Visit of the Grand Jury to the Public Institutions, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. ‘There was another long argument yesterday, be- fore Judge Brady, on the application on behalf of Mr. Tracy, late Warden of the Ludiow Street Jail, | for 4 mandamus directing the County Auditor to examine and andit his vouchers and the Comp- troiier to approve. Judge Brady took the papers, zeserving his decision, Yesterday Martin Seco was held by Commis- gioner Shields to await the action of the Grand dury to answer @ charge of selling unstamped cigars. Joab Lawrence, arrested on a requisition from the Governor of Michigan, was before Judge Brady sgain, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yester- @ay. The Court sustained the District Attorney’s Gemurrer both on the merits and on the question Of res adjudicata, and the prisoner was remanded tothe Tombs. Later in the day counsel for Mr. Lawrence took out a writ of certiorari to have Judge Brady's decision in the case reviewed before the Generai Term, and meantime Mr. Lawrence remains at the Hoffman House, in the Sherif’s custody, Judge Lawrence, fn Supreme Court, Chambers, granted an attachment yesterday against the property of Isaac Taylor, on a suit brought by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to recover $25,000 alleged to have been borrowed !rom the company. ‘The attachment was granted on the ground of Mr. Taylor being a non-resident.

Visit of the Grand Jury and Their Ree- ommendations, Before Judge Brady. Shortly after the meeting of the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday morning, Judge Brady on the bench, the Grand Jury handed in a present- ment at the conclusion of their labors. Judge Brady thanked them, and said they had done good service to the State. The presentment showed that their brains had been employed, He was giad that their visits to the ibuic institu- tions were satisfactory, as dou! ere eXx- pressed as to whether sme 4 Were in a proper condition. He was glad to hear that there were theatrical exhibitions given tn the institutions re- Jerred to, and he approved of their sug; that persons discharged from the Island be em- ployed. ‘The following ia the presentment as made by the Grand Jury in the Oyer and Terminer Court this morning :— PRESENTMENT OF THR GRAND JURY. “The Grand Jury left this city on the 20th day of January, 1874, at ten A. M., and visited the various Institutions ‘on Bisckweivrs Island—to wit, the uo yinm orkhouse, Penitentiary and Charity Hospital, “AG the Lunatic Asylum we were informed that Magic lantern exhibitions were given in the even- ings, algo theatricals, to amuse the patients, which we deem an excellent and most benefictal method of recreation, and the adoption of which in other institutions we would earnestly recom- mend, Upon our returm to the city we visited ‘The English actress, Miss Ada Dyas, and present i] “leading lady” at the Fitth Avenue Theatre, had | hardly stepped out of her hotel succeeding her re- | eent arrival in this city, when her pocketbook was | snatched {rom her hand. She made @ good run | After the thief, and had she come up with him | would doubtless bave made a “hit.” The story 1s | already @ familiar one to the readers of the | HERALD, and it is unnecessary to repeat all | the details, One thing was certain—Miss Dyas followed her “cue” well, and did uot let the fleeing @ culprit escape her vigilant eyes until he was safely im the hands of @ policeman. A singular circum- stance in connection with the affair was the arrest at the time by another policeman of two young men supposed to be accomplices of the robber and the surrencer of the pocketbook by one of these | young men, who gave the rather significantly sug- gestive name of Doolady. It was evidently his in- | tention to do Miss Dyas out of her money, but the | rules of the drama interposed a counterplot to this side piece of villany, and in addition to this not only restored the pocketbook to its rightful owner, but meted out just punishment to the leading vil- Jain. 4 YOUTHFUL RENEGADE. This leading villian proved to be a young man in Years but old in crime. He gave his name before the committing magistrate as Horatio Raymond; maid he was studying constitutional law; fervently Protested his tnnocence of the crime and implored ‘Miss Dyas not vo press the charge against him. The youth of the culprit, his éresh, boyish face, his re- Mned manners and elegant culture, surpassing ‘that of ordinary youths of his age, very mearly availed to ‘let him go as the imno- eent victim, as Mark Meddie says, ot “@ con- catenation of circumstances that certainly look curious.” But Miss Dyas did press the charge, and the result was his arraignment yesterday for trial dm the Court of yer and Terminer, before Judge Brady. Uccupying a feet by the side of Judge Brady was Recorder H ett, The court room ‘Was crowded, and there bas rarely been @ tria! in thus Court ihe proceedings of whieh were listened to with more earnest attention. Miss Dyas, who Was accompanied by her father, was escorted into the court room by her counsel, A. Oakey Halt, and, of course, was the cynosure of every eye. District Attorney Pheips and Assistant District attorney Lyon conducted the prosecution, and Mr. William F. Kintzing appeared for the prisoner. THE STORY OF MISS DYAS, Miss Dyas told her story with no show of embar- | Tassment and in @ clear voice, showing conciu- | sively that amid other accomplishments o! her pro- | Jession she had acquired the art of talking so a8 to heard and understood. She said: she was on Fourth avenue, walking toward the Clarendon Hotel, when the prisoner passed her and snatched from her hand her pocketbook, contaiming $10, an Engiist sovereign, a penetl case, worth $5, and a ticket for the Fiith Avenue Theatre. She called “Stop thiei'”’ and the prisoner ran down Kigh- teenth street to lrving place and hid in an area, where Officet Seaver found him. She iden‘thed nim when the oficer brought sim to hey. At tl conclusion of her testimony she was handed a c next to the District Attorney, and remained ti throughout the trial, PLIGHT AND CaPTCRR. Oticer Seaver explained his pursuit and arrest Of the prisoner; how he found him behind a barrel re im the front urea of a house tn Irving place; how the latter said be lived in the house and apon this donocent dodge sought to remove trom himself Suspicion Of any counection with tue robbery.

The defence was that the goods were the prop- erty of Laenger, and that bejore the sale to ihe Plaintu? the defendant had made a levy upon the goods, and that Laenger carried on the bosiness and traded in his owg name, The levy out of which the action accrues was not made until February 20, 1873, but Was explained by defendant as @ renewal, The first levy he conld hot prove by competent evidence, owing to tue non-production of the original execation.

Before Judge Pratt. The Circuit Court room, spacious apartment as 1t is, ig not nearly large enough to accommodate the people who sought and obtained entrance yesterday to witness the proceedings in the Ham- mond-Dean breach of promise suit. The room was crowded some tme before Judge Pratt ap- peared on the bench, The space within the rail was literaily packed, and even the en- closure of the judicial bench was invaded. There was @ very large representation of the Bar present, It seemed as if nearly every lawyer about the City Hall who had no business in the other courts came into the Circuit to listen to the estimony and speculate as to the PROBABLE RESULT OF THE TRIAL, ‘There were a number of city officials also present, Corporation Counsel De Witt took a seat beside Judge Pratt during a portion of the proceedings. The gallery was filled by the motley crowd which usually assembles on the occasion of the trial of a murder ora scandal case. The people above stairs appeared to hugely enjoy the proceedings yester- day, and frequently manifested their approval of the “points” made by counsel by hearty applanse. ‘This was especially the case during the summing up tor the plaintiff by ex-Judge Oardozo. Judge Pratt, however, checked as far as possible any demonstration on the part of the enthuslastia gallery. Probably THE MOST NERVOUS MAN in the room was Mr. William M. Dean, the defend- ant. He acted very uneasily and twisted himself about in lits chair whenever the laugh was turned upon him. He did not at all relish the disclosures which were being made touching his strange courtship and subsequent conduct, and a sigh of relief escaped him when, after the charge of Judge Pratt, the jury retired, and the attention of the spectators was to a great extent withdrawn from him to other objects, He was attended by bis, jatber, a gray-haired gentleman, with whom he occasio: conversed, . MISS HAMMOND, the fatr defendant, attracted her share of atten- tuon., She was neatly attired, and certainiy de- served the compliment of her counsel when he called her pretty. She was surrounded py her mother and other reiatives, and was 80 a! d several times during the proceedings that she hid her face in her hands and presumably wept, THE PROCEEDINGS. At the opening o the proceedings Mr. Millard, for the delence, moved Jor a dismissal of the com- plaint, on the ground that the action had been prematurely brought, The Court denied the mo- tion, Counsel then led to open the case for the deience, DEAN'S STORY. Mr. Dean was the first witness examined, and in the opening part of his testimony he said he was worth $1,500 only. He then narrated the circum- stances of bis forming the acquaintance of the plaintiff, and said that on the occasion ol their first meeting she asked him to take herriding. He then continued ;—I visited her about every other night; ibe firs ae ess ova Bd discussed me ay larch; I was tal ig away in the monow ofJaly; nese hapraond sanete herselt back with her hands to ber face and said, “MARRY ME AND I’LL GO WITH YOU; I said I had been thwking about it myseif; the next I was on the stoop of Noe’s house and isaac sald, “So you are going to marry my cousin Jeanette ;” I told him 1 was going to marry her on the 3d of July; i asked her whether i hadnt better see her parents; she said no, her mother would be down in a day or two; next time I saw her she said she had written, asking her mother to come down; 1 saw her mother the. day abe came; Igaid pains her about the ott tl Jeanette asked me why I hadn’t spoken to her mother; I spoke to her the next time I saw her; I said, of indifference to her whether she married the de- os or not, ee a ae verdict senna ie oe lendansy injustice, culty that attended ons cases of this kind to prove the contract did not far in this case, the con- tract waz admitted; it was admitted that the | First romise Was made and the appropriate prepara, jons were le for consummating it on the 3d of duly, The great issue which the jury were to de- termine was as to whether there been any jus- tiflable breach of this contract, and if Sey found that there tye been such an_unjusti- flable breach, then they would fix the amount of aamages they would render by their verdict, Now it was claimed on the part of the defence that the defendant was im pig ny 3 the engage- ment. It was alleged also by the defendant that the marriage was postponed by the consent of lant, and Judge Pratt said it would be well lor the jury first to consider whether there had been any postponement which the law could regard aa 8 tponement by the consent of both par- tes. The plainti dented that she consented to any postponement. The jury would examine all the facta and circumstances and say whether there had been @ postponement by consent of plaintid, because, as @ matter of law. if the day was fixe for the mi and there was no postponement by Sanne both parties, then there was @ reac upon that day aud a cause of action accrued, and’ the piatatitr would be entitled to recover such damages as the jury should see fit to award, It was claimed in the answer— and the jury could consider this first, a8 & matter of justification and then as a matter of mitigation of damages—that the plaintiff made certain statements to the defendant in regard to the condition of her famity, which he afterwards ascertained to be untrue. It was for the jury to say, from the evidence, whether she made any Tepresentations or uot, and, if she did, what those Fepresensamons were, Decaise in order to consti- wate any justification by this defendant they Must have been representations made with intent to deceive cefendant, and upon which he rehed in mak this promise, They Must be representations material to. the matter which they then had in hand. ‘The plaintiff denied haying made any representations, aud stated here what she said took place in regard to these con- Yersations 1n relation to her {umily. He also de- tailed what he understood her to say. Before any Tepresentations of that kind could constitute any deience as 4 justification for his breach of the con- tract the jury must find specifically what represen- tations, Mf any, were made by her with intent to deceive. There was no claim here that this nement was on account of any want character on the part of plaintiff. Judge Pratt then instructed the jury to consider the question of whether the plaintif? loved defend- ant at any time d this engagement and that was ®& matter could best be determined pen: by taking the evidence of the parties, ‘hey must consider all this and then say, as sensible men, whether or not this matter wouid have pro- ceeded tothe extent it did if there had been such &@ want of affection on ae pare of plaintiff as had been claimed by defendant. Now, as to the matter damages, this action was founded in upon a8 contract, but when @ case comes to be submitted to a jury and they shal) say tuat an unjustifiable breach of a contract of this kind has been committed, then it partook of the nature of an action founded upon Wrong, what tne law terms an action tn tort, and wiae discretion 18 left to the jury in determin: nsate the party which they shall en Wrenged by the breach com- ined of and proved. In order that there might dispute, . | what would com) ae rie had fe no the Judge read the rule ‘aking of vindictive dam- said that if there was case that satisfied the jury had intentionally libejled the plaintiff or slandered her, why, then, it would be competent for them to give vindictive damages, Unless they were so satisfied they would not give yingiegye damages, In conclusion, Judge Pratt ‘old the ju x to consider as the three elements of | the case, whether there was a justifiable breach of | contract; whether the plaintiil’s affections were implicated and injured and she had become at- tached to the defendan tion and pain of mind she had rulfered by the re- fusal of the defendant to fulfil nis promise, THB VERDICT, ‘The jury remained out nearly an hour, when they rye ee with a verdict in Javor of planus for ‘The announcement was received with applause.

In opening the case Voroner Keasler said thatha would only call those who,had been eye-witnesses tw the fire, and that others who had been gub- penaed could retire, as they would not be called until to-day at one o’clock. After the jury roll call the deposition of Mary, McGuire, the domestic who jumped out of the win= dow and who died on Tuesday at Bellevae Hos« pital of the injuries thus received, was read. 16 stated that deponent gut up about half-past five A.M., and, after putting on some of her clothea,, went to the entry with the half-formed intention of waking the other gir. .That when she got to the entry she discovered the fre and screamed and ran down stairs, how many fights she did now know. She had no recollection of what happened! after she left the top floor of the burned honsa until she ound herself in the hospital. She had heard no talk of a defective flue, and, to the best off her knowledge, there was none in the house. The next witness’ testimony does not exactly conflict with, but differs in some small detatis from, thatof the unfortunate Mary. W188 JENNIE EAPEI, of No. Tvavenue'D, was nextsworn, The gist of her testimony will be found in the following:—B came to the house of the Stiners the night before the fire;stayed up unt about nine o'clock with Mary McGuire and another girl; when we retired. went to sleep m a room on the top’ floor, next tol the one occupied by Mary; between five and si o'clock the next morning Mary called me; 1t waa rather dark and I went to the entry, where Mary told me to stand until she got alight for us to gai down stairs; when Mary had veen gone a few seo4 onds I smelied fire and smoke, but I thought it wasi | the smeil of the match that Mary was lght- ing the gas with; did not know the hous having gone into it only the night before ; I notice & brilliant light under the stairs, and, looking) over, 1 eaw that the piace was on fire; | called for!

It was his business to take charge Oo! the fires, ea- pecially the large ter im the cellar, whic heated the house. He said he was hired as butle: twelve days previons to the occurrence of the fire, and onthe night previous to the fire had draw! the cinders frum the grate and placed them neal an old tea box, in which cinders had been a posited previous to his advent in the house; 0! the morning of the fire he was awakened by what sounded to him like laughter; when fally awake bh realized that the noise was the shrieks of women he opened the door 0: his room and discovered tha’ the staircase was in flames; he noticed little or na smoke, but the blaze was Very bright; seeing escap: ‘was impossible by means of the stairs be opene his window and got on the outside; he then pu down both the windows, and, standing on them, he managed to get his feet on the top of tha blinds, from where he reached up and canght hold of the cornice of the house and drew niniself up to the roof; on the roof he discovered a pjece of, stick, with which he knocked at the cook’s win- dow and at the windows of the other girls; while, doing this he saw miss Florry Stiner on the roof oi the bay window and her brother Joseph in the yard telling ber to leap into his arms; he called out to Joseph not to advise his sister to jump, but to go and get @ rope, that she might be ri a ta the root or let down to the ground; he wad all this time in his naked askin, with< out a stitch of clothing of any ey upon bim; seeing that his advice wi noe ikl to,be heeded, and, feeiing cold, he got up irom his position on the roofand was going ta the {rout of the house, when the glass in the sky< light broke and flames aud smoke issued forth knowing from this imdication that the fire wag eating away the roof, he rau to the next roof, ta the west, and asked admivtance of a young lady whom he saw atone of the windows; to use hig own expression, she answered his petition with “No, indeed, 171 not—go away;” he then went to the hext house and was adnfitved, and a suit of clothes given to him ; he had formed an tdea about the way the fire started ; it was that possibly some of the Cinders he had left near the tea box had ignited it and thus caused the conflagration; did not know there was any defective flue in the house, although he noticed spots on the walls of the house were very hot at times, After Schulz’s testimony was taken and signed by him JOSEPH JACOB STINER Was called to the stand. He is the son of Mr. Jacob Stiner, deceased. He says that about six o’clock on the morning of the fire he heard a. noise on the third floor, where his room was; this noise woke him, and inaiew minutes he heard shrieks; he opened the door vi his room, which was on the entry at the head of tne third stair- case; when he opened the at the Names and smoke came intoms yom; he shit the door, put, on bis pants and went to the window and looked out; saw bis father and sister on tné roof of the: bay window; he told them to look out, he was: going to leap; his father and sister stood wide apart, 60 as vO give him room to land on the rool; he Jumped and when he got to the roof, all three began to cry ‘“‘Fire) Fire!” He toid nis tather to remain quiet forafew moments and they would be saved; the next moment he noticed his father stretchil out bis hands to grasp the tin leader jor carrying the water from the roof; he missed his grasp and fell on thé fence and over into the. ches yard, where he was found; witness succeeded in @scaping by the same means as his father es- sayed. After the narration of Lrg § minor details, to how his sister was saved Mr. Bolmer,. whose testimony will be found , witness states that the Sunday week before ‘the fire his family were terribiy frightened by the dense volume of smoke that filled the house; ng the house to be on fire, they by ht witness! mother to whe hail door, where she could easily escape, and then went down stairs to see what was the matter; when witness and his bromer-ia. law got got down stairs they saw great volumes of smoke ‘ssuing from, the wainscoting, bat it seemed to them that the fire was in the next house ; they sent the nurse in to find out what was the matter, and Mr. J, Bwens, the occapant, said that they were only kindling @ fire in their grate; ‘wit~ ness knew of no defective fueand bad none “Ke OF en, season, 8 ROH eee Beyond the fact vbay He saw ME Was then calle yous ‘.
