8 THE COURTS. A Plea of Guilty and a Sen- tence of Ten Years. CONFISCATION OF BANK STOCK. Mortgage Proceedings in a Theatrical Suit. ANOTHER RAISED CHECK CASE. Voluminous Business in the Court of Sessions. On and after the 1st of March, and until further notice, Supreme Court, Chambers, will be opened at ten o'clock and the calendar called at eleven 4. M. Application was made yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Lawrence, on be- bali of the Society for the Reiormation o/ Juvenile Delinquents, for an injunction against the pro- prietors of the Metropolitan Theatre, restraining them from giving any jurther performances until payment of their license. The application was granted and the usual bond filed. Suit has been commenced in the Supreme Court by Michael Healey and other members of the old Board of Assistant Aldermen witha view to de- termine the question whetoer they have been legally legislated out of office or not. Tne basis of the suit is the alleged unconstitutionality of the act abolishing the Board. George 5, Reppier brought sutt against John T. Baxter and otners for $1,500 damages on account oi injuries to a wharf at the foot of North Eighth street, Brooklyn, D., through collision with a whar! by the bark Louise, while under tow by the | steamtug 5. A. Bancock. Tne case was tried some time since before Judge Barbour of the Superior Court and resuited in disagreement of the jury. A second trial im the same Court, before sudge Curtis, has been in progress several days aud terminated yesterday with the same result as hefore. Pion Bouctcault yesterday took the usual initia- tory proceedings in @ suit to recover damages against Josn Hart, of the Theatre Comique, for the alleged infringement of the latter upon the copyright of the “Shaugaraun.” The suit is in- stituted in the United States Circuit Court; dam- ages are laid at $25,000. Bernard Woods, tne fireman of the steamer Henry Chauncey, charged with the manslaughter of Michael Fanning, a lellow fireman, and whose examination was reported in Tuesday’s HERALD, was yesterday admitted to bail in $2,000 to await trial. In the matter of the contested will of Stephen . Knapp, which has been before Surrogate Hutchings for some time, the testimony was closed yesterday aad the counsel will sum up the case on Wednesday next. As the only property left oy the testator 1s an old claim for some $15,000 against the city, the payment of which is reused, It is not likely the contestants of the will can gain muuch ior their trouble. THE TRIAL OF JOHN O'TOOLE. A sudden and rather unexpected termination was reached yesterday in the trial of Jonn O'Toole, commenced on the day previous in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, belore Judge Barrett. The inaictment against him was murder in the first degree. The evidence was strong against bim, Involving not only a threat against Mrs, Hessler, the uniortunate deceased, but the most flendish !

One is the con- struction of a suspension bridge over the Harlem River at 18lst street, reference to which has al- ready beep made in the HERALD. At their meet- ing on Tuesday evening they tovk the preliminary steps toward pushing the work by ordering plans prepared and estimates made. They bave, in au- ticipation of the early commencement of the work, madé @ requisition upon the Comptroller for $100,000, but the bridge may cost douole that sum. ‘ge o/her undertaking is the improvements on Brooks avenue, Morrisania, the prooabie cost of which they have not yet esiimated, At the imeetimg on ‘Tuesday eveung final action was Weierrod, to enabie the engineer to omit pians and estimates.

Tne Com- missioners have had under consideration the set- ting apart of a bailding on Biackwel!'s Isiand asa homeopathic hospital, but as they find that they cannot dispense with the smallpox hospital, their bomceopataic iriends will be disappointed.
