THE COURTS: [SecNrsiet. Speccsestiteatit ’ —— The Extradition Treaty with Ger- many---Important Decision, What Constitutes Contribu- tive Negligence. THE “ANDY ROBERTS” CASE Verdict for the Government in the Benoni Howard Bond Suits. THE HODGE DEFALCATION. Postmaster General Jewell bas addressed a com- munication to Postmaster James, of this city, ask- ing (or a report as to the condition of the case of ‘the United States vs. Moses Chamberlain, who is ‘dicted for sending an alleged scurrilous postal | card through the mails. The Postmaster General | states that he will use his best efforts in punish- ing any person who transmits through the mails ‘cards of that character. The case of Chamberlain Went over at the last term of the United States Circuit Court. It will probably be tried at the De- cember term. Yesterday, Edward Wynants was charged be- fore Commissioner Shields with having falsely registered his name as a voter in Mercer street. He was discharged on his own recognizances, The case of Gilpreke and others vs, William Ed- ward Quentrell, which has already been tried twice and involves the question of the payment of some 000 acceptances, came to trial, for the third time, yesterday, before Judge Van Vorst, | holding Supreme Court, Circuit. It will probably | EXTRADITION OF GERMANS. Yesterday, in the United States Circuit Court, Judge Blatchford rgndered an important decision im the extradition cases of Herman Thomas and Joseph Schwick. It will be remembered that Schwick was brought belore Commissioner Ken- neth G, White, under a warrant charging Schwick with having committed the crime of forgery at Munster, Prussia, during 1872 and 1873. His arrest was procured in this city last spring. Commissioner White, beiore whom Schwick’s ex- amination was had, certifed that the evidence | Sick Relief Association, No. 2, and having its head- adduced before him clearly proved the guilt of | quarters im Ninth avenue, in January last elected the accused, whereupon the President of the | Mrs. Dorothy Grunninger as its President. United States issued his mandate for the delivery iF of Schwick to the authorities of the German Em- | society pire under the treaty between the King of Prussia apd the Uni States conciaded in June, 1862. | ‘Thomas was arrested in this city last September on the charge of having obtained 15,000 guilders at Nurenberg, Bavaria, by reason of a forged order or receipt On the Royal Bank of Bavaria, in June | last. His extradition is also asked on behalfof | poreite Eske, and the German Empire under the treaty between the | bank United States and the King of Bavarta, entered ito in 1853. Thomas was uro: 0 “| Court, and, the reguiarity of her election being | o 0 ugnt belore Pomau, | conceaea, Jt sioner Stuweil and by him committed to! examination. Applications were made to Judge Biatciford tor writs of habeas corpus and certio- Faris, Which writs were granted and served just | in time to prevent the involuntary departure of | Sebwick for Gerimany. The argument under the writs came up bdeiore Judge Blatchford three | weeks ago and was abiy argued on both sides, the arguments occupying an entire day. The dis- | charge of both prisoners was clatmed on two principal grounds, First—Because no proper mandate nad been obtained from the Executive Department of the | United Staves authorizing the arrest of the accused. Second—Because the treaties under whicn the extraditions were demanded had been abrogated | by the absorption of Prussia and Bavaria into the German Empire, and because the constitution af the German Empire adopted in 1871 provides that | the Emperor sali represent the Empire among ations, declare war and conciude peace, enter into alliances and other conventions with foreign countries, accredit ambassadors and receive them. The several States which were apsorbea by the German Empire were precluded from making and carrying out any separate treaty with any ioreiga country, and inasmuch as no new vreaty providing | dor'the extradition of tugitive ertminais (only a@ commercial treaty) between the German Empire and the United Srates having been conciuded there existed no treaty under which the accused Can be extradited. Judge Blatchiord yesterday rendered a long and very e\aporate opinion, which was concurred in by Justice Woodrudy, in which he holds tuat it is not necessary for any demanding government first to procure @ mandate Irom the Executive Department of the United States authorizing the arrest of @ fugitive irom a foreign country, but that a complaint may be made, a warrant issued and the jugitive arrested at once. Tms setties long disputed questions on the subject. In reference (Oo the other point the Judge says:— “It is contended on the part of the accused that the convention» with Bavaria was abrogated by the absorption of Bavaria into the German Em- pire. An examination of the provisions of the constitution of the German Empire does not dis- close anything that indicates that then existing treaties between the several States composing the confederation, called the German Empire, and foreign countries were annulled or to be considered as abrogated. |ndeed, 1t is 4iMcult to see bow such 4 treaty as that between Bavaria and tne United States can be aprogated by the action of Bavaria alone without the consent of the United States, Where a treaty 1s violated by one of the contract- ing parties it rests alone with the injured party vo pronounce it broken, the treaty being in such case not absolutely void, but voidable at tue elec- tion of the injured party, who may waive or remit the infracion commitied, or may demand a just satisfaction, ' the treaty remaining obiigator: if he chooses not to come toarupture. Inthe present case the mandate issued by the government of the United States shows that the convention in question is regarded as in jorce both by the United states and the German Empire, represented py its Envoy. The application of the foreign government was made taurough the proper diplomatic representa- tive of the German Empire and of Bavaria, and the compiaint before the Court was made by the representative of the German Empire, and also representing Bavaria.” Judge Biatchiord then dismisses the several writs and remands the prisoners to the custody of the United States Marshal. Under this decision | Scnwick will be taken back to Germany at once and Thomas will have to await a further examina- | tion be.ore the United States Commissioner, | Peter Cook and Charies W. Brooke, counsel for the accused; Salomon aud Burke, counsel for tue | German Empire. CONTRIEBUTIVE NEGLIGENCE, Mary McLain, a child turee years of age, feliinto aD unprotected area, sustaining serious injuries, to recover damages for which suit was brought | Orders grante H against Thomas Von Gondt, owner of the premises on which the accident occurred, The complaint was dismissed, and thereon application was mace to Judge Cartis, holding Speciai Term of the supe- | rior Court, fora new trial. Judge Curtis gave a | decision in the case yesterday, denying the appu- sation, After reviewing the evidence, showing | contributive megligence On the part of the tather, he living next door and having known jor along time that the area was unprotected and yet sena- | ing the child where he knew sue would be exposed Wo danger while he watched her, be says ip bis Opiniou:—**The ehiid was of such vender years that it Was incapable | sei!-protection and could not be Fesponsibie for its own acts, aud by @ law of nature relies upon its parents for guidance and protection. It is uot the policy of the law to award damages where there has been relaxation Of parentai duties aud obligations toward @ | sJeevie oF Unprotected cull. That may tend to en- | courage or induce negiect. Still less, When @ arent, by @ direct act, exposes a child at @ help less und tender age to sulfer injury, does the law } favor the recovery Of damages jor an injury thus caused. This case seems to be one where there | was negligence On the part o: the father which coptrivated to the plaintit’s injury, and where n@ question of jact existed to be edbmitted to the jury. The Judge at the trial properiy granted the motion to dismiss the complaint, The motion jor # new trial must de denied.” AN OLD RAILROAD BOND CASE. In the Supreme Court, Circuit, yesterday, before Judge Lrady, the case of Obrigg & Co. vs. Andrew | L. and Lydia J. Roberts, Was moved on for trial by A. Oakey Hall and ex-Recorder Smith, It is one of several suits begun against Andy Roberta, who was last spring tried for the forgery of immense number of Central apd Western Union bonds, when the jury disagreed. The plain- Which are now in the Sheriff's hands and Mr. Hewitt, for the brokers, moved an ad- journment, and stated that the Governor of Mas- Sachusetts, being about to pardon and let loose ‘he notorious Spencer Pettis, who figured in the t ¢ to obt testimony. Counsel tor Roberts ex- claimed against the absurdity of adjourning a@ Cage to get tainted tegtimony, and only provably @t that, and they indignantly doubted whetner the Governor of Massachusetts, even in his hour of deieat, would commit so great an outrage against the public as to pardon Spencer Pettis. The Judge set the case down peremptorily for hext Monday, when doubtiess there will be some More mtereating tesumony in @ case 80 momen- tous to the Wall street people. ACTION ON A BOND. In the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Nathaniel Shipman, the case of the United States | vs, Benoni Howard has come to @ conclusion. ‘The defendant nad been a manufacturer of | matches, and in 1868 he entered into @ bond, with Elias Howard as surety, ior the payment of $21,000 to the government for match ec which they had furnished him in the course of his business. It bya claimed by the government that this money had never been paid. The defence, among other things, was that the bond had not been regularly executed, The jury found a verdict for the gov- ernment jor the full amount, with interest, which brings it up to sm 2. John A. Goodlett for the United States; Stern for defendant. In tne case of the United States vs. Samuel L. Kennedy, which was an action to recover $10,300 on @ bond given as security for Benoni Howard, an inquest was taken, when the jury returned a verdict for the full amount, with interest, making the whole $13, 203, THE HODGE DEFALCATION CASE. In the United States Circuit Court on Wednes- day, before Judge Nathaniel Shipman, in the case of the United States vs. Polhemus & Jackson, a motion was made on bebalf of the plaintif® to set aside the verdict recently rendered for the de- fendants, on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, ‘The action was brought by the government against tue defend- alts to recover the sum of $500,000, wnich money, is was alleged, had been placed in the hands of the defendants by Mr. J. L. Hodge, a paymaster in the army, for the purpose of carrying on stock operations on hig own account. The government | claimed tnat the defendants knew that the money so deposited with them was the property of the United States; but the verdict Jor the defendants | negatived this assumption. Yesterday Judge Shipman rendered his decision, declaring that the mouon im question must be heard and deter- mined on a cuse or on case and exceptions. Thirty days Were allowed the plaintitfs to prepare their case. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPREME OOURT—OHAMBERS. Rival Lady Presidents.
