4 THE COURTS. Dissolution of the New York Stock Mining Board. AN INSURANCE COMPANY MULCTED, ior Sureties Must Face the Music. In the war of the rebellion John J. Ritter, a minor, enlisted as 4 soldier in the army of the Wnion, With about 300 other soldiers he deserted yat Castle Garden. Not along ago ne was appre- | Mended and held by the military authorities for the ‘parpose of compelling him to serve out the full period for which he had enlisted. His triends tnen | gued out a writ of habeas corpus in the United \Btates District Court, before Judge Blatchtord, and wiaimed the discharge of Ritter on the ground that he was 4 minor at the time of his enlistment; but he Judge decided that the oath of the recruit that be was of age was entirely conclusive, and that Ritter, theretore, could not be discharged from the army. ‘Then the point was raised ‘that at the time of his enlistment Ritter was drunk end did not know what he was doing, and that, aor this reason, ne ought not any longer be sub- jected to military service. To this the government answers that Ritter is excluded from presenting a@ny such claim by reason of /dches, severai years having passed since the date o! his enlistment. Wpon this point Judge Blatchford bas not yet ren- | ered his decision, but will probably do so in the ‘course of a Jew days. Yesterday Marshal Fiske, of the Southern district ‘of New York, received an order from the Supreme Wourt of the United States i relation to the case ‘of Edward Lange, who had been convicted in the Waited States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, ‘of appropriating mail bags to his own use. “The order sets out the facts in relation to the Wentence, Ang been inquired into by the Supreme Court upon ‘the writ of habeas corpus, and full and due consider- tation having been had, the Court finds that the tm- prisonment of Lange, under the sentence of the Wircuit Court, was without any authority in law, ‘and tuat Lange, therefore, must be restored to his Viberty. Mr. Lange has been about three months m prison. The decision of the Supreme Court takes him a free man once more. The Superior Court, General Term, yesterday \gave an order that the January Special Term be extended until the frst Monday of April, for the determination of triais commenced during the last ‘term. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, New York Stock Mining Board Dissolved. m Before Judge Lawrence. \ The New York Stock Mining Board, which arose (into being daring the fush times of Colorado goid ‘Gnines and Nevada silver mountains and petroleum, ever-flowing oil and eternally dividend producing @he ‘wells, into and after which El Dorados the jeunesse | dorée of the metropolis rushed with an avidity that ba’ characterized no speculations since the Bays of the Dutch tulip mania or the South Sea bubble, has met with an ending as abrupt as its ning. During i's brief existence, however, it was the great E) Dorado or land of Ophir, as well of the staid banker as o! the head-levei Knickerbocker merchants, who used to wag their heads duhiousiy And put on long faces at the very mention of stocks br speculation, and of the over-confident but not vver-scrupulous clerk and cashier, wno imbibed the Inspiration of venture trom tueir elders. In short, the New York Stock Mining Board has dissolved. An application was made yesterday iu this Court by J. W. Gerard, Jr., on bebalf of certain members of the Board, for its tinal winding up and dissolu- tion, the action being conc’ stood, by all the other memb urplus of about $20,000 to divide, Judge Lawrence, on consent of Mr. Denton, representing the de- Tendants in the action, appointed Gilbert L. Haight, the tormer President, a receiver oi all the property Df the concern on giving security in the sum of 850,000, Whatever effects may come Into the hands of the receiver are to be distribated among the members of the association vy judgment of tue Court, aiter the payment of liabilities. Injunction Against the Stcinway Hall Proprictors. The Society for the Reformation of Juvenile De- Anquents, or rather doubtless its legal repre- sentatives, have discovered the fact that the pro. prietors of Steinway Hall have failed to procure a Iicense as a place of public amusement. As, under the act of May 22, 1872, the fiue, amounting to $250, Imposed on account of such failure, goes to the Bociety named, the discovery of this fact, pecu- niartly considered, is worth while. With a view to pbtataing the fine, and also to compel the procur- ing Of a license, application was made yesterday tm this Court for an injunction restraining the pro- prietors of Steinway Hail from catering to the public taste for amusements in almost any imagin- | ‘wble way, lecturing, though not specified, bemg tvidently about the only thing excepted. Lawrence granted the application, and the prob: ple result will, doubtless, be payment of a fine for | past offences and taking out a license lor the ature. Decisions.

One of ghe Sureties ef Genet Trying to Shirk His Bond, | Before Judge J, F. Daly. Mr. Charles Devlin was one of the unfortunate | bondsmen of Harry Genet. He became surety in the sum of $5,000 for Genet to appear and answer to another indictment than the one on which the | latter was recently tried and convicted, and a | {adgment for this amount was entered against nim, day by ex-Judge Cardozo to set aside this judg- ment, The ex-Judge made a lengthy and labored argument in the case, which was ull Very well, ex- cept that it failed of the desired result. Judge Daly held that, though the escape ol Genet was through the negiigence of the Sheriff, it did not impair or atfect the obligation of his surety to apprehend and produce him on the other indict. ment, As surety Mr. Deviin took all the risks of the case, and a8 Genet fuiled to appear be must pay the amount of his bond.

Bloomingdale vs. Retily.—The decision of the Court in this case, in which the plaintif claims the | right by law to continue the prosecution of a suit imstituted against the husband of the defendant in his lifetime, and his executrix, the executrix of the deceased, was rendered by Judge McAdam, who says:—Nineteen days after issue was joined herein the defendant died, and the present mo- tion is for leave to contipue the action against his widow, Who qualified as his executrix. The ex- ecutrix objects that this Court has no jurisdic- tion of an action against an executor or administrator as such. While this is true itis subject to this qualification, that if an action is brought, ana this Court properly requires jurisdic- tion thereo!, it 18 not divested by the death of either party aiterwards, but the action is to be ned by or against the representative of the s the cake May be, under section 121 of whieh section is a8 much applicable to @ Marine Court as to any ovher.

Before Judges Kulbrett, Morgan and Flammer. ‘The Judges constituting the Court of Speciai Ses- | Sions, acting in their capactty as an appellate court, devoted considerable time yesterday to hearingarguments from counsel on @ motion to modify or review a magistrate’s order made on the complaint of Mrs. Bridget Murphy against her nus- hand, James #. Murphy, @ detective oflicer, attached to the Eighth precinct. A year ago Mrs. Murphy obtained an order from Justice Ledwith, directiug an allowance of $28 monthly for her support and maintenance, tor which her husband gave bonds. He has, it was contended, faithiully complied with the terms of the order until the expiration of the period ior which it Was made. He now offers to provide for her a home in lieu of the pres- ent monthly stipend, but this she declines and has applied for a renewal of the previous order. Coun- sel claimed that under the statute a technical de- mand Was necessary and no such demand had been made. Opposing counsel replied at some length, | citing the statute itself and other authori- ee opposition. Mrs. Murphy is a ‘woman of about thirty years and ‘appeared | elegantly attired in @ black Silk dress, with veivet cloak and sable furs. bed and board of her spouse she retained th househoid furniture, as well as a bank book, vouching for a deposit of some $1,200, which still remains under her control. Counsel for the de- fence thought that with this provision she could | not lack much in the way of comforts. The mother- | in-law, however, aud Mrs. Murpay could not agree, | apd hence her demand for a separate maintenance instead of the home which her husband offered to provide. Without going into the merits, the Court adjourned for the purpose of passing upon the legal points raised by counsel. | What Constitates a Lottery. William Robinson was arraigned on the com- plaint of William Walling, charged with selling a | lottery ticket, value twenty-five cents. The com- plainant did not appear and counsel meved for a | dismissal of the complaint as defective on its face | im not specifying with precision and exactness the offence charged to have been committed. It falied to set forth, be argued, the name of the lot- | tery for which the ticket purported to have been | | issued, or that there was any sum of moncy or | Property the tle to which was determined by lot. He cited Criminal Procedure and a long array of decisions | from English and American reports, notably one | by Judge Bronson, to be found in Denio’s New | York Reports, which sustained this view and held | such allegations to be vitally essential to support an indictment or other crimmal proceeding. The Want Of it in this case Was, therefore, fatal, and he asked the prisoner’s discharge, The Court re- served its decision. Another Starving Man. Peter Collins was arraigned for stealing a num- | ber of brass ¢ocks from William A. Pitt. In miti- gation, he pleaded thathe hada wife and four children who Were starving. Judge Kilbreth—In view of the destitution of your family we will send you for three months to the Penitentiary. Tempering Jastice with Mercy. Shortly afterwards tour boys, ranging from seven to ten years, were arraigned for some trivial offence. Their mothers appeared to plead for leniency. Judges Morgan and Kilbreth were in- clined favorably towards them, but Judge Flam- mer was deaf to their appeais, and the questions poor women's eyes, Notwithstanding his objec tions, however, the judgment of his colleagues pre- vailed and the prisoners were discharged with a caution, TOMBS POLICE COURT.

Permit me to recom- mend the construction of a steam railroad, double track, built in the most substantial manner, suf- | ficiently strong to carry a fuil train of cars and vowertul locomotive. I would commence the road at the Harlem Bridge and build it along and over Second avenue to Houston street; thence from Houston street over Chrystie street to Division street; thence from che junction of Division and Chrystie stree 8, as hear a straight line as possible, — | avoiding the most valuable property on the line, to Fulton ferry. The track I propose is to be forty feet high irom the surface of the street; the frame work on the avenue to be constructed with ornamental iron arches, sixty feet apart, placed at the curbstone on each side of the avenue, which, being eighty feet wide, the arch of a true circle wouid be forty Jeet hugh, Then from Houston street 1 would place strong iron columns, twenty feet high, at the curbstone each side oi the street, sixty feet apart on said street from curb to curb; being about forty teet wide the arch from top of posts would be twenty feet high, making a true circle and be- ing on a Jevel with the arch on the avenue, Then 1 would propose to continue the double track trom the juaction of Chrystie and Division streets, in as straight a line as possible to Fulton ferry, having the depotover the roof of the Fulton Market. | The track would reqnire to be about sixteen | | fost wide over and through the houses to Chrysue street. The right of way over and through the buildings below Chrystie street could be obtained at a moderate outiay. The ratis could be laid as firm as at aby other part of the road, by iron posts corners. _'T work on Chrystie street and the arch work on the avenne could be made, with @ slight additional expense for iron work, to carry the heaviest train Of cars with pertect safety. The track should be | covered with thin boiler iron, curved at the bot- tom and extend up on each side five feet, and painted a light color. streets can be taken down, and lamps and wires placed on the columns and arches, The track being placed forty feet high can be made as safe as if built lower, and will not obstruct the view from the houses on either side of the street or avenue, nor will it occupy any of the roadway or interiere | with the horse railroads or frighten horses, as from the casing aroand the track, together with the height, the cars would scarcely be heard while passing along. Large easy stairs can be placed at the most available ptaces, connected on each side of the street by oridges to insure easy access to the cars. The sides oi the track could be so arranged as to prevent the train from doing pas- sengers any harm were it to run off the track. In view o1 the new bridge to Brookiyn and the projected Blackwell's Isiand Bridge, which will un- doubtedly be completed in @ iew years, the citi- zens of Long Island would have the road con- tinued over the island, and, in time, over the Har- lem riage, through Westchester county.

Shouid other eocieties reported be found in this ratio the amount expended must be greatly diminished. MATILDA ADAMS, Secretary. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
