- THE COUBTS. The Erie Railway Modified Injunction Argument of Counsel. Appointment of a Referee Asked For, THE CARL VOGT CASE. Wharge of Grand Larceny in the General Sessions Dismissed, The Count De Eianca Murder Re- vived—Vogt Rearrested. Magnus Gross and E. J. Shandley, newly elected Aldermen, were yesterday sworn into ofMce by #udge Brady, of the Supreme Court, Governor Dix spent some time yesterday in con- ‘Bultation with the Supreme Court Judges in their private office, The subject matter of the confer- ence did not transpire. For that matter, as many alleged, it may have béen a mere friendly call— “this and nothing more.” Yesterday Gonzalez Sarno, who had been charged before Commissioner Shields with having carried on a@ cigar manufactory in Sixth avenue without giving the usuai bond, was held to await the action of the Grand Jury. The old suit of Marrietta P, Stephens against ‘the city for rent of armory, which has been pend- ang & long time 1n the courts, came to trial yester- day before Judge Donohue, holding Supreme Court, Circuit, Part 2, it was arranged between counsel to have a forma! verdict given for $74,482 54, the amount of the claim, in order to take the case to the General Term, to which Court ‘the case of Fallon, being also a suit for rent of a building used for an armory, has already been re- ferred. THE ERIE RAILWAY INJUNCTION. The application in the suit brought by Jonm ©, Angell against the Erie Railway Company for the / appointment of a receiver to take charge ef cer- ‘tain certificates, bonds and stocks of the company, ‘came up for argument yesterday before Judge ‘Westbrook in Supreme Court, Chambers, on the order to show cause why such recetver should not be appointed. Meantime the matter had become @ little mixed through Judge Westbrook modify. ing the injanction given when the application for uch order was made. The array of counsel on both sides—Messrs. William ©. Barrett, ex-Judge Fullerton and John A. Hill appearing for Mr. An- ell, and Messrs. Macfarland and ex-Judge Ship- man representing the Erie Railway Company— gave promise of one of the, old field days 80 memorable in the early days of the Erie Railway litigation. The argument, however, turnea out to be comparatively prief, as will be geen by the subjoined report, though with a faintly prospective glimmering of possible definite Fesolta in the far future, “May it please Your Honor,” said Mr. Macfar- land, in his usual deeply sonorous tones, when Mr. Barrett quickly rose to his feet, saying “One word firat, if you please?’? The latter then went on to “gay that bis attention had been callea to the af™- ‘Gavits on which the injunction granted in this oase have been modified. This injunction, as His Honor would recollect, was obtained on applica- tion made by himseli and his associate, Mr. Hill. In the aMdavit of Mr. Jewett he found the foliow- ing statement :-— This deponent distinc: alleges and charges from facts ‘within bis al Raowle ire, a8 well ann inior: ‘ation and belief, that this act wus not pole to in good faith; that the said plaintif has no interest whatever in ‘the said Krie Railway Company or the subject matter of action ; that he is a mere agentand instrument of the Bal eculators; that the said injunction was a) for, obtained and served in the manner aforesa(d, not Yor’ the benefit or protection of the Erie Railway Com- but solely to promote the fraudulent objecs and arposes jor which the said action was brought, and to ress the stock of the company for the advantage of hf said speculators and tor the sole purpose of derang- company, and that the junction. “] want to make a statement,” interrupted ‘Judge Westbrook at the conclusion of the read- Ying of the above extract. ‘1 did modify the in- yunction order, and in the modification 1 referred ‘to that tion. Idid not, however, act on that allegation, Dut on others which the aMidavit con- tained. I thought it only just to you and your as- sociates to say that I think you gave me the con-' tents of your papers very fairly.” Mr. Barrett—That may be your opinion. But I here, sir, characterize that statement in the affl- davit a8 aise, 1don’t care by whom made; and, although it may be-sworn upon iniormation and ‘pelief, 1 characterize that information as talse. I stated the facts as fairly a8 1 could and my partner went over them fairly and explicitly. Judge Westbrook—Let me further explain that Idid not act upon the supposition that you ad misled me at all. I acted upon the supposi- that those bonds, having been issued and be- im the hands of bond fide holders, they ought ot to be enjoined irom paving the interest to such ersons. That 1s the ground on which | acted. Mr. Macfarland—I do not stand here to-day nor ‘Dave I pitherto attempted to make any charges against the attorneys who have seen fit to con- duct these proceedings in the manner in which they have. The time may come when | may deem 4t my duty to speak, and when {do then the gen- tleman way, if he wishes, spell out Irom my mean- ing any inuendoes he wishes, 1am not here either to make charges or disclaim any interpre- ‘tation the gentleman may see fit to put upon the aMidavits. 1 boid in my hand, sir, @ mass ol illegi- ble press copy. lt wus a document served apon William Butler Duncan, between half- past six and seven o'clock, on Monday evening. It is the only document that has been served in this proceeding upon either the Erie Railway Vompany, at its office, or upon any otner persons connected with it.

For instance, we allege five or six distinct Occasions and means by which we say the Erie Railway Oompany violated its fundamental law wl isguing @ mortgage of $30,000,000 by the crea- lon of convertible bonds contrary to law, which they afterwards covered by the $30,000,000 mort- by the purchase of certain stock in the Bul- iaio, New York and Erie Railway Company; by the purchase of $1,000,000 worth of coi lands {0 the te of Pennsylvania and by the declaration Of certain dividends, Now, sir, the answer in this cause distinctiy admits the purchase of the coal lands and justifies it, so that there is very litte need of a reference upon that. The answer admits the purchase of buffalo, New York and Erie stook, and justifies that and detends it, lone under the advice of counsel; the mits the declaration of dividends upon ice of counsel, and the only question which c@n arise upon that issue is whether the dividends were justified by the financial condition of the company. Then, with reierence to the $30,000,000 mortgage and the propriety of issuing that, we allege that the articles of association prohibited the Erte Com; from making any mortgage ex- cept where a no had been given in the public prints of the city of New York for ten weeks pre- ceding the aouual election. Now we shat gu any pieeeace: of the publication of any such notices, the contrary, the answer, while containing & denial which is Rerhane broad enough by tmplication to cover that question, asserts this:— That the Erie Railway peers was not restricted as suggested tn the Aye which allegation | understand to relate to the charge in the complaint that they were restricted m the Matter of making the mortgage aforesaid, So their allegation in the answer is tn avoidance of the charge and does not consist of the dental of ‘the facts upon which it is predicated, I mention shoge things for the purpose of showing that il we fo toareieree now in this stage of the proceed- Dgs we shall be without knuwledge of the issues before the referee and we ought at least to know whioh of the facts are to be denied, and they ought to be denied on oath so as to provide those issues and bring them down to as Darrow &@ com- pass as possible. Mr, Macfarland—The question 1s not what snall be done for or agatnst the Erie Railway Company or its various olficers upon the trial of this case upon its merits, whether their acts are not rigut; that may be aligo or not; but it would by no means follow that this plaintiff was entitled to an injunction or receiver. 1 did not suppose this Suggestion of the reierence would be agreeable to my antagonists, but itis certainly an exceedingly roper and most necessary thing in order to in- form Your Honor, sitting here and governed tn a great measure by no strict rule, but by that sound jscretion which ig in @ very large measure the authority and jurisdiction of every magistrate, of the facts in the case. LET THE CASE GO BEFORE A REFEREE anal will undertake to make tssues enough for learned friends, x-Judge Fuilerton—The question ts not what the counsel will do, bus what limite shalibe put upon this investization tf reference shall be had. had not opposed a reference. All we now ask js that there be some limitation put upon the sub- taken, it is very evident the reference will occupy time enough if the parties are restricted to those mat- ters legitimately brought into question in this controversy. The gentleman only wants a refer- ence that he may produce evidence upon the other side tn lieu of aMdavits. sane Westbrouk suggested that probably a man would be appointed as referee who would not per- mit anything wrong. It was fi conciuded to adjourn the matter until three o'clock P. M. to- day, when Mr. Macfarland will submit an order for the Judge's decision, and a referee will oe ap- pointed in oase the order is granted. CARL VOGT’S CASE. ‘The case of Carl Vogt is one that has not slipped out of the recollection of the public. About two | years ago he was arrested in this city on a charge of having murdered and robbed the Count de Bois de Bianca in the city of Brussels, Belgium. It was further alleged that, after the robbery and mar- derin question, Vogt set fireto the apartment in which the murdered man lay, so that ali evidence of the crime might be destroyed. Vogt is a Prussian subject, and though there was at the time of his arrest no treaty of extra- dition between the United States and Belgium, where the imputed offence was committed, Prus- | sia made a demand upon this country tor the sur- render of Vogt, claiming that it had a right to bring back and try in its own territory any of its citizens who had been guilty of @ crime in any part of tne world. In the proceedings that subse- quently took place it turnéd out that the govern- | ment of the United States was not willing to con- | cede this extraordinary pretension as put forward by Prussia, Vogt was examined at considerable length before Commissioner Kenneth G. White, who held that @ case had been made out for the | surrender o/ Vogt to the Prussian authorities, Counsel for Vogt took the matter on babeas cor- pus beiore Judge Blatchford, who, ina long and elaborate opinion, which gave a comp'ete history | of extradition laws aud treaties, sustained the action of the Commissioner, and Vogt was ac- cordingly remanded to the custody of the Marshal to await the President’s mandate o! extradition. Bat this mandate never was issued, for the reason that counsel for Vogt brought the case ander the | notice of the State Department, Soon after this an opinion by the Attorney General, Mr. Williams, | was published. ‘This opinion was regarded as an important and | remarkable one, inasmuch as it set astde the action of the courts and declared that, the circumstances, it would not pe right to sur- render Vogt to the Prussian government. ‘The State Department acted on the opinion of the At- torney General and Vogt never was surrendered, He was then at liberty, but he did not enjoy his freedom long, for he was immediately alter- ward arrested in a civil suit for the recovery of certain bonds alleged to have belonged to the Count de Bois de Bianca. On this charge he has lain in jail for several months until yesterday, when he was discharged on his own recognizance, q Just as soon as he was liberated he was again arrested, and brought before Commissioner White to answer the old charge of having killed and robbed the Count de Bois de Bianca, lor it appears that @ treaty has been entered into between the United States and Belgium for the surrender of criminal fugitives, the treaty being retroactive as regards the crimes of murder and arson. In fact it would seem as if the treaty were specially designed to cover Vogt’s case, and, if possible, bring him within its operation. In every respect this ts an extraordinary and remarkable case. The examination of the accused has been ad- journed te the 14th inst. Mr. William F. Kintzing ag been retained as counse! to defend the prisoner, ind the case on benalf of the Belgian government will be conducted by Mr. F. Coudert. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS.

The case will be concluded this morning. Larcenies and Burglartes. Joseph Irving, who was charged with stealing a pocketbook containing $6 from the person of Margaret Stampa, while riding in a Third avenue railroad car on the 16th of last month, pleaded guilty. A similar plea was taken from James Conway, the indictment charging that on the 20th of No- vember he stole $25 !rom Josnua Van Wagoner in ®@ barroom atthe corner of Sullivan and Grand Streets; and another from Charles Gallagher and ‘William Maton, who, on the 25tn of November, stole $200 worth of liquor owned by Adams & Bollister. These prisoners were each sent tothe State Prison for two years and six mouths, John Donahue, who was indicted for burglart- ousiy entering the store of Harry K.

Indicted for stealing a barrel of John Mcvarth. candy, valued at $30, on the 2ist of November, the propery of Greenfield & Strauss, pieaded guilty 0 petit larceny, He was sent to the Penitentiary for six months, COUBT OF ARBITRATION. The General Insurance Company of Dresden in Court. H. Becker & Co, vs. The General Insurance Com- pany of Dresden.—Judge Fancher has delivered his Opinion in this case, reviewing the former decision. He -—"The rehearing of this case was prop- erly granted for a misapprehension as to some of the facts that occurred at the first trial. In the statement of facta as written down at the time by the arbitrator were the following seutences:—‘The Herder, in distress, put into the port of Glasgow, with her cargo more or less damaged. A portion of the barley, being part of her cargo, was then reshipped in the steamers Evhiopia and Victoria, bound for New York, to the extent of 2,189 bags, yielding 410,396 pounds, and this portion was re- ceived by the owners in New York. The residue of the barley was sold in Glasgow, justifiably on account of damage—t. e., 504 bags, containing 102,709 pounds, yielding in money there $2,097 93, and subject to general average charges of $546 83, leaving a net credtt of $1,551 60. The insured value of this portion soid in Glasgow was $3,430 43, The arbitrator supposed, trom such agreed statement, that the $546 33 was the appor- tionment on those proceeds of the expenses of sale occasioned by the perils insured against and was a lien on such proceeds, Bat it now appears from @ further examination of the adjustor’s statement and the papers submitted on the rehearing that vhe supposition of the arbitrator was incorrect. It is now shown that all the charges arising from the sea damage to the 504 bags of barley and pertain- ing Lo the sale thereof were deducted in Glasgow from the blige proceeds of sale, leaving the net amount of $2,007 93. It ts apparent, therefore, that the former opinion was based on an erroneous understanding of facts, There has aiso been sub- mitted in the rehearing & statement of the ttems of the general average charges made up by the general average adjustor tn New York, showing that the aggregate of such general average charges is the sum of $25,407 18, of which the $546 33 are part, and the proportion assessed in general average as the contributive share of the insured bariey. These items appear to be roperly brought in penerst average. It was ob- fected by the Counsel for the owners that some of the items were special charges on the cargo and not properly general average charges, such as the charge of Mr. Wendt for services and travelling | expenses, and the charge for extra freight be- tween Glasgow and New York on the cargo for- warded. AS to the charge of Mr. Wendt, it ap- Dears heis the agent in London of Continental underwriters, and he rendered service and ave advice in relation to the disaster to the erder, which the captain accepted. As they were forthe general benefit think his charge ‘was properly apportioned among the different in- terests. The charge for extra freignt from Glas- gow to New York appears by the practice in such case to be properly embraced in general average contribution. it is conceded that general aver- age contribution cannot be added for particular average to make up the amount of damage to the excepted per cent.’ ” Alter a full review of the case, with all the facta beiore him, Judge Fancher sums up:—Woatever may be the proper rule of calculating a partial Joss, in this case, under a valued policy, it seems that the damage to the shipment of barley by the partial lo#s on the 604 bags sold in Glasgow 18 less than the ten per cent excepted in the policy. The proceeds to be received by the owners reduce the loss below the average, The result is that the de- fendants are liable for the general average charge of $546 33, but are not liable for the particular average or parttal loss sustained by the plaintiffs, An award will be made accordingly, and the former decision in this cause is reversed. TOMBS POLIOE COURT. Highway Robbery. Before Justice Kasmire. On Wednesday evening John O’Keefe, of No. 84 Mulberry street, was on his way home when two ruffians caught hold o: him at the corner of Uanal and Mott streets, and demanded his money. He ve @ refused to ‘ork out” a cent, whereupon he was knocked down and robbed of a gold watch. Officer Cunningham, of the Filth precinct, arrested the alleged tnief— Jonn Kelly—and he was yesterday held for trial by Justice Kasmire. JEFFERSON MARKET POLICE OOURT. A Dangerous Man. Before Judge Flammer, Aman named James Reilly, hailing from West Thirty-seventh street, was arraigned at the above Court on two separate charges of felonious assault and battery, and held in $1,000 bail to answer on each. Reilly, '¢ ts alleged, on the 11th of July, 1871, while in @ state of drunkenness, murder- ously assaulted Mr, Francis Denny, of No. 55 West Forty-fourth street, cutting bim in the side with large butcher’s knife and aoe such serious wounds as caused Mr. Denny to keep his bed for over two monthi After this occurrence Reilly left the GEOG did not return for two Ge On tne of August, 1874, the same illy, in she same furious state of wild drunken- neas, became engaged in a arrel with Mr. James Kilgellon, ot No. 609 West Forty-fourth street, and followed him for a biock with a steel. Mr. Kilgellon defended himself and escaped from the madman without any sertous injury. Aiter this second exploit Reilly took a trip to Europe, and did not return tilia snort time ago. He was arrested on Tuesday, by Officer Walsh, of the Twentieth precinct, and both his victims appeared in Jefferson Market Police Court to prosecute him yesterday afternoon. COURT OALENDARS—THIS DAY.
