How Judge Lawrence Cuts Pres Lawrence, indicted in the United States the “Gordian Knot.” THE $6,000 LACE DRESS IN COURT. Arraignment and Plea of Charles L. Lawrence. Ab the sitting of the Supreme Court, Circuit, Part 1, be- fore Judge Donohoe, yesterday, in pursuance of anotico previously served upon the District Attorney, Mr, Will- tam F. Kintzing and John 0. Mott, ip venalf of the pegrocs, William Ellis, Charles Weston and William Thompson,'now under senvence of death for the murder of Abraham Weiburg, in September last, in Lydig’s Woods, and whose execution ts fixed for the 17th inst, made application fora writ of error aud stay of pro- ceedings, in order to remove the case into the Court of Appeals for fnal review. Foltowing the trial, as will be remembered, application was made to the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Barrett, in which Court the prisoners were tried, for a writ of error, which was retused. Subsequently application was made to Judge Davis, at Chambers of Supreme Court, by whom a writ of error was allowed; and as the General Term of the Supreme Court was ‘Then in Session the writ was made returnable forth- with, before a full Bench, Judges Davis, Brady and Daniels being on the bench. Messrs. Kintzing and Mout argued accordingly at once the appeal on bebalf of the condemned, asking for the reversal of the judgment ‘of the Court of Oyer and Terminer in consequence of certain alleged errors occurring upon the trial, Dis- trict Attorney Phelps and Assistant District Attorney Rollins, who appeared tor the people, arguing against the granting of 4 new trial. After a careful considera tion of the points raised in the cage the Court refused to grant a new trial, and affirmed the judgmeat of the Court below, Judges Davis and Brady delivering the opinions of the Cour 1t was from this affirmation of Judgment thas counsel sought yesterday to remove the case to the Court of Appeals, and, pending the decision of which Court a stay of proceedings was asked. Beiore Judge Donohue called the civil calendar of the Court, to see what cases were ready for | tral, Messrs. Kingzing and Mott asked the attention of the Court to their motion, notice of which had been served upon the District Attorney. Judge Donohue promptly suspended the calling of the calendar, and said that he would at once bear counsel upon their ap- plication. Counsel for the prisoners then proceeded to present che grounds upon which based their pres- eptapplication. It was contended Judge Barrett had erred tp his rulings upon the trial, first, in over- ruling the special plea interposed challenging the array ‘of petit jurors, the same having been drawn by Thomas Dunlap ‘instead of by Douglas Taylor, the Commis- sioner of Jurors, the removal of Douglas Taylor being clasmed as illegal; second, that it was error to refuse upon application Of prisoners to appoint triers upon a challenge to favor, and, third, that the Court “acquired no’ jurisdiction ‘to try the $ndictment, the same having been — found in the Court of General Sessions and transferred to the Court of Oyer aud Terminer in opposition to the wishes ‘of the prisoners, in the transferring of which indictment ‘they lost certain privileges which they would otherwise have acquired had they been tried in the Court of Gen- eral Sessions, Counsel presented substantially the same arguments upon these points as they did at Gen- eral Term. They claimed that in a case of this im- portance, where the lives of three human beings wero at stake, it gught to be reviewed by the Court of Ap- peals before they were executed and that the points taken were not frivolous, but of importance. Assistant District Attorney Bell replied upon bebalf of the People, strenuously opposing the allowance of ‘the writ e contended that the prisoners had been Jairly tried and certainly ably defended, There was no defence upon the merits The murder was an atrocious one, Of the guilt of the prisoners there could be no doubt, as they each openly ‘confessed i, The points presented for the application were purely technical, and however erroneous may hhave been the rulings of the Court it could not have in any Way prejudiced the prisoners. The jury was com- posed of men of their own seloction, and the verdict Feadered was the ouly one the facts would warrant He said, further, that four judges bad already examined 4nto the poimts, and found none of them tenable; and not only that, but the prisoners bad had the benefit of & review of their case by the Supreme Court at General ‘Term, and Judges Davis and Brady, who delivered the ‘pinion of the Court, bad examined into all the points ‘auc decided adversely to the prisonera, There was, he insisted, no error committed apon the trial, yor he | thought the points raised by prisoners’ counsel were ‘not Of such a character as would justify this Court in Donobue took some two or throe hours to ex- famine the points raised and authorities cited in favor of the prisoners. He finally rendered adecision deny- ing the application. The grounds of his decision were ‘that there was no claim that the prisoners had not a fair trial, and he could not see that any error had been committed by the Court; and further, that the whole case had already been reviewed by the General Term. The shove application will, in all probability, ter. minate the efforts of Messrs, Kintzing and Mott i save trom the gallows their unlortunate clients, for whom it certainly must be said they have exbausted every possible hope of staying the dreadful sentence passed upon them. As the case now looks the law must take 44s course, and the unhappy criminals on Friday next ‘expiate their atrocious crime on the gailowa INTERESTING TO MERCHANTS. Im September, 1871, Tapley H. Ward, a resident of Georgia, was introduced by David H. Ross to Jobn J. | Johnston, of the frm of J. J. Johnston & Co, Mr. Ward made a statement of his assets and liabilities to John- ston, showing @ net surplus in his favor of $33,300. Bubsequently Ward and Hoes, under the name of T. H. ‘Ward & Co., entered into partnership, doing business in Eatonton and Monticello, in Georgia, Relying upon the statement made by Ward as to his pecuniary condi- tion, the firms of Johnston & Co. and Cochran, Me- Lean & Co. sold goods on credit to T. H. Ward & Co. Jobnston learned later that the statement made to him ‘by Ward was untrue, and in behalf of his own firm @nd that of Cochran, Mclean & Co, he went to Eatonton, saw Ward, and charged him with musrepresentation. After some negotiations Ward | sold and assigned to Johnston all his interest in the stocks of goods in the stores at Eatonton and Monti- cello, subject, however, to a debt of $734 8% owing to Johnston & 'Co., and’ $3,845 21 owing to Cochran, McLean & Co. Johnston sold the stocks of goods. tor gvout $9,000, which was alieged to be their full value. The liens and charges for which the firms named be. | came liabie, including their own claims, amounted to nearly $3, During 1873 various judgments were docketed wm this city against Ward & Co, and under these proceedings Grandison ¥.’ Reid wae appointed receiver, and, aa such ro ceiver, commenced an action to bave the sais | + aside on tbe ground of conspiracy and fraud, aud iso to recover $15,000, the value of the goods. The case came on tor trial, before Judge Larremore, In the Court of Common Pieas, Equity Term. Judge Larre- more yesterday gave bis decision in the case, embody~ ing tue same i a lengthy and carefully written opinion, Judge Larremere first discusses the question as to the rights of the plaintiff to maintain the action, which right waa based ypou the fact that the firm of T. H. Ward & Co. was in existence as the time the assignment was mada Upom the affirma- tive of this imsue was tho evidence of Ward, who testitied that when he made the sale Ross was suill hie partner. In opposition to this is uncontradicted testimony of the publication in a news- | paper of « dissolution of the firm prior to the date men- tioned. Judge Larremgre olds that Ward’s atvempted explanation was very anaatisfactory, so much 60 as to seriously impair his rredibility; that on she negative of this issue the testimony 18 direct and conclusive, uich showed Vast Rosa had been in the employ of Jouusion’@ frm, and Jef it to form the part Gerthip referred to.

CARRYING THE CROTON INTO WESTCHESTER— DESCRIPTION OF WORK IN PROGRESS OR CON~ TEMPLATED. An adjourned meeting of the Aldermen took place yesterday afternon, President Lewis in the chair. On motion of Aldermnan Blessing the Corporation Counsel was asked to give his opinion as to whether the sunken meadows off Randall’s Island, which it 1 pro- posed to fill in with ashes collected by the Street Clean- ing Bureau, are the property of the city or private parties, ‘The Mayor sent a communication, declining to grant the use of the rooms of the Board of Aldermen to tho Board of Trade, ‘The following letter, transmitted by Commissioner Porter, was read and ordered printed. It is in response to acommunication asking for information :— Derartwsnt or Punic Works, bY ENGINKER’S OFFICE. Crry Haut, Dec. 13, 1875. Frra Jonny Porter, Esq, Commissioner of Public Works :— Sin—With this please find map of that part of the ‘Twenty-third ward which covers what was Morrisania, On this is marked the Croton mains now laid in the annexed district, They are shown by full lines in red and blue, The red lines indicate ton mains of twelve inches diameter; the blue lines indicate pipes of six inches diameter; the dotted red and bive lines in- dicate proposed lines of pipes. Tcannot give a map showing the Twenty-fourth ward, as the Park Department has not yet decided on the streets. Chapter $29, section 4, of the Laws of 1874, authorized this department to’ lay one Croton water main through and slong Third avenue, from the Harlem River to Fordam station. Under this law & pipe was laid across the Harlem River and extended up Third avenue to near the crossing of Mill Brook. At this point the grade of the avenue was being changed ‘and raised, so that the pipe could uot be continued. It 1s proposed to carry a main across and through 188th street, from Third avenue to Port Morris, in ac- accordance with the resolution of the Common Council of the 26th of July, and to extend ao pipe up through St. Ann’s aven to tho Third avenue, and then through Third avenue to Fordham, in accordance with the law of 1874. It is also proposed to lay a main across 144th street to Mott avenue, and thence north and south in this avenue; also a twelve-inch in in College avenue, between Willis and College avenues, ‘The streets are well built upon. The rule adopted by this departinent is to lay Croton mains only in: streets where the revenue from the water will pay interest on the cost of the pipes and putting them down, and this ig not deviated from except where \t may be necessary to give proper circulation to the water. It ww difficult to say what will be the cost of la mains in this district, a8 the cost varies with the char- acter of the excavation, whether of earth or rock, The cost of a twelye-inch main, including stopcocks and hydrants, will average about $6 per lineal loot, and of a six-inch main, $2 60. These prices will, however, as 1 before stated, vary with the character of the excava- tion, Streets in which it is proposed to now lay Croton mains :— One Hundred and Thirty-cighth street, between Col- lege avenue and Southern Boulevard—twelve-inch pipe. Alexander avenue, between 134th street and Third avenue—twelve-inch pipe, Willis avenue, between 134th etreet and Third ave- nue—twelve-inch pipe. St Ann’s and Third avenues, between 138th street and Fordham station—twelve-inch pipe. nue, between 138th street and Harlem jroad—twelve-inch pipe. One Hundred and Forty-fourth street, between Third and Mott ayenues—six-inch pipe. Mott avenuc, between 133th and 150th stroets—six- inch pipe. One Hundred and Forty-seventh street to 139th street, between Willis and Third avenues—six-inch pipe. One Hundred and Thirty-fourth and 135th streets, between Lincoln avenue and Brown place—six-inch i = ‘One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, between Southern Boulevard and Port Morris—six-inch pipe. and Thirty-ninth street, between Third College avenue—six-ineh pi ‘eet, between Third ave- ch pipe. Westchester avenue, between Brook avenne and 156th street—six-inch pipe. It is not contemplated at present to expend more than $200,000 in one year in the laying of pipes in this district. The present supply wil be from the south side of Harlem River. It isin contemplation to con- struct a reservoir near Fordbam station, with which these mains will be connected; but detailed pians have not been prepared, as, in case another aqueduct should be built, the surveys for which are now being made, a reservoir would be built near Jerome Park, in conneo- tion with the new aqueduct, and from which the an- nexed district would be supplied by connecting with the mains in that district, Very respectfully, yours, no pie JOHN C. CAMPBELL, Chief Engineer Croton Aqueduct ‘The Board adjourned until Thursday next Is If A JOB? 1t will be remembered that two weeks ago an appli-, cation was made by the Police Commissioners to the Aldermen to authorize the filling in of the sunken meadows off Randall’s Island, which Mr. Disbecker claimed belonged to the city. Tho preamble and reso- jution of she Board which they asked the Aldermen to adopt is as follows:— Whereas by the provisions of the statutes concerning mreet cleaning (chapter 677 of the Laws of 1872), the Hoard of Police is required to cause the streets of the city to be thoroughly cleaned and kept clean, and to remove ly, all the materials gathered in the pro- He except such part of ws in the dof Henith may be suitable to Oli low ‘and sunken lots; aud whereas there is no point adjacent wo cens of street cl | tho city of New York, and outside thereof, either on land or water, where the materials in question can be placed with- out trespassing upon the independent jurisdiction of State o sey. Staven Island, Long Island, Westeh ter county or the State of Connecticut, to conform to tho mandate of the law requiring the material to be removed daily out of the city, the Board of Police have been com- | led during the simmer to waste the material in A oowan outside of Coney Island at groat ex. pei treasury of the city. Keven this method will not be practicable during the winter season, d ice will render the towing of scows out to nd whereas lying near to and southeast of ‘au extensive area called "Sonken Mendow,” which is now valueless, the Board of Police is informed that this aren could be reclaimed and utilized by depositing thereon the street cleaning materials, If raised above high ould add to the freehold e of the city an of valuable land equal to about one-half the present extent of Randall's Island With the the Board of Health this arrai Board of Police facilities for the cleaning materials during the winter, shout business of street cleaning can only be done at gri risk; therefore Kesolved, ‘That the Honorable Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the city of New York be and are hereby re- uly requested to take such measures and ae shall seem to be appropri and effective to enable the Board of Police (with the approval of the Board of f to bring into use for the Purpose above mentioned, and to reclaim and fill up she area of land under water adjacent to Randall's Island, known as“Sanken Meadow.” ‘Adopted by the Board of Police December 2, 187 Alderman ‘arty opposed its adoption, and it proval of ement would afford to the wiul disposition of street ich the cost and was referred to the Committee on Roads, of which he | 1t will be seen that in the proceedings of | is chairman. the Board of Aldermen yesterday the Corporation Counsel is asked to give bis opinion as to whether the meadows are the property of the city or private indi- viduals, Major Tuomey, Clerk of the Board of Alder- men, states that the meadows are the property of Walter R, Jones and others, of Cold Harbor, L. L, and that Warden Stephens, of the Child’s Nursery, on Randall's Island, has searched the titie. Several of the Aldermen think that itis a job to reclaim 175 acres of useless land for the benefit of the owners, and it is esti- mated that the property would increase 'in value fully $350,000 or $400,000 by such filling in. The appearance in the Board of Aldermen on the day {t was introduced of Commissioner Disvecker and Captain Sumner, of the Street Cleaning Bureau, in the interest of the move- ment, gives rise to suspicion; and since thon somo of the Aldermen have been investigating the matter, and find, they report, that the sunken meadows do nob be- long to the city. |W y are willing that Mr. Dis- becker may secure a dumping ground for the str refuse they claim that the owners of Sunken Meadow should pay for every cubic foot of ashes dumped there. Amor howe Aldermen who thus view the question are Mossra, McCarty, Blessing and Rile: EDUCATION AL STATISTICS.

BROOKLYN CITY GOVERNMENT. THE RESERVOIR JOB LAID OVER—LEGALITY OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS— WILL OIL SUPER- SEDE GAS FOR STREET LIGHTING? ‘There was a regular session of thie Brooklyn Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon, President Bergen in the chair. The Railroad Committee reported tm favor of allow- ‘mg @ steam railroad to be constructed across First street, to accommodate Havermeyers & Elder, sugar refiners, The desired permission was granted with the stipulatign that the city can at any time revoke the grant, An effort was made to secure the appointment of an additional clerk for Justice Semier’s Court, at a salary of $1,500, 1 was stated by the Chairman of the Com- mittee on Salaries that there is no money in the treasury applicable to such a pury and therefore to yote for such @ measure would be a misdemeanor The effort to appoint fell through. A long report, the substance of which has been pub- shed heretofore, was read trom the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Law, Water and Drainage, on tho storage reservoir, at Hempstead, The committee left the disposition of the question as to whether the work pm viehinen to the Board of Aldermen, but recom- me! that it be laid on the table. The report was laid on the table, From the same committee a bill for $500, for professional services of Walliam M. was ved tn connection with the reservoir contrac! ‘business, A Dill for $1,500 from A. W. Craven, and another from General Ward B, Burnett, engineers, who finn the reservoir for the committe, were also presen’ ‘The Corporation Counsel was instructed to examme the act of the last Legislature allowing Tigh A owners on Fourth place to build out on the thirty-three foot courtyard, and If he shonld find the act unconstitu- tional to pronibit such building. ‘he Committee on Gas and Lamps were instructed to make an investigation and ascertain without unneces- sary 7 ther some other method cannot be adopted for lighting the city than that which is now in vogue, or whether the city could be lighted as well by oil as with gas, The present cost of street lighting is 000 per annum. An opinion of the Corporation Counsel was read touching the validity of the amendment of the Brook- lyn charter which provides tor the election of members of the Boards of Aldermen and Supervisors. That official says that there is nothing in the act in question that in any way affects the tenure of office of the mem- bers of the present Board of Aldermen. The Aldermen elect will, on January 1, lawfully enter upon tho dis- charge of their duties as Aldermen. Thero is no law which will permit the present members of the of Aldermen to hold over as Aldermen, The Cot on Counsel refrains from discussing the validity of the act which provides for the election of members of the Board of Supervisors, on the ground that that body Doing a branch of the county government the question of the legal qualifications of its members ought to be || primarily considered by the county authorities, The Board adjourned to meet on Wednesday after- noon, when action will be taken with reference to the vacancy in the Presidency of the Board of City Works.

Not only did he instruct wisely in all matters appertaining to the rod and gun, but there was a cbarm in his style and ap enthusiasm apparent in all he wrote that in- fected his readers with the same love of the chase he felt himself, His sad and romantic death added to the interest of his works, and now it seems that friendsbip, although tardy in its offerings, is about to embalm his memory in enduring marble, or otherwise preservo his name to all lovers of manly exercises.
