BUSINESS IN THE OTHER OOURTS. Yesterday, in the United States District Court, Judge Blatchford presiding, 4,600 cigars and 3,360 bundles of cigarettes, which were seized on board the steamers City of Havana and City of Mexico, on suspicion that they had ‘been smuggled, were condemned by de/ault, no claimant ‘having appeared tor the property. Patrick Butler was brought before Judge Blatchford yesterday on habeas corpus. Butter had enlisted in the United States army; andit was now sought to have him discharged from the same on the ground that he was only seventeen years old when he made his enlistment. This latter tact having been shown to the satisfaction of the Court, Butler was discharged on the payment of $3041, being the amount of disbursements made by the United States on his account. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday the Grand Jury which had been empannelled for the March term came into Court before Judge Benedict. ana presented a number of indictments against persons who have been called “Doctors,” for sending obscene articles through the mails. They also presented Indictments against ex- Senator Graham, for embezzling the funds ot the Walkill National Bank, and F. L. Taintor, late cashier of the Atlantic National Bank, for the alleged defaications in that establishment. ‘The Grand Jury were then dis- charged, with the thanks of the Court for their attend- ance. The May Criminal Term of the United States Circuit Court will be opened to-day, before Judge Benedict. The ealendar contains a list of forty-five cases, Mr, Taintor, who bas been indicted for embezzling about four hundred thousand dollars, the property of the Atlantic Bank, will be called upon to plead. The Grand Jurv will be em- pannelied and charged, but beyond this it is not likely tkat any other criminal business will be trans- acted, as Judge Smalley is to continue the trial of a venue case that hasalready occupied several days, and the new temporary court room at 27 Chambers street is Not yet ready. There will, in all probability, be an ad- Journment of the Criminal Court for a week. John W. Norton, Superintendent ofthe Money Order Deparunent of the Post Office, who has been charged with embezzling $115,000, the property of the government, gave bail yesterday, before Commissioner Shields, in the sum of $10,000, Richard 8. Newcomb obtained yesterday, in the Su- Perior Court, before Judge Van Voorst, a verdict for $5,500 in an action for alleged slander against Samuel Hirsch. The two were formerly law partners. Judge Fancher yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, on application of Mr. Abe H. Hummel! granted a writof error in the case of Charles Moore, the alleged emigrant swindler, and now serving out a term in the Penitentiary under a verdict rendered in the Court of General Ses- sions. Application was made yesterday before Judge Fancher, at Supreme Court, Chambers, to postpone the sale of some of William M. Tweed’s uptown real estate purchases under foreclosure ot mortgage. The mortgages amount tosome three hundred thousand dollars and the sale has been ordered by the referee to take place within a few days. The application was urged on the ground that the Property would be sacrificed if sold now, and further, that the “Boss” was negotiating with capitalists to raise the money to pay off the mortgage. Judge Fancher de- nied the application and said the sale must proceed, A THIRTY YEARS’ LITIGATION. Curious and Interesting Suit—Wnat Came of Marrying an Actress—A Mil- Mion Dollars Worth of Central Park Lots the Bone of Legal Contention. Applied to the chancery practice of England, the suit of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce is not altogether a fanciful sketch. It is not very often, however, in this country, in which everything is pushed torward at hich-pressure speed that suits linger very long in the Courts. Occa- sionally there is an exception, and yesterday this was given by Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Spe- cial Term, a decision in a case which has been in litiga- tion for thirty years. FACTS OF THE CASE. On September 26, 1839, John Mason died in this city, owning real and personal estate, then valued at over one million dollars. He left eight children, among them James Mason. Some time before his death his son Jamer had offended him by marrying a Miss Wheatley, #0 actress, and he had settled him on a farm on Long Isbad, which was held in trust for him, and in his will le¢ him an annuity of $2,500 a year for life, with # remajsder to hischildren. Litigation was begun to set aside Mis will, and after the exhaustion of nearly every form of litiga- tion the will was finally broken, and James Mason was Geclared entitled to one-eighth of his father’s estate in 1856. This was the part allotted to him, iscludes ninety lots near what is now the Central Park, with other Fealestate. During his litigations Mr. James J. Ring was his counsel and his charges were in all sone one hundred @ad sixty-five thousand dollars. After @ settlement of their accounts Mr. Ring claimed and Yr. Mason conveyed to him forty-five of the ninety vts under what was claimed to be the old agreemen Soon atter this Mr- ‘Mason, who was then advised Oy Mr. Vone as his attor- mey, determined to recover a forty-five. lots. Shortly iter e commencemest of ie litigation Mr. Mason sent a retadcr to Mr. Cram, and, insu®ciency, suggested that he & share © the lots as his __ fee, would thue be contingent on success. After some demur, Mr, ¢rain agreed to accept one-third ot the Jots as his share, About this time (June 1, 1858) Mr. Mason, first wite having died, married Maria Louisa Mason, the plaintitt inshis suit, a minor, who would not react er majority yntil September 1, '1853, thus tying up his Teal estate, s¢ far as a sale was concerned, for over five 4 On examining the title ot the lots, Mr. Cram that hey were heavily encumbered with unpaid ao assessments, bearing heavy interest and en- ngering somewhat the property Itself.

Mr. Bell, the lawyer of Train, reiterated his former ar- gument, insisting that the indictment against Train was not valid on account of 1ts indefiniteness. Assistant District Attorney Lyons contended that the indictment was valid, and that there was no reason why the trial should not be proceeded with upon it. Judge Davis held that the indictment, although slightly defective aud badin form, could be remedied by a ver- dict, and that as Mr. Train had already pleaced to it, he ‘would try him on It-as it stood.

ANOUT THE CUSTODY OF A CHILD. James Hovey was arraigned on a charge ‘of contempt of Court, itappeared that some three years ago Mrs. Frank Clark gave her infant child to Mrs, Hovey to take care of, and that she now seeks to obtain possession of the cnild. Having obtained a writ ot habeas corpus di- recting Mr. Hovey to produce the child in Court, be, it on him,’ tore it up and id no attention to it. Judge Davis ordered Hovey. to be committed tor contempt of Court He had hardly given an order to this effect when Mrs. Hovey appeared on the scene and stoutly begged the release of her husband. She said she was romised $12 a week for taking care of the child, and that it was only just she should receive all that was due her before giving it up. Judge Davis told her she must bring the child into Court and he would then examine into the merits of the case. “He directed & Sheris deputy to go with the woman while she went aiter the child. Mrs. Hovey, with adeputy sheriff, ieft the court room, but returned in a few minutes, saying that the officer would not go with her, and that she was alraid if she Drought the child alone, its mother, who hid several row- dies outside to help her, would take it away from her. Judge Davis said ne would five her till to-day to pro- duce the child, and meantime he promisea that she should be protected in her rights. THE CASE OF PATRICK LEARY. Next was called'the caso of Patrick Leary. indicted for murder in killing his wite, M. Abe EH. Hummel said that his associate, Mr. Howe, was absent on legal nessin Albany, and he could not proceed with the tris in his absence. ' Judge Davis directed that a day be fix upon with the District Attorney tor the trial, and there being no further business the Court adjourned till this morning. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS.

Before Judge Joachimsen. Jones vs. O'Connor.—This was an action to recover $250 for architect’s services, claimed to have been performed in connection with additions and alterations to buildings 21 and 23 Third avenue, Brooklyn. A feature in the case ‘was presented during the course of the testimony which induced the Court to hold an agreement purporting to have been entered into between the parties for the pur- pose of sending it to the District Attorney for his action in the matter, The facts of the case were briefly these :— The plaintit swore that he contracted to draw up certa! lans and specifications of additions and alterations to be done to the premises iy question, and to-draw up similar papers as plans r the erection of a hotel the buitding of which he was to superintend as architect. For the former work he vas to receive $100, but the de- fendant extended his dign_ and additional work was thrown upon the plainsl. The latter while on the stand was shown @ paper hvaring his signature purporting to be a new agreement between the parties. The witness swore positively tat the signature was not his; that it ‘was am imitation 9! his handwriting, but a poor one at that. Subsequertly the defendant swore that it was the signature of thelaintiff, and the defendant's son swore he saw him si@ itin the presenes of the notary public whose signapre and seal it bore. In the words of Judge Joachimsen the paper was, consequently, either a tor- gery, supptted by perjury, or it was genmihe and sought fo be anvalidated by’ perjury. Vlaintif’s was a. subscribing witness to the paper, could mt swear whether he had subscribed to it in the presevce of the notary public or not, although that officitl perfected the instrament by his own signatu: andseal, the document itself was a “patched up’ affal ani bore evident signs of suspicion about it which could i 1e be explained away to the sausiaction of the Court or jury. The detendunt’s case was that the plaintiff had failed to finish his work within the specified time, and that he was always unprepared on the several occasions the detendantcaile4 upon him for the plans, &c. The Jaintiff, in contradiction of this, swore that he had yet wo weeks withia which to complete the work when the defendant ordered him to desist, and gave the work to another party. It was also contended for the defendant that he was not the principal, but the agent of the owners of the property in question. It was sworn by other wit- neasee ie the work executed, although unfinished, was wor . Judge Joachimsen, in charging the jury, said, with ref- erence to the argument in question :—" I? ‘such'an agree- ment was made by Jones, the plaintiff, that was the end of the case. But the contract is brought into court, and the proof with regard to itis, that the certificate to it was not Ronestly and truly made by the public officer by whom. it is purported to have been signed, while the paper itself bears other evidence that it is fraudulent, and that it never was mgned by the plainliff. Now, the defendant ia bound to show that the Instrument was signed, sealed and delivered by the plaintiff in the action. He ‘attempts to tnonts ocbetie "Part ot It was prépared in srooeiot ae ments of . o re} in n pastia New pocn eet Wentuneees and what ula itions were mi neither can say.

It ears the signature of @ notary public, with his seal, and it bears also @ revenue stamp; and yet neither the plaintiff nor his son can inform vou where. these were attached. On the other hand, itcannot be supposed for a moment that the plaintiff would sign such an agreement as that urports to be; for its conditions would be all against umself. If you are satisfied that this paper has becn tampered with, and therefore not a genuli Drought here to deceive you, you will dismiss it your consideration and give a Yerdict for the plaintiff. If on the other hand you believe that it comes before you in its purity, untampered with and unaltered, you will gre L-] defendant the benefit of it. Verdict for the plain notificstion Mr. Mason, being unable to raise money on his property owing to the minority ot ns wife, sug- igh Mr. Cone that Mr. Cram purchase the rty five lots.

NIXON AND HIS DOOM, How Nixon, the Murderer, Meets His Coming Fate=The Resignation and Religious Hope He Manifests—Devotion of His Wife—A Lack of Public Excite- ment as to the Execution on Friday. ‘The execution of Nixon is fixed for Friday morn- ing. His counsel, Mr. W. F. Howe, stil continues his unremitting exertions to obtain a stay of pro- ceedings, and yesterday, with associate counsel, he applied to Judge Ingalls, at Albany, for a stay of proceedings. He also has asked Governor Dix for a respite to enable an argument fora stay of proceedings to be heard in the Court of Oyer and Terminer in this city, No decision in either case has been arrived at yet. In the meantime Nixon, with a wisdom that ts very commendable, has resigned himself to his fate, and expects to die at the bands of the public executioner on Friday. Under the faithful and wise ministrations of Father Duranquet Nixon has passed out of the region of despair which so thoroughly surrounded him jor “several days after receiving his sentence into an unconditional resignation to the awful circum- stances in which he finds himself, This quiet calin- ness is manifestly traceable to his implicit trust in the faith of his Church, Religion, as mantiested in Catholicism, has lit up the valley and the shadow of death, and he walks toward the threshold with aconsciousness of hope that fears no evil. In- structed in all his religious duties by Father Du- ranquet he has been an apt and confiding son, and he has not now ior many days passed allowed his mind to be distracted by any other occupation than that ef reading religious books, He objects decidedly to professional in cerviews ; he has a hor- ror of Dew apeners and a wholesome dread of notoriety. le sees very few of his friends. His regular visitors are Father Duranguet and the Sisters o1 Mercy. His wife, of course, is in attend- ance every day upon him, and manifests the deepest solicitude for hiscomfort, The Scriptural aphorism, illustrative of the devotion of women, that finds its expression in “The last at the cross, the first at the sepulchre,” has its truthiuiness shown in the faitnful attendance of the wives of the murderers. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Simmons and her beautiful children, Mrs. King and Mrs, Nixon were in the Tombs Lf peal each of these doing all that their love could suggest to smooth the pathway to the grave whicn their re- spective husbands are fast roaching. The ofiicials at the Tombs are somewhat surprised at the apathy of the public in regard to the execution of Nixon. There is no excitement manifested, there are comparatively few applications for ad- mission to.the prison, and the day Srpcinied for the execution does not seem to be looked forward to with any of the public interest that generally sur- rounds these dread events. Nixon is attended night and day by two deputy sheriffs. On Thurs- day the gallows—that hideous wooden instrument of death—will be brought out and erected in the prison yard. Sheriff Brennan has made every ar- Fangement for carrying out the dread sentence of the law, and Under Sheriff Joel Stevens will, with his efficient staff o1 deputy sheriffs, be found equal to the solemn occasion. Nixon’s Last Hopes Fleeing. ALBANY, N, Y., May 13, 1873, Counsel for the man Nixon, wno is condemned to be hanged in New York on Friday, was before Judge Miller, at Hudson, for a stay of proceedings, but, failing, he came to this Ld and made his ap- lication this alternoon to Judge Grover in Cham- rs. No decision or action will, however, be ren- dered or taken to-night. LUIGI LUSIGNANI. The Last Hours of the Wife Murderer. MORRISTOWN, N. J., May 13, 1873, Luigi Lusignani, the Italian wife murderer, who to-morrow expiates his crime upon the gallows in Morristown, has developed another strange freak. A few days since he announced his intention of starving himself to death, so as to anticipate his execution, and with this purpose in view he steadily refused the food that was set before him. He adhered to his resolution for a day or two, but was so inconsistent as to drink quantities of Rhine wine and tea, which were supplied him by some of the inbabitants of Morristown, who sympathized with him in his unfortunate position. Lusignani soon tired of the starvation dodge, finding how pleasant it was to live perhaps, and has gone upon tne opposite tack. He has commenced to eat so ravenously that his meals are becoming too limited for him, although pe enough for any ordinary man in good ealth are furnished; but whether he is endeavor- ing to kill himself by gluttony, as he intended to do by starvation, cannot be ascertained, as he has Me no reason for his sudden increase of appe- ite. Since his incarceration he has been tl, dicted to profane language, and, sad to say, as is end bay agent this tendency is not in the least abated. His spiritual advisers are doing all in their power to prepare him for his fate, but hith- erto they have not met with much success, CRIME IN WILLIAMSBURG. Capture of Several Old Offenders on New Charges. Besides the large number of wealthy criminals who live in style in Williamsburg, but who practise their “profession” in more inviting fields, there is a large class of petty larceny thieves and sneaks who give considera- ble annoyance to families who cannot afford to keep a private watchman under pay. A batch of these, ar- rested by Detective Martin Short, of the Sixth pre- cinct, were fully committed for trial yesterday, by Justice Eames, on a charge of having com: mitted © burglary on Sundav morning at the cigar store of John Felton, Montrose avenue.
