—_—— THE COURTS. The Jame! Estate Case Bevived—The Tables Tutned—Chase Against Bowen. LEGISLATIVE LOBBYING Pains and Penalties of Having a Claim Against the City—Cost of a Lobby Agent. it of Chase vs. Bowen—Another Lengthy Litigation in the Courts, The readers of the HegaLp will remember the case of George Washington Bowen, of Provi- | dence, R. 1, vs, Nelson Chase, which was tried |} twice in the Unitea States Circuit Court—once, ‘when the jury disagreed, and, a second time, when | the jury, after a trial extending over thirteen Weeks, found a verdict for Mr. Chase. The plain- if, Bowen, claimed that he wus the illegitimate son and heir-at-law of Mme. Jumel, and, as Such, sought to eject the defendant, Chase, trom ‘he possession of a large estate situate on the up- Der part of this island, near Fort Washington. ‘This estate became vested in the family of Mr. Ohase under deeds executed by vMme. Jumel, As the HEKALD has frequently § published the facts, is 1g unnecessary-to go into them on the present occasion further than to say that, on the conclusion of the trial alluded to, in Chase entered a suit in equity m the United States Circuit Court against Bowen to'restrain him drom again proceeding in the litigation, alleging that it had not been commenced in the first in- | stance in faith; that in fact Bowen had no } claim at all %© the property, Mme. Jumel having '{ dong before the commencement of the suit parted with her fnterest in the property, which was only @ life interest; and that, even if Bowen were the son of Mme. Jumel, Mr. Chase and his children had anequitable title, derived irom Mme, Jumel, which |, Was a complete bar to Bowen’s claim, The answer of Bowen sets forth that he entered into the Jitiga- tion with good taith; that he has a good claim, -and that, as the son of Mme. Jumel, he believes his Atle to the property in question is valid as agaist all other persons. yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, pe- fore Judge Blatchford. Mr. Charles O’Conor and Mr. J. ©. Carter ap- peared as counsel for Mr. Chase, and Mr. L. ‘Chatfield und Mr. Sawyer ior Mr. Bowen. Mr. Charles O’Conor, in stating the case on the ‘part of the plaintiff, said tvat Bowen, the defend- -ant, claimed to be the son and sole heir of Mme. -Jumel, ana brought certain suits in the courts of , the State of New York under the code, Alter this | Case was at issue in the courts of the State or New York the plainti’ removed twem all into Court, and they were ull now here. After many weeks spent in trial of the case of Bowen vs, Chase the jury disagreed. A year luter ‘che case was again brougut to trial before a special jury and aiter a similarly protracted trial a ‘Verdict and judgment were rendered against the laintif, Bowen. The plaintitf then prepared a of exceptions, a writ of error and a stay of pro- The biil now filed by the pidintit, Chuse, ‘Was filed whtle the jury were out in that cuse—at deast, {i was filed before the verdict was given, ‘The bill, of course, set up nothing in the case ex- }eept what had occurred up to tie potat of time be- fore the verdict was renuered. The supplemental ‘@nswer inthe case simply stated the facts that subsequently arose—to wit, that the Jury rendered @ verdict and judgment, that a bill of ex- i ! ‘ceptions was taken, @ writ of error brought and that the proceedings were still pendmg. There was a replication and an amended answer, aud le might say that he admitted the truth of every word wnat appeared in the amended answer. Alter descriving tue prop- ‘erty Mr. O’Conor said Mme. Jumel naa no inter- est in tt puta lu@ interest. This interest was vir- ‘ually ana in a valid manner settied upon Mrs. ‘Chase, the wife of Nelson Chase, now deceased, and her hicirs, and at the deat of Mme, Jumel tne ‘Waole of Stephen Jumel’s estace became absolutely [Vested in and went into the possession of the heirs ‘at law, these being Mr. Chase’s ‘two chil- coogel and they have been 1m possession ever since. the question here would be whether the constrac- ‘Won he gave to the instruments by which the es- Sate was miyen to Mrs, Chuse was correct’ or not, ‘There wou.d, really, be no inquiry at all whether G. W. Bowen was or was not the son of Mme. \Jumel Mme. Jumei, im 1854, introduced Miss jones: fe daughter of her deceased friend, wo a (French amily, and stated to them a treaty of mar- riage between Miss Chase and tue only child of that family, a gentleman named Pery. A mariage por- ‘tion was spoken of, but Mme. Jume! said it was not the “epee pe people in America to end {i the death of the parents, and, therefore, she was not willing to farther now than to give a certain annuity, but that at her death her estate was to be divided between this lady (Miss Chase) aud her brother ‘William, who were the claimants in Mme. Jumel’s patate. The plaintiff claimed that Mme. Jumel at ber death was indebted to Mrs. Pery and her brother jor a very large sum of money, and they then showed that that indebtedness fully ex led |p amount the entire value o! any real or personal estate of her own that she leit. That did not in- slude Mr. Jumei’s property, and if Bowen be Mme. “fumel’s heir-at-law he was bound to pay that debt |aver and above what the estate would produce. | Mr. O’Conor said the object of this suit was to meen end to tais wasting and protracted litiga- . If Bowen was the undoubted son of the yery distinguished citizen who was reierred to ta e proois as his father and oi Mme. Jumel, and jer heir-at-iaw, he ought to wish them to bring juoh @ sait as this, and not have unnecessary liti- ‘ation within the restricted and narrow Limits of perely legal jurisdiction. | Alter considerable legal argument between Mr. ,. Conor and Mr. Chatfield, a number of deeds and rs relating to the Jumel estate were put in ce. | |Mr. Paul R. J, Pery was calted as a witness on | he part of the plaintif.

A, Hendricks gave evidence with re- | rd to tue execution of some of the deeds relating | ) the Jumel property. Mr. Augustus F. Smith, a lawyer residing at Fort ashington, testified that the land on the Jumel \tate looking towards the North River was-worth pout $7,500 an acre. The Jand on tue same estate, ) the other side, was probably avout half that due, An inventory of the estate of Mme. Jumel was 50 given in evidence. Some other documentary proof having been put » the Court adjourned till unis morning.

Mr. Babcock was cross-examined at great length, but although the questions and answers were at times somewhat amusing his statements varied in no material respect from those on his direct examination. REBUITiNG TESTIMONY. Mr. Babcock considered 118 own testimony sufi- cient for his side of the case. Aiter he bad jett the witness stand, which seemed @ mowent of great relief to him aiter tne severe catechizing to which he had been subjected, Assistant Comptroller Storrs was culled to give testimony in rebuttal. He said that he remembered that Mr. Babcock called at the Comp- troller’s office shortly after the Legislature had ad. journed and inguired who had advocated his claun in Albany, and be was told Mr. Ward had, His im- pression was thut Mr. Babeock expressed hrmselr satisiied with tne services o1 Mr. Shaw.

Precious stones, variously val- ued at from $4,000 to $10,000 were found upon their persons, and criminal proceedinzs were brought against them on the charges above named, and shortly afterward a civil suit by the United States for the confiscation of the property. It seems that after their incarceratioh in Ludiow Street Jail a friend of theirs engaged Mr, Kauimann to defena them, which he did most successtully, geting their bail, ta the first instance, largely reduced from $10,000 fixed by the Commissioner, and, afterward, on the trials, succeeded in having them discharged and their property restored to them, ‘his action is brought by Mr. Kaufmann to recover the vaiue of his ser- ices in their behalf, He testified on the trial that he had paid other counsel te assist him, and de- frayed various expenses incident to the cases; that he valued his services at $1. son but proposed, after the discharge of the parties, that they should pay him $750, which sum was aiterwards reduced to $600 at their solicitation, they agreeing to pay him that amount as soon as they were able, ana upon which he allowed their diamonds to be handed Over to them.

Trial of Mary tonnolly for a Cruel Assault Upon “Little Elien”—She ts | Convicted of Assault and Battery and Sent to the Penitentiary for One Year. Before Recorder Hackett, The only case disposed of by the jury in this Court yesterday was an indictment against Mary Connolly for a felonious assauit uson Mary Elien Wilson, @ little child, at her apartments, No. 315 West Forty-first street, which isa rear tenement house. It will be remembered that a lengthy in- vestigation was had this month betore Judge Law- rence, in the Supreme Court, Chambers, as to the future custody of the child, who was treated un- kindly and cruelly by Mrs. Connoily, The testimony taken then appeared in full in the HERALD, and as the evidence given by the witnesses upon the trial of tne de- Jendant is substautially the same, only its salient Points need be recapitulated now. When the woman was arraigned last week upon the indict- | ment the Recorder assigned Messrs. Howe and Hummell to defend her. There were two indict ments {ound by the Grand Jury agdinst Mary Con- nolly, and the specific charge upon which she was tried was that, on the 7th of April, sue stabvea | Mary Ellen Wilson in the forehead witha pair of scissors. TO sustain the allegation District At- torney Roilins first called the little girl, who was tasteiully dressed and looked more like the petted daughter of wealthy parents than a tenement house ‘waif.’ It was with extreme difficulty that Mr. Rollins succeeded in gettiny her to answer the questions propounded, but the main facts were finally elicited trom her—that on some day while the prisoner was Working ac a quilt sie cut her in the forehead with a pair o: scissors, and on other Occasions she beat her with a cowhtae, Mr. Howe d tO the admission of evidence as to acts er than the oue mentioned in the indictment, Mr. Rvliins claimed thac be had a right to 1mtro- duce proofs of otuer acts of violence as tending to rebut a tueory which the counsel might possibly set up that the cut with the scissors was acci- dental. Mrs. Webb, who takes charge of lost children who aie orought to the Police Headquarters, stated that when the little girl was received by her she was extremely iilthy, bare-iooted and thinly dressed; that there was a deep scratch on her head and she had five bruises on her body in the region of the hip. Officer McDougal, to whom was entrusted a warrant for the production of the child, said he was accompanied by Mr. Evans, an oficer con- nected with Mr. Bergh’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and that they took her away from the top fluor of this tenement house to the headquarters of the police, and returned tor the purpose of getting a cowhide which they sup- sed Was there, Lut they could not find it. Mrs. aeeler, a lady Who was eugaged in dispensing the charities of St. Luke’s Mission, stated that abe visited the tenement house in which the prisoner resided frequently during the months of December, Jauuary and February, ior the purpose of minis- tering to a sick woman who occupied a room next to Mrs, Connoily; that upon the first Visit to Mrs. Connolly’s apartments the littie girl Was washiny dishes, aud upon the table near by noticed a large cowhide made oi strips of eather compactly twisted togetner, large at one end and tapering ac the other. The witness asked Mrs, Connoily ii she would permit the child to oc- casionally give a drink of water to the woman next door, but she gave no definite reply except that she thougut the woman was sufficiently cared for by her husband. Mrs. Wheeler went there again, and noticed the whip near @ chair upon Which the littie girl was seated sewing, and on this and the previous visit perceived that the child was very shy and nervous and would hardly notice her. Mr. Howe did not call any witnesses, but \pro- ceeded to sum up the evidence, claimiug that the jury could not properly convict of a higaer offence than assault and battery. Alter a brie! and forcible address by Mr. Rollini Who argued that the accused should be convicte of an assault, with intent to do bodily harm, the Recorder gave the jury clear instructions upon the law and the verdicts which they might render ac- cording to the view they might take of the testi- mony. The jury retired, and, after @ brief con- suitation, rendered a verdict oi “guilty of assault and battery.’ His Honor, in passing sentence, said that he had not the slightess doubt but that the prisoner was guilty o: brutal treatment to the child; that if the jury had rendered a ver- dict of a higher grade oi assauit be would have imposed the juli penalty of the law, a8 much ior an eXample to others as punishment tor her brutal conduct. He sentenced her to the Penitentiary H for one year. Burglaries. Nelson Ladue pleadeu guilty to an attempt at burglary in the third degree, the charge being that on the 12th inst. he broke into the liquor store of James McCovey, No. 254 Front street, and stole $6 worth of cigars. Charles Newhart and John Manley also tendered @ similar plea, the indictment alleging that on the 4th of April the prisoners and others broke into the restaurant of William Thoden, No. 38 Clinton street, and stole canary birds and other property worth $100, These prisoners were each seut to the State Prison for two years and six months, Thomas Collins, Julius Beard, Alired Ferris and Char.es Smith pleaded guilty to an attempt at bur- glary in the third degree, tue charge being that on the 2d inst. they ee ta entered the store of Wyman Schnitzer, No. 140 Madison street, and stole seventeen pieces of silk, worth $1,700, Tne prisoners were sent to tue State Prison for two years. Nicholas Harvey, @ boy, charged with entering the premises of John P. Freshman, No. 103 St. Mark's place, on the 7th Inst., and stealing wear- ing apparel, pleaded guilty. He was sent to the House of Refuge. Assaults. John Carroll pleaded guilty to assaulting Otto Laeoger with a stone, and was sent to the Pent- tentiary jor three months, Andrew Paulson was convicted of assaulting Daniel Uates, on the 13th inst., on board the White Adda, and sent to the Penitentiary for one year.

THE METHODIST PREACHERS, ibe The Argument from Design—Election. of Officers. The Methodist preachers met yesterday at their regular time and place. There were many new ministers present consequent on the Conterence changes, gome of whom were introduced to the meeting. Being the transition period between the old conference year and the new the brethren had no particular topic before them for discussion. Dr. Curry came to their relief on the occasion and presented a few thoughts for their consideration | based on “the argument from design.” He tol- lowed a few phases of natural phenomena to their conciusions, and proved tncontrovertibly a designing power beyond. He also quoted irom rtain authors—materialistic and rationalistic, entific and theologi al—to show that the argu- ment irom design is Most convincing. BISHOP FOSTER, who was present by invitation, addressea the meeting. He made buta passing allusion to Dr, Ourry’s remarks, simpiy to say that the logic and the argument could not be gaimsaid. The Bishop gave a briel sketch of his labors since he entered the episcopate, and gave asa sample his expert- ence jor the last thirty days, during which he has travelled 3,000 miles, preached twenty times, pre- sided at half @ dozen annual conierences and or- dained six classes, addressing each class sepu- rately, besides devoting twelve hours a day Tor twenty-one of those days to the work before him. And yet, he said, he never felt better in all nis life. He found in the episcopate compensations for the interierence with his cherished plans and habits of thought, and the only rest or recreation he could obtain or that he needed is unceasing work, Dr. True offered one limitation to the argument from design—namely, that design be referred to a finite miud; for we cannot show by any argument the design of an infinite mind. Design meaning the adjustment of several parts to a whole, it cannot be shown that ¢od has designed anything tn the sense of reasoning over and iitting one part of the material universe into another, and so making a complete and harmonious whole. But finite minds may see in the universe strong and cumulative evidences of design. , OFFICERS ELECTED FOR 1874, Dr. Curry, on benalt of the nominating commit- tee, presented the names oi J. B.

THE SING SING OONSPIRACY, There is at present a good deal of feeling ex- pressed among the inhabitants of Sing Sing village owing to a widely circulated rumor that there is desire on the part of the authorities to allow Jonn Outhouse, at Sing Sing Prison, to escape the consequences of his crime. The Treason for this is said to be that the trial of Outhouse would probably involve otner of the prison officials, as is friends have openly asserted that he shall not suffer ‘alone in the case. as some doubts have been expressed in regard to securing @ Conviction of Outhouse simply on his own admissions, it is suggested that the Dis- trict Attorney, in order to accomplish this end, has only to subpoena the gaards who were on duty in the hall of the main prison on the day preceding as well a8 during the nignt when the convict?
