THE COURTS. An Old Case of Legielative Lobbying Revived. MINING COMPANY. | THE QUICKSILVER | if Interesting Suit Growing Out of a Fallen Tree. | | Indanuary, 1873, Ogden Quirck sold for Jonnson Ge, an iron safe, receiving $490, which he failed $e pay over. Suit was brought before Judge Larre- more, of the Court of Common Pleas, for the @mount claimed. A verdict was given for the mount claimed with intcrest. | In June, 1871, Angelina A. States left with W. | ©. Brandon, a diamond broker residing in Broad- ‘way, @ valuable diamond ring to dispose of. Bran- don effected a sale of the sume for $450, but failed $0 pay bUt $100 of the proceeds. Sifit was brought fm the Cour! of Common Pleas, efore Juaye Larre- more, for the balance, and resulted im 8 verdict for | plawtif, with inierest, amounting to $444 58, Oliver S. Holden, area! estate broker, brought geit, in the Court of Common Pleas, before Jucge Larremore, agatast Francis Lelanc, Presioent of ‘the Sixth National and New York County banks, as execator of the estate of the late Cassius Dar- lung, to recover his commission for electing the Bale of the house No. 120 West Tuirty-ninth street to Dr. Schuerter for $40,400. The testimony was contradictory as to the employment of plaints, Dr. Schuetter, however, testilying that the sale wasefected through tne agency of the platatut After the contract of sale had bee: signed be- $ween the parties a flaw was found in the title, Bnd the sale was not consummated. The jury sounda verdict for the piaintid or $459 05, The city assessed St. Joseph’s church, in Manhat- tanville, for the Riverside Park improvement. Cardinal McCloskey brought an actiou to have such assessment vacated, A Gemurrer was Inter- posed to the compiuiut and the case argued he ore Vaage Van Brunt, in Supreme Court, Special Term. Judge Van Brunt gave a decision in the matter yesterday, sustaining the demurrer. He bolds that the act of 1874, amending that of 1858, deprives the Court of jurisdiction ta such action, and that the proceediag must be had under the latter act. The application brought on behall of the Howe Sewiog Machine Company Jor an injunction to re- | @train their agents trom foreciosing on the sales | of sewing machines to parties buying with the | Privilege of paying in iustalments, has been @fanted by Judge Barrett, of tue Supreme Court, amd the injunction made permanent. In the memorenda of his decision lie says that the cqui- Wes of the case require this course to be taken. Tate result will be most thankiully greeted by the Bundreds of poor girls, who, alter having partiy paid jor their sewing machines, came very near being deprived of them altogether, with loss of the money already paid. The civil rights contest ralsed by a colored Maz, named Davis, against the treasurer of one Of the city theatres, came on before United States Commissioner Vavenport yesterdey. Counsel for ‘be defence waived an examination, Assistant District Attorney Philip Purdy raised no ovjec- toms and the Commissioner sent the compiaiat to the Grand Jury. This i» probabiy the last of it. Before Commissioner John A, Sbielas, yester- day, Was arraigned Frank Hanlon and Nicholas Glarkeson, on the charze of violating the internal vevenue law, by having in thetr possession cigars Bet properly stamped. The evidence snowed that Hanlon was arrested by Officer Scanion, of toe ‘Third police precinet, with a bag of cigars in his possession. He gave the officer the information that Clarkeson was the principai, and he was sub- sequently arrested by Deputy Marsnal Downing. Commissioner shields, after hearing the evidence pro and con, committed botn men im default of $1,000 vail. LEGISLATIVE LOBBYING. & Ww. Drew had a contract for enlarging the Battery, and $65,000 cue him on the contract he asigned to Daviel Badcock. In order to get his money Mr. Babcock found it necessary to have she amoont of the ciaim inserted in the Tax Levy. Considering it an essential preliminary to get the Legislature right on the subject he, as alleged, ar- venged with James Culver, a lawyer, o manage ‘the affair, and the la:ter, as further alleged, em- ployed Charles P.
