The Ex-Sheriff and His Sleeping Deputy, Shields, Sent to Ludlow Street Jail for » Thirty Days’ Nap and to Pay a Fine of $250 Each, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. esterday the case of the Eagle Manufacturing Com- ‘pany, of Georsia, vs. Simeon Draper, was concluded in ‘the United States Circuit Court before Judge Nathaniel ‘Shipman and ajury. It was an action to recover $4,725. Whe value of 35 bales of cotton, and $2189 69 for the de- tention of the same, This cotton was sold in this city by ‘the defendant when he was acting as agent for the gov erament for the sale of property seized or abandoned in the South during the war; and it was claimed by the de- fence that the seizure and sale in question were made @uring the war. By direction of the Court the jury found & verdict for the plaintif, on the ground that the eotton had been seized in December, 1565, when neither ‘war nor martial law existed in the United States. The ‘ease of Mary E, Wright against the same defendant, ‘which is now on trial, involves a question similar to that Faised in the above cause. The government propose to eave to the jury to say whether at the date in question ‘Re rebellion had terminated. Asuit has Deen commenced in the United States Dis trict Court by the government to recover $2,500 penalty from Andrew J. White, for iadling.ag alleged, to stamp proprietary wedicines. Im the United States Cirenit Court yesterday Judge ‘Woodruff rendered a decision in the collision ease of the Bew Jersey Transportation Company against the pro- peller John Tyler. The decree of the Court below con- @emned the vesse], and the judgment of Judge Woodruf maintains that decree. Some time ago a man named George W. Smith, who ‘wae 4 Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue in the Morthern district of Mississippi, absconded, as is alleged ‘with some pabhe funds, to the amount of about $25,000, ‘end for this offence it appears that he has been indicted. He was arrested in Connecticut by one E, P. Haten, who Procecded to take him back to Mississippi; but, when ‘Whey got as far as Newark, Smith gave Hatch the slip in ‘the cars and managed to escape from him. On the 2th of August last Hatch represented the matter to Chief Beputy Marshal Kennedy, of this district, who detatled Deputy Robinson to look after Smith. Robinson, acting ‘under nis insiructions, went to several places and made fmeflectual searches for the accused; but finally he, in ‘company with Francis 4. Osgood, a chief of police, suc- feeded in capturing Smith the day betore yesterday at Budson, about 70 miles from Boston, and then prought ‘Bim on to New York. The alleged fugitive is now locked ‘pin Ludlow Street Jail, and inaday or two will be ‘taken back to Oxford, Miss., by Chief Deputy Marshal Kennedy and Deputy Robinson, there to await his trial @m the charge tnat has been preferred against him. ‘The case of ex-Sheriff Brennan and his late deputy, ‘Mbields, who were held legally accountable for the es- veape of Genet, was argued at considerable length yester- ‘Gay before Judge els, in the Court of Oyer and Ter- gainer, on a motion to panish them for contempt of Court ‘&m not conveying Genet to the City Prison after his con- ‘vietion. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Dan- ‘@els promptly meted out to the ex-oflicials the fullest penalty of the law—a fine of $250 each and 30 days’ im- ‘prisonment in Ludlow Street Jail Ata meeting yesterday of the Judges of the Superior @eurt Judge Monell was chosen Chief Justice. Having waiready served a term of 12 years on the Bench, the pose ‘tion fel) to him by rank as well as courtesy. THE BANKRUPTCY OF JAY COOKE & CO. ‘Their Dealings with the Government— Alleged Counterfeit Bonds. ‘Fhe United States in 1871 brought an action against Jay coke and others to recover the amount of 18 instra- ments. These purported to be 7-30 coupon notes vet the United States, with interest thereon, and ‘were, as alleged, presented to the Assistant Trea- q@urer of this city. This officer paid the amount of those bonds. The first count in the declaration ‘tated tnat the defendants were indebted for so ‘much money had and received to and for the use of ‘Mhe United States; that such mouvey was obtained upon ‘Bhe occasion of the defendants having delivered to the @Maintiffs therefor what purported to be a cer. tain obligation of the United States known as @ 730 note, with coupon attached, for the prin- cipal sum of $1,000 and $19 69 interest, which note was, ‘when received, belleved to be gennine. It is alleged hat the representations and inducements of the defend- ‘mute made at the time led the United States and their e@icers to receive the note as genuine. The Court also @leged that the note and coupon were counterfeit The cond count set up the terms usnal in actions of as- @umpsit. The plea was the general issue. This case has @ireacy undergone trial in tne United States District ‘Court, before Judge Blatchford, and the facts have veen uy reported in the Heratn. Judgment was rendered vor of the plaintiff on all the notes, the amount of h, including interest, was $23,690 At the trial it was contended that the notes whieh the ‘Plaintiffs paid had not been received from the detend- nis; thatif the plaintiffs did pay them they obtained thew trom somebody else besides the defendants. It.was gaid that the noies did not bear Jay Cooke & Co.'s en- dorsement, but the plaintiffs claimed that they had on ‘them & stamp or impression as follows :— “Paid to the Secretary of the Treasury for redemption. hat the 9 d with an adhe at the stamp was coveres an adhesive sub- stance, and stamped on the back of the notes in the place @entaining the words “pay to bearer.” ‘The case having gone against them, Jay Cooke & Co. sued out a writ of error in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Woodruff. Upon the argument of ‘Wis case yesterday Mr. Jonn E. Burrill, counsel for Jay Cooke & Co., made, among others, THE FOLLOWING POINTS. ‘The general rules that a payment made in counterfeit St forked notes may be rexarded as void, and that the mount paid may be recovered, do not #| where the Gastraments alleged to have been torged ‘purport to be the obligations of the party receiving them.

THE GENET ESCAPE. ——_+__—_ Ex-Sheriff Brennan and His Deputy Shields Called to Account—They Are Fined $250 Each and Sent to Jail for ‘Thirty Days=The Prisoners in Ludiow Street Jail. The troublesome phase connected with the eseape of y W. Genet, and regarding which there has Been so much talk and so many surmises of greatly ivergent character—that is, the disposition that would be made pf ex-Sheritt Brennan and his whilom deputy, Mr. Shields—has at iengih yoen settled. When the tugi- five “Prince Hal,” in his seven leagaed boots or other- ‘wise—for the Hrnaty will meet him at every step of Progress, even if he takes the wings of the morning and fies to the uttermost fot of the earth—reads the account of c Jadicial punishment meted out to ws indy gumiba, Sti probable that, like Marius at the ruins of carthage, dhe will fall into @ gravely meditative mood, and, as he Pufls away at his cigar, call down beuwone on thelr Deads and feel thankful that they got off so cheaply.

At half-past ten o'clock, ‘when the Court assembled, the room was crowded, as ft was well known that an effort would be made to dis. pose of the matter. Ex-Sheritf Brennan was promptly om hemd, taking his accustomed seat on the left ot the Judge's bench—the force of habit, per- Raps His late subordinate, Mr. Shields, was, Rowever, more modest and took a seat by his Mr. William ©.

Judge Daniels having to go into the General Term, the " UNG THE A) esvmi RGUMENT. - On the reassembling of the Court the room was again crowded, Mr. Brennan resuming his iormer seat and Mr. Shields lls Mr. Burrill resumed his argument, insisting that the Sheriff was not charged with any duty in respect to the execution of the so culled commitment. It was Not directed to the sheriff, was not delivered to or ceived by him and never passed through his office. 7 cireumstances under which the paper came into the pos- Session of Mr. Shields were stated in the affidavit, and im undertaking the execution of the warrant (if he did so) Shields did not act as one of the Sheriff's deputies or rep- Fesent or bind the Sheriff. Under the laws relating to the city of New York the Sheriff is not charged with the - eustody or control of criminals antil after judgment, and in’such case the duty in respect to them is restricted ‘the removal of prisoners to prisons outside of the city limits. The sheriff had not charge of the City Prison or the Penitentiary, or of any place in. which criminais are confined. In thia city the oiticers of the several Courts were appointed by the Court, and ‘Were not the appointees of the Sheriff nor in any way subject to his control. Byven if the Sherif was charged with any duty in respect to the prisoner he was not guilty of any omission of duty in vot taking him to the City Prisca, as he was not charged with execu:ing the com- mitment, and it was not directed to him. This tact itself showed that when the prisouer was placed in charge of Shields it was not for the purpose of taking bim wo the City Prison, but for some other purpose; because, if the object was io so take him, the paper would have to be delivered to some one else. also that it wag well understood by the prosecuting officer and by the prisoner and bis counsel that he was not to be confined in the City Prison, because, had it not been understood that placing him in charge of the Sheriff was tor some purpose other than actual confinement of the pris- oner there would have been no discussion on the subject. ‘This proceeding was for a contempt of the Court. nie insisted that from the facts set forth itwas clear that the Sheriff had not been guilty of any contempt and therejore that he was not liable to any punishment. The Sheriff had no legal custody or control of the prisoner. No charge of aiding the prisoner in his escape had been made against the Sheriff, or his good faith in any way impugned. As to Mr. Shields, he insisted that the same rules of law were applicable to him as to the Shenff. The papers did not show, he insisted, any wirul misconduct on the part of either Shields or Cahill, al- though against the latter, he believed, no proceedings us far been taken. Mr. Phelps in reply; recited the facts of the surrender i custody of Deputy sheriff Shields. Arter the verdict the prisoner was given over to Mr. Shields as Tepresentative of the Sherif, practice in these cares had been, exeept in habeas corpus cases, to conve’ oners from the court to the City Prison. = pris that there & possibility of an attempt made to rescue the prisoner; but, Pigeon 7 the Sheriff and the deputy assumed the ie ee Ex ol the risk to produce him in Court, which they failed to do, it was plain question, it required no citation or elaboration of the Court. The Sheriff had failed to com- ply with the order of the Courtand he must take the consequences. ‘Mr. Burrill wished the District Attorney to show him any statute making the Sheriff an officer of the Court. He mitted that the proposition of the District At- torney that the sheriff was bound to execute the com- mitment was not sustained. The District Attorney and his @ssistants well knew t! when Genet was delivered to shields ft was to prevent him being taken to the City Prison. This custom had grown up here. Judge Daniels said that if he had known that this was the practice, and that the object was to prevent taking po Song to prison, he would have broken it up then and there. Mr. Burrill said that he blamed no one for this state of things. He simply stated the tact as itexisted. When Genet was brought into courton Saturday morning the District Attorney and his officers well knew that Genet had not passed the night in the City Prison. Mr. 1 eine. interrupting. read an extract from the aftidavit of Mr. Allen, Assistant District Attorney, set- ting forth that he told Mr. Shieids, when he took charge of Genet, that he was to comply with the order of the Court and hand the — over to the custody of the Warden of the City Prison. Mr. Burrill insisted on his previous declaration, that it was well known at the time that Genet was not to go to the City Prison. ‘Judge Daniels said there was no essential difference as to the facts iu the case. He then recited the tacts as agreed upon on both sides. Coming to the order of com- mitment, he declared that nothing could be more sim- It’ told the officer the prisouer in to deliver him into the orp! of the ‘rison. This ae the plain man- is mnan, it was clear that when he gave to Mr. Shields the letter he had Teceived from the District Attorney, giving warning of a ry le attempt to rescue the pi , and did not then tell his deputy to take the prisoner forthwith to prison, thathe was himself responsible for the latter's safety. He, therefore, must regard Mr, Brennan as guilty of equal wiltnl negiect. It was not the intention ot the Court to allow the prisoner liberty to go where he . ractice subverted the ends of justice. fe felt it his duty to inflict the fullest penalty allowed by the statpte. THE SENTENCE IMPOSED. ‘The sentence was that each should pay @ fine of $250 ‘and be committed to jail tor 30 days. HOW THE SENTENCK WAS RECEIVED. it was very clear from the outset of Judge Daniels’ remarks that he would visit upon the accused the tull peualty of the law, and, therefore, none were surprised, gxcept that no severer Denalty could de Imposed. As for Mr. Brennan. he evinced no surprise, but chatted in his accustomed cordial manner. was evidently taken alittle aback. He turned pale at first, but soon rallied and assumed an easy, indifferent air,” The ex-Sheriff and his Jate deputy ‘were then removed from the court by Sheriff and his deputies. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES ClacUIT COURT. The Case of Benoni Howard—Alleged Counterfeiting. Before Judge Benedict, The case of Benoni!

Bradiey, who is charged with having committea acts ot alleged fraudulent bankruptcy, was resumed. Mr. Drake appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ethan Allen for the defence. Mr. Ethan Allen made a motion to reduce the bail of Hugo Hoffman, one of the witnesses for the prosecution. The bail had beep fixed at $10,000, and he maintainea that this was excessive and unreasonable, especially as the witness wi ady held under $5,000 on @ charge in the State Court. Mr. Drake spoke In opposition to the motion. Commissioner Betts. in view of the importance of the case, the pecuniary interests involved and the fact that the prosecution could not move a step without the te: mony of Hoffman, declined to reduce the bail, which did not deem unreasonable under the circumstances. ‘The case was then, by consent of counsel for both par- ties, adjourned for a week. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The College of the City of New York and Ite Funds. Before Judge Lawrence. Agreat deal of difficulty seems to ensue from the Comptroller having charge of the funds appropriated for the use of the College of the City of New York.

A Six Years’ Fight and Still Fighting. : Betore Judge Loew. Hamlet in his famous soliloquy would have dwelt a Uttle longer on ‘the law's delay” had he ever been the unfortunate victim of a Jawsuit, and it is not unlikely that the first promulgator of the “might makes right” doctrine made the discovery atter a long and worrying court litigation. This pretatory sentence is suggested by the retrial ot a case Just commenced in this Court, and which has already been in litigation for six years, and the tacts of which are already familiar to the readers of the Hxsaup law report. The plaintiff in the suit is Captain William Leech, and the detendants the Atlantic Mutual Insurince Company. Capiain Leech was captain of the packet ship, Pacquet de Zampico. In the early part ot 1867 whe suiled trom this city for Mexico. ‘the Gaptain hid away for safe keeping 2,473 Spanish doubloons under the stone balinst, this being money he had received ag advances for arms iurnished to the Hberal govermnent io Mexico. The vessel and cargo of mahogany, and this money he had insured in the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company. It is unnecessary to go-through ail the details of the voyage; how, on account of the action of a spy, they were obliged to throw overboard a new instalment of ammunitions _ of intended for the Mexican uberal governiient, and how | the vessel was searched, but the money not found. On the way back, while in the Gulf of Mexico, they met a heavy gale, the vessel became waterlogged, and they had to abandon her and take tothe small boat, which, tortu- nately, carried them safely to land, 40 miles disiant. On arriving here the company refused to pay the insur- ances and have been fightin tain Leech in the courts ever since. They allege fraud, conspiracy, and that the vessel was scuitled, Some time since tiie case ‘was partly tried, when the defendants withdrow a juror. It is possible the present trial will occupy several daya. On both sides there is a large array of counsel, Kesrs, Abbott, Fuller and Da Costa appearing for the plaintifis, and Yesers.

One portion ot the company had assembled, among whom was the defendant and another party named Frenchi, also a co-defendant in a criminal prosecution, before the party with whom the plaintiff was associated entered the saloon.

Maria Price, a middle aged woman, resiting in Forty- ninth street, near Seventh avenue, claimed $10,000 dam- ages trom Michael J. Bergen for an assault upon her. The plainuff’s statement was to the effect that on the Ist of August last the defendant chased @ colored boy into her house, and, while she was attempting to secure the little fellow from violence, Bergen beat and kicked her. The plaintff is quite deaf, and considerable ditticuity was experienced in taking her testimony. The defence was a general denial. he jury rendered @ verdict in (avor of plaintiff for All About a Basket of Cucumbers, Martin J. Reiners, a groceryman, brought suit against Jacob Vanderveer, a Long Island tarmer, for alleged slan- der. One day last August, while the latter was at Wash- ington Market, a basket of cucumbers was abstracted from his wagon, ana he subsequently charged the piain- tiff with having taken It. Reiners indignantly denied the trath of the accusation, whereagpon Vanderveer, as alieged. denounced him asa liar a thief, greatly to the edidcation of @ motley crowd of spectators. Hence e suit. The defendant denies using the language complained of, but admits having said that the man who took his basket ot cucumbers was as bad as a thief. Reiners in- sists that he had no talk whatever with Vanderveer as to the Coca siy while defendant asserts that the grocer came up to his wagon, inquired the price of them ‘and said ne would take the bavket. The property was delivered to himand he left without paying. On the following week Reiners appeared at the market, when he was accosted by the larmer. The grocer emphati- cally denies that he was the man who took the cuc: bers: it was another man, ‘Case on. CITY COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Suit on a Note—A Frivolous Demurrer Set Aside.
