“THE COURTS, The Rival Gas Companies---A Blow at Monopo- lies---Important Decision. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. A Sporting Man’s Troubles and What Came of Them—Disposal of a Mandamus App!ica- tion—Important Decisions—Business in Bankruptoy—Tho Courts for April. Yesterday Jonn McLeod, mate of the American schooner Mary Burdett, was brought defore Com- missioner Shields on a charge of having inflicted cruel and inhuman treatment on Andrew Oliver, Jobn McNeill, Christian Olsen and another, seamen on board the vessel, while on a voyage from New York to Para, in Brazil. The defendant was held 4m $2,000 bail for examination, The warrant in ‘this case was issued by Commissioner Osborn, but, he being otherwise engaged yesterday, Commis- sioner Shields attended for him to the commit ment of McLeod. A man named Starkweatuer, a passenger on board the American bark Rebecca Crowell, ap- | peared before Commissioner Shields a few days ago, and made an affidavit charging that on the voyage from Montevideo, in South America, Mrs. Jared Leteon, another of the passengers, & young married woman, about nineteen years of age, had administered poison to her husband, on the 25th of | February last, the vessel being then upon the high seas. The poisoning, however, did not prove fatal. | Mrs, Letson is a native of Michigan, and it seems | her husband is a wealthy Calijornia drover, fifty years old, It appears that the woman, on being confronted in the cabin with Starkweather, in the presence of the captain, admitted that she had given the poison to her husband, but that she had been induced to do so by Starkweather, who, she | , asserted, had seduced her and promised to marry her when they arrived in New York. Stark- Weather, in the most indignant manner, denied this charge. Deputy Marshal Crowley, armed with Commissioner Shields’ warrant, made several ex- | Plorations for the purpose of arresting Mrs. Let- son; but he has given up the hunt, having heard that the woman has made up her difficulty with her husband and left with him for some place in ene of the Western States. THE CONTENDING GAS COMPANIES. Sac Seni UME | & Hard Blow at Monopolies—Inviting Competition and Not Repelling It—Im- | portant Decision by Judge Donohue. Several days since there was a protracted argu- ment before Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers, upon an application made by Oscar Zollicoffer, President of the Metropolitan Gas Company, though not as President of the com- pany, but as a taxpayer, to prevent the city from executing & contract with the New York Mutual Gaslight Company to light the street lamps in | the district of the Metropolitan Company, em- bracing the region between Thirty-fourth and Seventy-ninth streets. The facts, as reported at the time in the HERALD, showed that, following vids for proposals for lighting the street lamps, the New York Mutual Gas Company, having’ sixty-two miles of gas mains laid in the streets and ready to connect with the streets lamps, put in a bid. to light the lamps at $65 a year apiece, This was the lowest bid in the district named, the New York, Manhattan and Harlem Companies havin pat in lower bids in their respective district® judge Donohue gave yesierday his decision in the matter, and its importance as affecting the various a6 companies Of the city in regard to lighting the wtreets will be apparent upon reading it. He goes im boldly for competition, and indicates plainly that, if the old gas companies were to have their way, all competition would virtually be destroyed, | one following is the Judge’s opinion embodying his on :— OPINION OF JUDGE DONOHUE, In this case the bill seeks to restrain the defend- ants from making @ contract for lighting certain jampe with tue Mutual Gaslight Company. The action is brought by a taxpayer under the act of 1872 to prevent waste, tha suggestion being that if the contract 1s made it will result in a loss to the corporation and a waste of the trust runds, Whether or no it is the old gas companies that, the inference seems to be drawn, are mak- ing the objection as to the Lew companies | bay undue profits, has nothing to do wrth the case. The simple question presented in this case (assuming the act of 1872 to give the plaintiff? the right to bring this suit) is, Do the papers presented show that if the deiendants are Bot restrained the property of the city will be ‘wasted or injured? Alter @ careful examination | of all the facta presented in the case I am unable to see that such will be the result. Substantially, the 01 thing the complainant complains of. is that the Mutual Company in their offer inter- condition not set out m the proposals. nless this difference 1s shown, if the contract is accepted, to make waste or injury, the plaintil has nothing to do with it; he has no standing in vourt, and { think he entirely fails to show the re- sult he alleges, In his argument the learned coun- gel put cases in which waste might in certain cir- cumstances result, and where corrupt influences might lead to that result, if variation was allowea in the cae irom the form invited; but it does not follow that because such things might in some cases happen the Court shouid restrain here where no such effect is shown. But if the plaintiff stood here with broader power and right tuan he does I do not think ne could sustain his motion. The whole object and scope of the proposals for bids is to invite competition. it ie notorious that none but certain com- ites are connected by pipes with the city lamps; at, whether by contract or mutual consent, those companies district or diviie the city, and, whether from courtesy or contract, reirain from biddin; im certain districts, is immaterial. It 1s the tac! that if the privilege here asked by the Mutual Com- pore eh ad granted them the proposals jor bids might as well be withdrawn and the form of competition waived. The only manner in which what the law seeks can be accomplished is to have all persons who have the means to supply what the city wants ailowed an equal opportunity to bid, and un! the Mutual or any other gas company not already connected with the lamps is allowed time toconnect there could be no competition. The motion shouid be denied and injunction dissolved, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS, A Sporting Man’s Troubles. Before Judge Donohue, Michael vorman, a gentleman reported to belong to the sporting circles of the city, some time since, Recording toa complaint preferred against him, accosted # Cincinnati merchant in the street and Fepresented himself as being a son of Mr. Scnil- lette, also engaged largely in trade in the Queen Oity of the West. This representation was ac- vepted as true, and the two, after a few moments? | chat, strolled down Broadway together and finally entered a gaming establishment not tar from the corner of Centre and Chambers streets, Here the scion the Cincinnati merchant en. pesea in @ game of jaro, and, being worsted the engagement, borrowed $125 of his @iend. He returned a small portion of the | amount, ing to restore the remainder on the succeeding day at the Astor House, where he rumised to meet him. This appomtment he failed keep, but the Cincinnati mercoant kept a sharp | Jookout for him and finally succeeded in bringing | humm into the Clutches of the law. He was taken | betore Justice Kilbreth, at Jefferson Market Police Court, and committed ior trial at the Court of Gen- | eral Sessions in default of $3,000 bail. This was on ‘the 12th of last March, and since then the son of his respected tather has been languisting | im jail, Becoming tired of tne monotony ot | inn life, he procured the services of Mr. | iiliam F. Kintaing, who, having sued out a writ of habeas corpus, had the prisoner brought pth A into this Court, Mr. Kintzing applied @ reduction of his bail, claiming that 1t was ex- orbitant ior the nature’ of the offence charged, and that, under the circumstances, 1t Was a great | hardship to keep a man In prison. District At- Sesanpitiee ee wy there was some merit ol . Kintzing, made no oppo- sition, and the same was granted. Bail was’ Fo. duced to $1,000, which Gebennt she jig peedily turnished and Disposal of a Mandamus Application. Before Judge Davis. Some time ago application was made, before Tuage Davis, while sitting in this Court, for a man- damus against President Neilson, of the Board of Education, against County Auditor Karle and against Comptroller Green, the object of which"was to wecure the ment of some Brothers of theis Dil for this amagcne asnings tee Coll of the City of New York. The been ondited by the Executive Committee ofthe Coke and ‘ed, but ‘ond this there was a hitch. une o! Of the HOD Was to test the mat . | peal was made to this Court, which in its decision | Money, and notified the Rotaschilds not to pay | bills of exchange, and, | Dockerty was brought before Judge Otterbourg for | on Friday afternoon by Detectives McGowan and NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 1874.—QUINTUPLE SHKET. ter of the Board of Fdncation being allowed to imvurse its own funds without the intervention of the Comptrolier, and the same was forcibiy urged im @ lengthy argument by the late Mr. James W. | Gerard, A decision was given in the case yeste: day by Judge Davis in which he allows a mandamus to issue against President Neilson and County Auditor Earle, and in conclusion directs that, if the Comptroller retuses to pay upon the requisition of | the iormer and the audit of the account by the latter, a mandamus shall issue against him directing payment of the claim. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT—PART 3. Pate By Jud Vorst. Rogers vs. ‘Gould -Case and amendments settled. 4 SUPERIOR COURT—GENERAL TERM. Decisions by a Full Bench. All the Judges of the Superior Court were on the bench yesterday morning, they having convened for the purpose of giving decisions In cases re- | cently argued before the General Term. We give | below a tull list of the decisions, Only two cases peetent. points of special public interest, and of eee We give abstracts of the opinions. Interesting Question as to Alimony. Catharine Kamp some twenty years ago obtained & divorce from her husband, Heinrich Kamp. In the decree there was no provision tor alimony, although the defendant paid: her $300, but, as he claimed, in final settlement of the suit and all claims for alimony, At the time he was poor, but since has prospered in this world’s goods. She ac- cordingly brought suit for alimony, and a referee appointed to investigate the lacrs reported in favor , Of paying her alimony at the rate of $1,000 a year. | Subsequently motion. was made at Special ‘Term to set aside the order for alimony made upon the referee's report, and urged on the ground that, the original decree not having provided ior the payment of alimony, the order was Gapropeny made. The Court denied the motion, and an ap- confirms the decision of the Special Term. The peipcipa point of the decision is that an appeal should have been taken trom the original order granting alimony, and that sach is his only proper remedy. The Fenian Fund Controversy. The facts of this case have been so frequently given in the H#kaLp during its protracted period of litigation that it is unnecessary to repeat them, | In 1865 John O’Mahoney, as Fenian Head Centre, | purchased bills of exchange on the Rothschilds in London for $20,000, in order to send the same to an agent in Europe. Meantime the agent | was arrested. as @ Fenian, and the gov- ernment of Great Britain claimed the the same. Mr. O’Mahoney then demanded tne money of Mr. Belmont, from whom he bought the failing to get it, brought | suit im the Superior Court. Finally, as is well known, Mr. Barr, appointed as receiver by Judge McUunn, secured the money and has since reta:ned it in his possession, At length a motion was made to discontinue the action, when various counsel set up claims for $5,000 counsel fees, and Mr. Barr claimed $6,000 for expenses, including his counsel fees and commissions. Finally the case got into this Court, and the same was decided yesterday—Juuge Spier delivering the opinion—thav Mr. Barr must pay over the jull amount received and pay his own expenses, including disbursements to counsel.

The loan was procured, and Judge McCue decided that there should be no breach of the agreement. The other motion was also denied on the gound, substantiaily, that great loss avd mental suffering had been caused detendant by the three trials of | the case, and 1t was not just to allow plaiptu to discontinue the suit without costs now, when he thinks he will never be able so get a verdict.

He never complained, but seemed to teol quite ashamed of his position. He was brought into Court yesterday afterncon and discuargea by | the vlerk without a word. The old man walked | quietly out of Court, evidently bewildered at his release and not quite certain Which way to gO. FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET POLICE COURT. | A Burglary in Yorkville. | Betore Justice Murray, | John O'Neil, of No, 742 Tenth avenue, was arrested | Levins, of the Nineteenth precinct, on suspicion of being one of four persons who robbed the resi- dence of Charles K. Brady, No. 116 Bast Seventy- | first street, on the 22d of Jast month. Abont three P, M. on that day four young men were seen leav- Mr. Brady’s residence, one of whom had a Jarge bundle under his arm. It was subsequently ascertained that an overcoat and about $100 worth of silverware were stolen. O°Netll was fully iden- tifled as one of the party and was remanded. Arrested on Suspicion. Charles Rufas, colored, of No. 461 Sixth avenue, was arraigned by Officer Pratt, of the Eighteenth precinet, who arrested bim on suspicion or having stolen, from the residence of James F, Cox, No. 107 East Twenty-filth street, an overcoat, worth about $40. Mr. Vox failed to identify the accused, who was remanded for a further hearing, A Fi a Woman James Farrell and Chafles Free were arrested by Omicer Steinkamp, of the Nineteenth precingt, tor |, d | not, until his arrest, conceaied himself ina house Moore, in opening the case, stated tnat the charge of desertion against his client was made solely to throw odium upon him, and that the subsequent testimony of ‘James’? Evans, who swore that he saw Inspector John 8. Quinn, on the night of the election in the Nineteenth Election district of the Twenty-first Assembly district, substitute Moore for Pinckney votes, was part of a plan by the latver to introauce what was not true. Since that time Evans had been arrested on a warrant issued by Justice Murray, and was present, Joun Keele, of No, 1,951 Third avenue, was the first witness :—He swore that he was a Tammany watcher in the district above-mentioned on the night of the election, and saw the Senatorial vote counted; Evans was not present at all, and no- | body was sitting beside Quinn during the countin; Of the votes, as Evans hud testified; witness di not see Quinn substituting tickets, and there was nobody hind the railing but those he knew; never saw Evans beiore bale Oiflcer Curtin, of the Nineteenth precinct, swore that he was detailed to do duty at the election district named and saw the vote tor Senator counted; Evans was not there; witness knew all those behind the railing. Thomas Smith testified that John 8. Quinn, who had acted as an inspector last election, came to him on the 10th of March last and said that Pinck- ney would give $600 if he would testily that he was present and saw him (Quinn) substitute ballots during the canvass of votes at the time mentioned ; Smith went with Quinn to Pinckney’s house, when Quinn went inside, leaving witness outside ; Quinn came out soon alter and then said that Pinckney would pay the money and that he (Quinn) would get s portion if the thing could be carried out, mith agreed to the proposition, but went at once to George F. Plunkett, a friend of Moore’s, and told him all about it. ‘smith’s first intention was ‘to take tne money and then go upon the stand make a clean breast of the whole thing, but aiterward determined to have | nothing to do with it; at this time Quinn ivet wit- ness and said that he would be required to testify on the 28th of March; witness made up his mind not todo so, and told Quinn such was his resoln- tion; Quinn then asked him for Evans’ address, which he gave | Mr. Wingate then called Evans, who refused to answer all the questions propounded, ,on the ground that he had no counsel and might erim- imate himself. He was asked how long he had lived at the place where he swore he was residing when he testified belore the committee; whether he did not abscond ater the date given, and had of iil repute; and whether he was at the eleciion pull at all when the vote in question was counted. Detective O’Brien, who had Evans in custody, was called as a Witness for the contestant, and ex- amined to show that Kvans had been arrested on complaint of Moore, On his cross-examination O'Brien said that the prisone! name was Henry, not James Evans; that he lived only one day on Eighth avenue, and the night after he first testi- fled before the committee he left the place; wit- ness went there and could not’find him, but traced him to # honse of il-repute; sent a messenger there to inquire for him, but the occupants denied that he was there; as the messenger was leaving Evans leoked through the hali- closed blinds, when witness saw him, and at orice effected nis arrest. On the way to the sta- tion house Evans voluntarily admitted that the testimony he had given before the committee on the 28th ult. was false, and that he was sorry for it; Quinn had offered him $200 to make such a statement, and as he had been sick and was “proke’’ he had done so, but instead of obtaming the $200 offered had received but $100, ‘The com- mittee then adjourned the case until the 17th inst. After adjournment Moore, with his witness and counsel, went before Jnstice Murray, of the York- ville Police Court, and charged Evans with per- fury. His bail was fixed $2,000, in delault of ‘whien he was committed to answer. STATION HOUSE LODGERS.

THOMAS CHERRY, Captain Sixteenth Precinct Police. Twenty-first Ward Relief Association— Final Report of the Winter’s Work. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— After an active existence of some seven weeks the work of the above associatton was brought to aclose on the night of Friday last, and evinces Jrom the subjoined report ample proof of the un- tiring labors of the committee in scattering broad- cast the blessings of relief throughout tne eutiro ward. In acknowledging the well merited credit to those who have been associated with this charity no invidious comparison is intended when it is asserted that mainty to the good offices of Messrs. Warden Brennan, Coroner Croker, Farrell and Brady, aided by the indeiatigable ef- forts of Mr. Charles H. Chandler, the Secretary, the association is chiefly indebted for the success which has crowned Its labors, Perhaps it will not be deemed inappropriate to here remark that this association has received no atd whatever from either concert, dramatic entertainment, or other Dublic demonstration, but has wholly depended upon the efforts of its committees and personal subscriptions of its members for the necessary funds to carry on its work. Aside from the sup- ples of groceries, flour, bread, meat and fish, which have been dealt out with no sparing hand, coal, boots and shoes and clothing have been largely distributed, and in a number of instances cash nas been donated for arrearages of rent, for burying the dead and obtaining delicacies for the Sick and dying. Medical aid has also been far- nished, bedclothing procured, and thus in the wide range of the charities dispensed nothing has been neglected that would in anywise conduce to the comfort and reuef of the poor, distressed, uniortu- nate creatures whose sufferings have been brought to the knowledge or the committee.
