NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL +18, 1875—QUINTUPLE SHEET. THE COURTS. The Habeas Corpus Proceedings in the Templeton Child Case. Mason, the Convicted Counterfeiter, Attempts to Stab the Principal Witness Against Him. _ Marx A. Woolf, of No, 306 West Thirty-ninth Street, was hela by Commissioner Shields yester- day in $2,000 to answer the charge of removing unstamped cigars from his factory. Daniel F. Long, who appeared @ witness in ,the Mason counterfeiting case, was arraigned be- fore Commissioner Shields on the charge o! pass- {ng counterivit money tn Boston, and, waiving an examination, a writ of removal was issued and he leit last evening in charge of a deputy marshal tor the Hub, Judge Barrett, in the Supreme Court, Champers, yesterday, granted a temporary injunction for+ bidding theatrical performances in Cordiaita Halle, (o Pitt street, until the proprietor pays the usual fee, This injunction was issued at the instance of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delin- quents, to which all theatrical fees and fines are payable, In the Templeton shooting affair the Cours of Appeals have unanimously afirmed—and, there- fore, without any opinion being written in the case—the decision of the Supreme Court, General Term, granting Templeton a new trial, Mr. Jonn D. Townsend, the prisoner’s counsel, will en- @eavor to have tle case brought to a speedy trial Bod it 18 understood that, meantime, an effort Will be made to baye him admitted to bail. THE TEMPLETON CHILD CASE. There was a jurther examination yesterilay, be- fore Judge Donohue, ot the Supreme Court, in the habeas corpus proceedings instituted to deter- mine whether the child Wille U. Templeton shail remain with his grand{acher, Colonel William C, Templeton, or ve given to his mother, Ida Maud Templeton. A large crowd tbrongea the court room, and the sharply inquisitorial questions put je Colonel Templeton in the continuation of his tro*mexamination, and his short, sharp and de- pisive answers, together witn the occasional lively interchanges of professional sparring, with not Always the “retort courteous,” between the opposing counsel, John oD.

A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE, & COURT WHICH GIVES TEN MINUTES TO RACH TRIAL—SHALL THE COURT OF SPECIAL SES- SIONS BE BEORGANIZED?—DAILY SESSIONS IMPERATIVE—THE HARDSHIPS WROUGHT BY THE PRESENT SYSTEM. The proposed reorganization of the Court of Special Sessions aud the comments published yes- terday in the HERALD on the bili now belore the Legislature have evoked a far more general ex- pression of opinions among criminal lawyers and judges and police oMcials than it was possibie to ascertain on the day before. lt was stated in these columns yesterday that among the advocates of the bill was Recorder Hackett, But it appears now that he 1s not the only prominent judge who favors the cnange. The writer conversed yesterday with several of the present police justices, who candidly confessed that they were greatiy over- worked and that the new law would afford them a relief which they needed most urgently. From Teliable statements it would also appear that a large number Of tue first criminal lawyers and ex- judges of New York who are most tamiliar with | the needs of our criminal courts are pushing for- ward the bill, aud have openly expressed their desire to see it passed as soon as possible. ‘he argumeats urged by them in support of the meas- ure are Jairly overwhelming, as will be seen trom the following brief synopsis of statements fur- nisbed yesterday to the writer. From these state- mens it would appear that the reorganization of the Court of Special Sessions would work a greatly needed reform in our minor criminal courts, INJUSTICE TO PRISONERS. Although Recorder Hackett and District Attor- ney Phelps gave it as their opinion that prisoners could not complain if they were tried before the same justices who committed them, the impres- Aion Seems still to be prevalent among criminal lawyers toat it would be better to try them before judges to whom they were strangers and whose minds were periect blanks so jar as their cases were concerned. Ti was urged that these pris: oners were in @ position very different irom those committed by higher courts, as the Oyer and Terminer, for instance. Many of the offenders who are brought to the police courts behave very badly while under the influence of liquor, and the justice is apt to be prejudiced against them when the culprits are brought again before His Honor at the Special sessions. The laws | already existing seem to have been framed with the same view in, sume respects. In cases of abandonment, jor instance, there is a statutory provision requiring that the action of the police justice must be reviewed by some of his associates, but not by himsel!, and in cases of bastardy the | Colonel lempleton, in view ol the | Police justices must send the prisoner to tue Gen- eral Sessions. The same rule, 1t1s argued, should be extended to the other offences, suc petit Jarceny, ussault and battery, &c. COMPLAINTS OF THE POLICE, An argument lar stronger, and the force of which seemed to be almost generally admitted, was that curing the three days in whicn the police justices presided over tue Special Sessions | wrest Incouveience and hardship co prisuners and witnesses resuited in their respective police courts, from woich they were necessarily absent. ‘This 18 particularly apparent in the case of the justice in Tremunt, Who has to come down all the way from tbat out-o!-the-worid place to attend the bpecial pessions three Gays in a week during the month fur which ne has been assigned ‘o that U1 course he is away jor hours aod bours, as the Special Sessions «pens at ten and sits uu- Ul two in the aiternyun, and the prisouers, com- plainants, oMcers and witnesses must wait at bis court until he reiurns, So it 18 also with the other justices, ali hough they need not come trom so great a aistance. Tne police suffer great hard- shios Irom tus state of things, ‘or while they milant be esting after their morning tour from eight A. Ml. to one P. M., in oraer to be able to gO again on duty at six P. M., they must walt with tueir prisovers till three or jour o'clock in the alternoou tor the return of the magistrate irom the Special Sessions. ‘Ibe worst of 1f is that business men wnen making complaints Cannot afford Lo Wait toree or four bours lor the return of the justice. ‘they go away, and thus an undue proportion of the prisoners are daily dis- charged for want 01 evidence. INDECENT UASTE IN THE SPECIAL SESSIONS. It is strenuously insisted upon oy the advocates of this bill that the change would be a great biess- jug to the city in causing the Special Sessions to sttevery day instead o1 thre days in the week, ersons travelling through the city who make complaints irequeatly cannot walt until the day on which the Court will sit, and thus many dangerot ruMans who should be punisned ai discharged because the complainant does not appear. Tue annual report of the police justices tally bears out this assertion, Jor it states the oumber of prisoners discharged irom the jailure 0! the complaioants to appear at 1,866! The new Court wouid sit every day, of course. There certuipiy is wo doubt that irom this point of view alone the change seems Most Gesirabie. ADY ome WhO bas attended the Special Sessions and seen how the judges rattic turough the cases with a velocity only equailed by the London and Dover Raiioad wil oluso ior tae mockery 0/ justice tuat is dealt out there fo offend- ersandevil-doers. ‘Ihe justices have scarcely time to aliow a statement to ov made by the prisoner, the ca: isposed of 1n Less time than it would take botn sides to teil brief, uuvarnisned story. Let us 100K at the annual report oi the police Jusuces on this point. Octobver 31, 1874. DO less than 4.074 cases were tried 1a the Special Sessions. At the rate of three | trial days in the Week, or 156 in the year, and ses- sions jasiing irom ten A.M. to two P. M., the number Of cases tried each day would appear to be twenty-six, and the time allowed jor eacn trial less tuan ten minutes. Anu to such indecent, hasty action are the liverties of the people now exposed. WHY THE TOMBS IS OVERCROWDED. Previous 'o tue passage Of chapter 638 of the Laws of 173 Aldermen and District Court justi acted a8 magistrates in «he police courts while t police justices were engaged in the Special Ses. sions. ‘Then there Was @ reliei from thes: great eViis; but now tbat they are prouipited irom sit- ting 8 magistrates tuere is Done woatever. ‘ine the Tombs is also attributed to wne fact t the Special Sessions sis only three Gays im the week. Duriog the year ending October Sl, 1874, 4,621 persons were arrtésted Jor felonies, and 12.426 persons ior misde- meanors. AS most Of toe ia#t named cluss of cases must be tried in the Special Sessions it is evident tout the City Prison is principally crowded by prisoners awaiting trial in that Court. Prison- ers of this class canuot be transierred from the City Prison util alter they bave been formaliy tried, wiile the petty offenders, sych as are sen- tenced for ten days, &c., may be transierred alter jorty-eigit hours to blackweil’s Isiand by the Commissioners of Charities ana Correction, Hence, if tne Court Of Special Sessions were tu ses- sion every day, (here would probably be no neces- sity for erectin= a new City Prison, whica 1s liable to cost the city ball a million doilars, THE POLICE COURTS BUSY ENOUGH, There is LO duudt that another argument which is urged—namely, that the police justices have quite enouga to doin their respective courts—is borne out by the figures furnismed oy the annual report already ailuded to. During tie year end- ing Octover 31, 1874, 84,821 prisoners were arrested and taken before the police justices, as fo.low: First Distriet Court % Second istrict Court Thira District Court Fourth District Cow 45 euch day. Fitth District « ourt. 9 each day. Sixth District Cour 742. 2 each day There ave eleven justices in all, two foreach of the arst five vistrict courts and one jor the aixth. Now 1¢ would undoubted be the easiest thing to spare one of the two justices from the Fiitn district, where the business is sight, aud who could sit at the special sessions in conjunction With the two bew justices to ve appointed by tne Moyor and conirmed by tae Boara of Aldermen, (fie Sixta District Court, where the business seems tu ve smailest, Is at Tremont, and there a Justice 18 quite indispensable.) THE QUESTION OF EXPENSE. lt bas already been shown that, ia the opinion of the advocates Of the biil, une overcrowding of could ve prevented by the reorgauza- tion of the Cours of Special Sessions, thus remov- ig @ great eVil Which has jed to repeated indictments Of the present City Prison py a grand jury duriay the jase fiteen years, and tue necessity Of bulid.ug anew one, Another move of vOViating this diMCuity would be Bue pas- sage of Mr. Waehver’s vii creating a “Central Crumimal Court,’’ but While the auditional salaries entatied by the latter wonld at least amount to $60,000 or $60,000, and toe eutire cost probavly to $100,000 a year, the reorgavization of tne Spectal dessivns Would Ouly imply AO aduitional outlay of $16,000 @ year (LWO justices at $4,000 eacn).

The Position of Parties as to the Result. A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. The temporary interruption to the great trial in Brooklyn on Thursday morning last, through the sudden illness of Mr. Fullerton, has opened atresh all the flooagates of discussion and speculation on the merits of the case. As the trial proceeded day by day each session’s developments afforded mat- | ter enough lor the most earnest and zealous sup- porters of either side of the case to combat over; but in the luil that bas intervened the whole grouna is again fought over, as in the days just preceding the appearance of the principal con- Testants im court belore a judge and jury, sup- ported by a host of counsel wel! learned in the law. Ot course these outside disputants are fortified in their opinions and conciusions by the course of the trial so far as 1t has proceeded, and each side claims an advantage so lar, Neither | Party admits the possibility of a douptiul issue, The supporters of the delendant would be faise | to the iaith that isin them by entertaining the bare possibility ofa disagreement onthe part of the jury, and their estimate of ine success of tueir espoused cause can only be reached vy a unani- mous acquittal. Their opponents, on the other hand, while not expecting a verdict tor the plain- 11M, will. accept a disagreement as a victory. Look- ing at the other side, 1t would hardly be justice to designate the party of the second part, as referred to in this connection, the supporters of the plain- ud, The position of this party is very anomalous; for, while the great majority of it will argue the case against the defendant as zealously, i not as ably, a8 counsei may, 1t 18 not so much for the sake of the plainuff in the cage as to establish their own theory ot it. } ‘The proceedings of Wednesday last are accepted by the anti-Beecherites as the first indication of a weakening of the line of detence, Fullerton’s tac- ties in dealing with the “contrition letter” are the principal theme of comment and the ground he is supposed to have gained thereby, No sooner haa he brought the defenaant within point range be- tween.two fires—oue tne letter of contrition, writ- ten on the 1st Of January, 1871, “intrusted in con- fidence to Frank D, Moulton,” and that “iriendly confidence” on the Sabbdath day, and his letter | from Peekskill to Mouiton in April, 1873, when, after depicting the biue skies and the opening flowers and the encouraging prospect, he says to Frank toat ‘iiton’s publication of ‘my letter to you (the contritioa letter) would be a damaging to him as it would be to me.” Here Fullerton’s opportunity presented itsell, Ihe point offensive and defensive—the necessity to hold it at all bazards, and the advan- tage to be gained by rendering it untenable, nad become apparent to all’n the court room, from | the skirmisning of Fullerton leading to iis direct advance. The point was the deleadant’s denial that this letter of contrition was his composition or dictation, As @ whole he had merely suggested | bere and there a jew woras—expressions of his | feelings of regret at tne injury he had done to ‘Luton's “nousehola?—nucuing in Lhe pature of an a@iiusion tu “improper advances” or “iuuproper solcitations,” or tue humoliug of bimseti belore | Taeouore 1 tie seuse conveyed therein being en- tertalued or contemplated by him—in jact, a de- | nial Of the letter of cuntrtiion of January, He neituer understoud ihe paper as a leu | declaration from kim to Moulton. ‘bhen £ ilerton, | wita one of those ominous pauses—waich makes | his neXt attack to Le so dreaded—vpeus his secoud line of fire—tbrough the Peekskill lewer, “My lecier to you” (conirition letver), Here came wwe turming point oi the day’s Comvat.

These gentlemen are supposed to get what they ask for, and bring the patronage back to their district, there to be distributed, | Its claimed that 1,200 labor tickets have been given out by the Committee on Organization, but | not more than nine hundred or one thousand | have been distributed by the district general com- mittees, As te numoer of men put to work | agrees with tue number of tickets given out | at Tammany Hall, it is a very interesting inquiry how the otner ticket(s were dispensed, How they were given away does not appear, but of iate some very interesting facts have developed themselves which may in & measure prove useful to those who | are anxious to sit tue matter. | On Toursuay night the Geueral Committee of the | Seventeentn Assembly district met anu discharged | Messrs.
