NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1875.-TRIPLE. SHEET, THE COURTS. Was the Little Emma Silver Mine Ever Salted? SUITS AGAINST THE CITY, The Salary of the Commis- sioner of Jurors. A RAISED DRAFT. Twenty Years’ Imprisonment for Highway Robbery. Paul Rames, charged with opening letters and emoezziing the contents, whose examination was set down belore United States Commissioner Shields, waived an examination, and yesterday gave bail tu $1,000 to await the action of the Grand Jury. Ex-Sherif Brennan when in office arrested Lagrave on two orders of arrest issued in the cases of Adrience & Co. and Bacharach & Co, These orders were subsequently set asidejby the General Term oi the Supreme Court, on the ground that Lagrave was fraudulentiy extradited, and could not therefore be arrested. The Court of Ap- peais, nowever, finally reversed the decision of the General Term, and decided that Lagrave could be arrested. In the meantime Lagrave, to procure | his release, had put in bail, but they failed to Justify. Yesterday the Jate Sherif was served with a summons and complaint by Mr. D. M. Porter, the attorney for the firms of Adricnce & Co. and Bacharach & Co,, to recover the amount of their claims, because he released Lagrave upon an undertaking, the bail im which falled to justify. THE LITTLE EMMA SILVER MINE. Silas Williams brought suit against Edwin L, Godkin apd others to recover damages for an alleged libel on himself through tne pubil- cation of an article on the Little Ema Silver Mine. In the course of the article it was stated that, aS part of the scheme, Willlams was em- Ployea to prepare the mine; that there was 8 great reduction in the number of workmen, and that at the entrance to the mine was stationed an armed guard, while Williams busied himself en- grefving silver ore on the limestone rocks 10 give it the appearance of genuine silver. In tue artis cle it was aiso stated that Provessor Silliman’s | report was secured in iavor Of the mine. Ademur- rer Was interposed to the complaint alleging tat the article comiaimed pothing libellous, The case was carried to the Genera! Term of the Court of Common Peas, where a decision was given yester- day, Uniet Justice Daly writing the opinion of the Court. In the course of his opinion he recites the facts that have been so irequently published about the mine. “Jt 1s im substance,” he says, ‘an ac- count of a fraudulent scheme by which a silver mine was sold in England ior over £500,000 sterling, | more tuan ten times its actual value, whicn was accomplisne. by having it prepared by the plain- tid, in the Manuer above stated, by setting torth aiter it Was so prepared, a report of a proiessor of a@ college respecting it and by furnishing the American Minister in London with money to be- come a bona Jide investor and placing him at tne | head of the company in England to give it reputa- tioo. The piaintuf is represented as one of the most efficient agents in the consummation of the scheme. He 1s described as preparing the mine by plastering and engraiting silver ore on the | Umestone rock, while armed men guarded the en- | an Known to one of | trance, and a8 being the bes tke chief actors in the scheme to prepare a miae im this way. What he did is reierred \o ag equal in importance to the putting of the American Min- ister at the head of tae company, and he 18 further characterized 48 bein: as expert in prepuring, plastering and engraiting as the Englist specuia- tor, With Whom Park settled, was in ‘Tiggiug ihe market.’ In my judgment such a statement is in- jurioas to the reputation of the platntid, ana, as- suming it to be untrue, the necessary effect o1 it 1s Gelamatory.” Alter citing several cases bearing On the point the order of the Speciai Term us sus- tained, overruling deiendants’ dewurrer, SUITS AGAINST THE CITY. In 1870 the Legislature by enactment fixed tne salary of the Commissioner of Jurors to be the game as that of the City Judge, the salary of the latter at that time being $10,000 a year. subse. quently the salary of tae City Judge was raised to $15,000, and Mr. Douglas Taylor, the Commissioner of Jurors, clamed under the act referred to that he was entitled to a proportionate increase in his pay. Comptroller Green, however, thought differ- ently, and the resuit was a suit by Mr. Taylor against the city for arrears of salary at the rate of $15,000 year. Tne suit was brought in the Court pf Common Pleas. The defence put in by the city was that Mr. Taylor was only entitied to the salary paid to the City Judge at tne time of the passage of the act. A demurrer was interposed to this answer, which raised the question whether the subsequent increase of tne sulary of | the City Judge entitled Mr. Taylor to an equal increase of ois saiary, The Court, on the trial, heid that be Was not entitied to such increase. The appeai was taken from this judgment to the General Term of tue Common Pleas, which Court | rend red yesterday {ts decision in the case ofirm- | ing tue judgment of the Court below, Juage J. B. writing the opinion of the court, He holds that tne Commussiouer’s salary was not intended by tue Legislature to be dependent on that of the Uity Judge. It it were so there should ve some resembiance between the duties of the two offices, To make it so the enactment sbould have prov.ded for the payment ot tae Commissioner at ine same rate as tue salary paid irom time to ume to the bity Judge. Israel Randolph obtained from the city the con- tract jor constructiug a sewer in lugth streer, ve- | tween First and Fourth avenues. He had trouvie about getting Nis pay, and the consequence was a suit against ihe city to recover # balance claimed tobe wus num Various counter claims were set up, the jurmistung of sewer pipe, claims of differ- ent parties for materiais furnished him and money paid a8 inspectors’ lees, The case was sent io a feeree, Who allowed the first cuunter ciaim but hot the others. AD appeai was taken from tna report and the case carried to the General Term of the court of Common Pleas. In the decision given yesterday the Uourt, Judge Joseph Daly writing the opiuion poids that the last counter claim shoud also have been allowed, masmuch as the worn had not been completed within the time specified in tne con- tract. On account of the failure to admit tos coun ter Claim a new trial is ordered, bpbraim D. Brown, a8 assignee of a lease to the city of @ building formerly occupied by the Police Commissioners, sued the city to recover $5,250 claimed due jor reut of the same. Torough pro- ceedings taken velore Judue Kane ina district Court tne Poitce Commissioners were dispossessed by desault. A (rial in the Common Pleas grew out of the affair, 1a Which it was held thatthe decision ip (he District Court was conclasive noth as to de- jendanl’s tenancy and tie amount of rent due, tor the non-payment o1 which were instituted the Droceedings to dispossess, An appeal was taken to the General Yerm, which Court, Judge Robinson delivering the opinion, sustains the judgment of the Court below. [\ was also held that such pro- ceeding 18 not included among those in waich che act of 1860 gives exclusive jurisuiction to the State courts, Mr. Hitchman was one of the Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment appointed by tne Su- preme Court im toe opeaing of Lexington avenue, in the upper part of toe island. The Commission- ers periormed the duties oj their office, made their report, and Upon the coming ia of their report, along With the costs incurred by taem, as pre: serived by the statute, the Supreme Court made ap Order appointing a referee to take evidence as 10 What cosi* should be allowed. Upon tue fei- eree’s report a Juage o1 the Supreme Court taxed the costs at $25,357, which amount went into tae assessment roll avd was received into the city treasury, where Mr. Green held it with a p of iron, refusing to pay the just claim of the mmmMissioners, thereby compelling uit and dling the city with the cost of jitigation. ‘The oration Conse! made no substantial delence, Juage Larremore ordered a verdict for piain- _ Hi lor $27,061 04. Case came to trial yesterday, belore Judwe Larremore, Loewe ag Trial ‘Term, Parti, of tbe Court of Common Pleas. No sub- stantial delence was made by the Corporation Counsel, and Judge Larremore ordered a verdict for $27,061 04, being the .ull amount claimed, with interest. A RAISED DRAFT. A sight draft, drawn on the Continental National Bank of this city for $27, by Wright's Exchange Bank of Buffalo, the correspondent of plaintim, in the case of White and others against (he former | bank, alter being raised to $2,760, came to a Mr. | Horton, of Baltimore, who sent 1: to Baldwin & Gia not discover the raised draft till October 5, when the fact waa made known to tue plaintiffs. The defendant meantime had credited baldwin & Co., who had remitted the money to their cor- respooceut, Horton, and the money could not he reclaimed, Suit was brought to reeover the amount in excess of the original draft, The case was carried to the General Term of the Common Pieas, where @ decision as just been given, Juage Larrewore writing the opinion of the Court, hold- ing that under certain circumstances the acceptor of @ raised drait is ri nsible for ite face. Judge Larremore decides tat this case is different from the cases in which is involved the certification of bank checks, His decision is sententiously em- bodied in the foliowing extract trom bis opinion : “Where one by nis act or omis-ion induces another to part with his proverty beyond the power of reclamation he 1s estopped irom show- ing as between such an one iid uimseif that such action on Dis part was tie result o! ignorance or of iraud practised upon hin, Oi the two innocent arties he is the One who must bear the lose.’’ je therefore affirms the judgment in javor of defendant, LIABILITIES OF COMMON CARRIERS. Thirteen bales of cotton, ked “F. B.,” in a diamond, were shipped at Cairo, Ill, addressed “Byron Sherman, No. 41 Warren street, New York.” The way bills were changed on the way to read, “Ryan Sherman, New York.” After the arrival of the goods in this city a letter was sens to Mr. Ryan Sherman from the office of the Hud- son River Railroad Company, which, of course, failed to reach the party intended, and ten days aiterward the cotton was stored in @ warehouses Mr. sherman, who had beard of the shipment, went with his shipping receipt and demanded his property, bu nothing of it.

While signing the slip which was to commit the prisoner for ten days to the City Prison the Judge asked Herbert, the prisoner, what he had to say. Herbert said notoing, and the Judge, scrotinizing his features, became convinced that the man was not intoxicated. He questioned the oMicer, who said he had found the man in the street helplessly drunk. On examining the man’s person it was found that he had an ugly cut in | tne back of bis head, and when questioned as to | bow it happened, he said, “they clubbed me deal.’ | Phe Judge ordered the oficer to bring the man to the hospital as quick as he could get him there, | and then return to Court. Herbert yas leit | at the hospital, and when the officer returned the Judge instructed him to quietly find out ail he could regarding the man and b-ing any persons to Court who seemed to know anything about nim. Alter several arrests had been made and all the | parties discharged, Bryan Lawrence, a butcher, | ‘was brought before the Judge, and, the evidence | seeming tu warrant it, he was held in $5,000 bail to answer. His brother became surety in that sum and Lawrence was freed, the papers in the case | being pixeonholed until such time as Herbert would be able to appear in person. Yesterday aiternoom Just as Judge Smith was about to close Court, a weak, sickly looking man entered and re- quested to speak to the Jucge. He stated that he ry been arrested a long time since and sent to the hospital jor being drunk, but that ; it was all @ mistake. He was now pre- | Pared to tell how it ail happened, He | said be could not hear & word, so the Judge haa to | write all bis questions ana suomit them. One day, a long time since, he did not kuow how loug, he | went to see two girls, with whom he became ac- quainied, at their house in Thirty-fourth ssreet, between First and Second avenues. Alter spend- ' ingsome time in their company, one of them asked tim to take her out and treat her to oysters, Me complied, apd on the way to Third avenue, | where the oysters were to be purchased. the girl | meta man to whom she tnsisted on introducing him. He could not recollect tue name of the man, | although he accompanied him to the oyster house. Having had their oysters the party leit the saloon aod went as ‘ar as the corner of ‘WMirty-tourth street, where he parted com- , pany with tne He then waike as jar up as the Grand Union Hotel, corner of Forty-second street ana Fourtu avenue, to see & iriend who was 60- journing there. Having lett the irtend he went to @ beer saloon to get a drink, and on leaving the place he noticed the strange man to whom ne had been introduced standing on the corner watcning bis Movements. He did not speak to the man nor recognize him, but continued down the avenue until he went into auotner beer saluon, some- where in the neigbboravod of twenty-fifth or Twenty-sixth etrect. A MODEL POLICEMAN, As he was leaving ine saioon an oMcer met him and asked pim if be bad any money with him. He said he Dad about $500, and the officer told him ne bad better leave 1t with the barkeeper, 1! he Knew Lim, as soe men around the corner were putting up ajob to rob him. He did not know tue bar- keeper of the place, 50 he took his money with him and continued on his journey. Atter he had waiked sone iittle time he noticed that he | was followed by the strange man bejure spoken of. He turned to ask bim what he wanted, when the stranger struck him with some hard auostance ou the back o1 the head. After the frat blow was struck another map Came Up, and then the stran- ger struck him again. The second blow deprived him ol consciousness. He remembers naving been in court after he was struck. He could hear the Judge and « ficials speak, but did not understand What they said. When Hervert had foished his wonderiul story the Judge astonisned him by stating that ne had arrested the mysterious stranger, and that he had not been committed for intoxication, out only sent to the hospitai ip order that he mighe be treated jor his injuries, ‘This poor man, wWoose lie nad almost been battered out on a public highway, tor which policemen are paid to patroi, had passed the sergeant at the desk at the station nouse and the officer who wad arrestea him. The whole affair, coupied with (he fact that an officer told him some men were “putting up @ job to rob him," looks vesy handsome for the police, and Judge Smith is to be congratulated on bis success in securing Mr. | Lawrence to justice. | PRIZE FIGHTERS IN COURT, | The young gentlemen who assembied to see Pat Thomas and Tom Adams indulge in ® prize fight were neid in defauit of $100 each.

The paying tellers in the Comptroller’s office re- fused yesterday to pay the Aldermen their salaries for the month of January, because of the written Protest sent to the Comptroller by the two men who ran for Assistant Aldermen last election. The protest states that because the two have begun an action in the Supreme Court to prevent the Aldermen from being reorganized as the Com- mon Council and “the Judge has reserved his de. cision” it Would be injudicious Jor the Comptroller to pay the salaries.; This protest is not attested in any legal way whatever, and consists simply of @ foolsoup page, OM which, in execrable handwrit- ig, the reasons ofthe protestants are written and signed by their names, Mr. Earle pretended not to know anything about the matter, and the Au- ditor said he was only waiting to see the Comp- troller before be paid the salaries. As forthe Comptroller he was not to be seen. A committee of the Aldermen, composed of Messrs. Gilon, Cole and Simonson, called to sée him about the sslaries, and were kept waiting for two hours.
