Subsequently they soid to the same company the Yazov for $50,000, Theur remaining steamer, the Creole, was lost, but $50,000 was obtained on her in- rance, Jon N, Kranchoff, as the representative ‘of stOnk in the New York and Virginia Steamship Company, brought sult against Francis Skiddy and three other tors, Claiming that this Was & frgndulent sale of the company’s property; that the steamships were worth $500,000; that she stock taken for them was worth but fifty per cent; that Skiady, through his transaction became @ director in the Old Dominion line, and that he and the other directors agaiust whom the suit is brought acquired advantages to which they were not en- titled. He asked that the sale be set aside, and that the defendants render au accounting to ail the stockholders choosing to come into the suit. The case was tried before Judge Van Vorst, at Su- preme Court, Special Term, who gave his decision yesterday tn a lengthy opinion, He holds that a Sale by directors of the property of the company so as to destroy its vusiness 18 not lawiul; bur, under the circumstances, the company being largely in debt, its creditors pressing and the busi- pes a losing one, through Competition witn two other lines, thas their action waa justifiable, As the price obtained was a good one, the steamers reéliing three years later for $100,000, and as they offered tue stockholders @ proportionate interest in them, which they got On terms, and as the plaintu? so long delayed bis action, he decided that they were not in fault, but directed that a Jormal accounting should be made, and gives minute directions us to the mauner-of making such accounting.

Judge barrett, in Supreme Court, Chambers, before whom this application gave nis decision yesterday, denying the motion on the ground that the same, in his opinion, was bot made in good faith, A pri- Mary basis of dispute. resuiting in tais prolonged Titawation, was the question aa to the validity of the contract, it being claimed that having been given out without sealed proposals it was not & Vulid one, This objection, however, the Court of Appeals aecided as not holding good, inasmuch as the Work Was done pursuant Lo aa actof the Legislature, and to be paid for from special ap- propriations.

Toe statule required that these gentiemen should ptt tnetr diplomas and tnat they skoukl also make wilidavit that they were now residents of this judicial district. No appiiesmrs would be ad- mitted Whe resided in auother district or out of the State, He had observed from the list of the late graduates as given im the bewspapers that « great Many of them were residents of otner States uad he supposed a number more Were residenis of oluer districts, bat no person could be admitted to the Bar in tts district who Was not ao actual, dona fide resident of this city.
