadway and Twenty-ninth street; he made no reply when J said, “You qre a pretiy fellow -to do such a thing ag this; théré was bertect silence between us then until we reached broadway, and he then said, “Come and have adrink; 1 don’t know of any place to get a drink nearer to that place than the pool room; he Said he wanted a drink, and I said, “What is the matter with you?

(Mr. Beach at this time was fitting the pistol into the bolster aud examining it closely.) Wituess continued—I did not notice whether Donoiwe had on an overcoat; I did not show a pistul to Scannell, said to have been taken from Donohoe's body; 1 think I saw a pistol on the sta- tion house desk, said to have been taken from Donohoe’s body. (Sensation.) Redirect—On the way to the station house avery excited crowd followed us, some with drawn re- volvyers and crying, “Shoot him!’ ‘Kill him!’ “Hang him up to the lamp post!” “Pat him on the tree!” and so forth; the crowd was partly drawn olf on the way to the station house by something that attracted them up Sixth avenue; my atten- tion was attracted to the pool room door before the prisoner came up the steps by the mufMicd sound of the shots. POLICE OFFICER MARTIN MOLONEY, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, Was sworn next and testified :—I remember the night of the shooting, | but did not see the affray; 1 was on post on Thir- ticth street; I was directed to search for a pistol | in the streets already descrived as being the route of the prisoner's fight; I iound a pistol under the stoop of No. 260 Fifth avenue; it was on the first step’ of the basement flight under the high stoop; the entrance under the steps is toward Twenty-eigiith street; the pistol was lying on the middle of the steps and I carried it to the station house ; this is the ptstol Lfound.

The civil suits instituted against the leaders o1 the “Ring” régime to recover the millions of money which they are accused of having wrongfully taken: from the city treasury still have a legal existence, afid this existence will continue as long as the present well-feed lawyers—and this applies to the prosecution as well as the defence—continue to live, move and have a being, or others can be sub- stituted in their places, But they drag their slow lengths along very slowly. After an interregnum of masterly inactivity tie suits against Tweed and Ingersoll Came again yesterday before the Courts, ‘two smpottant phases of these sults presented themseives, =~ c= haan TWEED'S DEMURRER, First in order, the demurrer in the suit of the Mayor vs. Tweed was called He for argument be- fore Judge Van Brunt, holding Sapreme Court, General Term. Mr. Peckham, on behalf of the Mayor, said he was not prepared to enter upon the argument and asked for a postponement till next Monday. Asthe opposing counsel asquiesced in the application, the same was granted. This de- murrer, it will be remembered, is as to the legality of the present suit in view of asimilar suit, based substantially upon the same charges, instabuted by the Board of Supervisors against Tweed, ~ THE SUIT AGAINST INGERSOLL. Immediately following the above disposal 51 of Tweed’s case the suit ugainst Ingersoll was called, Here Mr. Peckham also pressed an ad- journment, stating that Charlies O’Conor, his asso- ciate counsel, wasthen engaged in the Jumel guit and wag galls to appear until the conclusion of that trial. This caseé- was accordingly postponed till the tirst Monday in March. by ISSUES OF FACT IN BOTH SUITS. Judge Barrett, sitting in Supreme ore Circuit, yesterday rendered his decision upon the applica- tion to set down a day Jor the trial of the civil suit against Tweed. ‘This application, as will be recol- lected, was opposed on the ground that no issue of fact has yet joined as to Ingersoll. The following is JUDGE BARRETT’S DECISION, There can be but one jury trial of the issues of tin a cause unless the Court, under section 258, order a separate trial. If such a separate: trial be ordered an appropriate judgment under seotiOn 274 can be granted. To proceed with the trial now demanded would be irregular, until itis ordered as @ separate trial. Such separate trial can only be ordered by an application to the Court at Special ‘Term, Chambers, upon such good cause shown as will justify the conclusion that justice will thereby be promoted (sec. 258), The case must therefore be reserved generally to be brought in with its roper preference upon an issue of fact being joined as to Ingersoll, or upon a separate trial as to Tweed being allowed by tle Couyt on motion, THE JUMEL ESTATE CASE. The Suit of Bowen vs. Chase—Summing Up of Mr. Chatfield tor the Plaintiff— His Argument To Be Continued To- Day—The Case Nearly at a Cloge. The hearing of the case of George W. Bowen vs. Nelson Chase was resumed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Shipman and the special jury. Bi Mr. Chatfieg, Mr. Chauncey Shaffer and Mr. Saw- yer appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Charles O’Conor and Mr. J.C, Carter for thp de- fendant. * SUMMING UP OF MR. CHATFIELD FOR THE PLAINTIFF. Mr. Chatfield opened his address with a long ref- erence to the history of trial by jury. He con- tended that the Court had no more to do with the facts than the jury had with the law. The Court should stick to the province of the Court. He asked the jury to find a verdict according to the evidence. If that was not designed by this mode of trial of what use wasajury? They were bound on their oaths to find a vefdict according to the evi- dence, and not according to the charge of the Court—not according to any extraneous influences, He did not mean any disrespect to the Court; tor he regarded an independent judiciary as the last hope of the country. He found that to be the case in all countries in struggles for liberty; and in the present day, when there was a widespread lep- rosy of public corruption and disregard of official obligation, an independent judiciary was the last nope of public liberty. Counsel went on to say that this case had been at trial for eleven weeks and he was sure the jury would be glad to get rid of the Jumel suit. Mr. Chatfleld referred to an expression of Mr. O'’Conor in reference to the witnesses for the atiff, om he. termed “a banditti of ais,” but that, sald Mr. Chatteld, was & iancy OY the learned gentleman. Having laid down certain propositions whichshe intended to submit to the consideration of the jury, counsel adverted to the evidence for the plaintiff, Mr. O'Conor had said that Mr. Beach hade left thé case. It was true he had, becauge 1é hdd enteted into matters more in his line. He had also said that if the case Were to be tried again Mr. Hoar would not anpe rinitapd that he (Mr. Chatfield) might be left atoné, @r he conld go to Kilkenny and finda cat. Ifhe went to Kilkenny he might not be able to find a cat, but he might be able to discover a tail, for the cats had emigrated long ago, (Laugh- ter). =m - Adi, Chatfield insisted that after a careful exam- ination of Daniel Hall's testimony it would be seen that he had told the truth, though he (counsel) would admit that the man might have been, owing to his great age and, promenty, failing memory, mis- taken as to dates, jut he had stated accuratel, the general facts to which he testified. Huil ha lived almost the whole of his life in the city of, Providence, and had, therefore, abundant oppor-* tunity of knowing the facts and circumstances which he had been called to prove. Counsel read at considerable length passages from b evidence respecting the family of Daniel Hull. When Hull made this statement ut seeing G. W. Bowen with Betsy Bowen, nobody had approached him. Bowen had not approached him, but he made that statement at the time tue executors were seeking to recover under the will, It was argued against the credibility of Hull that he did not Know when his father and mother died. They both died of the yellow fever, and the children, of whem Daniel was one, were sent to the country to be away irem the sickness, and therefore would not be in the way of knowing the exact circum- stances, Theg could impeach a man by showing that in the community where he lived he was a eneral liar. Bosworth, the country pettifogger, fad been employed to find out persons to impeach Hull’s veracity, but he had not been able to do so, He referred to this matter because Mr. Hoar, his associate, who had been obliged to leave, had told him that he had not done justice to Daniel Hull, 38 to the King lentry book and the entry therein, he said he saw certain points of resemblance between the writing in thaf entry and the eriginal signatures of Reuben Ballou. They Would observe that the ink in that entry was very ; pale, Any one who went to sciool in the early days that he did would remember that ink was made from nutgall or mapie bark—not the ink that was to be found to-day in their banks and counting-houses, And the circumstances under which the entry was made were to be taken into consideration—the birth of @ baby was not an every-day occurrence; and, no doubt, Reuben Ballou was “pretty full” when he made that entry. Counsel asked the Judge to charge certain requests with regard to the King Henry book, and he further asked the Court to charge that no writing, however old, standing by itself, proves itself—that it did not matter where t was found, whether in @ public office or in the possession of @ private individual, the fact of its being ancient did not give it that verity which authorized it to be recéfved in a court of justice without proof, There was not suiticient proof as to these ancient papers with which the entry in tne King Henry book was compared; and there- fore he asked the Court to exciude them as of no value, There was no proof that the signatures of the ancient documents were the signatures of the same person, Reuben Ballou, who had made the entry in the King Henry book’ concerning the birth of G. W. Bowen. There wefe plenty of persons in Providence of the name of Bowen. He would not give up the King Henry because he believed it to be legal evidence and that the entry in it was true, The entry, he argued, should not be rejected even if there was bad spelling in tt, because many men, even some who were highiy accomplished, were in the habit of spelling badly. The King Henry book was @ revolutionary book, setting up the King against Elizabeth, and it was just such a work a8 Major Ballou, who was a sol- dier, would be likely to have near him. He said the simple question was whether George W. Bowen was the sou of Betsy bowen? He maintamed that the evidence produced by the plaintiff proved that fact. Mr. Beckwith deposed that he had seen Betay Bowen in Providence in early life. She was reputed to be the most beautiful woman in | all Rhode Island. Counsel contended that Ketsy y ' bowen was an inmate of the bouse of Movher | Ballon, and that-oveing about to give birth to a child, and there bemg-no lying-in hospital in | Providence, she had to go to that bad house to be confined, no respectabie persons being willing to admit her to their houses. He contended that Mr. O’Conor had no rigut to call the witnesses for the plaintia banditti of liars, But he (Mr. Chatfleld) did not expect that a case of this kind would be carried by denunciation. He denied that Mr. and Mrs. Chase were members of Madame Jumel's family, and when Mr. O’Conor called Mrs, Chase Mary Jumel, that wus a misnomer. Counsel held that Mr. Chase had no title to this estate, either through the Joneses or through the deeds that had been given in evidence. Aiter discussing the bear- ings of the deeds made by Mr. and Madame. Jumel in relation to the property in question, Mr, Chatiield closed his‘remarks for the day after some conver- sation had taken place between himself, Mr. O’Conor and the Court as to the legal effect of the oo t twenty-five minutes to four o’clock Mr. Chat- field said he was suffering from a pain in his side and could not go on with his-argument. ‘The Gourt-then adjourned till this morning, when Mr. Chatfield will resume his address.

Important to Landlords and Tenants— s An Interesting Decision. ‘ Before Judge Joachaimsen, Jacob and Francis Becker vs. Patrick and Michae) Keogh,—This case, which has occupied the Court for the past two days, was tried once betore in 1870, resulting in a verdict in favor of the defendants, but the Generai Term granting a new trial, it came up again on Monday, continuing through yester- day, The action is brought to recover a month's rent of the premises 28 Lamartine place. The premises were purchased in the Fall of 1869 by the plaintifs, and immediately thereaiter rented to the defendants tor the purposes of a dweliing at the yearly rental of $1,700, payable monthly in advance, According to defendants’ evidence they made a deposit Fy $25 to secure the house, but aiterwardsreturfted to the plaintits and informed them that they had heard the house bore a bad name, requesting back their deposit; that this plaintiffs refused, saying that such reports were all “moonshine,” that the house had been occupied by @ respectable widow lady ; that the reports were circulated by some parties who wanted to run down the value of the house, and that they would stand between the defendants of ail harm; that aiterward, at the signing of the lease, a simiar conversation took place between the parties, with the addition that plaintitfs threatened to sue un- Jess defendants took the house as agreed, and that. under these circumstances the lease was executed, ‘The defendants further testify that upon taking possession they found that their fears were justi- lied; that they were disturbed nights by parties driving up to the house and inquiring for the former occupants, and on being denied admit- tance using Vile language, and that in otifer ways feet discovered that the house nad been used by its last occupants ior disreputable purposes, and that finally, on the Ist of December, they w plaintiffs’ place and tendered the keys, stat- ing their reasons, and that on plaintiits refusing to receive them and threatening to sue, they came away, leaving the keys on the desk. They, therefore, set up the defence in this suit that the disreputable character the house had attained was known to the plaintiffs at the time. The evi- dence given on plainuils’ part denied ly such knowledge, and went to contradict the fact that the house had any such reputation, plaintits testi- fying that they, with their iamilies, occupied the house in January following defendants’ removal and found no such Objections. Some of the neighbors and a policeman vf the precint were called to this point, It also appeared by plaintitts’ evidence that defendants, after leaving the Keys, came ard got them again and endeavored to rent the house to ‘another party. But this, defendants say, was at piaintits’ request, At the conclusion of the evi- dence a motion was made that the Court direct a verdict in plamtifts’ favor, The — Court granted the motion, saying, in the course of its review of the case:—“This is an action not tor | use and occupation. Itis an action upon a written contract by the defendants to hire certain premises from tie plaintiffs at a certain rent, payable in advance, and under which contract the deiendants: went into possession and remained in possession at the time the rent sued for here became and was payable, In the ordinary acceptation of the term “fraud” there was none in this case.

Estes, E COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS—PART, I. fhe Mallins Forgery Case—A Westches ter County Justice “Goes Back” on the Prosecution=The Accused Discharged by # Verdict of Acquittal.- Before Recorder Hackett. The trial of Patrick Mullins, charged with forging his wile’s name toa mortgage upon property in Westchester county, by which the Mutual Lie In- surance Company was sought, itis alleged, to be defrauded out of $4,000, was resumed yesterday in this Court. William F. Brown was called by the prosecution, and testified that he was a Justice qf the Peace in Westchester county in February, 1872; that the certificate on the mortgage shown to hia was his; that he did see Susan M. Mollins sign it, but that she came before him with ler husband to acknow!l- edge it at the time of the execution, which was February 29, 1872, ‘;his testimony took tne prosecution by surprise, as the counsel for the people had the strongest reason for believing that Brown would swear that Mrs. Mullins never appeared betore him to ac- knowledge the iustruiment which was the subject of the indictment. The Kecorder said that the turn which the trial took was evidently a surprise to the prosecution as it was to him, and asked the counsel for the people “What they were going to do about it 1” Assistant District Attorney Russell said:—!n or- der that Your Honor may understand the surprise which we hav@had from the testimony of tne last witness, I feel Bound to make the statement that I am informed tn @ credible manner and believe that this last witness was indicted in the county of Westchester as a Justice of the Peace for malefeasance tn connection with this matter, apd then pleaded guilty of taking this acknowledg- ment Without the presence of Mrs. Mullins, and judgment was suspended upon that indictment, on condition ef his resigning his office as Justice of the Peace in the county of Westchester, We sup- posed that he would testify to the truth here t day; and did not suppose that he would add pe jury to malfeasance in oflice. The prosecuting officer was therefore compeiled to abandon the case, and the jury, by direction of His Honor, rendered a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Kussell said there was another indictment against Mullins, The accused having given bail to answer (his accusation was discharged. Mr. Clinton, the counsel for Mulling, said that the District Attorney, having stated under errone- ous information that Justice Brown was indicted in connection with the matter which had veen urder, investigation by the Court and jury, it was but just fer him (Mr, Clinton) to say that Brown never was indicted for anything heels any con- nection either direct or remote from the matter before the Court. It was another matter entirely, for which he was fined six cents, and resigned “honorably.’? {he sudden collapse of the prosecution created great surprise in Court, and, to use a hackneyed phrase, Brown was the “observed of all obsery- ers.” A Batch of Petty Larcenies=The Cul- prits Sent to the Penitentiary. A large number of prisoners were arraigned upon indictments found by theGrand Jury, which were transferred from the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner to this Court. Most of the prisoners pleaded not guilty and were remanded for trial. Daniel Murray, who was charged with stealing two pieces of flannel worth $70, on the 6th instant, the property of 8. M. Rollins, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, and was seut to the Penite aw, for two years. Thomas Walker pieaded guilty to petty larceny, the allegation being that, on the 7th instant, he pds valued at $25, the property of Charles . Chureh, A similar plea was accepted from Susan O’Brien, who was charged with stegling $40 worth of wear- ing apparel from Fannie Porter on the 28th of january. James Rooney also pleaded to the lower grade of larceny, he having Been jointly Thomas Farreli for stealing, on the 21st of January, $40 worth Of rope from John D.

The Italian Bandits Again, Before Judge Sutherland, Another stabbing affray case was tried in this, Court yesterday, Philomena Dijano and Angelo Savaro being the defendants, It wasthe same old story of jeatousy and promiscuous slashing and cutting, Dijano, who was a short, pow- erfully-buile man, of about twenty, with @ smooth tace and bright, large gray eyes, became suspicious about his wife, and went to the house of Angelo Stellano to find her. He was accompanied by a friend, Achille Savaro, and was armed with a knife and a hatchet. The Italian spoken by all the witnesses Was a pecu- liarly unintelligibie variety of patois, and the inter- preter had to bring all his linguistic powers into Play to get pertinent answers. While his friend Achille remained down stairs Dijano found his wife and her mother-in-law in the room of Stellano, and at once began a murderous assault upon the latter. He hit him on the head with the hatchet and then carved his shoulder with a long, ponderous dirk, Which appeared to be worn thin by long use. ‘The wounds were very severe, but not dangerous, Dijano pleaded guilty, but as there was some doubt about Savaro, all the evidence was taken. The Jury found both prisoners uly. Dijano was sen- tenced to five years, with hard labor, at Sing Sing, and his accomplice to one year tn the Penitentiary, In the only otler case Herat Re, prisoner, Jatin Maguire, charged with the larcely of a dress val- ued at $5, Was clearly innocent, and was so found by the jury, + THE LATE JUDGE EMMET. Adjournment of the Superior Court as a Tribate of Respect—Speeches of Various Counsel and Judge Van Vorst. Announcement of the decease of Robert Emmet, at one time Judge of the Superior Court, hag already been made in the HERALD. Out of respect to his memory the Superior Court, Circuit, pre- sided over by Judge Van Vorst, adjourned yester- day. Mr. H. W. Clark made the motion for adjourn- ment, Alter alluding to the death of Mr, Emmet, at his late residence, at New Rochelle, he stated that, being much younger in years, he never en- joyed the privilege of practising at the bar with him; but it had been his pleasure to know him and his aot intimately for many years. He charac- terized the deceased as belonging to that race of lawyers of which yery few were left now, and in conclusion paid @ glowing tribute to his great activity in his profession and unswerving integrity, Mr, Anthony RK. rhe im seconding the motion, said that he enjoyed the rare privilege of au inti- mate acquaintance with Mr, Emmet, He should never forget his genial manner and his stern sense of justice. While upon the bench he adorned the position he held, aud its honors and dignity sat with grace upon him. ,He had gone now, full of June and full of honor, He was @ sound and able jurist, and his death leaves u void not easily filled. He considered the present a fitting time to stay the inimic battle in which they were engaged, to lay aside their armor and briefs and books, and with bowed heads and sorrowiul eyes await the solemn cortége that bears a comrade to the grave, He had passed away, but bis memory would linger lorever with them, Judge Van Vorst said that the motion to adjourn was an eminently proper one. Mr, Emmet had been a distinguished lawyer be: his elevation to the bench, He was the son ot pas Addis Em- met, @bame known to be honored, loved and re- spected, He became a Justice of this Court in the year 1852, having been appointed to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of that distinguished jurist, Louis H. Saniora, and he wds subsequently elected by the people during the remainder of the unex- pired term occasioned by this vacancy, He re- mained a Justice ofthe Court until 1854, when he was succeesled by another pure ayd able lawyer and Judge, Join Slosson, whose earthly career has also recently terminated. The reputation and fame of Judge Emmet place him among the honoxable | men of the profession, Tne motion to adjourn was granted to give the members of the Bar an oppor- tunity to attend the funeral, COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.

Simmons, who butchered Duryea in so horrible amanner, was removed yesterday from Bellevue Hospitat to the Tombs. He was still unable to waik, and had to be carried to the car- riage in which he was conveyed to the prison. Deputy Sheriff Seebacher, who had been ordered by the Sheriff to remove Simmons, was accom- panied by Captain Williams, “This is a fine day, and { think I had better re- move you to-day,” the Deputy Sherif! said to Simmons, who replied in his usuai gputt voice, “{f am ready.” Simmons appeared surly and indifferent, and spoke but little on the way. When asked how he felt he replica that he felt a little better than yesterday, He still matutains his reticence in regard to the murder, aud refuses to be drawn into conversation when the subject is broached. Mr. Johnston, the Warden of the City Prison, received Simmons in his usual kindly manner, and he remained seated close to the stove, on the first tier, until his cell was assigned to him, His relatives and friends were permitted to see him, and they all stole curious glances at Stokes and Foster, whose celis were behind where Simmons sat. Simmons has changed but little in appearance. He is the same jaggy, dogged man ; bis beard is a litle heavier, his eyes hi @ somewhat flercer giance than when he was first arrested.
