To Mr. Pullerton—fh was a negotiation going on in July, 1871, turougi’ Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of this city, for asale of the consolidated bonds of the | Portage Lake Company, in Europe; Kuhn, Loeb & | 0, sent an agent to Europe; I was present at the | oMce of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, when the arrangements | were talked over, on two or three occasions; the | price at which the bonds were to be sold was agreed nm, and Kuhn, Loeb & Co, sent one of ‘their agents to Europe to effecta sale of the Donds; the price of the bouds was to be seventy- five cents on the dollar; the ofer was accepted; this information came by telegrapn, as I was in- formed, but the arrangement was interrupted by the disturbances in Hurope, which were stated to be a cause Of breaking off the negotiation; Mr. Jender knew Of this negotiation; in October, Mr. John B, Howard went to Europe, and he was | @uthorized to sell the bouds there at £150 sterling per bond—$750 in gold; Mr. Wiliams and another | Gentieman irom Englund came out aud made an | examination of the Portage Lake pr To Mr. Purdy—The mtormation land by telegram that te bouds would be placed | Jor sale there, but the Matter was delayed and the arrangement fell tarough; | do not think it was in October, 1872, that Mr. Howard went to Europe to | sell the bonds; | think it was before October, 1871, | but [ have nothing positive to refresh my memory | on that point; I tnink it was in July, 1871. q Did not the whole matter iall turough because | of jalse representations as to the value of the | bonds’ A.

Mr. Fui- Jerton read the opinion, which ted the various tides to the property held by the Portage Lake Company. The original of this opinion was given to a gentieranu who was sent by hula, Loeb & Co, wo Europe for the purpose of negotiating a sale of the bonas there. ‘On cros+exumination the witness satd that i owed the Ocean Bank, at the me oF its fatlure, tu sum Of $6,000, but it had since been paid. Professor Pompelli Was cailed as the next wit+ ness for ‘he defence, and Mr, Fullerton sald he the witness, wno said made examinations of the jands and roperty of the Portage Lake Company in Michigan ; fe was paid by # salary Of $10,000 @ year; at that time he wae not ip any other active employment, Jobo K, Dontap, wbo had been private secretary to Mr. Callender im October, 1871, deposed that he had assisted Mr. Callender in writing up a state- ment in relation to the affairs of the Veean Bank. D. R. Magnum, President of the National Irost Company, gave evidence to the effect that im i87t the commercial standing of Mr. Allred Wild was was annonnced by Mr. Fullerton that the evi- dence sor the deience would be closed by the read- ing of the evidence of Professor Pompelll, as given on the first trial of this case, regarding the value of the Portage Lake property. But beiore this was done cocuse! for the government recalied Benjamin A, Mcvonald, who went through a con- Jusing and perplexing mass of figures to show fhat the Ocean Bank Was Insolvent in October—that they were charging items to profit which should bave been charged bo lose.

Panis closed the defence on both sides. Judge meee asked Mr, Fullerton to go oD with the summing up. Mr. Falierten mid he was very much fatigued, | and would wish the Court to adjourn the case un- | | til morning. If that were done ne would engage | to sum up ia an hour in the morning, if the other side were limited to time, Mr. Purdy deciuned to be limited as to time in his argument. Judge Benedict would not iimit the counsel as to time, but ne must request counsel tor defence to . on with bis argument, The condition of the art and jury required it. Mr. Pullertoa then, at haif-past four o'clock, pro- ceeded With bis argument, contending that there | Was nothing in the law obligatory upon the defend. ant to make & report im writing to the Comptroller of the Curreney., One of the charges tu the inaict- ment Was tliat the detendant had made a false re- | | Port, bat there Was not, he contended, a particle of evidence of that.

Mr. Purdy, at DalSpast six o'clock, commenced hts summing up ou the part of the government, In the course of his argument Mr. Purdy con- tended that the evidence poimted to the guilt of the defendaut, and be dweit upon the faet that the | bank presiwieuts who had made loans to Callender had bot been called as witnesses ior the deience because, as he sald, they would be obliged to ad- mit that they had taken the deposits of their cus- tomers and loaned them out on worthless and bogus security. At hull-past seven o'clock, Mr. Purdy oot having finished his argument, Juage Benedict adjourned the Court till ten o’clock this } | | THE TWEED BILL OF EXCEPTIONS. The Application for a Mandamus Against Judge Davis—Denial of the Applitcation and Reasons for the Denial. Among the decisions rendered yesterday in the Supreme Court, General Term—Judges Davis, Brady and Daniels being on the Bench—was one upon the application for a mandamus against Chief Justice Davis, directing him to settle the Tweed bill of exceptions. In the argument of the case Judge Davis of course, did not sit; but the same was heard by Judges Brady and Daniels, The two latter concurred in their decision denying the ap- plication, Judge Brady writing the opinion set- ting forth the grounds of the decision, The fok lowing is the opinion in full:— - OPINION OF JUDGE BRADY. The rule estabiisued by the cases upon applica- tions Kindred to this 48 that aimandamus will be ordered, commanding a judge to sign @ bill of ex- ceptions, Dut nos to settle it im a particular manuer, where, tuere is a dispute as to the inci- dents of the trial. The Justice who presided must say whether or not an exception was taken, and bis return is controlling, at jeast until iurther pro. ceedings. If tue return is alleged to be false the suggested remedy is by action, (People vs. Judges of Washington, 1 Caines, 511; People vs. Judges of Common Pleas, 2 Caimes, 97; People vs. Judges of Wesccnester, 2 John Cases, 118; Fists vs. Weatner- wax, 2 John Cases, 215; Sikes vs, Ransom, 6 John | Rep., 279; People vs. Sessions Waine Company, 15 How, 393; Tedd’s, 903; Delavan vs. Boardman, 5 Wenn, 132) But whether such a remedy, in iact, exists—quere. (See Weaver vs. Devendor!, § Daneo, 120.) In England, according to Tedd, supra, if the alternative will mot contain the surmise of an exceptivn taken and overraled, the com- and is to sigh the bill, quod si ita est (If it be so) ; but il the Judge returns quod non ta est (it 18 not so), an action lies at the instance of the aggrieved party. Ifthe estaolisn the falsity of the return he | vers damages, and the peremptory mandamus lorth because the jury have declared that the tion Was taken. in this State in one case it $ \d that a referee would be compelled by Iuandamus to settle the case and settle tt cor- rectly (Lhe People vs. Baker, 35, Barbour, 105), but | the writ was not issued owing to some insormality in the proceedings. The decision was made ata special term and ig predicated of the cases in1 aines, 6 John and 8 Wend-, supra; but an examination of tbese cases shows that the proposition saserted 1s not warranted by any case in which it las been deciared that a manding lim to setdea bili of exceptions in a particular manuer, when, as to the manner, there Was adispute. There were no authorities to that effect cited on the argument. In this matter there isa dispute a8 to the correctness of the bili, ag passed upon by the Presiding Judge, in reference to excepiuons, and he certifies that it is correct. Although baving directed it to be cngrossed, it las not yet been presented for his signature. There seems to be @ concession that an exception was taken to the exclusion of the Juror Hayes, upon a chaienge to the lavor; but the Presiding Justice certifies that he was excluded for mental incom- petence, and it was so understood. Upon a carefni eXamination, Rot only of the application, I have arrived at the conclusion, for the reasons assigned aud those presented by Judges Daniels and West- brook, that the mendamus asked for should not be be granted. THE TERESA ustody of the Child Given to “The heltering Arms”—Opinion of Judge Brady. At length a judicial decision has been reached in | the case of the young girl Teresa Small, the ques- tion as to the custody of whom has been for sev- eral weeks past the subject of Investigation in the | courts, The examination began before Judge Lawrence, of the Supreme Court, but the argu- ment of the opposing counsel, Mr, William F. Howe, who appeared for the father of the girl, and United States Commissioner Davenport, who took | up the legal cudgels for Police Commissioner Gard- ner and Captain Willams, of the Eighth precinct, charged with the abduction of the girl, took place before Judge Brady, who gave yesterday his de- cision in the matter, by which, as will be seen, be Teluses to give the child to the father, but orders her to be placed temporarily in the care of “The Sheltering Arms.” Judge Brady embodied his decision in the following opinion :— JUDGE BRADY'S OPINION, This proceeding does not invoive any question of the conduct of Commissioner Gardner in doing | SMALL CASE. as jaims and proves, irom a den of infamy—a , panel thef apartment attended by abandoned women for i¢lonious , purposes, It is but just, however, to him to say that he testified that the door oi Mrs. Small’s room was not broken open, but opened by her upon request or demand, and LThave no doubt of the truth:of that statement. It may also be said, without‘passing npon the | legal responsibilities ‘assumed by the act com- | mitted to accomplish the result attained, that as | the child was nol taken from the custody of her | fatuer on that occasion no wrong was done him, and he cannot complain that another did for him what he should have been swiit todo not only for himself, but his child, She is now but thirteen | years old, and has not, therefore, even in this | period of fast development and early aa- sumption of individual capacity, arriyed at {an age when she tay be salely trusted to | | her own judgment and control. She required the | | watchful and considerate care of her parents, and | tt benoved her father, when she was placed at ser- vice, to see to It that she was not exposed to dan- serous infiuences and bad example. It was aduty | which he owed not only to the community of which he isa member, but particularly to her, to guard her against associations which would tend to uer ruin when he parted from her custody and | placed her ander the care of another. The evi- dence on this proceeding fully discloses that he has been grossly negligent in this respect. He placed lis child and permitted her to remain with | a Woman of notorious character, living tn a house | opposite his own dwelliny, aad oi whose repura- on he could have advised himself Without troup) Not only did he do that, but after he bad taken hi child from the changed residence of Mrs. Small at night he conseated that she shouid return to Mrs. _ Small, who took her to some place, whither he says he dil not know, His conduct, indeed, justifies the presumption that be was indifferent as to her destinauon oremployment. It is apparent, toere- | fore, that he {8 unfit to be intrusted at present | with her care and maintenance, She pow requires vigilant atiention and moralcnivase, Itis a pain- mi duty so to aeciare, but the obiigation ts ireely | met and discharged without reluctance. The law of the land 1s broad enough to protect children | irou the errors of delinquent parents, and will not | fail through its officers to endeavor to prevent the | injustice which wonld otherwise ensue. Society demands that a child shall be saved from a itfe of | shame, and the laws of God and man snetain the | demand, When the parcatis derelict he becomes | unworthy of the charge, his trust is forfeited, and the law assumes it, leres@ has not, it ia tobe | | hoped, so far transgressed that she may not yet be | | saved, although she has yielded to pad example and pernicious influences. She is intelligent, modest in demeanor and impressive in her quiet conduct and gentie manners. [ entertain no doubt that she will readily receive proper instruc. | tions for ber future and yield tothe influences of | | good example. In the hope of this result she will | be placed in the metitation, “fhe Sheltering Arms,” there to remain until the further order of the Court, Ordered accordingly. | THE MURDERED POLICEMAN, sinensis } John Given Found Guilty of Manslangh- | ter in the Fourth Degree tor Shooting Officer Glbney—Sentence Postponed Till | Monday.

The case ior the prosecution rests mainly, almost ex- cinsively, on the testimony of Adam Halk, an a8s0- ciate night watchman with Given, who was in the room on the dock at pier No, 1 on the night of the occurrence, and who detailed the circumstances Of | the shooting from his personal observation. It ap- peared in evidence that the deceased and the peeoner bad been good friends up to and includ- Ing that evening, and that they bad @ irendly trial of skill at wresiling and boxing just previous to the shooting. It was @ Mi? § stormy nigh! and the prisoner had loan the decease & woolen jacket to protect bim jrom the rain. ihe prisoner Was sworn iu his own defence. He gave @n account of the transactions between the par- Blin the pistol at the deceased; that it went off in his hand without any intention on his part of | firing, aud that when Halk said, “Gibney’s shot,” | he (the prisoner) could not realize that it was the pistol which he held in his band thas pad gone, of, So that ue told Halk immediately to go and jook at the pistol, which the prisoner had just laid down, and see if Chere were not six shots in it; he said | he took the pistol up merely to friguten the de- | ceased, and us he raised his band it went om.

The Recorder then gave a very clear and succinct charge. The jury were out but about twenty minutes, when they brought in & vei dict of mansiaughter in the ourth degree. The | prisoner shook hands with his counsel and warmly thanked them Jor the success that had crowned ter efforts, evidently feeling that to them he was indebted for being saved from the gallows. At their request sentence was deterred til] Monday. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPBEME OOURT—OHAMBERS, The Italian Shooting Case.

I have no means whither he went is not positively known in tuis community. He has a brother living in Memphis Who 13 said tobe wealthy and an estimable gen- tleman. A few days ago he made his ap- pearance in Newuan—remained here a short time and than went to the country. On Wednesday evening last he returned to town and at about three o’clook bought @ pocket knile from one of our merchants, He then went directly to the store of his wife. Scarcely had he entered the store when loud screams were heard, and ‘a number of neighbors immediately ran to ascertain the cause of tue Screams, when they were met at the door by the a@ying woman as she rushed into the streets in her fiignt from her assailant, with her lifeblood gush- ing !rom six wounds inflicted by the man who had sworn to love and protect her, either four of which would have been Jatal, She had scarcely reached the street before ahe sunk to the ground, She was followed by her little children, who, in their fright and desperation, clang to her until they were lit- erally bathed in their mother’s blood, Mr. Brinck- ley was, of course, immediately arrested, when tt was found thas he had apparently made an etfort to take his own lie, having in- flicted four alight wounds in the lower part of nis abdomen, none of them extending through the hollow. Mrs. Brinckley’s wounds con- sisted of one stab in her breast, two in her back, one in each arm and one in the side—four of which. penetrsied to the cavity. ‘The unfortunate woman ived about two hours and died in great agony. A large and excited crowd collected on the stree: best citizens wero open in their advocacy of the immediate lynching of the man who had dyed his hands in the blood of his wife. A conference of some of the calmer of our citizens was held, and they determined to do every thing in their power to HEY any act that would add another crime to taat which had already beencommitted. Mayor Berry issued @ proclamation cating upon good citizens to unite in patting down and discouraging anything like lawlessness, At length better coun- cil seemed tO prevall, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Asa precautionary measure, however, the Newnan Guards, Captain J. W. Anderson com- manding, were called out for the purpose of guard- ing the jail during the night. NEOESSITY OF POG WHISTLES, New Yorke, May 20, 1874. To THE EDITOR OF THB HEBALD:~— ‘The grounding of the steamship Idaho on Fire. Island, which fortunately, through a light westerly ‘wind and consequent smooth sea, was unattended by serious consequences, furnishes another 1n- stance of the culpable parsimony pursued by our Treasury Department and Lighthouse Board. Sev- eral years ago avery powerlul steam fog whistle ‘was perfected by.a resident of this city, and nas since been attached to several of our principal lighthouses. One of these steam whistles on Fire Isiand would have given the Idaho timely warn- of ascertaining the cost, but that ougut certainly to be of minor consideration where thousands of lives and miilions of property are annually at stake, Wherever a lighthouse 1s nécessary on our northern and eastern coasts as team fog whistle 1s equally 60, and no criminal economy ought to prevent its erection.
