The writs are returnable this morning In the United States Circuit Court.

ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL, The Trial of George Shefflin, Indicted for the Murder of His Wife—Particuiars of the Alleged Murder—Ten Jurors Ob- tained—Canvassing the Sabject of Free Love-Insanity from Jealousy the De= fence. On the reassembling of the Court of Oyer ana | Terminer yesterday morning—Judge Brady on the bench—the room was crowded, The case of George SBheMin, indicted for the murder of his wife, had been set down for trial, and this was enough to draw together a large and curious throng, who geem to relish nothing so much as supping on the horrors incidental to a murder trial, Shefin was | brought promptly into Court. He isa large man, and a@ecidedly unprepossessing in Lis appearance. The FACTS OF THE MURDER. The offence for which he is tudicted is still | fresh in the public memory. He and his wife oc- cupied apartments at No. 414 East Eleventh street. ‘The statement is that when the pelice entered the = onthe morning of the 14th of Jauuary last hey found Mrs. Sheiiiin lying dead in a pool of ‘biood, and near her the mother of Mr, Sheflin and a sister, in a state of beastly Intoxication, amination Mrs. Shettlin was found to be dead, her skull fractured and her body covered with bruises, Meantime Shefiin had ran away, but Detectives Bennett and Clapp speedily tracked the fugitive to his hiding place and arrested Lim. On his arrest he confessed to kilimg his wile, but said that he did itin a trenzy of jealousy, having found another man in bed with ber. On being brought into court he was given a seat in the rear o! his counsel, Mr. ‘William F. Howe and Abe H. Hummel. The prose- cution was represented by District Attorney Phelps and Assistant District Attorney Lyon, The first ‘thing, of course, was GEITING A JURY. This was but a repetition of the preliminary Scenes in most murder trials. Mr. Howe, who was assisted by Mr. Hummel, questioned the jurors ‘with his accustomed skill and judgment, as also did ‘the counsel for the prosecution. The circumstances o(the killing being of the peculiar kind descrived, Mr. Howe ere each one particularly on the subject of their views regarding ‘ree love.” The answers of some of the jurors to these questions | ‘were of an amusing character and greatly served to relieve this part of the case from the dull tedium that otherwise would have ensued. Such was the rigidness of the questioning, however, that from ‘the panel of one hundred jurors summoned only ‘ten jurors were obtained, The following are the mames of the jurors:—Martin Briggs, ert F. Cook, Francis A. Murdock, Hugh Vockran, Heury 0. ‘Wentworth, Frederick W. Hand, Henry 'D. Kyder, Klennor, Emil F. Scharff and Joseph Ewing, ANOTHER PANEL OF JURORS, Upon Mr. Sparks, the Cierk, announcing that the nel had been exhausted, Judge Brady expressed 8 Fegret that such was the case, as it delayed the Fi of the trial. He ordered another panel of 100 for to-day, and meantime cautioned the jurors @lready obtained against talking about the case or weading anything regarding itin the newspapers, and then ‘hdjourned the Court till half-past ten ' o'clock this morning. THE CASE @F CARL VOGi. The Prussian Treaty of Extradition—A Very Nice Question of International Law—Writs of Habeas Corpus and Cer- torari. Yesterday the case of Carl Vogt, alias Joseph | Stapp, came up before Commissioner Kenneth G. | White. The prisoner, it will be remembered, who | fs claimed to be @ Prussian subject, is charged | with having committed the crime of mur- der at Brussels, Belgium. There is a law im existence ip Prussia which declares tbat if a Prussian subiect commit mur der in o foreign * Lest he may be tried for pat offence if “enna or pert within the jaris- diction of Pragsia, ‘The latter country vow forms brag of ene North German Einpire, and the authori- ies Of that Kxapire has e made 2a ment a hag OVEN) ted States P ut nmené of the Un! eo tbat emia be triea there for the erime whica, it is alleged, a mitted In Belgium, There is no extradition treaty between the United States and Belgiam, and hence the government of the latter country could make No application to the United States for the extra- dition of oes omg could be attended to by the Secretary of State. When The case was called yesterday the prisener, accompanied by some Fp ay oP od in an Appearance, He was represented by his counsel, ir. W. T. Kintzing. Ex-Governor Solomons at- tended’ a8 counsel for the German government. Mr, Johanne’ Roesing, the Consul General o1 Ger- many, was also present. Mi. Kiptzing said he was not ready to go on with the examination, as he had that morning made an application to Judge Blatchford for writs of habeas corpus and certiorart for the purpose of deciding the first and great question in the case—whether or not, admitting all the facts to be true as set forth in the complaint, the Prussian govern- ment had any right to claim the extradi- tion of the accused under the treaty of 1852, as this treaty provided only for an offence committed within the jurisdiction of Prussia, and this juris- diction, he maintained, was confined to the ter- ritory of tuat country, while the offence charged was committed in the xingdom of Be:gium. He expected every moment that Judge Blatchford would grant the writs, Ex-Governor Solomons approved of the sugges- ton of Mr, Kintzing. It was not necessary to go into any lengthy examimation of the testimony until the question was first passed upon by the Judge whether this was a proper case to be brought within the peat. The Commissioner said he was perfectly willing that this course should be taken and then ad- journed the case for a week. Subsequently Judge Blatchford granted in the above case writs of habeas corpus and certiorari, returnable this morning at eleven o'clock. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. pet at ot A SUPREME COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART I, Merchants Must Know to Whom They are Sellang Goods. Before Judge Davis. In 1866 Mr, L, S. Lenheim ran three stores—one in Great Bend, Pa.; one in Binghamton, this State, and the third in Meadville, Pa, A brother of his had charge of the latter store. Mr. Lenheim bought largely of Claflin & Co., of this city, and his bills were all prett; Sem aid, <A fire reduced to ashes the Meadville establishment, and as there was Do insurance on the place the loss fell heavily on Mr. Lenheim, This caused some delay in the settiement of the latter’s accounts, but they were finally adjusted. Meantime, phcenix-like. another store reared itself from the ashes of the Meadville store, and Messrs, Claflin & Co, sold liberally to the brother of Mr, Lenheim, supposing, however, as had been the case previously, that the purchases were on account of his brother. Finally, when the bill ran up to $8,354 78, and finding that Mr, L. 8. Lenheim would not pay, suit was brought to com- ze the latter to pay. The case was tried yesterday n this Court, and resulted in a dismissal of the complaint, the moral of the suit being that mer- chants should know to whom they sell goods. SUPERIOR COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART |. Concerning Land in Virginia and the Practice of Law on Original Princi- ples. Before Judge Friedman, John O, Clute was, and is still, for that matter, owner of 1,300 acres of land in Kanawha county, Virginia, Understanding that Mr. Clinton Roose- velt, owning land in the vicinity, proposed visiting the locality, he wrote him a note, stating that if, after seeing the land, he desired to purchase it, he would let him have it at $3 per acre. Mr. Roose- velt did not go, but a nephew of his did, and he re- ae im favor of the purchase, The fact was, and anny (be true, that oll ned been ligcovered em- bosomed in the roc! y strata, bat of this fact My Clute had meantime been informed, The result was that when Mr. Rooseveit caine and teadered him $9,300 for the land, which was the price agreed upon, he refused to accept it. Upon this snit was brought against Mr. Clute to compel compliance with the contract, and a referee te whom the matter was referred reported m fav of dismissing the ey alt which was done, The particulars of this suit were published in full at the time in the HERALD, The case came up, however, yesterday in a new phase in this Court, Mr. Reosevelt assigned his claim to David Grosbeck, and the latter brought suit for damages for non-fulfilment of the con- tract. This suit was also dismissed on the ground that the previous action was a bar to its prosecu- tion. Among the witnesses called was Mr. Clinton occa, a portion of whose examination was as jollows :— “Are you @ member of the bar, Mr. Roosevelt ?” “No sir; but I practise law tor all that.” “How does it happen that izes practise law if you were never admitted to the bart?” “The Courts allow me to practice.” “So, then, you have studied lava’). “Oh yes, 81,7. S ot i “Why weré you never admitted to practice?” “T would not belong to a profession limited in its scope and compelling the taking of a specific oath, Thave always been known as the poorman’s iriend, and hope lever shall.’ SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS.

Before Judge Spaulding. George Burk vs. George J. Smith.—This action | Was brought to recover the sum of $247, as the value of goods taken under an execution. It ap- peared that one George Miller, a merchant, ob- tained a judgment against one John Reynolds, a grocer, for the value of certain goods sold and de- livered. After obtaining the judgment Miller placed it in the hands of the defendant, acity Mar- shal, for execution, and he levied upon the goods and chattels of Reynolds, and sold at auction sufficient of them to satisfy the judgment. The defence set up was that the property belonged to the plain- tilt, who purchased it from Reynolds, and to sus- tain his pretensions produced a bill of sale from Reynolds to him of the store, Mxtures and goods, During the trial of the cause plaintii’s counsel, seeing that the preponderance of proof was against his client, asked the Court to direct the jury to render a verdict forthe defendant.

SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM, ae i Interesting Reading for Taxpayerr— Questioning the Validity of Laws and the Actions of Public Officers. Befere Judge Pratt. Judge Pratt yesterday denied the motion of Thomas Prosser for the continuance of the injunc- tion restraining the Board of Education trom ap- plying a certain sum of money, $41,000, to other purposes than the erection of a public school house in the Twenty-first ward. Mr. Prosser contended that this amount had been appropriated by the joint board for the erection of a school building in that ward, and that, therefore, the Board of Education, who had determined to make school improvements in other wards: had no right to expsid it for any other purpose, ‘The case has excited considerable comment in oMcial and private circles in Brooklyn, and the decision of the Court was looked forward to with interest. In his decision, Judge Pratt says:—It is unnecessary to examine the merits of this contro- versy, as it appears from the complaint that no private right of the plaintiff is mooted or injury threatened to him, which is not equally a grievance to all the other taxpayers in the district de- scribed. No injury peculiar to the plaintit is threatened, assuming that all that 1s stated in the complaint is true. In a greater or less degree every person in that pari of the city is interested in having @ school established upon tbe lot designated, and it may be and proba- bly is true that a failure i) build a schoglhouse that locality will be a serious injury to all the in- habitants ef the neighborhood. The rule is well settled that for wrongs against the public, whether actually committed or only apprehended, the rem: edy is by a prosecution instituted by some officer authorized by law to actin its behaif, Any other rule would involve the community in excessive litigation and harass public ofticers with vexatious suits. Ifevery taxpayer had a right to question THE VALIDITY OF THE LAW OR THE ACTION OF A PULLIC OFFICER in the Courts in respect to his rights incommon with other taxpayers no law could be executed, no tax collected and no officer permitted to per- form his duties. When an act of the Legislature or the action of a public officer affects the private rights of a citizen he has his appropriate remedy by suit, but if his grievance consists in a wrong, not an jnjury to his individual rights, but in. one, he suffers in common with his fellow citizens, he must invoke the action of the oficer or party empowered to sue in such cases. These views are only applicable to the cases where a private person, or a number of persons, assume in behalf of the public, or in their own names, to challenge publicoMicers to meet them in the Courts to defend their oficial duties. Every citizen is pre- sumed to be interested in having the law faithfully executed and is thereby qualified to be a party or relator to a suit, proceeding in behalf of the peo- ple to compel public oficers to perform the duties imposed by law; but there is a wide distinction between the latter proceeding and a private suit to CHAMPION THE RIGHTS OF THE COMMUNITY, and it is one founded on reason and public policy. Neither will the assumption that the defendants, the Board of Education, are ofiicers of the city of Brook- lyn, or @ bureau of the city government, change the aspect of the case. Section 21 of Title 11 of the charter of the city of Brooklyn does not describe the defendauts nor apply in any manner to the property or funds in the possession of the Board of Education, It is immaterial te the decision of this motion to determine whether the Board of Educa- tion is a quasi corporation, created by statute, in- dependent ofthe control of the Common Council, and placed in charge of the educational interests within the territory of the city, or t)at the mem- bers thereof are city officers exercising the func- tions prescribed by law. Subordinate and respon- sible to the authorities of such affairs as the plaintiff by his bill of complaint A pears to have ne standing in Court to maintain ite action against the defendant Board in either capacity. The mo- tion to continue the injunction is therefore denied, with $10 costs, The Third Avenue Sewer Assesments. A motiou was made yesterday for the vacation of the assessment for the Third avenue sewer on cer- tain property of John G. Leeds, in Prospect avenue (Middle street), between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The petitioner claimed that alter the original con- tractor for the work had failed, the Water and Sew- erage Board gave the balance of the work, without advertising lor proposals, to one Keeney, at an ad- vance of $120,0:0 on the oe oe contract job, Counsellor be Witt held that, in accordance with @ clause in each contract, the Board could, alter an original contractor had failed, ‘pd the balance of the work out without advertising, The original contractor would be charged with the deficiency. Mr. Leeds only objected to being assessed for the excess allowed the second contractor, 5 Judge Pratt intimating that he would decide to that effect, counsel arranged to agree upon a state- ment Of facts to be presented to the General Term. Divoreing a Colored Minister. Rev. Alexander H. Newton, a colored clergyman, brought suit against his wife, Victorine, an oc- toroen of about twenty years, for an absolute dl- vorce on the ground of adultery, and the case was referred. Yesterday the reteree reported in favor of allowing the divorce, and an application for the same was granted by Judge Pratt. The divorced couple lived in Pineapple street.

PRUYN WAS CALLED. He affirmed and sald :—I am a director of the Erie Ral way Company I voted against the dividend on the co mon stock ; Lobjected to it because I did not think the Board was sufficiently informed as to the true amount of e act, in director, Mr. Oliphant, he thought, ob- cted gh the ground that he did not think the equipinent ad been kept up; the sum of 2%¢ per cent was paid for nogotiating the bond: hat was a large percentas butmy impression was, dealing with the firm ot Bischotfs- heim 4 Co., who took the contract: it was a very good one; under ord! es One or two per cent ought to be en ‘o Mr. Lincoln—The ent in the Board in favor of a dividend was that the English stockholders wanted the amount earned, whatever it was, divided; Ina general joint of view it was not s proper to reimburse Bischoffs, fein, & C0. for the expenses. In effecting the coup tat which put on the Gould directogs; that Was not a legiti- mate charge upon the company. The committee then adjourned till to-morrow afternoon. THE JUSTH OASE, ioe) “New Yorx, April 14, 1873. To THe Epiror OF THRE HERALD:— My attention has to-day been called to a report of tne proceedings in the case of The People on the complaint of Emil Justh against his wife, contained in your Sunday’s issue. While I can scarcely com- plain of the report, in so far as regards the relative propriety ofthe conduct of myself and the com- plainant’s counsel, yet it seems to fix upon me the odium of cowardice and conveys the impression that the remarks of the counsel to me did not meet with the rejoinder they deserved, ‘That this is un- true I think any one present would testify. You will oblige me by publishing this note. Respect- fully, JOHN D, TOWNSEND. New York, April 15, 1873, To THE EpiITOR OF THE HERALD:— Do me the favor to say to your readers that [ am not of counsel in the Justh case. JOHN TOWNSHEND, 103 Fulton street, New York.
