THE COURTS. Equities in a Foreclosure Sale Result- ing in a Deficiency. THE GREAT RAILROAD BOND FORGERY SUIT. Power of the Ccmptroller of the Curreney to Assess National Banks, In asuit brought by the Equitable Life Assurance Soctety of the United States against Phebe Stevens aod Ledyard Stevens, executrix and executor, Alexander H. Stevens, defendants’ testator, made # bond and mortgage to the plaintiff to secure $35,000. An action ‘was brought by the plaintiff on the 11th of October, 1873, to foreclose the mortgage and a decree pro con- fesso was cntered January 2%, 1874, The premises were sold in pursuance of the decree February 28, 1874, which sale resulted im a deficiency of $2,557 15. The costs and allowances of the uncontested foreclosure amounted to over $850. No judgment for defictency was asked for or obtained, aud Mr. Waddington, the attorney for plaintiff! im charge of tho foreclosure, distinctly stated before judgment that no judg- ment for deficiency was sought for. The premises were purchased by the plaintiff at the foreclosure eale without any contest The foreclosure and sale were at a poriod of public deprea ston caused by a pecuntary panio and the property was bought in by the plaintiff a& @ sum for less than its value, Seven months after the plaintiff bought in the Premises the same was sold for an amount largely ex- ceeding the debt, expenses and costa, The plaintif then commenced an, action against the defendants for the deficiency, and on motion of tho defendants the summons and complaint were set aside and dismissed by Judyo Loew, of the Court of Common Pleas, The plainuft made an application for leave to sue, which order was granted by Chief Justice Daly on the sole ground, stated in the order granting leave to sue, that ‘the Court had no. power or authority to deny the same, An appeal was taken from that order to the Court of Appeals. ‘On behalf of the appeal it was urged by Mr. G. W. Van-Slyck that the order was appealabie, that the order of the Special Term was har, gee based upon the alleged want of power in the Court to deny the plaintiff's motion, that Judge Daly’s decision proceeded entirely upon the ground that the plainuif had a strict (egal right to sue for the deficiency, whatever might be thought of their bringing the action under the circum- stances, and that this was the language not merely of a judge who was not allowed to exercise any discrotion but of one who thought he was restrained by the law from refusing the reliet sought. It was turther urged that this power of the Court can only be exercised when no judg- tent for the deficiency is asked for in the complaint, What ifs creditor voluntarily abandons his right to such ‘a judgment, and elects to rely upon bis mortgage rather ‘an to sue on the bond or to ask for judgment of de- ‘ciency, he cannot complain that the Court should ‘then ‘have the authority to determine whether he is entitled to any further remedy, and that the authority can only vest after the neglect of the rereditor to avail himself of the benefit of the statute, and then only when it would be unjust to permit tho verediter to proceed. The construction of the statute contended for by the defendants would net render the statute unconstitutional, Had the statate taken away all action on the bond it would have been unconstitu- tional. The creditcr, however, is entirely free to com- mence an action on the bond before he élects to pro- ‘ceed in equity, By this proceeding in equity he waives all night to p at law. Tho plaintiff in this case selected its own forum ai Wailed itself of the other provisions of the statute, and therefore cannot object to its unconstitutional The other points raised were that there is po cause of action against the defendants for the alleged deficiency; that the cases also hold that if the value of the property purchased in by the mortgagee 18 equal to the debt an action will not Ne on the bond; that the plaintiffs own ‘cts contributed largely to the deficiency; that the order giving leave to sue was granted on the ground that the plaintif hada strict legal right to sue, and therefore the consent of the Court was unnecessary, and that noact on the part of the defendants in the foreclosure proceeding prevented the plaintiff asking for a jndgment of deficiency. But these various points were strongly combated by the opposing counsel A de- xision has just been given, Judge Rapallo writing the ppinion sustaining the argument of Mr. Van Slyck. The Court holds that the Court below should have en- lertained the application and considered and passed tpon the equities and merits of the case, and that the resent order should be reversed and the case re- anded for rehearing at Special Term. CHE GREAT BOND FORGERY SUIT. This action has beon on before Judge Spier anda jury the past week and occupied the entire attention of the Court. The interests involved aro of so much mo- mont that it requires the careful examination of both Court and jury. It 18 similar in all the salient points to the trial heretofore between tho National Trum Company of the city of New York and defendants in this action, which was decided ws the Special Term of this Court by @ verdict for the plaintiffs in the sum of $35,000, The present action is for $35,000. During the past week the counsel for the plaintiff have most carefully examined their witnesses and brought to light what they claim to be the case against the defendanta. In this particular special reference is made to the exami- uation by Mr. William Wirt Hewitt, of counsel for the laintiff, of Mr, Tho: residing in Fourteenth street, fin whom one of the defendants, Walter E. Sheridan, alias Ralston, alias Stewart, resided, he being, aa iwerred, the one who obtained‘the money from the lainti’ by which the intumacy existing between Reridan, or Ralston, and Gleason Waa tetablished, Other points of interest were leveloped during the week, and especially the testi- nony of Spence Pettis, one of the principal witnesses jor the plaintiff, showing the conspiracy to forge rail- toad bonds of many denominations. No effort has yeen made on the part of the piaintif to corroborate Lis testimony, as weil as that of Olmstead, the engravor who made the seals, as a alleged by the plains, for dhe defendant Mrs. Pettis’ testimony, wife of Spence Pettis, ts clear and uncontradicted, notwithstanding the severe cross-examipation of Messrs, Purdy and Shafer. Tho case will probably occupy a week or two more, tho laintif not yet having rested. This action 3 of great portance to the monetary and commercial interest of this county and city, and excites, in consequence, urge attention. The plaintiff is represented by Mr. William Wirt Hewitt, Algernon 8. Sullivan and Richard ©. Elliott, and the defence by ex-United States District Attorney Purdy and IraShafer, Every inch of ground is being fought by the defendants as the testimony is produced, ASSESSMENTS OF NATIONAL BANKS. The power of the Comptroller of the Currency of the Cuited States in the matter of assessments to be made pon the stockholders of tnsolvent national banks tame up yesterday before Judge Blatchford, in the United States District Court. It was in the matter of one of the national banks of this city, now in bankruptcy, and against the stockholders of which the Comptrolicr has levied an assess- ment of 100 per cent upon the full amount of stock. A demurrer was filed against the declaration of the rgceiver, Charles K Strong, Ke Uharies Tracy, on behalf of bimeelf, R. C, Root and @. P. Nelson et ai., denying the right of the Comptroller jo make such an assessment, claiming that in so doing be assumed the functions of the courts, Judge Blatch- ford said this right bad been sustained by the Supre: Dourt of the United States, and, aside from the fact that Mr, Tracy claimed this ‘decision to bo an obiter dictum, he bad himself so decided. At Mr Tracy's re- quest Judge Blatchford took the papers in the case, but ald be ebould overrule the demurrer, DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. By Judge Donohue, Paine va.

Said Mr. Cochrane Jn conclusion, “I went to the Mayor about tt and be dia not have a copy of the ordinances; im my opinion they ‘are all a clique of bad men.” Thomas Silis, of No 29 Vestry street, formerly # laborer on the Boulevard, was then called as a witness, He bad worked under a foreman named Corkey, who used to get drunk so often thas some other man waa generally in hfs place; Corkey used to be taken home on @ truck; there were thirty-five rockmen em- ployed at $1 84a day, but the greater portion of these tis, $1 60 a day m ‘As no other witnosses were present the committes adjourned till Tuesday, at balt-past ten A. M CHARITY COMMISSIONERS CATECHISED. Before the Assembly Committee on Crime yesterday Martin Moffat admitted that he was proprietor of the. house No, 144 Wooster street; that he did not know tt was a disreputable house, and does not know who the, tenantis, Private Detective Biifl testified that it Is @ house of ill fame; that he and Detective Martinott had - Deen solicited from the windows, and reported the plac ‘to last witness six weeks ago as one of bad character, Commissioner Thomas 8, Brennan testified that there*| were seven keepers and 1,000 inmates at the Work- house; occupants are trapsferred to other Institutions. to work, and thus they escape, as they have no keepers: over them; there are, with those detached, about 2,000 on the books of the Workhouse; there ought to be two more keepers there; he thought they had enough keep- era inthe other institutions; they have recentty de- cided not to detail long term men at other apres pa | but to keep them tn the prison proper; the tmposing 0 ‘fine ig an additional punishment of a’ prisoner; he had never asked for the discharge of a Penitentiary the Workhouse people; he thought tho class of prisoners known as “revolvers” should be made to work; the law prevents the Commissioners from working prisoners beyond making improvements; he thought the contract system: might be introduced to make persons pay for their sup- port, now defrayed by the State; he thought it wrong to send old habitués of the Island back again on short terms; they ought to be sent for longer terms; the Commissioners had power to adopt ehildren out and had done so; he would feel safer if the guardboats were rowed by sailors instead of prisoners; for in the event of escapes they would aid the guards; the Commis- sioners had separated the old and young offenders in both prisons on the Island; they required A NEW PENITENTIARY for fomales, to properly separato offenders of opposite Commissioner Stiner, of the Excise Board, was re- called to explain certatn points in his testimony, but the evidence ts not of general importance. President Bailey, of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, testified that the restriction which pre- vents convicts from betng employed in mechanical labor should be removed; the result, he said, is to prevent us from eontracting the labor of convicts, thus having their labor coming in competition with skilled labor; they would, he believed, be greatly Improved by labor; if the right to select persons of unquestionable capacity wae given the Commissioners and power to contract for the labor he had no doubt tho Penitentiary would ‘sane could be profitably employed; the Commission- ers have power after January to transfer persons be- tween Ove and sixteen years of age to other institutions or to families; witness confirmed his associate (Mr. Brennan) as to the separation of prisoners of differest grades of crime; Mr. Brennan has the outdoor basi- ness, Mr. Cox aitends to the city prisons; witness, necessarily, attends to the office business; they have found that RSCAPES YROM THR WORKHOUSE are frequent ;as soon as they found the horse was gone they put on @ pretty strong lock; oth 3 he thought, would reduce the number of escapes; he thought it necessary to have more keepers; it Is impossible to prevent virtuous women from being bronght in contact with abandoned ones in the prisons and Workhouse; tem, To Mr. Cooper—The Penitentiary 1s not what {t ought to bo; nothing can be done except to rebuild ft, and that Would be difficult; it is inadequate for the accom- modation; a new prison could be built by convicts; tho female prisoners (about 140) all sleep in one room; it would be a good plan to build a Penitentiary exclusively for females; the Tombs 1s obviously inadequate for the accommodation of the classes who enter it; there may be prisoners confined tu the Penitentiary under sixteen years; they should be sent to the House of Refuga aan committee adjourned ontil Wednesday at eleven RESCUED FROM. TORTURE, A JUVENILE ACROBAT TAKEN FROM A BRUTE AND RESTORED TO HIS MOTHER. Peter Tabbert, his wife and six chilaren have lived during the last four years at No. 166 East Twenty-sixth | street, Tho family came from England in the spring of 1871, and, although the parents were industrious and frugal, they found it a difficult matter to provide for their little ones, Among the children was a remark- ably bright, intelligent and active boy, seven years of age, named Albert, who evinced a remarkable fondness for feats of strength and daring. The house where the Hippodrome, and thither little Albert usod frequently to go, his precosity invariably gaining for him admit tance, Among other gymnasts there at the Hippodrome was William M, Pillars, who performed under the namo of Millison. This man took @ great fancy to Albert, for he thought he saw in him the germs of « fature Leotard, and, having a keen eye to business, at once set about gaining the boy’s confidence by means of numerous presents, interspersed now and then with acts of personal kindness and attention. Of course his task was not a laborious one, for Albert was ever fond ol anything circus, Upon inquiry Millison ascer- tained that tho parents of the child were tn needy cireumstances, and, taking advantage of this, proposed to thom that he should be allowed to take the little one and make an acrobat and trapeze pertormer of him, The parents at first revolted at the bare idea of such a thing, but finally their poverty and the little fellow’s fondness for Millison, who promised to be a father to | him and to take every care of htm that a parent could, triumphed, and {t was agreed that the child should be bound to Millison for # period of ten years In acc ance with this decision the following document was | @raw' | ROUND ovr.

M PILLARS. Josuru Strven, Notary Public, New York city. Two weeks after the child had been bound to Milll- ton the Hippodrome company lef} New York end started on an extended tour through the Westerm States and Canada, and Mra, Tabbert, with many mis- | ope and an aching heart, saw ber boy depart with ig master. After they had been gone several weeks the anhappy mother heard that ber son was oot being treated as be should ba She at once wrote to Millison, but failed to get a roply, A few days later one of tho attachés of the Hippodrome Company returned to New York, and on meeting Mrs Tabbert coufirmed the story of Ill treatmenk The next day litle “AM Right,” who bad met Albert and his master on their travels, called oa the child’s mother and stated that Millison was im the habit of beating bis infant ward most unmerci fully because he was afraid to go through she various performances on the trapeze and. bars, and that he was at last accouns all BLACK AND BLUR down one side and on his legs.” ‘As might be expected, the already anxious parents were now pearly crazed’ by grief, und lost no time in redoubling their effurts to open communication with the brute who was thus maltreating their offspring. Finally, to one of their many letters, came the fuliow- ing trom Millison:— Hovv’s Horst, Wrvona, Minn., August 20, 1875. Duar Sin—I havo tried over and over again to learn your son, but find it impossible. He has such @ stub- born disposition that ho tries only what he likes, and [ bave to whip him continually.. Im fact, every thing be has learnt bas been into him, and I am now tired of beating him} I find it impossible to get the stubbornness out of him. So, thinking you would not liko a stranger to whip oF correct him, I have deciaed to send bim home from Milwaukee, where we will arrive August 27, WILLIAM MILLISON, To this letter the mother promptly replied, statin, that sho wanted the child back, and that 6 hoped he (Millison) would do as he said, and send bim home from Milwaukee, In ao letter, daied September 12, Milligon say! “IL bave concluded not to let Albert go yet I did not say that he did not learn, but that when he got stub- bore I could not do anything with bim. 1 bh: bad btm upon the trapeze aud he does well, but it is a littio too high for a begimner. He likes {t better than any- thing else.” This letter was anything but reassuring to the heart broken mother, and failed utterly so quell her longing to get her boy once again beneath her protecting arm, She wrote again and then came a letter saying:—'The doy is not earning his bread, and if you want him vack you had better take him before I havo spent any more money on him and learnt him so that he is of some use ‘to me, for I will not give him up then.” On getting this letter, Mrs. Tabbart saw {n the Hrrato fn account of the fall of an {ufant trapeze performer in the Theatre Comiquo, Cleveland, om the night of November 24, and not knowing the name under which her boy was performing, but being assured that Millison and his partner Lazelle were tn Cleveland, thought tt waa littie Albert, In despair she went to the Society E. Fellows Jenkins, at once took hold of the matter. His first act was to telegraph to (he Chief ef Police of Cleveland to ascertain whether or not the boy who re- ceived the fall was Albert Tabbar. The answer camo that he was not; that bis name was Jobany Murray, Mr. Jenkins next wrote to the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals, at Cincinnatt, and asked their aid in rescuing Albert He also wrote tho Sheriffs of many of the counties on the route taken by Millison. In a few days he received a telegram from Cincinnatt stating that the bey had been found at Bellevue, Ken- tucy, Just across the river {rom Cinctnnatl, Mr. Joseph L. Sinith, an agent of the Cincinnati Society, was en- trusted with working up the case, and on bis going to Millison, who was living thore under his proper name, ‘and who had seen several paragraphs im tho newspapers in regard to himself and his conduct toward the young acrobat, found that he was thoroughly frightened and ready at once to surrender the child. “Don't serve any papers, any summons or requist- tion on me, for Gud’s sake,” he said; “you can havo the bg Mr. ith took the little felow, and at once started for New York, arriving here rsamegg 4 morning and delivering his charge to Mr. Jenkina. The mother was sent for, and her meeting with the long lostand brutally treated child was extremely affecting. The boy looks pale and emaciated and gays he was whipped within an inch of his life because he could not do what his in- human master required of him. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, MARRIED.
