THE COURTS. The Parsee Lunatic Merchant, Ro- manjee Byramjee Colah. A LEGAL FIGHT OVER HIS MONEY. Ten Jurors Obtained in the Scannell Case. IMPORTANT TO BANKERS. Romanjee Byramjec Colab, s Parsee merchant, a native of Bombay, India, having, in 1870, turned bis property into money, left Bombay and travelled through various foreign countries, leaving nis wife and family at Bombay without means of support. In what year he reached th:s courtry, having in bis pos- session a large sum in gold. While here he gave such indications of unsound mind that he was adjudged to be a lunatic, and committees of his person and also of his estate were appointed by the Court, He remained undor the care and supervision of the Court until Oc- tober, 1871, when he was removed to his native place, Bombay. The committee of his estate succeeded meantime in obtaining possession of his effects to the amount of about $100,000, The costs and expenses of Colah’s maintenance and support were defrayed out of these moneys by the committee of his estate. In tho fall of 1871 the relatives of Colah, who had mean- me been informed of his condition and of the procced- Ings had in the Court here, petitioned for his transfer to Bombay and also of his property in the custody of the Court. In that application it appeared, among other things, that Colah had left his family without provision for their support, and the Court thereupon made an order that the committee of his estate remit $150 a month toward the support of Colah's family at Bombay. The Conrt also directed full investigation as to the propriety of the removal of Colah to Bombay. Such removal was determined upon as beneficial to Colah. An order was thereupon made by the Court, dated October 26, 1 which, among other things, provided that Mr. A. G. Constable, who then was acting as the committee of his person, should re- move him to Bombay. This was done, and then th ensued a legal coutest ax to the surrender of Colah’s money. The wife of Colah petitioned the Court for such iransfer. The Court, however, declined to hear the applications for such transier until the sottiement of the accounts of the expenses incurred im Codah’s re- moval to Bombay. For nearly four years the matter has been before the courts, and, meanwhile, the ex- nses of court have been largely increased. Finally udge Van Brunt, however, after holding for some six mouths the papers thus submitted, directed an order to be entered absolutely denying the ap- plications for the transfer of any portion of the estate, enumerating in his opinion certain alleged technical defects as to proofs that he asserted had not been made upon such applications, but giving no leave to renew under any circumstances, From that order an appeal was taken. The case came up for argument yesterday before the General Term of the Court of Common Pieas. Upon this appeal it was contended that under all the cir cumstances of*the case the application should have been granted; that every fact necessary for the Court $o uct circumspectly and properly lad heretofore been found by the Court; that the lunatic belongs to Bombay, where he has been returned by the Court; that his estate should be where, should he recover, ho could obtain tt with the least trouble and expense; where, should he not recover, the most income may be derived trom tt with the slightest trouble and expense, and where, should he die, lus heirs may obtain it with the least trouble and expense. After hearing the argument the Court took the Papers, reserving its decision. SCANNELL RETRIAL. ‘The third days efforts to complete the jury sought to be obtained for the retrial of John Scannell for the al- leged murder ot Thomas J. Donohue succeeded to the extent of filling three additional seats in the jury box, making ten jurors altogether. As on the previous days there wasa much larger crowd eager to obtain admis- sion to the court room than could possibly be accom- modated. The prisoner, accompanied as heretotore by | bis wife, was carly on hand and in their accustomed seats, as were also his quartet of counsel, Messrs, Will- jam A. Beach, William F. Howe, Charles Spencer and Peter Mitchel, and the prosecuting counsel, District At- torney Phelps and Assistant District Attorneys Rollins and Lyons. Judge Barrett, immediately on calling the Court to order, called up Mr. Frederick BE. Douglas, who had ‘een examined on the day previous, and asked an ex- planation of his statement during the progress of his ‘examination, that some one kuowing be had been sum- moned as a juror had talked to him about the trial. Mr. Douglas convinced Judge Barrett that he bad misin- terpreted his language, and he was exonerated from all blame, but Judge Barrett made the occasion, however, the basis of a remark that he felt it his duty, to call at- tention to the evident tendency on the part of jurors to express themselves at length about a previously formed opinion for no other purpose than to evade jnry duty. Alter this preliminary episode the attempt to fill the remaining vacant seats in the, jury box ‘was entered upon briskly. There were the same stereotyped questions as before, wh the usual alternations of tedious dulness and spicy rencontres. In some cases, in fact, the questions took a pretty road range, evidently not so much to test the avaii- ‘ability of the person under examination to act as juror as to infuse an element of spice into the day's pro- ceedings. Mainly the sharp and well disciplined coun- vel came off victors, but once in a while the jurors got decidedly the best of it. Among the persons ex- amined was an Italian, formerly employed as a tresco | artist by Andy Garvey. His statements that he “bad no conscientious scruples” evoked a general smile, at which he was evidently considerably disconcerted. | As already stated, three additional jurors were obtained through the day. The following is the list thus tar John Ginshbusb, No. 605 Worth street, wool m ebant. David J. Dannet, No. 8 Tompkins street, lumber dealer. Jobn J. Hicks, No, 111 South street, wrecker. Samuel Booth, No. 645 West Thirty-iifth street, boiter maker. Jobn 8, Neill, No, 50 Beckman street, printing rollers, Sherman P. Colt, No. 47 Beekman street, hardware. John H. Oberteuffer, No, 199 Grand street, dry goods, ‘Walter Scott, No, 10 Park piace, painter, Eldridge C. Blaisdell, No. 562 Broadway, clerk. Frederick N, Flint, No. 49 Chambers street, hard- ‘ware. ‘Another extra panel was ordered for to-day, from which it is anticipated there will be no difficulty in fill- ing the two still remaining vacant seate. Up to the ad- journment of the court yesterday both the prisovers’ ounsel and the prosecuting counsel had each used thir- teen peremptory challenges. PAYMENT OF RAISED CHECKS. A somewhat singular suit was concluded yesterday Defore Judge Robinson in the Court of Common Pleas in connection with a raised check. An uptown store keeper, in changing @ $100 bill, gave a genuine check for $24 on the Security Bank of this city. This check was subsoquently raised $4,222.55 and the endorsement also altered. The ehtck as thus raised was certified by the bank, Soon afterward it was deposited in the National Bank of the Republic, and next went through | the Clearing House, the Security Bank ‘he amount to the National Bank of Republic, The latter bank svon discovered the check aying had been raised, and applied to the former bank tor | payment of the difference, which was refused on the | jon before payment. Suit was | the Security Bank against the public to recover the difference | ground of its certificati accordingly brought by National Bank of the cluimed to be due, It was decided at the General Term that the certification was not an estoppel to the suit. After hearing the testimony, which was a repetition of that previously given in the Heratp, Judge Robinson directed a verdiet for $5,602 60 in favor of the Security Bank, DECISIONS.

Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry submitted Leonard to a Tigid cross-cxamination, but developed no facts addi- tional to those brought out in his direct examination. Mr. Langbien, the opposing counsel took the Prince | in hand, but the boy insisted on reiterating his previ +ous story of alleged cruel treatment of himself by Leonard, The case is to be summed up before Judge Donohue, who will then decide the disposition to be ': made of the Prince. A rather curious suit as to the possession of two lots on Twenty-fifth street came up yesterday in the Superior Court before Judge Speir. “Jeremiah Towle bought in 1830 the lots in question at a reteree’s sale, Bat had adoed for them mage outto a Mr. Sydain. ‘The question, however, goes back still earlier, to water grants made in 1801, William Remsen and the other defendants claim title to the property under this grant and on continuous occupation tor over twenty years, The suit was commenced in 1860 and the trial promises to occupy two or three days. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Hackett. A NIGHT'S LODGING AND WHAT CAME OF IT. Michael Flannagan is a groom, and 1s employed gen- erally on Staten Island. On the 28th of last month he came up to the city and about eleven o’clock at night was passing through Thompson street, when he was addressed by a young negro woman who stood in front of No. 59, She asked him whether he wanted to hire a | room for the night and he replied in the affirmative, whereupon she led him toasieeping chamber, and, | after exacting a dollar in payment, Jeft him to repose. He had not been in bed more than an hour when the | woman returned in company with two men who held Flannagan while the woman stole $40 from his clothing. When released the victin made his ‘way to the street and calied for the police; but when an officer arrived the culprits: had fied.

They were arraigned, tried and found guilty yester In passing sentence Recorder Hack to the prisoners, as they stood before the | | | | | { Your evidently miserable condition in life and | your color excite my sympathy.

Maher is a desperate young rufian, only nineteen years old, who not long since was at the bar ona charge of rape. When arraigned for sentence yester- day, the Recorder was about to administer some coun sel io him, when the hopeless reprobate grinned from ear tocar. ‘“‘Itis evident that you consider it fun,” soid the Recorder, “I am very sorry that the statute will not permit me to make it still funnier for you.

He then reproved ber for no¥ having come over the river to attend his wed- ding; witness had received an invitation from the de- ceased, tn his own handwriting, to come to the wed- ding; it was destroyed years ago; it came through her oldest son, who got it in Jersey City; she gave it to her husband when he came in and he read it to her; she did not know of any other person who got an invita.’ tion in writing to the wedding. JANE VALBNTINK’S GIRLMOOD HOURS. Mrs. Sabrina Smith, of Maspeth, L. L, testifled that she is a widow and is sixty years of age; knew plaintift when she was about sixteen years of age; witness was then living with her father, Samuel Higgins, in Clinton reet, New York; saw Honry Shiclds at her house and at Mrs. Toy’s house, Elizabeth street; ho called to see Jane; he was keeping company with ‘her and often sat up there with herself and the witness as late as ten | or eleven o'clock; Shields was then twenty-five or thirty years of age; witness at that time was keep- ing company with the man she herself married; Henry Shields was then driving a cart; he was a short man, and had dark hair; heard of Jane’s marriage to de- ceased when she called on her; witness never heard aught against her modesty of chastity; the first child witness ever heard of her having was in Norfolk street about two years after her marriage; never heard of her having bad a child at the house of Mrs. Toy; Henry Shields was in the habit of going to witness’ father’s house to see Jane, who spent alternate Sunday even- ings with her. Samuel Overing, who was married to Rachel Valen- tine, a sister of the plaintiff, testified that he is seventy- four years old, and knew Jane when she was thirteen or fourteen years old; in 1834 and 1835 she lived with them, aud at times with Mrs. Patrick Toy; Henry Shield: wife, Jane, and their tamily for fifteen or sixteen years in the same house with the wit- ness. This closed the case for the plaintiff. THE DEFENCE. Mr, Blanke, who then opened the case for the de- fence, argued that they would show that the alleged marriage of Jane Shields wasa sham. The deceased was a Roman Catholic, and when in November, 1848, he married Miss Catharine Lawlor his marriage was published. They would put ina paper, an application for pension, in which Jano swore her band, Henry Shields, died in 1865, There is a deed on record in which she appears as Jane Brown, wife of James Brown. The whole claim was got up alter the death of Mr. Shields. William Lawlor, brother of Mrs. Catharine Shielis, deing called for the defence, testified that he was very intimate with Henry Shields; was in his employ and roomed with him for two years prior to 1848. The wit- ness then pointed out the three sons of Henry Shields, his nephews, William Shields, Jane’s son, was then called up by counsel, and in answer to questions he said the latter, William, had eyes and hair like his father, Heary, but ho was not so tall. AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE. ‘ Mrs. Ellen Watson testitied that she is in ber seventy- fourth year; she has lived for twenty years in Brook- lyn; she came to this country when eighteen years of age, in the year 1824; had known Henry Shields since 1824; ho ‘was in ‘the habit of visiting a Mr, McCafferty in Elizabeth’ street, door to where she then resided; he was then about twenty-four years of age; he was there every evening in the summer time; he carried on the business of a baker in 1827, and’ for three years after; he went to carting after that; he boarded at Mrs. Lazadoe’s for several years, in Crosby street; from there he went to board at Mrs. MeAndrew’s; he very often called to see the witness with her husband at No, 32 Stanton stroct; saw him while he was boarding at Joseph McArdle's, about 1840; he then went to buard with Mrs. Bolander, in Houston street; from there he went to Alderman Lee’s, Bowery, corner of Stanton street; he was then paying attention to Miss Lawlor. Witness said de- ceased was keeping a room at Alderman Lee’s house when he got married to Miss Lawlor; deccased was inthe habit of visiting witness very frequent, there was scarcely a week that he did not call to see her; he was known as asingle man during all those years down to when ho m: Lawior; he tended the Catholic church in Mott street when a lad; afterward he went to St. Joseph’s, Rey. Dr. Pisce; he then attended St. Peter’s, in Barclay street, where he ‘was married to Miss Lawlor, BYGONE DAYS IN REVIEW. Mrs. Harry Raymond, née Garrity, testified that she made the acquaintance ‘of Henry Shields in 1852; her brother brought him to their house in Elm street, near Broome, and introduced him; he was then engaged in carting and was in the habit of visiting at their house once or twice a week; witness was married in 1838, and her husband and Henry Shields were most inti: mate friends until 1859, when Mr. Raymond died; the first year St. Joseph’s church, Sixth avenue, was built, in 1833, deceased went there; Mr. Shields had a pew’ there and attended every Sunday; knew of Henry Shields paying attention to Miss Lawlor for four years before they were married; knew Miss Lawlor's mother; learned of their marriage the next day. The cross-examination was unimportant, after which the court adjourned. THE SINGER WILL CASE. The contest regarding the will of the late Isaac M. Singer promises to be a protracted and bitter one on both sides, It was understood yesterday that renewed overtures, looking to a compromise, had been made to Mrs, Mary Ann Foster, the contestant, and which were rejected by that lady, who is determined that the judi- cial inquiry respecting her claim as the widow of the testator shall go on, feeling confident that the more the case is probed the more complete will be the re-estab- lishing ot her reputation before the world. In the HERALD report of the proceedings, published yester day, it was inadvertently stated that the proponents of the will had intimated their willingness to increase a former offer of ‘*$2,000,000 to $3,000,000" if the con- testant would relinquishther claim. It was intended to read ‘from $200,000 to $300,000." SHOCKING SUICIDES. TWO YOUNG GIRLS POISON THEMSELVES IN BROOKLYN. Four cases ot suicide have occurred in Brooklyn dur- ing the past threo days. The particulars of the tirst two cases, whien have already been published, described the deaths of wretched prisoners who hung themselves in their cells. The latest cases are those of two young girls, one fourteen and the other eighteen years of age, who ended their lives by taking poison, bi A LITTLE ORPHAN'S FATAL MELANCHOLY. The first case in point occurred on Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. H. W. Burton, No, 2424 Classon avenue, the victim being Mary A. Rice, who was employed as @ servant. She was only four. teen years old and an orphan. About months ago she was found by the New York police, wandering about the streets, hungry, forlorn and clothed im ragged garments, Upon being taken be- fore Superintendent Walling she stated that she for- meriy lived in Geneva, N. Y., whence she had wandered to New York. As a reason for leaving Ge- neva she said her parents were both dead and that she wax homeless and friondiess. By coming to tho city she hoped to obtain sufficient employment to secure livelihood. The girl, by her intelligence and apparent desire to earn hor living, enlisted the sympathy of Cap- tain Copeland, who provided her with a home and a situation to astist in doing housework at the house of Mr. Barton. The little girl, who was active and will- ing, soon made heraclf very nseful to her employors. For the first few weeks of her residence with the Bur- ton family Mary appeared cheerful and happy, but during the past fortnight she seemed to be afflicted with melancholia, supposed to have been in- duced by the loss of her parents. Several days ago Mr. Barton purchased a quantity of strychnine jor the purpose of poisoning a noisy dog in the vicinity, He laced the vial containing the poison in a closet, and as ¢ was doing so the girl asked him what it contained. He repliod that it was «deadly poison and warned her against touching it. Mary said nothing more about COURT OF APPEALS.
