Af THE COURTS. —EX-MAYOR HALL’S : TRIAL. Mr. Hall’s Address to the Court— No Postponement. fA JURY EMPANELLED. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. » Yesterday was a day of sensations in the Court of Oyer and Termiver, First came the rumor of ‘the escape of Genet irom the Sherifl’s ofcers who dad him in charge during the interval granted by the Court between nis convictionon Friday and Wehe sentence which awaited him yesterday, but which he did not wait for. Then followed the usualpreliminary proceedings on the indictments @gainst other Ring deraulters—Norton, Coman, Walsh and Miller—these gentry tailing to an- Swer to their names, but all represented by coun- sel, who made representations to the Court accord- fing to their several instructions in explanation of ‘the absence of their clients, in the hope of warding om for atime at least the consequences of their ight—the Jorieiture of their recognizances, Whe proceedings in the case of Genet and fhe other absconders are fully reported in @nother place. ‘nen in the same court followed the case of the people against ex-Mayor Hall, im which a deep interest is felt by all classes, but fa different order and degree jrom that mani- ested in the case of Tweed and others who have been lately tried and convicted in this court, Mr. all was early in atvendance in the court room, gnd a large number of friends, besides those who might be legitimately considered his counsel, Mr. Wanderpoel, Mr. Brown, Mr. J.C. T. Buckley ana Mr. Stoughton, were present. 1 was understood that Mr. Hall would conduct, as before, his own Hefence. | Mr. Tremain, after the settlement of the Ring matters, took his seat beside Judge Daniels, and B gentleman representing Mr. Hall was calied into consultation. After a rather prolonged talk Judge Daniels announced a recess for two hours. The counsel for the people said it was a question of ‘witnesses whether tne case should proceed. Just after the Judge’s announcement Andrew J. Garvey came in, When the Court reassembled Mr. Peck- ham and Mr. Tremain and Mr. Phelps were pres- ent. Mr. Vanderpoel and Mr. Dittenhoeffer were also present, occupying seats close to Mr. Hall. THE CASE OF MR. HALL. Mr. Peckham at once arose and moved the trial of Mr. Hall. ADDRESS TO THE COURT. Mr. Hall then rose ana proceeded to address the Court. He said:—It the Court please, on Thursday afternoon I received the following notice :— Hon A. Oaxey Harn. 4 FARK Bow, Dee. 18, 1873, Sin—I hereby give you notice that the trial of the in- peng against zou in the Court ot Oyer and Terminer, pon the trial of which the jury have heretofore dis- agreed, will be moved on Monday, the 22d inst. ours FRANCIS C. BARLOW, Attorney General. ‘The messenger who brought the note said that the Attorney General desired an answer, whereupon one was sent, of which the following is a copy :— 8r—I accept your notice and will be ready to meet you as I have heretofore been. Your obedient servant, A. OAKEY HALL. I understand the trial, in obedience to this notice, to be now moved by the representative of the At- torney General. Personally, sir, I am ready for trial, but I beg to submit some considerations to to the Court, both by way of explanation and ,Mlustration. As my learned friends on the other Bide know, I have been brought before two juries— Grst partially and second entirely—and I have ways bee 307) Xlons for trial that on one occasion Umaetetaen friends at considerable personal fmvonvenience. My only apology for ‘that was that son each of those’ occasions I held office a8 Mayor oO she city of New York, and it was@ publig scahdal for the. ‘or to remain thus indicted for official Wnisdemeanor without if guiity beilif convicted and vacating his office, or if innocent vindicating jimselt before his constituents. If the Court se, my learned iriends will perhaps re- he jact that at the last trial held the % by the aid of counsel, more Yor the commuonit; tha: for the 12 men I waS obliged to tace, because I have always considered that it was no release jor a man tobe acquitted by 12 jurors if he wag con. wicted by the moral sense of the community, and Shat it was nothing to be acquitted by 12 meni ‘the moral sense of the community was against him, and whatI sought by the last trial was to ppryad all the evidence belore my constituents. I we done that, and it would be affectation in me 0 Bay that having ceased to be Mayor; having, as [ think, placed the evidence in regard to that pub- lic scandal before the people, I am now as anxious for trial as I have hitherto been, and it would be equally affectation in me to deny that every ar- raignment of me before a jury is a social, domes- tic and professional preg and it would be equally affectation in me to deny that I had hoped that when a jury ina misdemeanor case disagreed—a jury that had been, as] know my friends will ad- mit, umampered with—regard would be had to the cardinal principle of common law, that no man should be convicted while there existed Breasouabie and rational doubt. For the first time ey pecrereonal liie I find a misdemeanor case which a doubt has been spread upon the record brought on for trial a second time. Now this is no * complaint. Iam personaliy ready, and it would be Affectation in me to deny that when I received this Notice it came upon me almost with the force of a thunderbolt. But I had my character and reputa- tion to deiend; and while ready then, as 1 am now, Adid not think at the time that ths is holiday ‘week and the next week holiday week; nor was I Bware Of the /act at the time that my counsel were absent from the city attending the obsequies of the late lamented Judge Nelson, and did not re- turn in time jor me to have an interview with them until Saturday night. 1 could not consult ‘with them on Sunday; I could not fly in the face Of that Providence who has so kindly taken care of me down to this moment, and on whose arm I rely to vindicaie my innocence, but if this case must goon as moved, according to the notice this week I shall go on, as I am prepared to do alone, by the aid of my partner—not only m:; partner, but my brother—brother in all but bloo relationship. My friends tell me this would be foolish. Perhaps so; perhaps not. Therefore I ad- dress these considerations to the Court. Hardships to me dre nothing. It is nothing that I surrender gay processional engagements at the close of the year. With my client, the present Sheriff, going put, and another Sheriil, my client, coe i, my time nas been taken up day and night. It is my duty to my family and friends to be ready, but I must present these considerations to the Court in rej to the gentlemen who counsel with me. Even if they are here 1 shall claim the privilege of mancuvring and conducting my own deience, for no man knows it better; but at the same time a man must rely to a great extent on his friends and hig counsel, and I*could not think of begging my Counsel to come here this ‘week. They have been with me twice at the atest professional sacrifice. These considera- ons I piace in the hands of the Court. Ii the Court thinks I should go on ior trial, personally lam Feady; but, at the same time, it is my duty to my friends and my counsel to submit these considera- tions,-and my counsel submitted another considera- tlon—which waa, that li any law questions arose in this case they were to be argued-in two weeks be- fore the General Teri oi the Court. I throw myself On the justice and consideration of the Court, and Shall abide its decision with the utmost satigac MR. TREMAIN'S REMARKS. Tremain repiied that ue sa no reason to he trial. A tisdemeanor stood on no difter- ting from any other crime, and the deiend- Himself betog personally ready, aud being him- Self an experienced Inwyer, and aided by such an able counsel as Mr. Vanderpoel, he saw no reason for deferring the case. Besides he had seen one of Mr. Hall's counsel to-day in the court. MR. VANDERPOEL'S REMARKS, Mr. aon ieee said it was well known that owing to his deep interest in the case he would take no active partin it. The Court and counsel knew how dangerous it was for aman to be hisown coungel. He could not prevent that; but the coun- Bel (or Mr. Hall had been surprised by this sudden Calling on of the case, and their immediate attend- ance would interiere most seriously with their en- Bagements. . Tremain replied briefly, Mr. Hail said he made this request not complain- ing of anything, but simply out of deference to the position of his counsei. For himself he desired ho adjournment. Court thought tnat tne notification was Mr. deli ent ant The suMctent, and as probably the eee of the jury would take some time, Mr. Hall had better oP his counsel. As 7 ouncerned the for. ir disagreement of the jury, he had no power, The District Attorney had not thought tt proper S peas & nolle prosequi, and he had no power eC. on Hall—So far as 1am concerned, I'm content.

Telation to the effect of an attaclinent against the p-oPcrty of a non resident debtor was rendered yosteran;. by Judge Brady. In cases, he says, where the judg- ment rests upon an attachment procedure and the defendant has never appeared and contested, it is to be treated to all intents and purposes as a mere proceeding in rem., and not as personally binding on the party ‘as a decree or judgment in personam, It only binds the property seizea or attached in the suits to the extent thereo!, and is in no just sense a decree or judgment binding on him beyond that property. (Story’s Conflict 01 Laws, 549, and cases cited.) The proceding rests upon the fact of the existence of property within the territory of the State, which constitutes a ye ground to en- force the rights of the plaintiff to the extent of subjecting such property to execution upon the judgment or decree. (Jbid.) It 18 well setttled, thereiore, that such a judgment is regarded as a proceeding in rem. merely. To consider it a ground of action per se would be contrary to the first prin- ciples of justice. (Pauling vs. Birds, executor, 13 John., rep. 206.) The pee in this action has acquired no osner right by his judgment than to Soret the property seized, and cannot avail nimself of the provisions of the ¢ode in reference to supplementary proceedings, He has no perso- nai judgment. The jurisdiction of this Court re- lated to and grew out of the property situate within this State, to be seized or attached, and ex- tends no further. The judgment recoré should be amended so as to show that it Is based on an at- tachment proceeding against the defendant as a non-resident _debror, and the universality of the rule stated (Story, supa, and Pauling vs. Birds, executor, also supra) willprotect him. Ordered ac- cordingly. Suit To Be Brought Against the City. Application was recently made by Mr. Breen on behalf of Martin McCabe, for a peremptory writ of mandamus against the Comptroller, directing pay- ment of $600 for cleaning the New Court House. An alternative writ was granted and return made yesterday that the alleged services were not ren- dered, Although Mr. Breen insisted on Spplying to the case the decision rendered by Judge Fancher in the Martin case, Judge Fancher dismissed the writ, holding that the remedy was by a civil action against the city.

BROOKLYN COURTS. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. One of Tweed’s Purchases—Liablility of the City ot New York. Refore Judge Gilbert. The Mahopac Manufacturing Company yesterday applied to Judge Gilbert for a mandamus com- pelling Commissioner of Pablic Works Van Nort, of New York, to acquire, on behalf of the city, the title to certain property, including Lakes Kirk and Mahopac, in Putnam county, which were purchased by Wm. M. Tweed while the latter was Commis- sioner of Public Works. It is charged that Tweed purchased the property without authority, for the stated purpose of increasing the water supply of New York. An act was sub. sequently passed by the Legislature, entitled “AN aot rovide a further supply of pure and wholeso! ow r jor the city of New York,” by which funds were to be provided to pay for the ayn Mr. Van Nort succeeded Tweed, and he company seck to compel him to acquire title. ‘The ‘akes were taken Passeasion of, but. the Com: Dany Wamndavit 82 Bsc. We KalbOewsoh, snggly ta A eB N i * £52 [sarge 9 of the company, was submitted, set forth ‘That in the month of January, 1569, the sai Mahopac Manufacturin, Company became, and ever since has been, the owner in fee simple of two pieces or parcels of land, known as the Red Mills. property, situate in the town of Carmel, in the county of Putnam, containing in all about seven acres of land; that at the same time the said company became the owner of the ex- clusive right to the waters of the two lakes in saia town of Carmel lymg adjacent to said tracts of land ‘and known as Lakes Kirk and Mahopac, to- gether with the lakes connected therewith and the streams running therefrom; that in or about the middie of Febeuary, 1868, deponent became the president of said company, and he continued such president down to about the 2d day of August, last past; that in the early part of the year 1870, deponent, at the request of then was the Commissioner of Public Works of the city of New York, had certain interviews and ne- otlations with the said Tweed relative to grant- ing to said city the right to use the waters o! said lakes to increase the supply of water for said city; that sald interviews and negotiations finally resulted in a proposition or agreement on the part of said company, which was assented to by said Tweed, that he should be permitted to enter upon and immediately take passession of said Lakes Mahopac and Kirk, and construct the necessary works lor connecting the same with the water mains of sald city, and use the waters of said lekes to increase the supply of water Jor said city, on condition that he, the said ‘Tweed, should, as such Commissioner, apply to whe Legislature for the passage of an act autiorizing him to purchase the said takes.’? The motion for a mandamus was opposed by Mr. Van Nort, that the city of New York is not re- sponsible for that which was done by Tweed in violation of law. Decision reserved, The Kelsey Case—Shall the Reward Be Paidt Before Judge Pratt. Ths town of Huntington offered a reward of $1,000 to any party or parties who should find the remains of the murdered Kelsey. Subsequently a portion of @ human body was found by Jonn Frank- lin and William Ludlow, and the Coroner’s jury determined that the remains were those of Kelsey. The finders claimed half of the reward, as only half of the body had been found. Yesterday an application waa made on behalf of the Sammis brothers for an injunction to pre- vent the payment of the reward on the grounds that the town meeting had no authority in itself to offer the reward; that the remains found were not parts of Kelsey's body: that the payment wold be an tn- terference with the course of justice, in that it was, as it were, a forejudgment of a point to be tried in the indictment against two partes charged with the murder, It was conceded by the other aide that the action of the town was illegal. The Supervisor declines also to pay the money. The Judge remarked that the Court could not restrain a man from doing what he had no inten- tion of doing. The applicants, however, insisted upon an in- junction. Counsel claimed that this affair obstructed justice by instilling prejudices in the minds of the residents of the venue where the case will be tried. Decision reserved. COURT OF SESSIONS. The Grand Jury—Sentences, Before Judge Moore. The Grand Jury appeared in Court yesterday morning and presented half a dozen indictments, Matthew Murphy, indicted for grand larceny, and Peter McCall, indicted for burglary, were sen- tenced to the Penitentiary—the former for three years and the latter for two years. Mary Gray was tried for the theft of a dress from Fanny Solomon, of No. 279 Columbia street. A plea of guilty of petit larceny was refused by the District Attorney. Mary was convicted of grand larceny and senienced to one year’s Luprison- ment. A SPLENDID SAMPLE ROOM sy; best location for doing a first stands and Stores. tore Agency, 77 Cedar street.
