THE COURTS. Important Decision in the Case of Charles L, Lawrence, THE INDICTMENT SUSTAINED. Responsibility for Colli- sions at Sea. Recovering Lest Jewelry Un- der Difficulties. Teresa Clifton Restored to Her Parents. In the United States Cireuit Court, Criminal Branch, yesterday, in the case of the United States va, Charles L. Lawrence, on demurrer, Judse Benediet gave the following decision:—‘The indictment contains nine counts, in sets of three each, Tho first count of each set charges the forging of a certain writing for the pur- pose of defrauding the United States, The second count of each set charges the uttering of a similar writing with like intent, The third count in each set charges that the defendant did transmit to and present atan oflice of the United States a writing similar to that set forth tn the other counts. The writing set forth In the first set of counts is what is known as an owner's oath, required be law to be given before mak- ing an entry of goods at the Custom House, The writing get forth in the second set of counts is an import eutry, ‘The indictments are framed under the act of April 6, 1866, which provides a penalty for the forging of ‘any bid, proposal, guarantee, official bond, public record, afidavit or other writing’ for the purpose of defrauding the United States. ‘Tho first position taken in support of the demurrer is that the rule of construction, accord- ing to which general words are restricted by particular words, should be applied to this statute, and the mean- ing of the words ‘other writings’ in this provision, eri soasto exclude from the operation of the statute such writings us are not set forth in this indict- ment. The rule here invoked is not an arbitrary rule, dut one of many resorted to for the ascertainment of the intent of the legislator when such intent is not otherwise apparent. To apply it to all generat words would often defeat the intention of the legislator, and such, in my opiate. would be its effect if applied to this statute, Nothing in the language used nor in the mischiefs “intended to be remedied, ‘nor the circum- stances under which tho statute was enacted, indicates that the words ‘other writings’ aere used in a re- stricted sense, but the contrary. Various writings are mentioned, but thoy have no common object nor any characteristic features common to all irom which to in- fer an mtention to restrict the effect of the provision to any particular class of writings. The object of the aot was to cover the forging of writings found to be without the scope of the act of 1823. The demurrer to the indictment must be overruled.” The trial of Law-_ rence has been set down for December 15, THE BARGE ARCTIC. In ths United States District Court yesterday, in the ease of Lowa Mayer, owner of the canal boat Karly and Late, against tre steamboat Herald, the steamer Con- necticut and the targe Arctic, Judge Blatchford ren- dered the following deeision :— Although the motive power which gave the barge her forward movement was inthe Herald, and she was betty Og soine distance ustern of the Herald bya line from the stern of the Herwid, yet sne was being gaided by the movement of her own rudder, controlled yy the will and discretion of her own captain, who was at the wheel in her pilot house, The barge struck the boat that was in front of the libellant’s boa, and drove the former against the latter and thus caused the in- jury complained of It is plain that the barge took a sheer and went out of her proper course. Under the circumstances it is for her to establish that the sheer was caused by some fault on the partof the Heraid, This is not done; nor is any fault shown on the part ot the Connecticut, The libel is dismissed as to the Herald and the Connecticut anda decree will be en- tered in favor of the libellant against the barge, with a Tettant. to ascertain the damage sustained by the A SINGULAR LOST JEWELRY SUIT. A suit presenting some rather novel features was yesterday brought to trial before Judge Lawrence, holding Supreme Court, Circnit. Will'am H. Ross and his wife were among the passengers taking pagsage in 1858 from Havana to Charieston, 8. C., in the steamer Isabella. The stoamor came to an anchor just outside the harbor and tne passengers and baggage were trans- forred to a steam tug and thence conveyed to the city. Among the baggage of Mr. Ross was a small black box, containing jewelry and other valuables, This box he | failed to find among his baggage, but it subsequently turned up on the wharf of Spofford, Tillotson & Co., of . this city, the consignees ot Mordecai & Co., who ran the steamer. The suit was bronght against the latter firm to recover the value of the lost jewelry. Before it could reach a trial the civil war intervened, which put . wstop to further proceedings, After the ‘close of the war the suit was revived. In accordance with the usual “Jaws delays” it was a long time, however, in reaching As already stated the trial began yesterday, the suit being for some $7,000, the valuo of the’ lost jewelry, with interest from the time of the loss. The testimony submitted was mostly that taken on commis- sion, At the couclusion of the testimony for the plain- tiff a motion was made on behalf of the defendants to dismiss the complaint, which was arguea at considerable tength, when Judge Lawrence took the papers promising to give adecision this morn- n There are some singular circumstances connected with this case worthy of particular mention. Most of the lost jewelry consisted of diamonds in settings, Some time ago a Catholic pr: through a commu cation made to him, as stated, confessional, gave the settings minus the stones to Daniel Torrence, son- in-law of Commodore Vanderbilt, who placed them in his safe for safe keeping. They had not been in his possession long, however, before they were stolen irom the safo, together with $3,600 in gold, which Mr. Tor- rence had in the safe atthe time. In addition to this fatality, so to speak, overtaking the jewelry, a like re- markable fatality overtook the steamer Isabella, Dur- ing the war she was used as a blockade runner, ber name being changed to Ella Warley. While off Charles- ton the steamer was captured by a United States gun- Doat, after which she was brought to this city when she collided with the North Star and was sunk. THE CASE OF TERESA CLIFTON. What is presumed to bea final order was made yes- terday by Judge Brady in the case of Teresa Clifton, a girl thirteen years of age, who, as is alleged, was kidnapped by ex-Police Commissioner Gardner and Captain Will- jams from an alleged panel house kept by Annie Small, in Third street, As will be remembered, at the close ofa lengthy examination Judge Brady directed the girl to be sent to the. Sheltering Arms, where she has been keptever since. Her parents desiring to regain pos- session of her obtained a writ of habeas corpus, which reopened the case lor further investigation, the main point under consideration being their Htness to be in- trusted with her care. The tollowing is the opinion given yesterday by Judge Brady upon the application for the child's custody, and from whieh, as will || be seen, Vo orders hef restoration to her parents, iJ “I have arrived at the conclusion that Teresa Small may be restored to her parents. ‘The recent deyelop- ments in reference to her, by proofs taken, forded change the case as originally presented, a justity in tn again trusting her to them. I nevertheless think they were guilty of negligence in omitting to make full inquiry belore allowing ber to accept employment from the person to whom she was allowed to go. If it bee comes necessary for her to labor away from’her home, her parents must look to it that diligent investigation be mace of the place and of the.character of the person in which and by whom she may be ree’ This d is imposed now on the parents, and U @ thi vised that it must be performed. 1 have ready gested that children velone as well to the State. as to phe parents, and that the latter was controlled by the saws which society has established for their rule of con- duet, laws which will be enforced by the authorities when it becomes necessary for that moral protection which the parents failto give. An order may be en- tered in accordance with these views.” SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. John R, Croes, charged with grand larceny, was tried before Judge Sutherland yesterday in the Court of General Sessions and promptly acquitted, the accusa- *Jon having been proven groundless, Mr. Croes was defended by ex- Assistant District Attorney Nolan. In the United States District Court yesterday, before Judge Biatehford, the jury in the case of the United States againat ten barrels of spirits claimed by Philip H. Tuska, of No. 24 South William street, rendered a verdict condemning the goods for violation of the In- ternal Revenue law, In the United States Circuit Court, Criminal Branch, before Jndge Benedict, yesterday, the case of the United States against H. B. Claflin & Co, was taken from the calendar by the request of United States Dis- trict Attorney Bliss and puton the calendar for the January term.

Naintiff’s story was tbat in 1873 and 1874 defendant kept company with plaintiff and engaged to marry her, but she discovered that he was then a married map, She, notwithstanding this marriage, claimed to have had her affections trifle with by defendant, and brought her suitin the Superior Court to recover damages, and, in settlement of this suit, she took the notes at issue inthe suit decided yesterday. Defendant claimed the notes were given for @ purpose other than*that asserted by plaintiff. =A rather interesting point and one which has never Been decided before in the courts, was decided yester- day InSupreme Court, Special Term, by Judge Law. rence. Eugene Thorson brought against Samuel N. Salomon to recover on a “straddle,” a put and call in the same paper, for several hundred shares of stock. The defendant, through his counsel, John E. Develin, demurred, arguing that the alleged cause of action was void, because no delivery of any stock was made or in- tended, that there was no mutuality of contract, that at most it was a mero proposition of one party to re- ceive or deliver the stock and that there was no agree- ment to perform by the other paryy. ‘The plaintiff, by his counsel, D, M. Porter, insisted that the-plaiutiit pid defendant a cousi‘etation not to withdraw bis proposition, and that time stock transactions were legalized by the Legislature in 1S The Court gave Judgment for plaintiff, holding that although the con- ‘tract would haye been’ vold at common law the Legis- lature had legalized it DECISIONS.

A LOVER'S LARCENY OF LACE. John D. Scheidauer was placed on trial yesterday, charged with stealing $40 worth of lace from Mrs, Rose Ludwig, of No. 44 East Tonth street, That lady tosti- fied that on the 25th of July last she missed the Jace in question, which had been attached to one of hor dresses, and that on the day before Thankegiving Day she found it on the dress of her servant, Bertha Marks, Op being questioned the domesiic stated that she ‘had brought the property from Germany. A. policeman was called in, when she contessed that the lace had been given to her by her lover, Scheidauer, who had formerly been employed in her mistress” house, but who was then engaged as porter in a downtown glove store. The young man was at once arrested, He ad- mitted giving the lace to the girl, but denied that it had ever been the property of her ‘mistress, and stated that he had found it in.a loft over his employer's store when the place was being cleared up on the ist of May. His room was searched, and in a trunk were found seven pairs of kid loves, which were identified as his employer's property. ‘Tho prisoner told the same story on the stand about his finding the Ince, but Mrs, Ludwig, being recailed, identified it in the most positive manner as the property wuich had been stolen from her. The jury found the prigouer not guilty of the charge, a verdict in which His Honor did not coi cnr, for he said to the prisoner when discharging hin “If ever there was a guilty man you are one.” Sheidauer was then held upon an indictment for lar- ceny, preferred by the owner of the gloves. Upon that indictmont he pleaded guilty, and was gent to the Pen- itentiary for six months. NOT MAYHEM, BUT ASSAULT. On the 15th of July, 1874, C. Martin Godfrey bit off the ear of Robert Southern, of No, 206 Kast 117th street, and in January last le was tried before Judge Sutheriand, in the Court of General Sessions, on an ind‘ctment for mayhem. He was found guilty and sen- tenced to confinement in State Prison for soven years. Mr, William F, Howe, bis counsel, carried the case to the Court of Appeals, which decided that there was not suilicient evidence of premeditation on the part of the accused to warrant aconviction fur mayhem. In consequence of this decision Godfrey was brought into court yesterday, when Assistant District Attorney Her- ring accepted his plea of assault and battery, In con- sideration of the fact that the prisoner had already speak eleven months in prison the Court imposed the slight penalty of the payment of a fine of $30, which Godfrey paid at once, and left the court room a free man.

In the United States Supreme Court yesterday the following case was argued: No. 66, Ludwig et al. vs. Propeller Free State. Ap- peal from the Circuit Court for the £astern District of Michigan.—This was a libel to. recover from the propel- ler Free State, the property of the Western Transporta- tion Company, for damages to the ‘scow C. G, Meisel, the property ‘of the appellant, by collision in the De- troit River, in August, 1870, ‘The charge was that the propeller was running without prover lights; was not sufficiently manned, and failed in her duty in not keeping to the port side in passing and in not slacking when a collision was imminent. The auswer alleged want of- lookout on the scow; want of proper officers, and that she did not keep her course as she ought to have done, denying all the averments of the libel as tothe Free State. It was also averred that the propeller did reverse her en- gine when the scow changed Ifer course, and for the urpose of avoiding the collision, but that it was too hate The District Court found the scow at fault in not keeping her course and the propeller at fault m not slacking her speed, and in its decree divided the dam- ages. The Circuit Court reversed the decree as to the propeller and dismissed the libel. It is here contended that the Court erred in finding no fault on the part of the propeller as to the rate of speed and her fatling to slacken her speed, and that when the evidence is prop- erly weighed the decree will be reversed.
