Thompson some time ago brought a suit for divorce against her husband, Lucius Thompson, the facta of which were fully published atthe time. Recently a motion was made in Supreme Court Chambers, before Judge Donohue, for altmony and counsel fee pending the suit, The basis of the suit is alleged cruel and in- human treatment by the husband. This the latter denied, witha counter charge of exhibitions of unrestrained temper on the part of his wife. Judge Donouue gave his decision in the case yes- terday, denying the motion. The grounds of his decision are set jortn in the following opinion, Which, aside trom tne legal points involved, fur- Bisbes suggestive reading for married people on the ‘ragged edge” of matrimonial disruption on account o! domestic disagreements :— it 18 not only a misiortune to the parties, but painiul to the Court to be culled on to consider tne 8vidences ol temper shown in this case on both Sides, und it seems to me, after a caretul reading OJ the papers, that wholesome forbearance and & little knowledge of each would, with little dim- oulty, avoid ail appeals to the Court.

THE JAMES STREET MURDER. The trial of James Reilly on an indictment for Murder in the first degree for killing Nicholas Schumaker, on the 5th of December last. at the dance house, No, 95 James street, was concluded yesterday in the Court of Uyer and Terminer, Judge Barrett being on the bench, and the court Foom, as on the two previous days of the trial, being crowded. The prisoner, whose chances looked so desperate at first, and with scarcely a shadow of hope o! escape from the gallows, bad a muuch more cheer!ul lvok, Ali thac remained was the summing up by counsel and the Judge’s charge and then bis fate would soon be known. Mr. William F. Kintzing, the prisoner's counsel, Occupied nearly two hours in bis address to the jury. He spoke with great ieeling and earnest- Bess. After giving & careful analysis of the testi- mony and contrasting the straightforward story Of the accused with that told by the witnesses for ‘the prosecution, he urged that in order to convict of murder in tne firat degree the jury must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the pris- Oner toox tne life of tne deceased with a detiberate and premeditated design to effect death; that to Justify a conviction of murder in the first degree the law requires something more than that the act should be intentional, that it must have been the result of deliberation and premeaitation; that it there be a doubt upon the question of intent as to whether the prisoner designed taking the lite of the deceased, such doubt must be given in vor of the prisoner; that to convict of murder in the second degree the must be satisfied that at the time of the iliing the prisoner had an intent to kill; that though the law recognizes the jormation of the Gesign to Kill at toe instant of the prisoner’s act Q8 sufiicient to constitute murdeF in the second deg! there must have been, however, sufficient de! tion On the part of t prisoner to have formed the design; that the in such a case requires deliberate design, thougn it may not have been contemplated or broodea upon tor months; that the mere act that a deadly weapon | ‘Was ui does not warrant the jury tn concluding that an intent to kill existed, in the absence of otner circumstances; that 11 the jury believe that the prisoner staboea the deceased with an intent to do pim bodily harm—some injury short of death—tney cannot convict him of either murder am the first or secoud degree; that nothing will Salisiy the law to warrant a conviction of murder in the second degree but the existence of a posi- | tive, fixed intent to kill tne deceased at the very time oO! inflicting the injury, and that if the jury fod that the act was neither justifiable nor ex- cusabie but was committed by the prisoner in the heat Of passion and without an intent to kill, th: jury must convict the prisouer of mi igDter in either the third or tourth degree, a cording to the facts. He presented other poin' Of equal torce, and, in conclasion, made a most rring and touching appeal, claiming that upon evidence and all the circumstances of the case Utmost they could do was to oring in a verdict Of manslaughter in the minor degrees, District Attorney Puelps was nearly as long in summing up jor the prosecution. He, ton, re- viewed the testimony, but insisted that a case of oor and deliberate murder had been estavlisued. gone back to the piace alter ne was put out and With his knife in hand standing ready to Wreak vengeance on the deceased. He claimed @ evidence supported the indictment and asked for a verdict of murder in the first degree. A brief out clear and comprehensive charge ‘Was given by Judge Barrett, The case was given to the jury ava quarter to two o'clock, At the end Of an hour ana o quarter they returned bring- img ip @ verdict of mansiaugnter in the frst Gegr In passing seutence Judge Barrett congratulated the prisoner on the ability with Woich be had been defended by counsel assigned t Court, he being poor and iriend- less, and the lightness o1 the verdict found against bim. He hoped this would. be a lesson to him, and that he would come out of prison a wiser and a better man. In view of the lightness of the ver- dict as compared with tue gravity of the crime "tor which he was tried, and looking at the circum- cea and the evidence sv strong against him, felt it nis duty to sentence for the iuil term escribed lor the offence of which he had been roved guilty, He then sentenced nim tu State 0B, At hard labor, tor seven years, THE COMPTROLLER AND A CITY CONTRACT. Michael Noonan obtained from the city @ con- tract for buliding @ sewer in Fourth avenue, be- tween Fiiteenth and Seventeenth streets, He Claims that there has only been paid him on the contract $7,062, and has brought suit agains: the city for $9,644 balance still claimed to be due him. ‘The defence of the city originally was that the con- tract price for the work was $7,044; that he had ‘been paid $7,061 67; that $82 33 was due for inter- it On advances before the completion of the work, a that he owes $500 ior extra inspectors’ fees OD account ofa delay in the work. There being a Mkelinood o: the case reachin ly trial, @ motion was made yesterday before Judge Donohue for ee 6tO)|)6amend =the = an. Swer by setting up a release, which bud been aiscovered in the Comptroller's office. In Opposition to this an alidavit of Mr. Noonan was submitted, setting torto that, when he applied to Comptroller Green for nis tat this wae'al 4 Was all that was due him; that ne cold tne Comptroller that te was greaciy in Want o1 money, apd asked him whetner re iving the amount of money offered would prevent nim claiming the Fest; that Us Green told him it would not, and ‘shat be Oue jor the balance at any time he { payment, the latier | pay him more than $2,274 94, claiming , ehose; that he thereupon signea several papers, supposing them to be triplicate receipts, and that be signed no sealed paper. In answer to this it was claimed for the city that this was a fact to be ony or disproven at the trial, On the other aud it waa claimed that the whole niatter lay in the discretion of the Court. Judge Donohue took the papers and reserved bis decision. ONE OF TWEED’'S MORTGAGES. In October, 1871, William M. Tweed obtained $150,000 from the East Chester Bank of Mount Vernon, in Westenester county, and as security for the money gave & Mortgage on six lots at the corner of Fourth avenue and 129th street. Mr. ‘Thomas J. Mason, claiming to be assignee of the mortgage, has brougnt suit to recover the money. The present owner of the property, Richard M. Tweed, put im an answer that ne'did not have kuowledge or information sufficient to form a be- lief as to whether Mason was assignee of the mort- . A motion was made vesrerday in Supreme Gourt, Chambers, before Judge Lawrence, for Judgment on the answer as irivolous, Judge Bar- Tett denied the motion, on the ground that the granting of judgment in such cases would be in contravention of @ recent decision in the Court of Appeals. * THE CLAIMS FOR CITY DEPOSITS. Following on the heels of the application made on Tuesday for a further bill of particulars in the suit brought by the city against the Broadway Na tional Bank to recover $6,000,000 balance in the bank claimed to belong to the city, through the illegal payment of warrants improperly drawn, countersigned or endorsed, a similar application was made reavarday in the Supreme Court, Cham- bers, before Judge Lawrence, in the suit pending by the city against the Tenth National Bank, In the latter case the baiance sougnt to be recovered is some $250,000. The basis of these suits, as is well known, is the trregularities practised by the old city “King,’? most of the money claimed to have been paid on TMBCE RE Warrants being on accouct of the new County Court House. a lengthy arguwent, the pots raised being pre- cisely the same as On the former motion, At the close Of the argument Judge Lawrence took the papers, reserving his decision.

The parties were tinkers, and the only evidence against Seibel was the pos- sessiou of @ soldering iron which Koehler claimed belonged to him. As the article could not be posi- tively identified, and as Seibel swore that he had owned it for the last five years, the jury rendered &@ verdict of “Not guilty” without leaving their seats, AN ASSAULT.

Yesterda: friend of his named Donevan, who bad become Jolly and sympathetic, called at the Tombs to pay the fine. He was in a funny vein, and when he got to the door he thought he would have a little sport with Officer Wilkison, so he in‘ormed that person that he in- tended to “wallop” the Judge. The officer noticed he was drunk and warned him off the prem- ises, Mr. Donevan became indignant, and insisted upon entering the Court, Ree peated retussis made bim more sisient, until finally the odicer prought him into court in custody. Here he explained that he had no belligerent intentions; his was the peace- Jul mission of ransoming @ eaptive, All he wanted to do was to pay Jack Buckly’s fine, and the Court allowed him to exercise his generosity to tne extent of $6.

There is no doubt tn my mind that the Episcopal Church in this country is drifting as fast as pos- sible into ritualism, There is not an Episcopal church in this city where ritualism predominat (AN RW ER, rrr? 3 temporal matters, and in some churches where Titualism has not gained @ strong ioothoid, The tendency of the rectors 18 ail that way.

The above Board held quite a protracted meet- ing yesterday, their session occupying over six hours. It wasa little after eleven when they were called together, ani, after considering several cases thi a beea under trial, fined jour men five days’ pay and dismissed three. They also transferred seven members of the department from one company to anotner. The worthy clerk was unabie to furnish the names for publication Until they bad first been passed upon by the vom- missioners. ‘rhe reduction of salaries of certain members of the unuoilormed department, ied to quite a pro- tracted debate, when it seemed Impossivie for the Commissioners to agree upon a general reduction and the whole subject was laid over until tae next ineeting. President Perley stated that tne public were watching their actions very closely, aud that they must present some retrenchment in the expenses of the department.

WITH THB COMMISSIONERS What the Various Depart- ments Are Doing. The Outrages Upon Prisoners To Be Stopped. The Board of Health's Grapple with Smallpox— A Revolution in Its Management. Arepresentative of the HERALD yesterday made @ call upon @ number of the city Commisstoners, with the view of ascertaining what is going on in their several jurisdictions, At the DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION all the Commissioners were avseat on duty at the various institutions; but the veteran clerk, Mr. Phillips, their secretary, announced that the Com- missioners had settled the question of messengers’ fees at the various prisons, and nad adopted a schedule of prices that it was believed would cor- rect certain abuses of long standing, The im- portance of this action wil! be appreciated when the statement 1s made that Jor years in all prisons attached to the police courts of the city messen- gers, witu no official autnority, are recog- nized as a part of the institution. These sharks usually manage to swindle prisoners by acting as runners for “shyster” lawyers, who hang about the “halls of justice’ and combine tne business of messenger with that of agent for voractous lawyers, When an unfortunate victim gets into a cell he naturally employs a messenger to communicate with his family and bondsmen, and frequently péys a8 highas $5 toa messenger to travel half a dozen blocks for a lawyer. He re- turns to report that the lawyer cannot be found, | and advises the prisoner, under these circum- stances toemploy Mr. ‘Jones’ or Mr, “Smith,’? who plucks the poor devil who wants counsel out of from $100 to $500, and paya the “messenger. middie-man” @ percentage of twenty or thirty percent, It is to guard against such outrages that the Commissioners have adopted the rules given below. If President sally would learn the character of the outrages perpetrated at the police court prisons, let him Jetail a friend to get locked up, spend a night in one of these prisons, send for a friend, and if he has $100 in his pocket upon his commitment to acell he will likely be relieved of it ali beiore regaining his liberty. The regulations FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF PRISONS are ag follows.

MUNICIPAL NOTES. GREEN’S OBSTRUCTIVENESS—-THE HACK NUI- SANCE—REMOVALS BY THE MAYOR. Comptroller Green’s babit of venting his spite against those oMictals of the city government who are not willing to do his bidding tn all things was never better illustrated tbanin the way he has thus far treated the new Chamberlain, Mr. Tap- pao, Knowing that Mr. Tappan is a personal | friend of the Mayor, and that the Mayor is not willing that the Comptroller shall use nim as a clerk, to go and come at his beck and call, as he succeeded im making tne late Mayor do, he determined to annoy Mr. Wickham from the very moment he heard of Mr. pan’s appointment. The law sureties of the Chamheriain must be approved by the Comptroller. There are twelve names on Mr, Tappan’s bond all well known to the community, and the sureties are $60,000 more than the $2,000,000 required. Mr. Green diily- dalliea about approving these sureties up to yes- terday, on the ground that it required time to “in- vestigate” the dnancial standing of the bonds- men! But, finding that this plea jor the delay was rather @ weak invention, he has fallen back on another, and it was ascertained yesterday that the reason why he does not approve of the sureties 1s that the State Treasurer requires Mr. Tappan to ustify as County Treasurer in another million dol- Jars, The strange feature about the case is that just before Mr. Lane resigned he was notified by the State Treasurer that he would have to justify as County Treasurer fo1 the ensuing year in $600,000. When Mr. Tappan was ap. pointed Mr, Green, {mn conjunction with @ certain party at Albany, had the amount raised to $1,009,000, Mr. Tappan’s bond ior ‘Unis amount Was yesterday approved in Court, As Mr. Green’s poWer o1 approval is confined ex- clusively to the sureties of Mr. Tappan as City Chamberiain, and uot as County ‘Ireasurer, his lea that his delay in approving the City Cham- bervain's bond was caused by the action of the State Treasurer was simply nonserse. Late yes- terday atternoon, to the great surprise of the hew Chamberlain, be was notified vy the Comptroiler that ne required him to have a new bond made out whicn would have the words “will iaituiully execute the duties of the ofMice,” instead of will Jaithiuily‘periorm” &c. When this new bond is made out, if Mr. Greeu cannot delay mutters in any otuer way, no one need be surprised it he de- mands that Mr. fappan shall have still another one made out on the ground that the second one Was deiective because the word “execute” wags not spelled witha capital £.
