Mr. Warren claimed that bankers or brokers could not be vaxed on stock sold for themselves, but only on Stock sold by them on commission.

The amount involved altogether is about $200,000, Mr. B. K. Phelps was counsel for the brokers, and the District Attorney for the govern- Ment.

MAY 13, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET, Mr. Alexander T. Stewart, taken from the decree oi Judge Blatchford, setung aside the conveyances | made by the bankrupts, Messrs. Leland, formerly proprietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, to Mr. Stewart, of the above mentioned real estate. The | grounds of this motion, as stated by counsel, were that Mr. Stewart had taken the property prema- turely, inasmuch as the District Court bad ordered an accounting to be had of the renis and profits of the real estate, and that Mr. Stewart should be charged therewitu. Mr. Stewart, it was alleged, Without waiting for the accounting or having the amount ascertained, took an appeal to the Circuit Court of the United States, _Mr. Henry E. Davies, Sr., counsel for Mr. Stewart, opposed the motion iu a leagthened argu- ment, asserting that the decree of the District Court Was in a state to be appealed irom to the Cireuit Court, because the District Court disposed of the right and title of Mr. Stewart to the prop- erty in question, The learned gentieman cited a jarge nutaber of authorities and severai cases de- cided in the Supreme Court of the United States in mippers of his views. udge Hunt intimated to counsel that he would suspend argument on the appeal until he had de- cided this particular question, Counsel might look for a decision at an early day, and sould be ready to go on in case he determined that the ap- peal must be heard, Decisions—The Case of the Pennsylvania. Betore Judge Woodruff. In the matter of the Pennsylvania Judge Wood- ruff yesterday rendered the loliowing decision :— Upon the decision made in this case by the Supreme Court it ts altogether just that the dam- ages sustained by the Pennsylvania should be brought into the apportionment which, by therules | of admiralty, follow where both vessels are guilty of fault which contributes to the disaster. I regard the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of The at gar asa plain recoguition of the coumpe- tency of this Court to alow the owners ol the Pennsyivania to bring their damages to the atten- tion of the Court im this stage of tue proceedings, | with a view to including them in such apportiou- ment. It just that it should be so, The mandate directs proceedings heve in conformity | to the opinion. The opinion finds facts upoo which the damages should be directed, But the privilege now gtven should not disturb the pro- | Ceedings in any other respect hor work any disad- | Vantage to the libeiants beyond the ascertainment and allowance of those damages in the apportvion- | Ment, On these terms and conditions let tue an- | swer be amended by an averment tuat ve Penn- | sylvania was injured by the collision mentioned in | tue livel, and let an order of reference be entered | to ascertain the amount of such damages. Gn the coming in and confirmation of the report such | | dsmages will be broughe into the apportionment, and unusual punisiment on the high seas; Hans Marten ana Edward R. Robinson, conspiracy; Wiliam H, Tindle, alleged fraudulent bankruptcy. There are also two cases of counterfeiting, and one case ta which Charies B. Meyer is indicted jor using revenue stamps a second time, Michael Doyle, a sailor, who had been charged with assaulting the mate of the American vessel Cuba, was Cischarged on his own recognizance yesterday by Commissioner Shields, who repri- manded Doyle, telling titm he should be more care- fulin future as to how he conducted himself on shipboard. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday, be- fore Judge Nathaniel! Shipman, in the case of An- thony Oechs v8. Thomas Murphy, ex-Collector of this port, which was an action to recover an al- leged excess of duty on aquantity of wine im- ported in bottles, the jury, by direction of the Court, found a verdict for the defendant. It would | seem from the facts of this case and also from the verdict now rendered, that the value of the bottles in which wine ts imported goes to make up an ele- ment in arriving at the price for which the wine is gold in the market. The Brinkley divorce suit was continued yester- day before Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Circuit. Most of the day was consumed in the continued cross-examination of Mrs. Brinkley. Despite its great length and rigid severity her tes- timony given in the direct eXamimation was not saaken in the least. Another day was consumed yesterday in the ex- amination of witnesses upon the charge of kidnap- ping Teresa Smali made against Police Commis- sioner Gardner and Captain Williams, of the Eighth precinct, Mr. Abe H. Hummel conducting the prosecution and United States Commissioner Dav- enport the defence. The only witnesses examined were policemen who claimed to have arrested Mrs. Small as a panel operator under the name of Mollie Rust. The case will be resumed this morning, In the General Term of the Court of Common Pleas the appeai in the case of Phineas H. Kings- land, who sues the city for money advanced to the market sweepers in 1870, was argued yesterday. In the lower Court he obtained a verdict for $11,763 52 and the city appealed from the verdict, No decision was given. The appeal in the suit of the Fisk Pavement Company against Charles E. | Evabs was also argued yesterday in the General Term, with a like result, SAMANA BAY COMPANY. aes Application for the Appointment of a Receiver—Different Legal Opinions as to the Powers of General Gonzales Re= garding the Dissolution of the Com- | pany. In 1873 by a special act of the Dominican govern. ment, there was incorporated a company under the extended and high sounding title of **Companie de ta Bahia de Samana de Santo Domingo.” All the stockholders were citizens of the United States and mainly of this city, where the headquarters | were established and still continue. Among the lead- ing stockholders were Paul V. Spofford, A. B. Stock- well, Samuel & Samuel and Leonardo Del Monte. The object of the company was to promote mining, agriculture, build railways, and otherwise devel- op the resources of the Republic. But the com- Pany asciaiimed fas not been very successful in carrying out its projects, and its affairs have tor some time been the subject of inquiry tn the courts, beginning first in the United States Court and yes- terday coming up in @ new shape belore Judge Donoiue in Supreme Court Chambers. A REVEIVER ASKBD FOR. This new shape was an application for the ap- pointment of a receiver. The petision was made on behali of William Rowland, a creditor of tue company, on tue grounds that the incorporation of the company being the work of the Domincan Repubiic tue decree of General Gonzales has ac- tually dissoived it, and that nothing now remains but to appoint a receiver to collect 1ts New York assets and distribute them among its New York creditors and stockholders. The petition was op- er posed by the company and by several of its stock. | holders and by Paul N. Spofford, who was not only | a leading director, but an attaching creditor to the extent of $59,000. On Mr. Spol- ford’s bebalr it was claimed that ueneral Gonzaies’ act was not the act of the Re- public and that it was not a vote of the people nor wn act of tts legislature, nor even of its regular Executive, but siaply of a general calling himself supreme head o! tue Republic and general of its armies, ‘To deciare the company dissolved was beyond the power 0! the Court, at any rate, in this summary procceuing, the only proper way being by a regular suit, in which ail interests could be represented. ‘0 do so in this way would be to de- prive active and energetic creditors of the ad- vantages their superior energy has earned them. On Mr. Rowland’s parc it was Claimed that there nad been system of juggling between two companies, which had deprived them of their rightiui remedy, one company being the | debtor, and the other owning all the property; that | they had tried to throw the company into vank- rupicy, and in the United States Court were met by the Jact that this was a foreign corporation; that they were thrown back on the State courts, and that in a suit in the State courts they were met by the company’s answer that they no jonger ex- isted. Under these circumstances but this one Way was leit open to them, which was the fair | Way jor ali parties. The subject was discussed at considerable length by the various counsel representing the several L mri a in interest. At the close of the argument ae Douvhue took tae papers, reserving his de- isi BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURS, + UNITED STATES CIRCUIT couRT. Appeals in Bankruptcy. Before Justice Hunt.

That verdict was set aside and proceedings were continued for the purpose of | havinga uew trial. In the petition the creditors | wanted to take testimony de vene esse in the Southern district of New York under the act of 1789 and the thirtieth section of the act of 1817.

On.tnis mo- | tion Judge Woodruit nas rendered @ decis- ‘fon saying, “While on tte one hand, J am of opinion that had the act to establish @ unilorm system of bankruptcy | | been silent upon the subject, proceedings under that statute must nave been deemed a Civil cause | depending in a Court of the Uniied states within | the meaning of section 30 of the act of 1789. Yet, | onthe other hand, | am decidedly of opinion that | such proceedings have, by the Baukrupt act, been regulated with such munute detail as a statutory | proceeding that, as to matters which are the sub- | Ject of specific regulation, its provision must be | held exctusive. Section 38 of the Bankrupt act in terms deciares how evidence may be taken to be used in “any of the proceedings” under the act. | And to meet the precise case of the creditor now applying im this Court it authorizes the taking of | testimony on commission. _ By that means these | witnesses may be examined.

J., and was worth, according to the ciaim of her owners, about $30,000, This schooner, having on board a cargo of cotton, which she ship- ped at Mobile, was wrecked on the coast of Cape Hatteras in January, 1871. It is alleged by the pia n | tiffs that the deiendants, being aware of the cond tion of the schooner, represented to them that, with reasonable skill anu diligence, the vessel | could be sa‘ely got o:f, the deiendants promising | to supply ail proper and necessary wrecking mate- rials for the prompt aud jaith ul periormance of | this work, and that tuey would restore the vessel and cargo to ber owners, Under this promise or statement, as alleged, the schooner was surren- dered to the defendants, who, ip consideration of certain salvage money to be paid taem, engaged to furnish wrecking materiais and commence at once the work Of saving the schooner and her cargo. The case’oi the piainufls 1s that the defendants jailed to supply proper and necessary wrecking machinery; that they did not at once begin the work, a8 agreed upob, and that as the result of | this neglect the schooner was lost.

Before Judges Davis, Brady and Daniels, Patrick Slattery was tried in February, 157%, in the Court of General Sessions, upon an indicument for felonious assault in striking David Helm with a club with intent to kill him, convicted and sen- tenced to State Prison forseven years. Tue facts | as developed on the triai snowed that the accused was a member of the Municipal Police force, and at | the time of the assault was on duty patrolling his post. He met the prosecutor, who was a stranger to him, and, as tue prosecutor swore, without any cause clubbed him over the head several times with a@ policeman’s club, cutting and causing & rious injury to his head. The accused, on the otner hand, sWore that thg prosecutor was acting ina suspicious Manner, and that upon arrestiag him he resisted and assauited him, whereupon he used is Club In detence oi nis person and to effect the arrest. Slattery is now in state Prison serving ont his time. His counsel, Mr, Wm. F. Kintzing, thought that the facts warranted an appeal from the judgment of the Court, and ue accordingly had the case carried to this Court, where it came up for argument yesterday on the appeal. mr. Kintang | made lengthy and iorcible argument, stating, | with great clearness ana succinctness, the grounds upon which he asked @ new tria.. He animauverted severely upon orutal policemen wno, upon very slight provocation, and oiten Lone whatever, made violent use of their clubs, The present, however, he insisted, was @ different case, and that the vio- lence used was Wholly in sel. deience and thereiore justifavie, The points of his argument, in support of which he cited numerous authorivies, were that the Court erred in not charging the jury that they could convict tie accused o: an ausault “with a sharp, dangerous Weapon, With intent to do bod- tly aarm;"" t the Court also erred in refusing to charge the jury “that before they can convict the prisoner Of an assault witn intent to kill they must be satisfied upon the evidence that had death ensued the prisoner would be guilty of mur- der in the second degree,” and that the verdict was against the law and tne evidence. A lengthy reply was made by District Attorney Pheips, who insisted that the verdict was @ most justifanie one, and, as an example and warning to policemen given to’ brutal use of their clubs upon citizens | Whom they arrest, the penalty was none too se- | vere. The Court took the papers, reserving \ts decision, The Cases of Henry W. Genet and Wil- liam J. Sharkey. | Considerable time was occupied in thie Court | | yesterday discuasing the cases of the tugitives | from justice, Henry W, Genet and William J. Sharkey. In the case of Genet, who escaped be- fore sentence was passed on him, Judge Daniels bas retused to sign the bili of exceptions because of the escape. A motion has accordingly been made to this Court for a mandamus to compel him / | to settie and sign the bil. In the case of Sharkey, who escaped alter senten! of death had been passed on him and the writ of error issued, no return of the evidence has been made irom the General Sessions, and District Attorney Phelps moved to dismiss the writ of error, Boti motions were ar- ued togetncr, the point invoived in both being | ®.

In Sharkey’s case the writ was one of statutory right, and in both cases ali that was sought was a re- view of judgments they declared unjust. The Court took the papers, SUPREME OOURT—OHAMBERS.

The second trial of the case of Bartholomew Connolly, Administrator, against Wiliam Snow, which was a suit for $6,000 for the death of Michael Connolly (plaintid#’s gon) through the alleged carelessness of the defendant in rigging a block and tackle at the Atlantic dock, took place in the City Court yesterday. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $260. ‘The deiend- ant was holsting @ cargo trom a vessel when a | | pulley gave way and young Connolly was struck on the head by the biock and killed. Judge Reynoids, of the City Court, denied the motion for a permanent injunction restraining the Atlantic and Filth Avenve Railroad from using the De Kalb Avenue Railroad tracks on Front street | and vacated the temporary injunction previously granted. The defendants stipulated to wry the cas at the June term, and in the meantime they will use the tracks in question. George Bruck, agea about five years, was killed last summer by being run over by a city railroad | car in Court streets, Yesterday the father, Jonn | Bruck, brought suit against the company in the City Court to recover $5,000 damages.

SUPPOSED CASE OF GAS SUFFOCATION. A cage of death from inhaling gas was yester- day afternoon brougut to the attention of Coroner Woltman. It appears that at about eleven o’clock in the morning John Bell, a carpenter, living at No, 96 Bleecker street, who had been employed to repair the vacant house No. 51 Hast Tenth street, attempted to enter the premises, but found the door firmly secured. An entrance was finally effected by climbing through a rear window, and, on ascending to the top floor, Mr. Bell, much to his astonishment, discovered the body of Alexander Milter, who had charge of the place, lying dead tn bed in the front hall bedroom, and from the burner the gas was Mowing in full force. Mr. Miller, who had been in the service 0! his em- proves for @ great Led years, was deal, and, hrough sickness, had lost the sense ofsimell. It fee I cer he had blown ont the gas without turning it of, and, lying down in his bed, un- consetously inhaled the gas till death ensued from suffocation.
