CCURT NOTES. Judge McAdam, of the Marine Court, kas written An essay entitled “Law Days; or, Dies Judicii— ommonly Called Laws of Courts—their Applica- ion to Courts in General, and Particularly to we Marine Oourt of the City of New York.” The law courts, of necessity, under the existing order of things, feel the influence of election week. The November Term commences on Mon- aay next. But little or nothing will be done. The courts close on Tuesday by statute, 1849, which ‘*pecifies among others days for adjourning over ‘the day of any general or special election, Elec- Won week has always been considered an “ot ‘week’ in the courts. United States Commissioners Osborti and Shields ‘Will hold courts at convenient places, not yet de- ‘termined on, in the city during election day, tor the purpose of hearing and determining cases ‘hat may arise from alleged election frauds, Judge Blatchford, in addition to his other la- bortous duties, edits the United States Circuit Court reports, well known as ‘‘Blaichford’s Ke- ports." Judge Shipman will resume the trial of jury causes on Wednesday next, the day alter election, in the United States Circuit Court. Jadge Woodruff will continue the hearing of the Pavenport cage to-morrow. Judge Joachimsen, of the Marine Court, feels ‘that a brief rest 1s absolutely needed by him, and aa he 18 unassigned for November will embrace the opportunity, and will, no doubt, make the . Most of tt. ‘The legality of holding trial terms in July and August—which was a subject of discussion among the legal fraternity—has by decision of the Gen- eral Term of the Marine Court been sustained. Ail Jadgments renderea at trials held during these months are pronounced valid. Five of the Judges of the Court, it 1s said, are unanimous on the ques- tion, DOCK COMMISSIONERS AND HAR- BOR MASTERS. Oharies H. Mallory & Co. erected a shed on pler 20, North River, to be used in connection with heir steamer plying between this port and Texas, permission having been given by the Dock Dommissioners, The Harbor Master interfered, Slaiming that they had no right to con- tipue the use of this shed, and from that ‘time there arose a suit which, after pending aiong time in the courts, finally reached the Supreme Court, General Term. It came up on an appeal from a judgment rendered at Special Serm by Judge Brady, restraining defendants from maintaining a shed on pier 20, East River, pnd from interfering with the free use of said pier ve Ma public, as the same was used before said was placed thereon; also irom an order deny- ing @ motion made by defendants to refer back the cause to the Judge who tried it, with directions to make a specific finding ‘that numerous steam transportation lines running vessels between New York and other ports, both domestic and foreign, have jor many years maintained u Ri occupied by them—some upon the Kast er and others on the North River—similar sheds, without disturbance from the public au- thorities.” The Court gives decision through Judge Lawrence. The Steam Company had permission from the Commissioners of Docks to erect the shed in question. The Harbor Master interfered, and he was sustained by Judge Brady. The Gen. eral Term now declares that if the vock Commi sioners permit ftilegal structures elsewhere ti 4s no reason why this particular shed should be allowed and the order of Judge Brady at Special Term is confirmed. A BANK IN A RECEIVER'S HANDS. The Nattonal Bank of the Commonwealth in 1873 became insolvent, and, under the Currency act, Was passed into the hands of areceiver. Waile in the hands of such receiver process was served on the President of the bank in a suit brought by the Security Bank of the City of New York, to recover money claimed to be due the latter. No attention was paid by the President to the service of the process, nor did he give notice to any other oMicer of the bank or to the receiver, and the result was that judgment by default was rendered for $57,000. Motions were made to open the de- fault and from the juagment denying such motions. Appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, General Term. In delivering the opinion o1 the Court Judge Daniels characterizes the action of George Ellis, the President of the Board, as fol- lows :—“‘He, to use his own language concerning his singular and extraordinary conduct following the service, supposing that his connection with the Court ceased py the appointment of a re- ceiver, took no notice of any paper that was served upon him as an officer thercof, and did not do so tm Fegard to the sammons herein, nor did he {nform said receiver of said service. This is the Sworn statement of the detendants’ President. And itso completely describes his utter want of moral a8 weil as official sense of accountability as to dispense with all further attempts at charac. terizing his conduct.” Strenuous has ae the opening ‘of the de- the ground that the order de- Tying the motion at Chambers to open the judgment was not within the discretion of the Judge making it, and, therefore, not appeal- able. Judge Daniels holds on this point that walle the order was # discretionary one, yet it was an -order affecting a substantial right, aod was, there- fore, appe: labie. He concludes his opinion as fol- low The bank continued to exist, notwith- standing the appointment of areceiver. The suit ‘waa, therefore, properly instituted against it, and the defence should accordingly be made by it. The order appealed from ‘should be reversed, with $10 costa and disbursements on the appeal to the defendant and appellant and an order should be entered setting aside the judgment and allowing the defendant, within ten days aiter notice of the Yraer, to serve an answer to the complaint, or ress. within that time of $10, costs of opposing le motion, and the disbursements made on the entry of the juugment.” THE PUBLIC PARADE GROUND. Some time ago the Commissioners of Pubic Parks andertook to provide a parade ground at the upper end of the isiand, and Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment were appointed, Subd- sequently, however, the Commissioners of Parks decided to abandon the project, and tne property owners moved for an order compelling the Vom- missioners of Estimate and Assessment to go on with tae work, which was denied and appeal was taken. The General Term, through Judge Daniele confirms the order of the Court below, holding that, as the appointment of Commissioners ot Estimate and essinent did not deprive the owners of title or possession, they had no sub- tantial ht to come in; that the power con- rred on the Commissionors of Parks is as broad as t conferred on the Mayor, and included the power property has wot been actually taken vagsession Of discontinuing in such a case when the- NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1874—QUINTUPLE SHEET. ofby the city, although the site may have been geiected and the maps filed. BACK PAY OF SOLDI‘RS. George 8, Thompson collected back pay for two discharged soldiers, Joun and William White, aud forwarded it by express to their address in In- diana, The digcharned soldiers, however, could not be found, Suit was then orought by Mr. Thompson against the express compy¥y tO recover posses- ston of the money, and each patty claimed to bo accountable to the United star? for tt, and therefore’ entitled to possession tor fhe pres ent. Judgment was given for the express gom. pany, and platotif appealed. The Generas Term decides that though fe plainfiit produced ov the trial a certified copy of the muster roils of Come any H, Eleventh lilinois cavalry, showing that he names of the claimants were not oF tt, yet he admitted that he procured the muney by produc- ing at Springtieid copies o! the discharges, signed by M. Campbell, ax Captain of the kighta iowa in- fantry, commanding, and it therefore Tay that the Whites were real beings, und Mr, Thompson is not entitied to recover. The decision below Was accordingly contirmed, THE COHEN BANKRUPICY. SOUT Yesterday the case of Hyde, assignee, v8. Cohen aud others, was called on for argument in the United States District Court hefore Judge Biatch- ford. This was @ bill in equity by the assignee to recover a Jarge amount ol goods alleged to be in the possession of the defendants and claimed by the plainti@® to be the property of the bankrupts, John and Sigmund Warsting. The value of the goods 13 stated to be about $75,000, Testimony was taken at great length before Commissioner Betts, and when the matter was called up yester- day, the deiendant not belng quite reavy to go on, tho hearing was perempvorily fixed tor Saturday next. A large number of creditors in Boston are represented by tne assignee. It is claimed by the assignee that property to the value of several thousands o1 dollars has been concealed by the bankrupts, and that the proceeds of the same are alleged to pave been traced with tne stock held by the defendant Cohen.

In the matter of Jonn H. H. Cushman, ao bank- rupt, Judge Blatchford, of the United States Dis- trict Court, has given the following decision:—‘‘As jt appears that the bankrupt omitted from bis schedule certain debts which he asserts were out- lawed, on the ground that they were outlawed, and the creditors hoidivg such debts have had no notice of the bankruptcy proceedings, the pank- rupt bas not coniormed to all the requirements of the act. Therefore his discharge cannot be granted, and the case must be reterred back tothe Register for such further action as he may take on the application of either party to him.” * SUPREME QOOURT—TRIAL TERM. Compulsory Affidavits. In the case of Spratt vs. Huntington, the question was raised whether a party toa suit can be ex- amined under section 401 of the code, which allows a compulsory affidavit to be got for the use of @ motion. Judge Daniels, of the Supreme Court, General Term, the other judges concur- ring, holds that’ the section referred to does not repeal the provisions of section 369, chapter 6, which says that a party to asuit shall only be examined prior to trial under the provisions of that chapter.

On the opening of the, Criminal Court to-day Mr. Davidge said that a few days ago he, as coun- sel for Harrington, was served with a@ notice to produce the statements of Benton and Hayes, which were read beiore the Investigating Com- mittee of Congress, and he desired now to make a return to the notice, which he did by declaring that the statements were prepared by Thomas P, Somerville, and were leit, as Harrington thinks and avers, with that committee. He made the same return in behalf of Williams. MICHAEL HAYES ON THE STAND, Michael Hayes was called and cross-examination contmued by Mr. Davidge :—Witness did not regis- ter under any other Name than his own when he came to this city. “Did you not register under the name of Butler, with M. ©. alter it?” “No, sir; I never registered at the Metropolitan Hotel. You will find that was a member of Con- gress, who was there at that time.” Mr. Riddle—Oh! Mr. Hayes bas never been to Congress. (Laugnter.) By Mr. Davidge—Witness was engaged in the shipping business in 1872; was solicitor for shipping crews and sometimes solicited captains, “Dia you not tell me yesterday that you never acted in that capacity?” “No, sir; you asked me if I was a runner fora sailor boarding house. I do not recognize any such term; I never found it in the dictionary.” “Well, you may be right about the vernacular, but Tam right about the truth.” Witness did solicit boarders for a sailor’s board- ing house; never engaged in any illegal or dis- reputable business until I went to Washington for the Secret Service division. Several extracts from the committee's report were read, and witness was asked if he did not swear to such things. Witness said he did not; that there were sev- eral mistakes in that report as to dates; witness had studied that book very thoroughly. Mr. Davidge—Well, now, Hayes, you must be- have yourself or Ade will be made to do it, or the Court will take hold of you. Juage Humphreys—Well, Mr. Davidge, the wit- ness has @ right to protect himself. Mr. Davidge—Not by impudence, Your Honor. Judge Humphreys—I can’t tell how far impu- dence may be retorted. Mr. Davidge—Weill, [am not aware that I merit that remark. Judge Humphreys—Now sit down, Mr. Davidge, ou Will be made to do so. 1. Davidge—Very well, sir. Other portions were read and questions asked, when witness said:—I only gave the Investi- gating Committee the outlines of the scheme, Wwitnout entering into details,” “Were you uot told over and over again to tell all you knew about the matter, and did you not swear you had told the wnole story 1 “Do not remember that I did 80.” “Did not you 80 sweur ?? Judge Humphreys—Mr. ‘Davidge, you must not repeat the word 8 80 oiten, It is objection- abie. The witness is sworn to state the truth, the whole truth, and nothing out the truth at tue be- ginning. He swears but once, and it is a continu- ous ont. You must use the words:—"Did you so Mr. Davidge—Does Your Honor object to my vernacolar ?

Net- tlesbip had given him $200 to go away with; doubted whether he should have signed the adl- davitif he had not recetved the $200.

Davidge replied, ‘Well, Your Honor can at least allow me to reduce the proposition to writing und note an exception,” Mr. Davidge commenced to write, when the Judge oraered the jury out of court and directed Mr, Davidge to read, alter which the Vourt sustained the objection.
