10 NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1873.—QUADRUPLE SHEET. THE COURTS. RESCUED FROM THE GALLOWS. The Murder of John O'Hara by John Fitz- , gibbons—Arraignment of the Murderer in the Court of Oyer and Terminer— Plea of Guilty of Manslaughter in the First Degree Ao- cepted—He is Re- manded for Sentence. THOSE HARLEM FLATS. Raising the Question of the Validity of Title—A Knotty Legal Question and Extended Research Among the Musty Grants of the Early Colonial Times—Important Decision by Judge Barbour, of theSuperior Court, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. John B, Sipes, 150 Fulton street, was yesterday charged before Commissioner Osborn with sending through the mail advertisements and notices btating that he had on sale articles which the government allege are of a vulgar, obscene and imdecent character. He was held in $5,000 bail for ex- amination. George E. Brinkerhoff was also brought before Commissioner Osborn and charged with @ Somewhat similar offence. The Commissioner held him for examination, and directed him to find bail mM the sum of $5,000, Rudolph and August Seligman, who had been charged before Commissioner Betts with acts of alleged fraudulent bankruptcy, were yesterday discharged, the Commissioner holding that the evt- ence adduced for the prosecution failed to estab- Mash the accusation. The case has been undergoing investigation for several months. The examination of Botts, Franklin and Andrews, who have been charged with sending through the ‘mails circulars in relation to obscene articles, will ‘be commenced to-day before Commissioner Osborn, It is stated that Franklin is a person of some wealth. He has given bail for his appearance. It is understoed that he was formerly in busines as barber, but he has latterly been turning his at- tention to another class of business, in which the government alleges he has committed the offence mow imputed to him. It will be seen by reference to our law column that repeated and stringent efforts are now being made in the United States Courts to put in force ‘the law at present in operation against the circula- ‘on through the mails of obscene books and pic- tures and obscene and vulgar articles. It is de- Plorable to state that an apparently respectable class of persons are engaged in this vile trade; but the authorities seem determined to stop, as far as ‘they can, a trafiic that is poisoning public morals and tends specially to corrupt the young and the innocent. The Train de lunatico inqurendo case was again the principal entertainment of the Courts yester- day. The whole question might properly be re- ferred to a debating society of boys in the first flush of the cacoi’thes loquendo. The solemnity with which the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and ® jury of twelve men sit, evening after evening, upon Mr. Train, suggests a doubt as to the healthy mental organization of the Court, with the excep- tion of course of defendant’s counsel, who are Well paid to enact their part of the farce. The case Stands adjourned till this afternoon, when the farce will be renewed. Judge Barbour, of the Superior Court, rendered yesterday an important decision touching the question of title to tne land known as the Harlem flats. In his opinion embodying the decision, which will be found elsewhere, the title is traced back to 1666, and there seems to bea question of grave doubt whether the parties claiming at present to own this land can shew good title to it, Persons who have been turning their eyes wistfully in this direction with @ view to purchase—and there is no question that the whole arm, low and marshy as it is now, will some of these days become very vaiu- able—wil! find it to their interest to read carefully ‘the decision, and when read follow Captain Buns, by’s advice and make a note of it. John Fitzgibbons, who in a most cruel and inhu- man man,kilied John O'Hara on last Christmas Eve, the weapon of murderous assanit being a hatehet, with one blow of which he cleft his skull, was ar- Taigned yesterday for trial, before Judge Brady, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, He was in- dicted for murder in the first degree, but through the strategy of his ingenious counsel, a plea was accepted of manslaughter in the first degree, thus saving, beyond question, his neck from the gallows. His sentence was postponed till this morning. The libel sult of George B. Davis vs. the York Times, in which $55,000 are claimed as ages, came to trial yesterday before Judge Freea- Man, of the Superior Court. When Davis was « to the witn stand to testify tn lis own Vehaif his te was objected to on the ground Of Nis disqt ation through having been cen- victed of perjury. It was claimed that this dis- qualification was removed through his subsequent Pardon by the President. Judge Freedman held that there must be a reversal of the previous Judgment, and refused _to permit him to testify. Upon this the prosecutfon was temporarily aban- doned, with the stipulation that the case should Rot be brought into court again unless a reversal of the judgment referred to was obtained, Judge Larremore, of the Court of Common Pleas, is after delinquent jurors with a sharp stick; but Ont of 100 summoned to attend as jurors in his Court yesterday only fifteen put in an appearance. He ordered a fine of $100 to be imposed upon each of the non-attending eighty-five. Among the victims ts Jay Gould, who will have a chance to enter among his items of accounts a genuine one te the credit of “legal expenses,” A case has been on trial for several days past Before Judge Robinson, holding the equity branch of the Court of Common Pleas, and promises to Occupy several days longer, growing out of the purchase of steck of the Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad. The amount in dispute is $21,000. The evidence is contradictory as well as extended, and the interest in the issues involved is confined ‘Wholly to railroad men, bankers and stock brokers. They must have a curious way of preparing in- dictments in the District Attorney’s office. A man ‘was tried yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, before Judge Brady, charged with stealing @ case Of woollen goods from a fretght car. The Proof showed that they were cotton goods, and on account of this variance the man is to be rein- dicted and tried over again. SAVED FROM THE SCAFFOLD. —_— The Christmas Eve Merder—Armeign- ment of John Fitzgibboms for the Mur= der of John O’Hara—The Particulars of the Terrible Homicide—A Fien of Gasity of Manslaughter in the First Degree Accepted—Remanded for Scvtence. Last Christmas Eve @ murder of startling atrocity shocked the demigens of the Twenty-first ‘ward, and when the excited populace Hastenca to the premises, 303 East Forty-sixth sweet, trom | ‘whence proceeded cries of murder, @ gory specta- le met their tervor-stricken gaze, Lying upon the | Moor with outstreched limbs 8 the mutilated form of John O'flare weltering in a pool of his.own | blood, his skull cieft with a watchet, a ghastly Woundupon bis shouider and his body biistered from the effects of boiling water poured on him, all the work of John Fitzgibbons, a demon, evi- t dently, in human shape. The victim presented a writhing, agonizing, pitiful object, whose suffer. made the Btoatest heart quail. The fiend Fitzgibbons was setsed and conveyed to the Thirty- fifth street station house. The wounded man, in terrible pain, was carried to Beilevue Hospital, where, in heartrending agony, ‘bo short time. The evidence on es inquest evolved that John Crimmins, O’Hara’s brother-in-law, came to New York to spend the holidays with his sister. On the night of the fatal butchery Crimmins went inte the room of Fitgibbons and inguired for O'Hara. tzgibbons, whe was hostile fo O'Hara, urged Crimmins to step inside, with which offer Urimmins complied, and Fitzgib- bons then at once barred the door. Fitzgibbons and Crimmins now got intoa wordy le rela- tive to family matters, which quarrel attracted O’Hara’s attention, and the latter came to the door and cried, “John, are you in there? Crimmins apewered from within, a Acs God’s sake come and take me out,’? ‘ibbont heart O’Hara’s voice, stenlthily ma nimsett being the door, and as O’Hara entered the apartment and he seized =a __ hatchet hurled a berculean blow at O'Hara’s head, throw- ing him wounded and 4 hiess to the floor. The assassin continued the attack, and Crimmins at- tempting to interfere to save the life of his sister's husband, was Ppsinateiken the exultant and gloating ejaculation of Fitzgibbons, “If you move Pl brain you.” The.case was brought betore the Grand Jury and an indictment for murder in the first degree was found against Fitzgibbons, thus giving the heinous crime its proper title, the facts showing a more _harrow- ing and terrible murder than Foster’s or Nixon’s. Knowing the characteristic ene! and perseverance of Mr. William F, Howe, the friends of Fitzgibbons importuned his services for the benefit of the prisoner, and Mr, Howe, although cognizant that the cause which he was retained to defend presented all the formidable features of a most desperately bad ease, applied himself to the matter, and since Fitzgibbons’ im- prisonment has worked steadily in bis behalf, and, as the result shows, with snccess, saving him from the gallows. He showed the different phases of the case in such a manner to the District Attor- ney and to His Honor as to gain for his client per- mission to enter a plea of guilty of manslaughter B the first degree in lieu of murder in the first jegree. At the Court of Oyer aud Terminer, yesterday morning, Judge Brady on the bench, Fitzgibbuns was placed at the bar and asked to plead to an in- dictment for murder in the first degree. Assistant District Attorney Roilins recited the facts as given above, and then added that owing to certain facts in the case, he was inclined to accept paar plea—that of manslaughter in the first jegree. Mr. Abe H. Hummel, who appeared for the pris- oner, stated that his senior counsel, Mr. Howe, was unwell, owing to his recent labors, and asked the Court to remand the accused for sentence until he could state his case to the Court. Judge Brady replied that he had to take the Dis- trict Attorney’s statement as his justification in accepting the plea, but he thought it was a case for severe punishment, The prisoner then withdrew his plea of not guilty of murder in the first degree, and pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree, He was remanded for sentence. HARLEM FLATS. The Title to these Lands—A Thorough Legal Examination of the Subject and Delving up the Earliest Grants and Charters=Important Decision by Judge Barbour. An important decision as effecting the question Of title to what are popularly designated as the “Harlem Flats,” embracing, a8 is well known, an extended area of marsh land, originally entirely covered and still partially covered by water at high tide, boardering on the East River and extending from Ninety-fourth to 106th street and part of the way from the East River to the Third avenue, was given yesterday by Judge Barbour, of the Superior Court. about a yearago it appears that Thomas Crane entered into an agreement with James Sonneborn for the purchase of some sixteen lots of this land in the vicinity of Ninety-fourth street and Second avenue. He was to pay $55,500 for the land, and patd $1,500 on the signing of the agreement, the balance to be paid pursuant to the regulations in the article of agreement. After matters had proceeded thus Jar, the understand- ing being that a valid title in fee simple should be given lor the premises, Mr. Crane thought it worth while to have a thorough search made into the title, This search was AOSO ERY Made, and the result as to title not being sausfactory, he re. fused to complete the purchase, upon which Mr. Sonneborn brought suit to compel him to do so, The matter came up before Judge Barbour, and, as siated above, te yesterday gave his decision, em- bodying the same in a lengthy written opinion, and which cannot fail to be of interest to purchasers of property on these flats. THE OPINION. After reciting the particulars of the contract and na- ture of the suit as described above, the opinion proceeds to state that upon the trial the plalntiff read ine: heirs, successors and assigns the particular lots and estates then enjoyed and posscased by them res all lying within certain bounds therein and also granted to the said freeholders ani habitants, "their heirs, survivors, &c., the pi of a but immediately depending on city York) as being within | the liberties thereof, such town being bounded as above-men- tioned. ‘The patent does notin terms grant all the lands so bounded to any one, although it declares that all the lands within the lines’ shall belong to the towne,” and rdum it concludes, following the description, “to have and to hold all and singutar the saia lands, heredi- taments and premises, with their appurtenances, &c., to the said freeholders and inhabitants, their heirs, suc- cessors und assigns forever.” The lands which are the of this action appear to be embraced within the xentioned boundaries, Jand covered by the description of the lands to be held by the freeholders, &c, But I am satisfied that the patent furnishes NO EVIDENCE OF TITLE to any lands therein decseribed, except, possibly, which were then occupied and possessed by the freeholders and individually; for not only was there no direct grant of the other lands to any one, Dut it Is impossible to de- termine whether the town or freeholders, it either, were intended te be made the grantees or owners, even if It could pe held that @ grant to nincorporate town, or to a class of persons described merely as freebolders and not named, was good in law. Indeed, it Is quite probable that some’ doubt in regard to the effect and opera- tion of that patent arose ie minds of the parties interested. for in March, 1636, a patent was issted by Thomas Dongan, then Captain General and Governor of the province of New York, &c., which re- cited that Governor Nicholls had, by a patent bearing date the Ith of October, 1666 (not May, 1666), “granted to ‘Thomas D. Mavall, John Vervelin, Daniel Turner, Joost allem and Kowland Waldron, as'patentees for and on behalf of themselves and thetr associates the treeholders and inhabitants of New Harlem, their heirs, succes: and assigns,” certain lands @escribing them), and 5 fied and confirmed that grant, not to the five persons ed, Dut to the last four and uineteen others, and nted ‘to them “as patentees for and on behalf of themselves, the present (reeholders and inhabitants of the town of New Harlem, their heirs, successors and assigns, “all and singular the before-mentioned pare of land to be holden to the said grantees of the King the free and common vocage, yielding and paying there- for 2 quitrent of sixteen bustieis of wheat yearly.” * * * The lands covered by the contract are WITHUN THR LIMITS of the grantiast mentioned * * * Ifthe plaintiff hi been compelled to put in evidence the patent of Li86, 1 possible that the other proofs presented by him woul hi heen enough to prove his ownership of the premise: ancient title. n charter of 1708 con: tained agrantof all the tands between high and low water mark around the island to the city ot New York, which included and conveyed the premises in question, y granted to others, it was essential to e that he should present in evidence the ‘as 4 priorgrant, Unfortunately for him, however, that patent shows that whatever interest he has in the premises derived from the grantees bound therein, is an estate by yocage tenure, that the lands in question orig still are subject to a rent charge (1, A 8. 718\soc. 4, act of 17791 J. and Varick L., 44). The plaintiff is, therefore, unable to per- form the contract upon his part, for that contract to con- without limitation of title implied an agre: {to transfer and convey an estate in tee simple, the contemplanted purchaser 4s not bound to take ferent and lesser estate than that which bargained have and receive. * * * 1. think also that the evidence of @ grant from the inhabi- tants and freeholders of jem, through which the "plaintiff claims titie, is insuMecient. For the evidence of Mr. Seville, which alone is relied upon to that Grant does not show that each deed was cuted by the twenty-three grantees named in the Es g patent of 1686, or the heirs or successors of those persons, hor by a majority of those even ag would be necessary it tees could be properly considered as trustees jor it of themselves, dl such other per- th: any, a8 constitute elders and inhabi. sons, if d the fre - tants of Harlem, He concludes with dismmssing the complaint, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART |. The Libel Suit of George B. Davis Agzinst the New York Times, Before Judge Freedman. Among the accusers of ex-Collector Bailey was George B, Davis. It was charged that in his sworn statement he perjured himself, and the charge be- ing considered substantiated in the United States Court, where he was triea, he was convicted and sentenced to State Prison. Before the expiration of his term of imprisonment he was pardoned by President Grant. Meantime an article was pub- lished in the New York Times charging Davis, a3 alleged, in addition to perjury in. the Bailey suit with having —previousiy * nar- rowly escaped conviction in England for Jelony, and with having been guilty of crime in Canada. On aeoount of this alleged libel Mr. Davis brought suit ageinst the paper, claiming $55,000 a8 damages, 6 defence Was the truthfulness of the alleged libelong statements. The case came iu) aring on behel Jor trial yesterday, Mr. Hirsch ap) | of Mr. Davis and John H. Choate for the New York Times, After the case had been opened by Mr, Hirsch he cailed Mr. Davis as a witness in his own behalf. To this Mr. Choste objected, insisting that Mr. Davi Was disqualified from testifying through con- viction of a felony in the United States Court, the crime as allegeé being that of pseey, in the pro- crams instituted against ex-Collector Baile: Mr. Hirsch claimed that the pardon of Mr. Davis 2 tion could be remaved it was essential to obtain, before @ competent tribunal, a reversal of such Rs Freedman decided that as the State statute prescribed that conviction for perlory should forever disqual @ person from being a Witness in a court of justice until the judgment was reversed, the disability continued notwith- standing the dential pardon. Mr, Hirsh proposed to withdraw a juror 80 as to allow a ret! of the case. To this Mr. Choate would not consent without the other side stipa- lating that they would not again bring the case into court unless a reversal of the judgment in question had been obtained. This was finally agreed to, the juror was withdrawn and the Prosecution temporaily abandoned. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Deetsions.

The jury found for the defendants, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—SPECIAL TERM. Decision. By Judge Lowe. Woodruff vs. Camden and Amboy Railroad Com- pany.—Case settled. MARINE COURT—PART I. What Constitutes a Material Alteration of a Note. Before- Judge Curtis. Islin et al. vs. Davis.—George H. Randall gave a note endorsed by defendant te one Mrs. Cartwright in payment of a board bill, It appears that after the endorsement was made Randall inserted in the body of the note “Payable at the Fourth National Bank,” without the knowledge or consent of the endorser. Judge Curtis dismissed the complaint upon the ground that it was a material alteration in the note and vitlated the same; that it was not the case reporteds in 41 Barber, in which Judge Leonard drew the distinction that the authority to insert the place payable was imphed from the word “at? being printed in the body of the note. In this case the word “at” was not printed in the body of the note. : Avoidance of a Lease. Julius Shubderth vs. Edward Mollenhaner.—This action was brought to recover the amount due for rent under a written contract of lease. Tne de- fendant sought to avoid the lease by showing that he was induced to sign the same_ by the fraudulent representation of pilaintitr that the sam_ mentioned in his lease ($2,280 per annum) was the amount paid by his predecessor; that in fact his predecessor only paid $2,000; that after he discovered the fraud he demanded back the money paid in excess; but plaintiff refused to give it; that he paid the excess under protest, but did not abandon the premises. Judge Curtis directed a verdict for plaintiff on the ground that it was the duty of defendant to have abandoned and rescinded the contract as soon as he discovered the fraud; that he could not derive any benefit from the contract and seek to avoid its provisions, Furthermore, that defendant was ina position to know the real value of the premises. Verdict accordingly. MARINE COURT—PART 2. Important to Bankers. Before Judge Spaulding. Bank of North America vs. The Chemical National Bank.—This action was brought to recover the sum of $500 under the following circumstances :— It appeared that the firm of Morgan & Allen, a de- positor with the plaintif, made, on the 10th of October, 1872, their promissory note for $500, pay- able thirty days after date to the order of one George E. Cocke at the Bank of North America. The note, endorsed by the payer, was left with the defendant for collection, who, at its maturity, presented it to the plaintif for payment, whose telier certified it and charged it to the account of Morgan & Allen. On the return of the note to the defendant it was stamped “paid,” and credited to the account of the payee, Neither the plaintiff nor any of its agents knew by whom the note was held or by whom or for whom it was presented until the day after it was pre- sented for payment, when it had been returned by the Clearing House. Then the plaintiff learned for the first time that it was held by the defendant, who had received the money en it. On the suc- ceeding day the plaintif’s cashier called on the defendant and expiained that the note had been certified under a mistake; that the account of the maker with the plaintiff was overdrawn, and re- quested permission to erase the certification, and at the same time demanded a return of the money. The defendant refused. The amount, it was admit- ted, had not been paid to the drawee yet. Judge Spaulding, in rendering his decision, said substantially :—The question presented for my de- ion is: Can the plaintiff recover as for money paid under # mistake of fact. that the Chemical Bank was not the proper party defendant; that it acted only as the agent in mak- ing the collection; that the owner, if any one, was liable. That point is not tenable, becanse there is no proof that the defendant disclosed its principal until atter a demand for the return of the money was made, This point has been disposed of in the case of the Canal Bank vs. the Bank of ga (1 Hill, 28%). Even where the agency has been disclosed, and mone paid to the agent for his principal under such circumstances that it may be recovered back from the latter, it may still be recovered irom the agent, provided he has not paid it over nor altered his situation in relation to his principal. (La Farge vs. Kneeland 7 Cow., 455). This case refers, a8 9n authority, to that of Butier vs, Harri- son (Cowp., 465), in which the agent had given credit to his principal and rendered him his ac- count containing the credit. In Hearsey Vs. Proyn (7 Johns, 179), Spencer J. held that an action may be sustained against an agent who had received money to which the principal had no right, if the agent had notice not to pay it over to the principal. The demand of the plaintiff in this case for a return of the mone; and to be allowed, to erase the certification was in effect, though not in terms, a notice not to pay the proceeds to the payee. I have, therefore, no hesitation in holding that the action is properly brought agatnst the present defendant. e legal effect of the certification of commeretal paper by banks has been passed upon in numerous cases— Wellests vs. The Phanix Bank (2 Deur, 131) ;Mends vs. The Merchants’ Bank of Albany (26 N. Y., 148). According to the course of business in New York city between the Clearing House and Bachangs and banks which effect their clearances through it, the certification of commercial paper by a bank means something more than a mere assumption of an obligation to pay the certified paper when presented. The certification is in effect an order for the Clearing House to pay the amount to the credit of the bank holding the paper and to charge the certifying bank with a corresponding amount, Itis precisely the same as if the certily- ing bank took the note and gave its check upon the Clearing House for a specific sum of money. I am of opinion that the certificatton of the note payment of it, The teller of the that when he certified the note edid not know the maker's account had been overdrawn, It cannot be claimed that this was such @ yoluntary payment as to defeat the right of by the President removed the disqualification and estored to him all is rights. Vm _ Mr. Choate urged that veiore sueh disgnalifica-, recovery, A payment made without a full knowl. edge of gil the facts concerning the matter ig not @ veluntary payment. (Lake. va. tz Keys, 276; Bank The point is raised | vs. 40 N. Y., 301; Kenly vs. Solan, 9 Ina 10, 84)"'rae Iw ‘til wot permit derendant to retain this money unless there is something in take it out of the general rule, cases in which banks that have commercial paper by mistal held to their obligation. They are cases in which the Courts appl the principles of the law of estoppel. Ti where the certified paper was ne; Jide holders for value, and which caused holders to lose their rignts st endorsers. There are no such elements of damage in this case. The case of the Irving Bank vs. Witt erail (36 N. Y., 335) is° the nearest in point that Ihave been able to find. My conclusion is that plaintiff is entitied to recover the amount of the note, with interest from the 12th day of Novem- ber, with costs and $25 allowance, COUNT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. A Panel of Decrepid and “Indisposed” JurorsThe Absentees Fined. Before Recorder Hackett. His Honor the Recorder observed yesterday that the Sheriff must have made a singular mistake in summoning a large number of invalids to serve as Jurors. One hundred jnrors were summoned to serve in this Court and only thirty-two answered, and twenty-two of them had either heart disease, Tuptures or spinal complaints, which unfitted them for service a8 jurors. The clerk was directed to fine the absentees $250 each for neglecting to ap- Pear, in obedience to the subpoena. Acquittals. The first case disposed of by the jury was an in- dictment for burglary against Charles Reilly. The evidence showed that on the night of the 3d inst. he entered the club house of the William M. Tweed Association, No. 105 East Broadway, by the coal hole, and was discovered by an officer in his stock- ing feet. The accused proved that he was jor- merly employed there as a barkeeper and that his character was good. fe swore himself that he was jocked out of his ewn apartments and went into the club room to sleep. A verdict of not guilty was rendered. Lawrence Cae ¢ was tried upon a charge of robbery. it seemed from the tes- timony adduced by the prosecution that on the night of the 17th of March Lawrence Hollenback was assaulted and robbed of $40 ata restaurant in Bleecker street by an alleged noto- rious thief named Culley, alias Lockwood. The complainant said he was struck from behind by some person, when Lockwood struck him in front; that Casey, whom he saw conversing with Lock- wood in the saloon, stood near him, but he could not swear that it was the defendant who did it, other persons being in the saloon. As there was | not suficient evidence against Casey the Jury was instructed to acquit him. “Johnny the Greek” at the Bar. The Grand Jury brought ina number of indict- ments for robbery, burglary and larceny, upon which the prisoners were arraigned. Among the prisoners placed at the bar was John Keefe, alias ‘Johnny the Greek,’’ the indictment ainst him being for robbery, second offence. If he is con- victed of this the Court can sentence him to the State Prison for forty years. Mr. Mott, who ap- peared for Keefe, asked time to examine the in- dictment befere being called wpon to plead to it, which was granted. In June, 1869, this prisoner ‘was convicted under the name of John Roach of stealing a check for $175 and $69 in bank notes from the person of N. J. McCready, in Broadway, for which offence the Recorder sent him to the State Prison for three years. Grand Larcenies. Isabella Robinson pleaded guilty to stealing ladies’ clothing, valued at $165, on the 4th inst., . the property of Mary Ann Richardson. She was sent to the State Prison for three years. John Watson, who on the 17th of March stole a watch and other jewelry, valued at $43, owned by Margaret Murray, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny. The youth was sent to the Pent- tentiary for twe years and six months, John Regan pleaded guilty toa similar grade of larceny, the charge being that on the 15th of this month he stole $100 in money from Henry Horst- mann, Two years and six months in the State Prison was the sentence. POLICE COURT SCENES. Curious Phi s of Criminal Life as Seen in the Tombs Court Yesterday. Patrick Foley, of 11 Elm street, was arraigned yesterday morning for an assault committed on Thomas Scanion on Sunday night. The prisoner was in charge of Officers Gilroy and Doran, who had also suffered severely at the hands of Foley in endeavoring to arrest him. Officer Gilroy had three cuts across his forehead and Officer Doran exhibited the marks of a severe beating around his head, Foley, who is a man of herculean frame and desperate character, was held to answer at Special Sesstons on the complaint of Thomas Phillips, who witnessed the affray. Thomas Scan- lon is at present lying in the Park Hospital with a broken leg. THE FARO BANK OUTRAGE, Thomas Barclay, who was accused by Henry Mandelbaum of beating and robbing him, at 40 Bowery, on Wednesday night last, was arrested on the Bowery by Captain Kennedy and Detective Dolan, of the Sixth precinct. He was brought be- fore Judge Hogan yesterday. The complainant was unable to appear, but the following statement in his own handwriting was received :— Last Wednesday evening about five o'clock T went up with med Larry Weaver to 40 Bowery, up stairs. I ph ttle while and lost some money, and paid jayed fot for the cheeks. Afterwards 1 asked for, some. more checks, which were given to me, but found out during the time that I haa been skinned, and then I refused to pay for the checks. As soon asImade a remark about ‘skinning’ and not paying for the checks,Tom Barclay and another man, whom I can identity at ‘any time, got up from their seats, dragged me into a back room, locked the door, searched my pockets, took all the money away from me, amounting to about $425, and knocked me down senseless. How ever I got home and by whom I was taken home I cannot tell. HENRY MANDELBAUM. Captain Kennedy also made a formal affidavit against the prisoner, The doctor in attendance on the wounded man stated that he would not be able ty thee before Saturday. The prisoner was then neld in $2,000 bail, pending examination, and was baied out by his brother James Barclay, OUT ON A LARK. On Sunday night Officer Kelley, of the Fourteenth Precines, noticed @ very well dressed and good- jooking young man pass up and down Houston street, near Crosby, evidently endeavoring to at- tract the attention of the young ladies who frequent that vicinity. So industrious was he in this regard that he managed to gather quite a crowd of females around him and stood for some time jeering and laughing on the corner of Crosby, surrounded by quite a large audience. OMicer Kelly requested the Bay, young man to move on, but received a decided refusal to comply with his request and was told to mind his own business, if he did not want to get in trouble. Oficer Kelly waxed wroth and arrested the young man. When he was brought to the station house and ques- tioned by the Sergeant his demeanor very suddenly changed and he shook like an aspen leaf and tne tears rolled down his manly cheeks. The young man sobbed violently and acted otherwise in @ very strange manner. At last, in broken accents, the prisoner managed to tell the Sergeant that it was @ woman and not aman he had in custody. She lived in Lexington avenue and had put on her brother’s clothes for a lark. She said her name was Miss Julia Black. Officer Kelley escorted his prisoner before Judge Hogan yesterday morning. She was attired in the habiliments of her own sex and presented the appearance of a respectable young girl. The Judge held her on a charge of dis- orderly conduct and her triends were notified, COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.
