KING SENTENCED. : — Amprisonment for Lire in the State Prison—He Receives the Sentence Without Any Emotion, | There was a large crowd in the Court of Oyer | and Terminer yesterday morning—Judge Brady on | the bench—to hear the sentence passed upon James C. King, convicted of murder in the second | degree (or killing Anthony F. O’Nell. On his way | to the court room, accompanied by William F, | Howe, one of his counsel, he toid the latter that he did not care for the conviction, as he felt confident { that on a reviewal of it upon a bill pf exceptions | the judgment would be reversed. As he took his | seat he showed the same indigerence that has | characterized him throughout the trial Though the cynosure of every eye, he did not quail for a moment during the trying ordeal. Ex-Judge Beach, bis senior counsel, rose and aiG:—Your Honor, I am instructed by Mr. King to apprise the Court that he intends to present a bill of exceptions, for the purpose of reviewing this trial, and to ask that you continue the session of this Court to enable nim to prepare his bill. With | regard to the result of the trial I nave no observa- tion to make—nothing to say to Your Honor. I Suppose it will take the stenographer @ week to | transcribe his notes and the counsel to prepare | the bill, and to do so with the utmost expedition. | I feel ic due to myself to say that, although there | are legal questions presented on the trial worthy | of review by the Court of Appeals, I shall have no | further connection with this case. District Attorney Phelps said he saw no obdjec- | tion to prolonging the session, but there was no | mecessity (or deferring sentence. Judge Brady—l think it better to proceed to Judgment this morning. The Court will be con- tinued to give time for the bill of exceptions. The prisoner was then ordered to stand up, and | ‘the usual questions were put by the Clerk. King | said bis age is thirty-ve, When asked ir he ever Jearned any mechanical trade he shook his head. His last place of residence was seventeenth street; | ‘when asked the number he shook his head, and | when asked whether he had anything to say he @hvok bis head and muttered “Nothing.” THE SENTENCE. Judge Brady then proceeded to sentence the risoner as iolows:—‘‘James C. King, you have en tried by as intelligent, conscientious and | honorable jury, in my judgment, as any lever saw. | They have rejected your plea of insauity. They be- lueved that you were sane when you did the ter- mible deed for wnich you bave been tried, and they have spared your life that you may atone jorit and | repent of that enormous crime. it is not for me to | weil on its character, for you are @ man of intelli- geuce and culture, and understand it as well as I or any person in the community. It 13 a melan- | choly spectacle, @ person of your mtelligence in euch a position. There is nothing of mitigation in your case, and the Court will impose the severest | Penalty of the law, Your sentence is that you be | confined to State Prison, with hard labor, for the term of your natural itie.” | i } | Ju | tather, mother, guardian or wi'e a: | 1867, providing for King did not wove @ muscle or betray the slight- est symptom of emotion.

An Effort to Effect His Removal from the Penitentiary to Ludlow Street Jail—Alleged Variation Between Judge Davis’ Charge and the Commitment. Since the incarceration of Wiliam M. Tweed in the Penitentiary, dating back to the 20th of last November, the great ¢X-magnate of the once pow- | erful city f 125 snosided into a silence as pro- found as th epest Lethean slumber. Once more his case, however, has been revived in the courts. it comes up in a very quiet, though not wholly un- demonstrative, way. Itis not an ambitious effort to secure Lim his ireedom, but simply to secure his. transfer from the chilling inhospitalities of Black- Weil's Island to the more genial latitude of Ladiow Street Jail. His counsel n- | sist hat, inasmuch as the sentence of | Judge Davis called for his commitment to | the County Jail, placing him im the Penitentiary | on Blackwell's Isiand was an unwarranted | Stretch of legal power, Having procured the mecessary upon which to proceed, a motion | to this edect was made ye the Court of Over and rday on his behalf in Terminer, before Judge Brady. All of the counsel engaged by Mr. Tweed im his trial were present—Messrs, John Graham, ex-Judge Fullerton, Willard Bartlett, William 0.

This suggestion Was at once accepted, and the further hearing in the case postponed till Mougay, | to allow Mr. Sparks to put in his affidavit. | UNLICENSED LIQUOR DEALERS. | Power to Recover Penalties for Selling | Liquors without License—Important | Decision by Judge Robinson. The Board of Commissiouers of Excise have | broaght @ great number of suits against liquor dealers to recover penalties for selling liquors with- eut license, The defendants, through ex-Judge Cardozo, their counsel, demurred to the complaint, and raised the point that the Board under the ex- | isting statutes have no authority to sue for penal- ties. One of the suits brought against L W, Dubois was selected as a test case, and the demurrer was argued before Judge Robinson, of the Common Pleas, by defendant’s counsel. The objection taken has been sustained by the Court, as will be seen by the following opinion given yesterday :— | OPINION OF JUDGE ROBINSON, This action is brought to recover penaities imposed by the act passed April 16, 1557 (chapler 623, Laws of 1857, volume 2, 405), entitled’ ‘An act to suppress intemper: ance and to régulaée the sale of intoxicating liquors.” As amended or altered by the act of April 11, 1570, chapier, 175, the act ot April 21, 1873, chapter 249, and of May 21, is7i, chapter O49 (Laws of 1573, p. p. 376, 859), sectivns s, 14,15, 17, x 2’ and 29, of the act ot us penal and forfeitures for thereby — prohibite By section 2 it 1s enacied, “The penalties imposed by this act, except ine penalties ior by sections 8, 15 and 19, shall be sued tor and recovered in the name ofthe Board of Commissioners of Excise, and paid over to the Treasurer of the county for the ‘support of the poor of the county.” The penalty imposed by section 3 was to be sued for by the overseers of the poor; and those by sections 15 and 19 by the private parties, master, grieved. By’ section wit Was provided that im case the person of persons whose duty it was to prosecute tor such penalties should neglect to do so for ten days afier complaint to them of any Violations of | tne | provisions” of | the act accompanied by reasonable proot of the same, then auy other person might prosecute the same in the name of the Board of Commissioners ot Ext se two sections were amended by the actor June 25, 1873, chapter, 820, Laws of 1873p. 1,234, by section of Which section 22 of the act of 1857 Was ‘amended so as to read as follows:—Section 2 The penalties imposed by this act, except those provided for by sections 15 and | 19, shall be sued for and recovered ina civil action in | the manner provided by law for the recovery of penal. tes by and in the pame of the oversee: the town in which the alleged penalty was incurred, and the amount so recovered when collected, together with ail the costs of the proceedings tor such recovery and collection shall within thirty days after such collection be paid by the officer (or party receiving the same e to the County Treasurer of the oounty for the support of the poor of such county, except as is other- wise provided by law.” By section 2 of the same act a corresponding change is made in section 38 of the act of e prosecution of an action in the case there provided for by a third partyin the name of the overseers of the town in which the penalty was in- curred. Such amended section took the place in the act of 1867 of those originally enacted, which thereby were repealed and ceased to exist, and the Board of Commis- stoners ot Excise were deprived of any authority to maintain an action for any of the by enalties impose: ted with uo authority to sue Capacity. “itis unnecessary | purposes of the —qiiestion presented to intimate any — opinion. Whether the effect | of these amendments was to prevent the enforcement | or collection of such penalties by any officer of this | county, or otherwise. as the absence of any such guthority in the plaintifts is decisive of the present issues. Even if this be the consequence of tie alteration of the statute, and the Legislature, through oversight, has by imposition, accident or oversight intertered with the power of enforeitg the penalties of the act In this county, their will, as zeny must prevail, and this Court cannot by _udicial legislation remedy ‘tne difficulty or | Tegard considerations arising ab inconveniente, so as to affect the ordinary rules of construction of a statute. The complaint in this case assuines to state two CAUSES OF ACTION: the first: to recover the penalty imposed by the thir- teenth section ot the act of 1557, for selling spirituous | Nquors withont license im quantties less than five xal- lons; and the second for that imposed by section 14; | or selliug upon defendant's premises without any license. Each statement of a cause of action alleges that by the twenty-second section of the act of 187 it was provided that the penalties imposed should be sued for and recovered by the plaintiffs; but they wholly ig: nore the provisions of chapter 84 of the act ot 1873. To this complaint the defendapt has demurred, stating for cause ot demurrer—frst, that plaintitty have no legal to sue; second, that there is a defect of parties i ; third, that several causes of action have been Inipropefly united ; and, fourth, that the complaint does not state facts suificient to constitute a cause ot action. In my opimion the first and fourth causes of demurrer must prevail. Th ig a general and public statute, all the provisions of which the Court ts bound to recognize and know without allegation or proof, and the erroneous statement made of its enact. ments neither adds to nor affects the rights or position of the plaintiffs, beyond what is afforded by the express "| terms of the act, and the admission of such statement, implied or conceded, by the demurrer as to ordinary transactions, is of no effect in the present case. By the alteration effected in the orlginal act of arated the amendments ot 1873, chapter 820, the plaintiffs are divested of any power as a Board’ to sue for or in re- spect to auy matter of public concern, and upon the case stated in their gomplaint disclose no facts sufficient to constitute & caus@ot action in their behalf, or which they can maintain. The first and fourth causes of de- murrer stated in the general language of the Code, and tion of some special objection to a re- nstitute sufficient grounds of objection to a (Sce 2 Wait's Practice, p. and cases | Demurrer sustained, and judgment thereon or- dered tor defendant. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The Ocean National Bank—The Case of Charlies Callender—Empanelling the Jury. Juage Benedict sat yesterday at the United States Circuit Court room, 27 Chambers street, and proceeded with the case of Charles Cailender, who is Indicted for having, in his capacity of Na- tional Bank Examiner, accepted a bribe of $76,000 for making 4 false report of the affairs and con- dition of the Ocean National Bank, of this city, ata time when that establishment was, as is alleged, in a broken and ruined state. Mr. A. H.

Drawing Pay as a Member of the Logis lature and as County Officer. Before Judges C. P. Daly, Larremore and Robiuson. The case of James Ryan, who seeks to get his salary as deputy clerk of the Court of Special Ses- slons curing the three months he was a member of the last Legislatare, came up for further argument yesterday in this Court. Mr. Ryan was repre- sented by Richard O’Gorman and the city by George P. Andrews, In reply to Mr. Andrews’ ar- | gument, an epitome of which has appeared im the Hexa.p, Mr, O'Gorman strenuously combated the argument that there is an inperent incompatibil- ity between the two offices, He msisted that the idea arises from a misunderstanding of the word incompatible, as used in this connection, He 1l- lustrated this by showing that, when, mayors of cities and sheriffs of counties are the returning officers, they are not @ligible as — members of Parliament within their jurisdiction, because it woulil be a part of theirdaty to decide | on their own elecuons, This waseclear case of incompativility; but no such incompatibility, he claimed, existed in the present case. Atter re(er- ring to various English statutes and precedents bearing on this point he urged, further, that to make the point of objection raised tenable there must be incompatibility between the functions of the two oltices. He next argued that wiile the statutes of this State specity the acts whereby the holder of an office shall Be deemed to have vacated the ofMfce, that among these acts the acceptance of another office was not ineinded. His final point was that Mr. Ryan, at tue tme of the performance of his duties as legislator at Ai- bany, being then im office as deputy clerk, tie Comptroller has no authority to question his per- | formance of his duties as such officer, and that his duty as finance officer was only to pay Mr. Ryan the salary fixed by law. The Comptrolier, he con- tended, might with equal propriety reiuse to pay the Mayor because he had devoted some of his time to mercantile or financial pursuits, or the Judges because they had spent alfew months in sum- mer away irom their posts. In the course of the argument reierence Was mInade to the case of Sir Edward Coke against Charies the First, sought to | be ousted from Pariiement from Buckinghamsh) and also to the case of Disracit against Gladstone. | After hearing the aygument the Court took the papers, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—THIAL TERM—PAAT |, Verdict Against the City.

Before Judge Sutherland. At the opening of the Court yesterday His Honor Judge Sutherland proceeded to deliver an | able and exhaustive charge in the case of Victoria ©. Woodhull, Tennie ©, Claflin and James H. Blood, charged with publishing a libellous article refiect- | ing upon the moral character of Luther B. Challis. ‘The City Judge gave a clear exposition of the law of libel, and instructed the jury to apply the principies he laid down to the aileged livellous | article set forth in the indictment, | Mr. Brooke, counsel for the deiendants, excepted | to numerous portions of the Judge’s charge, and | submitted a large number of requests t) charge, most of which were re used. ‘The jury retired to deliberate upon their ver- dict at half-past twelve, and came into court at | eight o’clock for further instructions, As they had not agreed at haif-past eight the Judge directed the jary to be kept together till the re- assembling of the Court this (Saturday) morning. 1t was understood that a large majority of the jury are in favor of acquitting tne deiendants, Burglaries and Larcentes. Thomas Moloney was tried and convicted of re- ceiving a $5,000 gold certificate, knowing it to have been stolen irom Burr S. Craft, a resident of Vir- ginia, who, on the isth of Decemper last, was robbed of three of these gold certificates. It was shown on the trial that Michael Moloney, the prisoner’s brother, was in Delmonico’s om the evening in question, and that he gave it after- Wards to the accused, who attempted to negotiate its sale through a broker in broadway, His Honor se&itenced Moloney to tle State Prison for four years, Thomas Holmes, who on the 28th of February stole $13 from the person of Edward Murray, pleaded gallty to un attempt to commit that of tence.

Brush, David M, Valencine, Richard Armstrong. j ‘These jurors, before being sworn, were each | closely questioned by Mr. Fullerton touching their indifference in the case. They replied that they did not know the defendant; that they had no con- nection with the Ocean National Bank in any way ; that they had not been connected with any national bank in New York city that had fated; that, if they had formed opinions or impressions regarding the case, either from what they had heard irom others or from reports in the news- papers, those opinions or impressions had long azo en forgotten or removed, and that they would | render a true verdict on the evidence as presented | in Court. Charles P. Fostick said he had formed an impres- sion in regard to the case which would take evi- pa to remove. The Judge directed him to stand aside. | John J. Haviland and James Dunshee were per. | emptortly challenged by tne defence. Jobn J. Anderson stated, in reply to questions from Mr. Purdy, that for many years he had Ween a friend of Mr. Callender, and was biased Ti his | favor. The Coart asked him to stand asie.
