THE COURTS. Another Scene in the B cault-Hart Play. THE CORPORATION COUNSEL. Cheapness of Human Life in New York. Charles H. Haswell, who made the preliminary survey of East 109th street preparatory to ite being paved, has sued the city for $150 compensa- tion. A demurrer was interposed to the com- Plaint, setting up that there is no appropriation from which to pay the amount claimed. There was an argument on the demurrer yesterday, before Judge Larremore, at Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas, after which the Judge took the papers, reserving his decision. George W. Butt hired some carriages to various members of the Board of Education for the pur- pose of visiting the public schools. Mr. Batt has been compelled to sue the city tor tne amount of his bill, This, also, was demurred to and the case was also argued yesterday, belore Judge Larre- more, with a like result, the Court taking the papers. A case of alleged false imprisonment and slander ‘was tried in the Marine Court yesterday. Silver stein, the defendant in the case, 18 a German shoemaker, residing at No.7 Ludlow street. He was sitting et nis work, while bis vest, containing his watch and chain, lay on the bed. Newman, who brought the suit, entered the room, looking for his umbrella. Silverstein went down stairs at the moment, and when he returned missed his ‘watch. Knowing that Newman had gone toa barber shop he secured the services of a detective and had him arrested and taken toa police sta- tion, where he was searched; but the watch not deing found in bis possession he was released, This was the case as it was related. The jury found for the defendant, as he had reasonable ground for suspicion. The will of Loring Andrews, late a wealthy leather merchant of this city, was yesterday ad- mitted to probate by Surrogate Hutchings. The decedent bequeaths the whole of his property to Ais widow and surviving children. William Stunin was yesterday bela by Mr. Com- missioner Shields in $1,000, on a charge of selling cigars without the legal revenue stamps being at- tached to the boxes containing the same. Christian Lorenzo was yesterday tried and con- victed 4n the United States Ulrcult Court, before Judge Benedict, on a charge of illicit distillation. Bemanded for sentence, ed « THE BOUCICAULT-HART CASE. The defendant in this case, Joshua Hurt, of the ‘Theatre Comique, has entered two demurrers in the law and equity branches of the United States Circuit Court of the Southern district to the ac- tions instituted against him by Mr. Boucicault for alleged iniringement of his copyright to the special ownership as author of the drama of «“Sbhaughraun.? demurrer in the law branch 18 as 1ollows:— Uxrrep States Crncort Covrt—Southern District of New York.—Dion Boucicault ys.

PAY OF THE CORPORATION COUNSEL. ~Qnce apo a time whe Corporation Counsel's office was worth Some $60,000 6 yaat. ‘The Salary” Was subseqently fixed at $3,500 a year, with $6,500 yearly allowances for services in street opening cases. Under tne charter of 1870 the fixing of the salary Was je!t to the Comptroller, who made it $15,000 a year. Oomptroiier Connolly, in addition Wo the $15,000, continued to pay the previous extra, compensation of $6,500, which further sum, how- ever, Comptroller Green remsed to pay. Mr. O'Gorman brought sult against the city, and the case eame on some days age for a hearing before Judge J. ¥. Daly, holding Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas, when it was argued at length by Mr. A. Oakey Hall on behalf of Mr, O'Gorman, and Assistant Corporation Counsel Dean on behalf of the city. Judge J. F. Daly gave his decision in the matter yesterday. He holds that tne salary of the Corporation Counsel having been fixed at a stated sum @ Suit cannot be maintained for the extra pay demanded, and gives bis reasons in the iol- lowing opimon :— By the act (chapter 38 Laws of 1870, section 1), it is providéo that the Corporation Counsel shall receive an anuual salary, to be fixed by the Comptroller, nov ex- ceeding the annual compensation paid to the Recorder; and any provision of law inconsistent with this pro vision is repealed. The salary thus provided for has en fixe the Comptrolicr at $15,000 which su been paid to the plaintiff. This action is Drought t wer additional compensation at the rate of $6,500 per annum, under the act (chapter 122 Laws of 4894, Section 52), which provides: that "no costs, fees or charges shall hereafter be allowed or paid to the Coun- sel to the Corporation for the performance, on and alter the first day of : January next, of the services and duties now required” by law to reu- dered by him in any watter or roceeding tor the opening, widening, extending, laying out or otherwise improving the avenues, streets, public parks, ublic places or other public grounds in the city of New jut in lieu thereof the Counsel to the n shail receive trom and after the frst day of January next the sum ot $6, to be paid 4 ly by the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of New At the time of the vassage of this act the Counsel to the Corporation was in the receipt of a regular annual salary, fixed by the Common Council! at $3500. The act gave him $6,500 additional, in lieu of fees, &c., he was ustomed to receive in the proceedings men- tioned im the section quoted. ‘this double cor pensation, amounting together to $10,000 per a aid | quarierly, the incumbents of | the ct ‘ely received until the passage of the act ‘elerred to, providing that the Counsel! to on should receive an annual salary, to be Jomptroller, and repealing any provision of istont therewith, ‘The plaintiff calms thi the sulary of $15,000, fixed pursuant to the act of stiperseded only $3,100 of the $10,000 previously re ceived by him, becaute the balance, oF $6,600, was vot re- ceived as salary, but as compensation in leu of costs, fees and charges in certain proceedings, and the statute allowing him such compensation way not incousistert with the later state providing for a fixell y.

TWO YEARS FOR TAKING LIF On the morning of April 1, 187 better Known as * to his boarding house, No, 194 Clinton street, in company with a smail boy, having been ata party the night previous, Upon arriving im the hoase he met thomas Mclutyré alias Moore, who was ‘180 4 resideat of the same house, The latter took the boy into a room, and Hughes objected to his hoiding any private conversation with him, Tns exasperated Mcintyre and both the men became engaged in an altercation, during whieh, it is Hoghes struck the otner on the head jams. Nothing was thought of we win ees, oF & compensation in addition ty | , John Hugiies, | nck the Warnor,” went home | Matter for some time. McIntyre was arrested and sent Sing Sing for @ felony. He ar- rived there on the 26th of May, and died the next day of abscess of the brain. A warrant was tasued for the man Huches, and he was arrested in Philadelphia. He was pened on trial yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Barrett, Colonel C. 8. Spencer appearing as coun- sel for the prisoner and Assistant District Attor- ney, Russell for the prosecution. he testimony Was very brief. Witnesses for the rosecution corroboraied the story given above. ne defence was that it Was not shown that tue Mcintyre with whom the prisoner had au aiterca- ton was the man dying in prison, and that as to the altercation itseif Mclutvre was the as sailant, that he struck with his fist the prisoner, who retaliated by ‘throwing a lamp at Dim, that the iam did not hit him, but that be fell, striking his head on the edge of @ lounge, and thatif the man who died in prison was the one with whom the altercation was had, and his death was the result of injuries recetved during such altercution, the prisoner was justified in what be did, he baving acted in self-desence. The jury were out but a short time when they orought in “a verdict of gatity of manslaughter in the tourth degree. Judge Barrett proceeded to pass sentence. Tne whole trouble, he satd, lay in the fact that the accused had been drinking all the night previous. The jury bad been very merciiul to return the verdict fags? had. He tnought that he would be derelict in his duty if he did not tine poge the full penalty of the law; and be boped it wonld be a warning to others in tae same condi- tion. He taen senteneed him to imprisoument in She State Prison for two years. “Now that you have sentenced me,” said Hughes, addressing Judge Barrett, ‘‘alil have to say is that | am as innocent of the crime charged against me as you are.” UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

AN ALLEGED RECEIVER, The trial of George Febn, charged with grand larceny and receiving stolen goods, was com- menced in the afternoon. This case possesses some features of interest that are not found in many of the indictments tried for larceny. It ap- pears from the evidence thus far adduced by the people that on the 6th of October lest Miss Annie Carson eit Youchkeepsie by the aisernoon train tor New York, and previous to starting received the customary brass check, which was a duplicate of one placea upon her trunk, that contained her wearing apparel and derelty, valoed af about $1,500; that the trunk ‘as placed in the storage room of Westcott’s Bx- press office at the ¢epot, and that when sne ap- lied there a lew cays alter the trunk was gone, it was further shown that Westcott’s agent de- liyered the frunk on the eyenin, un of Qc- tober f6 ah oxpread maa Tiited Borate who handed him acheck. Peters swore that he re- cetved the check from Archibald M. Evans and de- livered the trunk at No. 495 Seventh avenue, the residence of the prisoner’s father. ‘The boy Evans was examilled at great length. He said tnat be had been in the employ o! the prisoner Fenn since August, driving a milk wagon, and that on the evening of the Sth of October he, in company With a boy named James Caughey (also in the employ o! the prisoner) went to the Grand Central Depot, and upon receiving a check from Caughey gave it tothe expressman, Mr. Peters, directing him to take it to No. 117 West Twenty- 8IXth street; that the prisoner sent them to the depot to get the trunk; that le subsequently saw Febn break opon the trunk and give ladies’ wear- ing apparel to him and two otner boys to sell, and that the tronk which Miss Carson afterwards identified at Jefferson Market was the one which Peters procured at the Grand Central depot. It 1s claimed by the prosecution that the prisoner on several occasions instigated boys to steal duplicate check at the depot, remove the checks placed on trunks and substitute stolen checks tor them, and then hire expressmen to take them away irom the depot. The case will be concluded on Thursday. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Smith, GRAND LARCENY. On the 14th inst.

The first witness called was WARDEN KRAN, of the Workhouse, who testified that he had been filteen years in the Penitentiary and fourteen years as Warden of the Workhouse; when Jonn Doe’s name was called off the keeper reported him dumb, and witness ordered him sent to the doctor; witness has no control of the doctor's disposition of the man; if the doctor reports he can’t work he caunot be put at work; tt is the duty of the balimen to not only put the food im the celi but to report to the doctor if he don’ eat; it 18 not the practice to feed them; I have known lunatics to remain sometimes two weeks in the Workhouse, awaiting the doctor's examination; they should not be left there more than twenty-four hours ; the prisoner’s condition was not called to my attention; if it had been I would have dealt with it very quickly; the associations Men meet with in the Workhouse are not calculated to improve their morals; he had seen cases where men had been sent up for ten days for taking a glass too much and were unable to pay a fine of $10; such cases should not be sent there at all; Ido not consider the Workhouse @ reformatory institution ; it 1s a penal institution. To General Sigel—We wash all prisoners ev ery Saturday, wash them when they come in, in warm water if it 18 a cold day; i! he {8 sick he is not washed, but sent to the doctor, WILLIAM FARSLAND, a fellow prisoner, confined with Stockvis in cell No. 79 for two nignts, testified that he committed himself because he was out of employment; had seen John Doe on the steamer en route; noticed that he had been cutin the nose; found he was unable to speak; he was quiet and orderly, but very feeble; his clo'hes were changed in the bath- room; he was then taken with me to cell No. 79 the day he was admitted; he was not washed; tne Keepers ted to get him to speak, but failed; there were twenty men inthatcell; that night he stood by his bed nearly an hour; looked vacant and mumbled something; about half an hour after he went to the door, and mumbled something that could not be understodd; we then qent to supper; when I came back I found him standing by the bed; never slept nor laid down during the night; Kept restless and mooning; in the morning when we went to breakiast he remained; found him still standing there by the bed, but NO FOOD WAS GIVEN HIM; atl the day he scratched and felt the door as if he wanted to get out; no injury was done him there; he did not go down to dinner; don’t think he went to supper either, as I found bim after return- ing from every meal in his cell; ne was the same way the second night until about hal-past elgnt, when the watchman came and took him out, not assigning a reason for such action, to another cell; he was harmless and never spoke; I never saw him fed by any one. GEORGE WILLIAMS, algo a fellow prisoner in cell No. 79, testified that the man Doe was restless and noisy, muttering words he could not understand; he was quiet otherwise; neither saw him sleep nor eat. Jonn Whealen, another fellow inmate; testified that the man was quite noisy; never saw btm eat or sleep, nor did ’ he see food given to him, William McCafferty, | another prisoner, confirmed the previous wit- nesses as to the man’s actions; never saw hin eat, sleep or drink; never saw him ied either; he was alWays muttering some sounds and shaking the door as if he wanted to get out.

Pending the action of the State Legislature on the proposition for a law to forbid tue use of nets in such manner as to impair the value of the bay and its connecting waters as a fishing ground with ordinary appliances for pleasure or profit, as well as to seriously injure property of all kinds on Long Island, the subject is attracting mucn atten tion along the south shore of the isiand. Among others who are actively pressing the passage of the bill are the members of the Sportsmen’s Club, which has addressed tothe several members of the Senate and Assembly the following leiter, which has Just been forwarded to Albany :— APPEAL OF THE SPORTSMRN’S CLUB, i N Yors, March 5, 1875, on. Dear Sin—By a communication addressed to me as President of the Southside Sportsmen's Club, of Lsiip, L. L, from Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt, of thls city, 1am informed that a bill is now vending before our Legisiu- ture, forbidding the use of what ts styled “pound nets” in the Great South Bay of Long Island, and the tinal Dassage of which is earnestly opposed by'a tew persous ‘Whose business it ts to own, control and use them, he clup which I have the honor to represent owns about 915 acres of land, situated in the town of Islip, Suffolk county, and which lands le adjacent to the north shore of the waters of the Great South Bay.
