The argument in the theatre llcense cases, which ‘was to have taken place yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Donohue, was ad- journed until Thursday.

Evarts the Society for the Rejormation of Juvenile Delin- quents, to which, under the existing statutes, the licenses have to be paid. THE TERESA SMALL CASE. Shhh | Commissioner Gardner Gives His Ver- | sion of the Affair. The examination upon the charges preferred against Police Commissioner Gardner, and Captain Williams, of the Eighth precinct, of breaking into | the apartments of Mrs. Talbot, at No, 15. First street, at the dead hour of night, and, without any | ‘warrant or other legal authority, forcibly abduct- ing Teresa Small, twelve years of age, and taking her to Police Headquarters, where she has been kept ever since, was resumed yesterday in the Su- preme Court. The child was present, having been brought there by Detective McDougal, and so were Commissioner Gardner and Captain Wiliiams, with United States Commissioner Davenport, their | counsel, and also the father of the child, and | Mr. Wilitam F. Howe, nis legal representative, who 1s seeking, through the medium of a habeas cor- pus, to restore to him his child. COMMISSIONER GARDNER'S STORY. In reference to interrogations put by his counsel, Commissioner Gardner proceeded to tell his side | of the story as follows:—When we arrived at the | house of Mrs. Small, Captain Williams said we ‘wanted to see the parties within; one of them asked what for, and said, “Is there anything wrong‘? Williams replied that he wanted to see ‘hem on business; they stated that they were in ‘bed, and would not open the door, and asked again ‘who we were; Wiiliams said we were police of- ficers; some one then said we might be burglars Yor all they knew, and refused to open the door; Williams then told his name, and some whispering took piace within; he wrote on his card his name and passed it over the ianlight; they then opened ‘the door; we did not bursi open any door, nor did ‘we threaten to do s0; we were kept standing there about fliteen minutes; we entered the house by Pog hali door, which was closed, but not fast- en At this point Captain Williams attempted to | whisper to the Commissioner, but Mr. Howe for- | bade his doing so while the Commussioner was under examination.

MAY 19, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET., hinges upon the disposition to be made of some $25,000 Fenian funds, witich, through the order of the late Judge McCunn appoint Mr. Barr receiver of the money, came ini the latter's 7 oe After a prolo di littgation, whi brought to bear all the usual confusing complica- tiona of motions and counter motions, an order was finally issued tn the Superior Court, directing that Barr pay over this money to Mr. B. Lucke. An appeal was taken from this order, put failed to have it get aside, As Mr. Barr still refused to de- liver ub the funds an order was issued directing his commitment to the common jai for contempt of Court, and the same placed in the hands of the Sheriff. Mr. Barr has, however, not been arrested on this order, but enjoyed the benefit of a nomin: arrest, and being considered in tie custody o! bis counsel. Although a writ of habeas corpus carries with it the production of the party named in Mr. Barr did not ap- pear yesterday in Court. However the argument Of the motion to vacate the order of arrest went on all the same as though he was presen! ees Jones appeared on behalt of Mr. Barr. He asked that the order be vacated, on the ground, first, that the precept failed to state that a demand had been made for the money by 4 duly authorized person, and, secondly, that under the Consolidation act there is no ‘auch place as the common jail, The reply was that it was to be pre- sumed that the Court, betore granting the order, had received proof of ademand for the money by & proper party and non-compliance with such de- mand. 8 to the common jail, it was insisted that this meant any jatl to which the Sherif might elect to consign Mr. Barr. At the closé of the argument Judge Donohue took the papers, reserving his decision. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. ‘Rhe Trial of Charles Callender. The trialof the case of Charles Callender was resumed yesterday before Juage Benedict.

Mr. William Fullerton and Mr. Dudley Field a} ared as counsel for the defence, and Mr. A. uray, United States Assistant District Attorney, for the prosecution. On Friday, at tne adjournment of the Court, 4 | Question was asked Mr. Stephenson, ex-President | Of the Ocean Bank, whether ne would have loaned money to Callender if he had not been a bank ex- aminer, To this an objection was interposed by | the defence, and, without passing upon the ques- | tion, the Court adjourned until yesterday, When the Court met yesterday Judge Benedict Said he had decided upon admitting the question, and Mr. Stephenson answered tt in the negative. It appeared in che course of tae evidence tnat when the bank failed Callender owed it about $116,000; that at one time he was allowed to over- craw his account to the extent of $40,000; that it was allowed to stand overdrawn jor thirteen months, and that it was then only paid by the notes of Wild, endorsed by Avery ang Callender. One of those notes, which amounted to $10,v00, was afterwards paid. Mr. Stephenson was examined in reference to the various matters testified to by him on tue ior- | mer trial of this case.

The libel was filed in tae Southern District of New York, but the steamboat was seized by the Marshal while she lay at a dock or basin on the Jersey shore, and accordingly, as was maintained jurisdiction oi the Court, She was in a dork or basin at the time of her seizure, and ‘the question was in what district was the Argo at the ume oO! ber seizure vy tne United States Marsial of this district? The Judge says he is of optnion that this Court acquired jurisdiction over the vessel by the attachment of her at the place where she was attached ; that the libeliant did not take | two notes in payment or waive his lien by taking them, and that the deience of staleness cannot be alleged against his claim. The claimant 1s en- | titled to have the two notes, and whenever they ited with the Clerk of this Court for the the claimant, property endorsed by the to pass the title to them, but without recourse to the libeliant, then let a decree be entered ior the libellant for $552 81, are de use of | with interest from May 14, 1874, with costs, W.

In the Court of Sessions yesterday William Laun was convicted of having broken into and stolen some cigars and liquor from the store of Hugh Larken, No. 108 Union street. He was sent to the Penitentiary for a year. An application was made to sudge Pratt, of the Supreme Coart, yesterday to have Joseph Spillet committed to jail for disobeying an order of tne Court forbidding him to sell papers on the South Side Railroad Company’s cars. Opposition was made to the motion, and counsel argued that the company Was not now tn a condition to bring such asut. Decision reserved. Cecilia Luisen brought suit for a limited divorce from Anthony Luisen on the ground of cruel and {ukuman treatment. The couple were married in 1355, and have had nine children, five of whom are stil living, The case was sent toa referee, who reported in favor of granting the divorce and aliowing plaintiff the custody of the children. A motion to confirm the report was made yesterday before Judge Pratt. Decision reserved. The Walker case was up in the City Court again esterday. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Charles alker obtained an order trom Judge Reynolds directing the father of Lena Walker, a Mr. Hodes, residing at No. 110 Union place, to produce her in court yesterday morning. it appears that Walker, who is @ Hartiord (Conn.) man, eloped with the fair Lena, while she was on @ visit to some friends in Hartford, about a month ago. Shortly after the marriage the father of the bride asked his daughter to his house, and then refused to per- mit her return 1o her husband. When the girl ‘was brought to court yesterday morning Judge Reynolds, while leaving her iree to do as she pleased: tried to persuade ner to return to her usband, Who Was Most anxious to tuke her to his hume in Hartford. The tair Lena, however, refused to leave her father, but told her husband that if he would go to work and make suilicieat money to keep her well she would live with him. The young husband left the Court disconsolate, and Lena re- turned to her Jather’s home. HE BRINCKLEY DIVORCE SUIT. Interchange of Legal Courtesies Between Counsel—Mr. Brinckley’s First Appear- ance in Court—Close of the Plaintiffs Case. The trial of the Brinckley divorce suit was resumed yesterday morning at hall-past ten, in the Supreme Court, Circuit, Part 2, before Judge Van Brunt. Half an hour belore there was a sprinkling of curious spectators in the room. The first of the counsel to arrive was Mr. William H. Anthon, counsel for the defence, with a huge box of papers, the very sight of which, one would have thought, must have appalled Mr. Hi. C. Brown, who appeared for Mrs. Brinckley. Mr. Brown, however, seemed to be perfectly undis- mayed, as he had brought with him a paper moun- tain of like enormous size, Mrs, Brinckley, the plaintiff, who looked worn and pale, was neatly but modestly dressed in a black silk velvet bodice, ‘With @ pretty biue bow. Mr. Anthon addressed the Court once more in regard to the question of the admissibility of testimony about general reputation, He quoted the ruling of the Judge on the former trial that the Bien of marriage by cohabitation could be eaten down by proving t bad reputation or character of the lemale. His Honor had ‘elt bound, TO ABIDE BY THE DECISION of the Court of Appenis. He (Mr. Anthon) had examined that case carefnily, and found that the prosecutrix in that case was aminor, that her mother kept a disorderly house and the prose- cutrix had to live with her. But suppose she had ot her own free will lived in a disorderly house, The Court would then certainly have admitted the testimony in regard to her general reputation. He thereiore claimed that the case had no relevancy or bearing upon this suit, and asked His Honor to admit such testimony as he did bejore. Judge Van Brunt exclaimed, ‘One moment,” and seemed to closely examine some statuie (M Brinckley, the defendant, # thin, small man, wit: a dasiing black mustache, came in at this point, this being hls first appearance at this trial. He con- versed in anxious whispers with his father, who gat beside him.) The Judge then announced that in such cases evidence that a female was unchnasie was certainly exciuded by the decision of the Court of Appeals, and he did not see how he could get over the decision. Mr. Anthon—The decision only showed that proving bad reputation feli short of proving bad character, Judge Van Brunt—Specific acts must be proven. That 1s true. Mr. Antnon—If it be competent to admit the evi- dence that they had the general reputation of liv- ing together as man and wife, is it not right to ad- mit testimony showing that ber character was such that she could not have lived as a law/ul wie? This was shutting out very valuable testi- mony. Judge Van Brant—It seems to me so, too, but 1 don’t see HOW I CAN GBT OVER IT. The Court of Appeals says that bad character cannot be proven by bad reputation, and excludes all testimony 01 this character. Mr. Anthon—Will Your Honor allow us to prove specific acts of immorality? dudge Van Brunt—I might allow subsequent acts, ot previous ones. Mr. William A. Beach (who had come in by this time)—There is no rule under which such testl- mony is Cf eres Mr. Anthon desired to except to the ruling, and it was agreed that the previous testimony, under Which this question came up, should be read, so that the exception might be noted at the proper place. is was done accordingly. Some of the yanny passages called a smile to tue faces of both Mr. ana Mrs. Brinckley. Mrs. Brinckley, after the reading of this testi- Mony, took the stand for a few moments. Mr. Beach—bid you communicate to your father the tact that you were married aecretiy? “ jMrs. Brinckiey—Yes, sir. My father was also sev- @ral weeks at Mrs. Lewis’ with us, and in the presence oi my husband he treated me as his law- Jul wife, and clearly showed that he understood us be man and wife. Mr. Beach—How soon after your marriage was 18? Mrs, Brinckley—About a year; but I announced to my father the fact that we were to be married secretly pefore the marriage took place. Mr. thon—bo | understand you to say that the desendant was ever at Mr. Lewis’ when your father was there? Mrs. Brinck'ey—Why, certainly, And father was there with us for weeks, and Mr. Brinckley saw him every day. He did not live there except for two days, but came there every day, Mr. Brinkley leit for a abort time, and when he returned he found er with me, prosecution rested their case. Judge Van Brum at this stage of the proceedings announced that in consequence of some intelli- Cee on im ao ates would aN pte ie Lo gO on e afternoon, an jour! case fill to-day at ten o'clock.

Among the notable personages present were Mayor Havemeyer, Fire Commissioners Hatch, Perley and Van Cott; Aldermen John J. Morris and Lysaght, Judge B. T. Morgan, Dr. Cheeseman and General Max Weber. Messrs. T. Balley Meyers, Robert Holmes and James McLean, trustees of the fund given by the late Mr. James Gordon Bennett, to be used in the purchase of two gold medals for Presentation to members of the department who should most distinguish themselves for acts of bravery during each year, were also in attendance to witneas'the award of the same to the two fire- men adjudged to be entitled most to receive them. The brigade was under the command of Assist- ant Chief Engineer Oscar Shea, and consisted of the First, Second and Third battalions. The First battalion comprised engine companies Nos. 1, 12, 18, 83.and Hook and Ladder Company No, 2, and was commanded by Assistant Engineer W. H. Nash. The Second battalion consiste’ of Engine com- panies Nos. 7, 14, 18, 26 and Hook and Ladder Com- pany No, 10, commanded by Assistant Engineer James H. Monroe. The Third battalion was mado up of companies Noa. 8, 4, 24 and 34 and Hook and Ladder Company No. 12, Alter passing in review the firemen were drawn up in & hollow square, when Mayor Havemeyer presented the Bennett medals for 1872 to Assistant Foreman Schuch, of Engine Company No. 34, and Alired Connor, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 7, in toe following neat address, The Mayor said :— Gxntixmex—The object of our mecting here to-day is one of special interest to the members of the Fire De- artinent and to our citizens generaliy. 1 am honored y the part assigned to me iu the ceremonies of tho occa- gion. Fidelity in the discharge of public duty, which duty requirvs—asin the Fire Department it oiten doey— the display and exercise of genuine heroism, commanas the public admiration and gratitude. The ‘late James Gordon Bennett, the editor and proprietor oi the HeraLp newspaper, so long go tavorably and so widely Known as the leading Journal in New York, im witnessing the bravery and intrepidity of the firemen in rescuing his own dwelling on Washington Heights trom destruc- tion, was impressed with the convicuon that such acts ot heroism by the Fire Departinent ought allowed to pass without some public recognition, He, therefore, set apar( a und to provide two gold medals annually 'to be presented, to such wembers of the de- partinent as should most distinguish themselves during the year in the discharge of their duty. % @he two members to whom the Commissioners have awarded these medals for their pre-eminent services during the year are Assistant *oremaa Schuch and Fire- man atfred Connor. Yo you, Mr. Scbuch, this medal is presented for vour heroism in rescuing @ child from tie second story of a building; and to you, Fireman Alfred Connor, is presenzed for your perilous etlort to rescue woman trom under the wheels of @ truck while pro- Ceeding to a fire. Although two members of the department can, upon this occasion, be rewarded by means of Mr. Bennett's bounty, I am glad to have it in my power to state to ny fellow citizens that acts such as those recognize, by the presentation of these medais have not. during the past year, been confined to but two members of the force. In many instances activity and faithrulness in the discharge ot their duties have 1 Moa the men in imminent peril of their lives, and it is to their credit and to the honor of our city that they have never failed to face the danger betore them and to prosecute their arduous and perilous labors untu their services were rewarded by tne utmost 88 which human ingenuity and int placed secure for — the terests 3 in In presenting these two medals to you, to whom they have been awarded, I hand them but as tokens of the confidence and admiration of the community in the Fire Department of the city under its present efticient admin- ‘ation, and express the hope that in any emergenc which may occur during the present year your associ- ates wili not fail to remember your example and strive to earn your reward. ‘The Mayor's address was received with great en- thusiasm. “The engines appeared in good condition and the men paraded looked well. Tne Commissioners seemed very proud of their department, and re- ceived the congratulations oi city officials and all others present on the great cfticiency attained by their commana. ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF KILLING HIS WIEE, Yesterday morning Coroner Croker received in- formation that Catherine Monahan, thirty-five years of age, born in Ireland, hai died under sus- picious circumstances at her late residence, No. 619 West Thirty-eighth street. Deceased and her husband, of very intemperaté habits, had lived unhappily together and not infrequently induged in quarrels, on which occasions be would beat her severely. Jt furthermore appeared that Mra. Mon- g@han had died late on Saturday night, and subse- quently her husband applied to Dr. Warren for a burial certificate, alleging that she had been fatally injured by falling down stairs, but the Doctor re- fusea to Interiere. The affair being brought to the attention of Captain McDonnell, of the Twentieth recinet, he made an tnvestigation, which resulted in the arrest of Monahan, the husband.
