THE COURT A Custom House Case---Charge of Smuggling. "THE SUIT AGAINST JUDGE BENEDICT, Compositions in Bankraptey--Important Decision by Judge Blatchford. Another Conviction for Man- : slaughter. ‘The Alleged Italian Bandit in Court. Judge Blatchford has granted a preliminary in- i Junction in the suit of the Pennsylvania Salt Com- pany against B, T. Babpitt, restraining them from iniringing upon the patent of George Thompson for putting up concentrated lye, The old suit of Jonn A. Gray against 8, W. Green, growing out of dimecuities cuiminating in a disso- lation of partnership, the full particiilars of which has been heretofore published, was the subject of & prolonged argument yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, heiore Judge Donohue, No decision was arrived at, the Court taking the papers, Judge Donohue, of tne Supreme Court, yester- day dented the motion made some time stnce to re” move Wm. Butler Duncan from the position of trus- tee of mortgages of the Chesapeake ana Onto Rail- road Company, The motion was denied on the ground of want of jurisdiction. It was made, as ‘will be remembered, on the alleged grouna of a refusal of Mr. Duncan to foreclose the mortgages, amounting to some $15,000,000. Judge Daniels, of the Supreme Court, bas Onally decided that he will simply overrule the point made by the judgment creditors against Henry Ciews & Co.—that is tO say, that the omission to Mle the bond did not invalidate the assignment, but he permits the examination to proceed to seo \f there are not other reasons why the judgment Creditors should not have the relief they seek. Be at first supposed that the matter was finally submitted, and so dismissed the proceedings, but now decides that this was an error on his part, arising from a misunderstanding between coun- sel, and therefore continues the proceedings. ALLEGED GLOVE SMUGGLING. a In the United States District Court, before Judge Blatchford, when the cage of the United States vs. fhree Trunks, containing kid gloves, was called | yesterday counsel for the claimant, Sampson Levy, stated that he had again to apply to tne Court for ® postponement. In support of his mo- uion he read the affidayit of the claimant, to the effect that at the time he imported the goods he intended to have the goods regu- larly entered, and that without the evidence of two witnesses, who were absent, Mr. Frank and Mr. Rowe, it would not be safe for him to go to trial. He expected that Mr. Frank would depose to the conversation that took place between the claimant and the Oustom House officer on the dock and Mr. Rowe, who was the room-mate of the claimant on tho voyage, would depose that there was no secrecy whatever in regard to the bringing in of the gloves. An aMdavit of Robert Levy, brother of the claimant, was also read, to the effect that his brother was tvo ill to leave his house, and that when he got notice of trial he did ail ne possibty could for the purpose of secur- {mz the attendance of the witnesses, Frank and Kowe, but he had not been able todoso, One vi them had gone West, but was expected pack about Christmas. Counsel further said that tt ap- peared to the Court yesterday that whe was too to leave home, and | there was no doubt whatever that the witnesses referred to were material for the defence. There ‘was another circumstance to whicn he thovght 1c right to call the attention of the Court, and the Qourt would give it such weight as it aeemed proper. His Honor knew that there was a ditter- ence of opinion as to the construction of the act 01 1799, under which this question arises. Where the goods were landed under the supervision of tne government officer His Honor held that there ‘Was a technical landing that rendered them liable to lorfeiture, no permit having been granted; put a different View was taken by a judge in another district, An appeal was taken before Judge Woodruff, and the matter wa8 now being argued | betore him, and his opinion would be rendered be- fore the next term of the Court. There was no | particuiar reason why the case should be pressed On for trial now, especially as the questions in- | volved were pending an appeal in the Circuit ourt. dudge Blatchford—I see no reason for postponing the trial. A jury having been sworn, Mr. Smith, United States Assistant District At torney, opened the case to the jury. He said that on the 24th of August the Claimant landed at this ortirom Liverpool in the steamer City of Ches- er, having with him at'that time three trunks containing 1,718 dozen of kid gloves, silk good-, silk umbrellas, pieces of cloth, @ violin, pieces of linen, two sutchels, four pairs of shoes and other articies, all of which were liable to pay duty to the United States, ‘he gloves were liabie to pay Nity per cent duty, ad valorem, and the siik sixty per cent ad valorem. ‘Thus the jury could see what a large amount of duty was Gue to the government on tocse articles, the value of which was between Jour and five thousand dollars, The claimant was allowed to land with three satchels, but the trunks were not on the manileat of the ship. The claimant had not made a declaration concerning them, and he landed pe- fore any permit was given for the landing ot the goods, ‘this was on Sunday. ‘The officer saw three unclaimed trunks lying on the wharf and they were taken into the snip’s office on the dock, where, on Monday, they were seized and examine by the Custom House officer, anu found to contain the gioves, Ac., inclosed in tin cases, tightiy soidered up. ‘Ihe claimant soon alter claimed the goods as nis property. Counsel for the govern- Ment observed that the claimant bad attempted to bribe the officers of the Custom House to allow toe trunks to come in free. The deience is that there was no intent what- ever to defraud the government; that the claim. ant or his brother produced to the Custom House officer papers purporting to be the invoices of tne is, and that he intended to pay the duty in a egal and proner manner, ‘he further bearing of the case was adjourned Bill to-day. a TEE JUDGE BENEDICT §svIT. The case of Edward Lange against Judge Bene- ict, of the United States Circult Court, and which from the peculiar circumstances surrounding it promises to become one of the causes célebre of this country, came on for argument yesterday be- fore Judge Van Brunt, holding Supreme Court, Special Term, on the demurrer mterposed by tne defendant to the piaintifi’s complaint. The facts briefy told are as follows:—In 1873 Edward Lange was indicted for unlawially having in Dis possession certain Unitea States matl bags, and in November last he was tried before Judge Benedict and convicted of having such bags of jess than $25 value, the pun- ishment of which, under the statute, is a fine of Not less than $10 nor more than $200, or !mprison- ment for a term not exceeding one year. Judge Benedict sentenced Mr, Lange to be imprisoned one year and to paya fine of $200. Immediately therealter the fine was patd to the Clerk of the Court, by whom it was paid into the United States Treasury, and Lange was imprisoned under said sentence. A writ of habeas corpus wus sued out showing these facts sand waa made returnavie belore Judge Bexedict, wro vacated the sentence and then against the protest oO! Mr, Lange’s counsel proceeded to resentence Mr. Lange to @ year’s imprisonment. A second writ of habeas corpus was then sued out and taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the second sentence was adjudged to be void. In the meantime Mr, Lange was held in prison under the second sentence and there re- | here Until the Supreme CGuurt directed his dis+ charge. Upon ovtaining his discharge Mr, Lange com- pe gap eg gs in the Supreme Court ut the State of New York against the detendaut for al lewed aise imprisoument, claiming $50,000 dam- ages. By an agreement between Messrs. Arnoux, Kitch & Woodiord, attorneys tor Mr. Lange, and Messrs. Tracy, Uatlin & Brodhead, atrorneys for Judge Benedict, the complaint was drawn so as to | set Up all Lhe facts in ihe cise, and ademurrer was | interposed thatine complaint did not state (acts suilicient lo coustitute a cause of action,or, in ovher words, that admitting everything stated in tie yomplaint to be true, no rignt to sue the defendant © s. |} on saturday, fas suown. General Tracy presented an aple and NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET, { Interesting argument, in which he contended (hat the courts have invariably protected the judges of the courts of record trom any actions that Inight be brought against them by private suitors for any errors they might have committed tn the judgments pronounced by them and that this im- mantty Was so complete and sacred that such suit could not be maintained even when malice aud corruption could pe shown; that this tmmu- nity was due to the proper administration of Justice, and that the wrong sustained by the suitor would be infinitely less than the injury that would result in the administration of tustice if the con. | trary view should prevail, [iustrating this part | of his argument General Tracy cited the famous case brought against the Recorder of Lonaon, The Ronee Wiliam Penn was arrested and rought besore the Recorder for street preaching. The jury, contrary to the charge of the Recorder, acauitted the accused, and thereupon the Recorder (ned the jury and imprisoned the plaintit, who refused to pay the fine; he was dis- charged on habeas corpus and then sued the Re- corder jor the taise imprisonment, The Court sait that the maimtenance of such an action would be more subversive to Justice than the illegal act of the Recorder, General Tracy also contended that the original sentence was yalid and still in force if the subsequent act was illegal, that the original sentence covered a fine tor one count in the in- dictment and the imrisonment for another count, and that the payment of the One was tLegally made, having been made to the Clerk without any rule, and that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States was baged on an error tn aa- suming that \Be fine was duly paid. Mr, Arnoux of counsel ior Mr, Lange opened his argument by alluding to the posiiion of counsel who attacked the tlegal action of those in power, and then gare a history of the case from its com- mencement until the hearing before the Supreme Court. Mr. Arnoux then proceeded to show that the unbroken current of English and American de- cisions was that in courts of limited jurisdiction the Judge was not protected when ne exceeded his jurisdtetion, which was conceded by the de- fendant’s counsel, and that every court had used language broad enough to cover the case of the acts of judges in courts of record who knowingly act without jurisdiction, To the glory of tle Judiciary it appears that no judge of a court of record in America and but one in England had ever been successfully sued, The whole question in the case turns upon the teal effect of the sec- ond sentence. The Supreme Court declared that when the first judgment was pronounced and had been executed the power of the court that sen- tenced Mr. Lange was ended, and, therefore, Mr. ‘Arnoux contended, that the second seutence was wholly without jurisdiction and void; that the frat sentence, although tilezal, was valid until re- versed or vacated, and that made the case of the Recorder a parallel case, but the second sentence was wholly coram non Judes, and afforded no pro- tection whatever to the Court or officers in any respect. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Van Brunt took the papers, reserving his decision. COMPOSITIONS IN BANKRUPTCY. In the United States District Court, in the mat- ter of Morris Reiman ana Albert Friedlander alleged bankrupts, Judge Blatchford yesterday rendered an opinion. It appears that at a meet- ing o: creditors there was a resolution passed varying a composition previously agreed upon and accepted. This resolution was confirmed in a regular manner, and when it was brought to the attention of Judge Blatchford, together with a statement of the assets and debts of the bank- rupts, the Jatter asked that {t be recorded and the statement placed on file. In giving his opinion on thia point the Juage says:-— The statute provides that the conditions may, by resolutions passed tn the manner and under the circumstances provided in relation to one original resolution for composition, add to or vary the provisions of any composition previously accepted by them without prejudice to any per- sons taking interest onder auch provisions who do not assent to such addition or variation. It further provides that any-such adaitional resolu- tion passed in the manner and under the circum- stances aforesaid shall be presented to the Court in the same me meta and proceeded witn in the same way and with the same consequences as the resolution by which the composition was accepted in the first instance. This requires that alter the Tesoiution Varying the provisions of the composi- tion previously accepted shall have been passed and confirmed aad presented to the Court, it shall be proceeded With in the same way as the original resolution was proceeded with, in regard to the original resolution, the stotute expressiy requires that the Court shall, “upon notice to all the creditors of the debtor of not less than five days and upon hearing inquire whether such resolution has been passed in the manner directed by this section.” It fol- Jows that tnis second resolution cannot now be recorded, but that a meeting on notice to ull the creditors must ve cailed in like manneras a sec- ond meeting was called iu respect to the original Tesolution, to inquire whether the second resolu- tion has been passed In the manner directed by the statute. As it appears that creditors who at- tended at the meeting when the second resolu- tion was passed objected to the passing of such resolution tor reasons then and there stated by them, such creditors must have notice of the time and place of presenting ro the Court the praceed- ings o1 the meeting now to be called, so that they may be heard, and they will then be at jiverty to present to tho Court, as wellas any other cred- itors, any papers which are relevant to show that the composition 18 one Which ought not to be sanctioned by the Court. THS HOFNAGLE-HAS3 HOMICIDE. The Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judge Barrett on the bench, was occupied yesterday in the trial of anotier homicide case, The party on trial was John Hofnagle, there having been an indictment found against him for manslaughter in the first de- gree, The charge against him was the killing of one John Hass on the night of the 21st of March, 1874, on Ninth avenue, between Seventieth and Seventy-first streets, It seemed there was a dance | | Mrs. Kate A. Peck brings sult as executrix of Mr, | at the house of the prisoner’s father, @ saloon on the corner of Seventieth street and Ninth avenue, | ‘ho festivities went on, and toward midpignt many of the party got intoxicated. The prisoner and the deceased somehow engaged in an angry altercation, in the course of which blows were ex- changed, A short time aiterwards Hass leit the Jace and procecded home wards. The prisoner aiso left, following deceased, They met again outside and renewed the quarrel. Aiter indulging im bit- ter recriminatton both men returned to the saloon. Here they remained some time, when the de- ceased again departed; Hoinagle a second time followed, remaining absent put a brief time. When ne returned he was heard to remark that he had killed the —-—, On the ensuing morning Hass was found dead between Seventieth and Seventy-tirst streets, Deputy Coroner Marsh testified to an examina. | tion of the body of deceased; several contusions were found on the head; the skull was iractured and blood was tound on the brain; the knees were abrased; death ensued irom vioence, im nis opin- ton; deceased had received a very heavy biow on the head from some blunt instrument. Captain Mclivaine testificd that the prisoner coniessed to him in the station house that he had a dificulty with and had struck Hass twice on tre head and neck witn Nis fist; witness accused him of having struck with @ deadly weapon, and be did not deny tt. ‘fo Counsel—At first the prisoner denied all knowledge of striking deceased at all; subse- quently he acknowledged striking him three or four umes; he did not say exactly that he had used any weapon or stone, Several other witnesses testified to seeing the two men fighting. ‘rhe deténce contended that the prisoner had nothing whatever to do with the killing, and that deceased met his death by some means outalde the accused nitogether. é The jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter in | tne fourth degree. Sentence was deferred till ‘Tharsday. ITALIAN BRIGANDAGE. Angelo ail Glacomo, alias Ciccaviolla, Was again | defore the courts. he onght to, and a suit was the result, the former employing Messrs, Breen & Gearon as counsel, and the latter Magnus Gross. A temporary injunction | was obtained enjoining Job from iaterfering with the property, bur for allthis itis charged against Joo that on jast Saturday nignt he broke off the locks and remoyed some of the goods, The case came up yesterday on an order to show cause why the injunction should not be continued. ‘rhe defence ts that Enke was nota partner, DUG only receiving percentages on the sales. In au- Swer (0 this i is Keb Up that the experience of Enke tn this branch of business was accepted in lieu of capital, Judge Donohue took the papers. street Commissioners’ Fees. There was a lengthy argument tn this court yesterday in the case of the suit brought againss the city by Thomas W. Pitman, in which he sues for tees as commissioner in a street opening. The dejence is that & portion of the fees claimed is payable to George H. Purser, against whom the city has # counter claim for overpayments in other street opening cases, On the other side, it was contended that the taxation of these ciatms by the releree was final, ana motion was made to Strike out the city’s answer as irivolous, Judge Donohue ut once granted the mo+ion.

There was an unusually large attendance in this Court yesterday, the attractive feature of the day being a trial in which Jacob Cohen, the late stand- ard bearer of “der beeble’s bardy” was defendant, | J, Peck, to compel payment of $1,800 alleged to be due as interest on a mortgage assigned by Mr. Cohen tothe executors of the Peck estate.

Before Judge Robinson, An important public question was under discus- ston yesterday in this court, involving the finality of an audit of a claim by the Board of Supervisors and their power to reconsider an audit once made. Petrick H, Stewart sued the city for nis own services and six others m serving tax notices in 1870, The Board of Supervisors, on the 6th of March last, in obedience toa writ of peremptory Mandamus, audited the claims at the sum of $237 each. Counsel for piaintif claimed judgment on the andit of the Supervisors as final, In the de- fence tt was contended that the Board iad labored under a misapprenengion of their duties in audit- ing the claim, and had, ata subsequent meeting, examined yesterday, before Commissioner Ken- Neth G. White, on a charge of having murdered or of being concerned in the murder of Guiseppe | Avigiiano, near Naples, in the kingdom of Italy. | {tis alleged that Avighano was captured by a | band of brigands, of whom it is charged the pris. | oner was one, in 1867, taken off to she woods, and | there murdered and buried because a Jarge ran- | 60m demanded from his sather for his release was | not Immediately torthcoming, Mr. F. 0. Bowen, counsel for di Giacomo, took the point tnat inas- much as the extradition treaty between the United States and the kingdom of Italy had not been entered into until 386%, the year iul- lowing the alleged crime, there was no authority whatever under which the accused could be surrendered to Italy. Mr, Coudert, counsel for the Italian government, contended that the treaty did apply to this case, and that, even if it did not, the prisoner Would sti be lable to ve extradited under the treaty which has previously existed be- tween the United States and the government of the Two Sicilies. Commissioner White held that the treaty with Italy applies to the case of the prisoner, Who was then remanded to the custody of the Marsnal, In order to bring the matter te & | speedy issue, Mr. Bowen has obtained a writ ot habeas corpus in the United States Circuit Court | from Judge Blateniord, the writ being returnabie ‘The point raised is a novel one— one, we believe, that has not arisen besore in our courts In connection with extradition treaties, BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS, neotenic SUPREME OOURT—CHAMBERS, Discordant Music Dealers.

Jona Fox.—This is an old | action for assault and battery, originally brougnt | in the Supreme Court, but transferred to the Ma- | Tine Court. ‘The facts revive the Young Democracy feud, and to some extent politics creep into the trial, put the Judge endeavors to exciude it, Brannigan alleges that a few nights aiter the election in 1870 Fox and some triends were in vahil’s loon, =m Park row, when Bran- nian his irtends entered. Fox in- vited some of them to drink wine, sfter which a controversy arose in which hard words passed between Brannizan and Fox. Brannigan alleges that Fox, without provocation, beat and braised him, fuficting lasting tjuries, for which $20,000 damages are claimed.

Elizabeih Haintze, the sister of the complaining witness, ocenpied the witness box most of tne day, and testified that she, too, was induced to go to the house of the prisoners in [wenty-lourth street and ylelded to men under the threats of Fisher and his Wife that, unless she did so,they would stab her with a dagger, Mr. Howe subjected this witness to a lengthy and searching cross-examination, ‘The case Will be resumed to-day. FIFTY-SEVENTH STREET POLIOB COURT. Removing Dead Bodtes. Before Judge Murray. Thomas Masterman, a truckman, was arraigned by OMicer Creden, of the Eighteenth precinct, who arrested him at alate nour on Monday night while carting eight dead podies to the dissecting room of the Homeopathic College, corner of Twenty- third street and Third avenue, woich is on the top Noor of No, 307 Third avenue. ‘The driver could show no certificates to warrant him im taking such liberties with the dead ofour city; hence bis arrest. it was at the instance of Edward Duffy. the lessee of the building, on the top floor—which 1s ihe dissecung room—that the arrest was made. Tne trustees of the college have a lease of the room, but Duffy is not satisfied with his contract, not wishing to nave the remains of the deud hacked up in his butiding, and he caused this ar- Test with a view of causing the lease to be can- celled.

SUPREME OOURT—OIROUIT. The Price Matrimonial Mystifications— Romance of a Wealthy and Much Wedded Man. Before Judge Barnard. Yesterday a very interesting case was com. menced by a wife against her husband, to recover damages in the sum of $100,000, for injury which she alleges she has received through his heartiess deception and ill treatment, suit are Constance B. Price, the plaintiff, and Waiter W. Price, the defendant, {it appears that the gentleman named 18 a native of England, came to the United States about thirty-eight Yeurs ago, Not possessed of much of the goods of this world, but fuil of business tact and energy, and to-day he is reputed to be worth upward of half a million dollars. Suortiy belore teaving his native land he was married to a lady named Susanna Butler, but owing to incompatibility ef temperament they separated, A jew landing he wrote to his Wile and suggested that their separation should -be eternal, and she con- seuting to the agreement & compact was signed to that effect In June, 1843. Inthe following Octo- ber he married a Brooklyn lady, a Miss Barton, | represepting hiimseit to her as a single man wita “heart and sancy ree.” This latter union lasted ‘uncii 1860 and bore as fruit five children, He then abandoned her, and on the 15th o1 October, 1863, he commenced proceedings vetore Justice George G, Barnard to bave the pretended marriage set aside on the plea that his first wife was still alive and dwelling in England. A witness was pro- duced whoswore that four weeks previous he nad seen Mrs. Price No. 1 in London, in March, 1864, the Court adjudged the | second marriage contract to be nuli and vold, and both Price and his second: afinity were given, by a clause that was inserted in the decree, the right to marry again. He then wooed the plantilf im the present suit, She questioned nim particu- larly conceruing his former relationship in the Court of Hymen, and he told her that his first wie was LO more, she having died some time pre- viously, As to his second wiie, he had procured & divorce from her on account of her unfaithiuiness to her vows. She was reconciled as to the douots of the propriety of uniting her fortunes with the weaithy suitor, who is now Sixty years Oo! age, upon his representations, and tiey were married in duly, 1865. Three cnildren were born to them. He grew weary of No. 3, however, and abandoned wiie and offspring tn 1871, tle then 1 uted action to have the decree of Justice Barnard, declaring the martiage with the Brooklyn iady youd, set aside, us tie festimony of Slade, the witness who testified that ue had seen wile No. 1 alive in Eugiand was false, and therelore there was no basis forthe decree of we Courtin that suit. He discovered, bowever, subsequently that Susanda Was alive; so he had the decree de- claring the marriage void reaiivmed, and com. menced action to lave the third marriage an- nuiled on the plea that No. 1 was still living. Judge Loudon, of Lake George, where the de- Jendant lives in great style, granted a decree, aiter & protracted legal Contest, annuiling the marriage. ‘Tis decree, however, vindicutes hor character and establishes the legitimacy of the three children. It was held that the marriage was not void av initio, but only voidabie. The Su- Ths et General Term, affirmed the decree, divorce trom Susanna, wile No. 1. A demurrer has been taken to the complaint of Mrs. Con- stance Price, and argument thereon was beard belore Judge Barnard yesterday. It is claimed that the complaint contains sliegations of both | coutract and fraud, which constitute separate causes of action, John I. Hit for plaintiff and Judge Brown and William H. Beach tor deiendant. Judge Barnard took the papers and reserved his decision, CITY. COURT, The Danger of Calling a Man a Thief. Betore Judge Reynolds. On the 13th of Apri! James Loughlin was called a “thiel”” by Patrick Dunn, in the presence of several Persons, and the injury to character which he sus- tained by this defamatory term could only be healed by an appeal to Court for $5,00u. He accord- ingly instituted suit, claiming that amount in Unis Court yesterday, The deience wus # general denial Dunn testifed tuat he was landiord of the premises: occupied by simply told him that Ww he had been guiity of cer- tain acts he was no better than a thie!, and also that the plaintiff used the opprobrious epithet first, The Jury rendered a verdict for the defendant, BROOKLYN COURT OALENDARS—THIS DAY, iTy CourT—Before Judge Reynolds. ‘03, 128, 07, 152, 127, 225, 207, 135, 1, 20, 98, LW, 145, 120; 7, 167, 101, 10, a , a » 1d 185, 20d 203, 204, 206, 206, 20%, 208, ab00” Ye MT v4 The parties to the | years after | {8 now about to commence suit for | plaint:f, and he had | COURT OF APPEALS.
