8. THE COURTS. A Septungenarian Seeks Release from the Silken Bonds of Matrimony. The Monetary Solace Sought by the Prosecuted Wife. A’ $2,000,000 Estate and $30,000 Annual Alimony. The Park Avenue in Theatre Property Again Court. Rights of Evicted Parties Under Long Leases. The sult brought by Joseph Walker against his wife, Eliza Jane Walker, for divorce, on the ground of alleged adultery, has excited a good deal $f interest, from the fact that the plaintiff is aman of very large means, having made his fortune in a patent medicine, and from the fact that the allowance demanded by the wife, be- 4ng $30,000 a year for life, is larger than any alimony ever demanded in any prior divorce suit in this coun- try, such large sum being asked on the ground that she 4s a chronic invalid, A number of distinguished counsel is employed on both sides, Messrs, Kdwagd W. Mco- Adam and Anthony R Dyett representing the husband, ‘and Measrs, John B. rerry, Edward B. Cowles and ex- Judge Samucl Jones representing the wife, The papers are yery volumipous, consisting of ten aiidavits on the side of the husband, covering, with the complaint, over 100 pages of foolscap; twenty-five affidavits, on bebalf of the wife, covering with the answer, over 200 pages, closely written matter, to say nothing of the long briefs of the lawyers, that of Mr. Perry alone covering 140 Pages. The wife asks until the trial $15,000 a year temporary alimony, besides $3,300, to furnish a house and to buy » span of horses and carriage, and $5,000 counsel fee, After various adjournments the case camo on yesterday for argument ov the motion for alimony before Judge Robinson, holding Chambers of the Court of Common Pleas, Mr, Perry opened the argument in a speech of nearly two hours in length, confining himself, as be said, in his statement of the case for the wife, wholly to the allegations set forth in her answer and the accompa- nying affidavit, The suit, he stated, was begun on the 13th day of December last, the husband and wife then occupying the same house. Four days afterward he ordered ber out of the house. She resisted, and her waiting maid, cook and coachman took sides with her and also resisted the attempt to eject ber. The hus- band thereupon seized the coach and team, by Sherif’s officers, 1n a replevin suit brought by him against the coachman, transferred the title of the household prop- erty to his son, Gerry, and instructed Gerry to bring his family in and dispossess ber. All en deavors to restrain the husband in his course failed. On the 20th of December the husband still insisted that she must leave, and ordered her bedroom suit and trunks in the hallway, and she threupon left. Her waiting maid, co and Coachman went with ber. ‘The next day—she stopping at the St, Cloud Hotel over night—a suitable house was obtained for her until May, which house she has since occupied with her waiting maid and coo! This house, except the base- ment and her bedroom and the bedroom of her waiting | maid and cook, is wholly unfurnished. Since then her | bysician has attended her the same as before. She | been out on the road almost every day since, though since the 16th inst, confined to her bed by sick: | ness; she has impaired sight, chlorosis, hemorrhage | and chronic dyspepsia, and has for the lust five years | Deen confined to the house one-half the whole five | years by sickness, to the bed one-third the whole five | years by sickness, and in all about 100 days out of her | amind, wandering about the house in care of her physician | and lady attendants. These facts are affirmed by her | physician, by Walker's female relatives and by his Reighbors’ wives. Hep physician gives the amount of his bills averaging over $500 a year. Her druggist gives the amount of drugs taken by her averaging over $200 year. Her dry goods man gives the amount of hb Dill for her exclusive use for dress averaging $2,000 a year. Her child, a boy now twelve years of age, at | School in Jena, Germany, by her first husband, is being educated at &n expense of $750 ayear. Walker had allowed her up to shortly belore the commencement of the suit $50 a week purse money er actual present wants foot up $11,426 4 year, or $220 a week. She moved for temporary alimony upon the pleadings and bysician’s affidavit, she denying under oath the adal- ry charged against her. Thereupon Walker produced the affidavits of three servants of his belonging to | his step famiies by his second wile, two others of his servants, a colored waiter on Central avenue, and some stable boys to prove she was a debauchee and drunkard, and teigned sick- ness, and to show with bis affidavit that he was a poor man, going to ruin by reason of bis wile’s extrava. yee f that hie income for the last eighteen months had been only $13,000. In reply to these tresh accusations the wife produced twenty-five witnesses, several of whom were examined openly before the Clerk of the Court, appointed as referee to take their testimony. Waiker’s male and female relatives, his Dusiness connections, bis intimate confidential friends, his neighbors and their wives and his wile’s physician | all testified for the wife, showing that ber husband's income exceeded $100,000 a year, and that be squan- dered the whole of it; that his wife was a lady in every sense of the word; that her condition of healtn was Such that it was impossible to intoxicate her with Hiquor or wine, and as to whether her sickness was real Qs represented, the wile, her physician and counsel challenge Walker's side to call any of the leading physicians in New York to examine her, and atan early @tage mado such @ tender, not only in open court but ip writing, upon which servico. of ® copy was admi but which offer has not yet been accepted. wite’s answer is forty pages long.

THE PARK THEATRE PROPERTY. A twenty-one years’ lease of the ground on which the Park Theatre is built was taken some years ago by Mr, John Purssel from the New York Lafe Insurance Company. Mr. Purssel erected the theatre in Septem- ber, 1874. He was dispossessed for non-payment of the ground rent under the law of 1842, providing that in case of dispossession, if the unexpired term of the lease is over five years the one evicted may, within one year, obtain repossession by paying to the lessors all the rent in arrears and all the costs of dispossession. Mr. Purssel presented wp account to the insurance company showing, as he claimed, that the amoant for ronta they bad collected from his tenants who remained exceeded the sym he was in arrears, and upon this account he asked to be again given possession of the property. This the company refused to do, and he, therofore, brought suit asking an accounting by the company, the remainder of the property and payment to him of the excess of rents they had collected over the amount due by him, The case was tried before Judge Sanford, at Special Term of the Superior Court, ‘and he gave his decision yesterday. He decides that the dispossession annulled the lease; that Purasel be- came absolutely divested of the estate; that he is not entitled to have the premises restored until, in com- pliance with the statute, he bas tendered all the rent due, with costs, and that not until after such tender is there any equitable ground for asking tho insurance company to account to him: DECISIONS.

It seems to bq ‘a bad year for dog fighting. Eight persons engsged in this sort of canine pastime were last week sent to the Penitentiary by tne Recorder for periods ranging from thirty days to one year. Yester- day sixteen men, who were arrested while witnessing & fight between two bull dogs at Karl’s Park on January 81, were arraigned before His Honor, when eleven of them pleaded guilty to being spectators of the battle, but claimed that they took no part in arranging or promot- ing the fight. Five others pleaded not guilty, The case was then adjourned to Thursday nex THE PERILS OF THE SOUND. On board the steamer Rhode Island, coming from Fall River to this city, on the night of November 11, was Mr. W. H.

A colored waiter, named Robert H. Scott, was arrested on suspicion and part of the missing -property was found upon his person, Being arraigned before Recorder Hackett yesterday he stated that he found the goods under @ chair while everything was in confusion, and thinking them of Wttle value distributed them as presents among his friends, The jury found him guilty of grand larceny and he was sent to State Prison for three years.

The announcement in yesterday’s Henatp of the death of Judge Spaulding, of the Marine Court, took greatly by surprise hoth members of the Bench apa Bar, Very few knew of his iliness, aud every ope remem- bered him as when they last saw him afew days ago, @ perfect picture of robust health Tho sad intelligence came with a specially sudden shock upon his associate Justices of the Marine Court Judge McAdam, who was thrown into more intimate relations with the de- ceased than any of the other judges of tho Court, promptly took measures for decorating with appropriate mourning !nsignia the various rooms of the Court, in which preliminary tribute of respect he found # most energetic ally in Mr. Coughlin, the Chief Clerk, In all the branches of the Court yesterday the usual pro ceedings expressive of respect for the memory of the late Judge were had. The remarks of members tho Bar, im pPoposing and seconding the motions to ad- Journ, were ail highly eulogistic of the personal worth and judicial fairmess of the deceased Judge, an estimate of whose character the judges took occasion to fully concur in, Orders of adjournment, as a mark of re- spect to the memory of the deceased, were directed to be entered on the minutes of each Court, In Part 1, held by Judge Goepp, Judge Gross, In moving an adjournment, said:— If Your Honor please, the gad tidings have reached us of the demise of Pe and my late brother, Alexan- der Spaulding, one of the justices of this court. The truism, “In the midst of life we are in death,” cannot be more fully exezoplified in any case than in that of our late brother. 1t seems to me to be less than a week since when I saw him in perfect health, admired his strong physique, bis elegant appearance, and inwardly I congratulated him upon his excellent health. To-day heisno more He has from our midst My ‘Orst acquaintance with the deceased commenced some eighteen or twenty years ago while he was a practising attorney atthe bar of this city. In the year 1871 he was elected a justice of this court, aud from that time until the 1st of January we were co-! rs here, I have learned to esteem him as a man; | admired bis probity, He was cheerful at all times and willing and to work; no work too ariuous tor him. His loss will be generally and deeply felt, I move you, sir, that out of respect to the memory of the deceased, this Court do now adjourn for the term, Frederick A, Smytl im seconding the motion, said:—If Your Honor in rising to second the motion of Judge Gross, I desire to add my tribute of respect to the memory of Judge Spaulding. I had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with him for al- most twenty years. On more than one occasion I was ‘associated with bim in the trial of causes before he be- came a justice of this Court, I also had occasion to come tn contact with him while he held the position of Collector of Internal Revenue, and 1 can bear my test mony to big high integrity while he held that office. And’ while so many others were char; probably justly, with dishonesty in that office, the breath of Suspicion was never raised against him nor could it be raised against him, Since he becam justice of this Court im the course of my practice I have had frequent occasion to go before him and have ample oppor- tunity to observe bis character upon the bench and his conduct as a judge, and I can add, and I betieve I speak the septiments of ali my brethren who have practised m this court and tised before him, that be hechareee the oe of be ae that ae held with integrity and impartiality. 1 did not intend to say apy- thing on this occasion, but 1 felt that! ‘owed'it Y duty to the deceased Judge and a duty to myself to add my testimony now that be has de) trust, toa better sphere than he has occupied here.

Judge Alker’s pure and honorable service on the bench of the Marine Court antedated that of all his present associates, and naturally upon bim and his sympatbetic nature weighs the heavier these sudden ‘‘takings off” of younger judges, who have looked up to bim, and never in vain, lor counsel and support. Deep silence fell upon the crowded court room when Judge Alker took his seat The hitherto rather noisy assemblage felt rebuked in his presence for their previous seeming dis- regara of the emblems which testified that a Juage they had been wont to respect and hovor when on that Judgment seat had himself been called to a higher tri. bunal. Through an exhibition of very bad taste a case that had been opened and partly proceeded with on the previous Friday was prossed for continuance, counsel subsequently assuring the Court that his chent bad that course upon him in such a way that he could pot resist, though much opposed to it through his respect tor the dead, as well as the presiding J: ‘At the conclusion of the case in question ex-Judge Clark moved the adjournment of the Court in respect to the death of Judge Spaulding, prefacing bis motion with appropriate eulogistic remarks, The motion was seconded by Mr. A. J. McCarthy and supported by Mr. A. H. Reavey, who, as junior mem- bers of the Bar, practising in the Marine pvr paid eloquent tributes to those qualities in the late Judge that had endeared him specially to the younger class of practitioners, Judge Alker, in a voice tnaudible from emotion, said he was so impressed and felt so acutely the loss of a dear personai friend and ap upright and honorable | associate in the death of Judge Spaulding, that he was utterly unable to express bid feelings thereon at the present moment. At another ag when the Bench and Bar would unite in honoring the memory of the deceased Judge and testifying to his noble qualities of head and heart, he hoped he would be better prepared for the fulfilment of this sad daty, Judge Aiker then directed the Clerk of the Court to enter on the minutes of the Court its adjournment and the cause theretor. The Court then adjourned Part 3, presided over by Judge McAdam, a motion to adjourn was made by ex-Judge Pee oer a0. onded by Mr. William J. McGrath Bosh of these gen- tlemen made brief speeches expressive of their high d for the deceased. A most Lessig | and impres- sive eulogium was pronounced by Judge McAdam. He very high tribute to the eommenting paid not only upon hi ity asa lawyer and his purity as a judgo, but bis pre-eminent qualities ag a man in ail the varied relations ot life. Tn Chambers, held by Judge Sheridan, Mr. Samuel G. po gy moved to which motion was sec- on by Mr. Yard. The brief but feeling re- | marks of Judge Sheridan were listened to with most earnest attention and produced a profound impression. In Sapreme Court, it, Part 2, Judge ohue a, Mr, William Herring, Assistant District At. torney, rose and sat If Your Honor piease, amid the hurry and bustle of the business of the courts and the commanity, we ought this morning face wo face with the fact of the demise of a most res) member of the jydiciary of this city. We are inform: of the death of Judge pauls of Marine Court, a man in the meridian of life, who is cut down in the sphere of hig usefulness, 1 am permitted to rise before Your Honor and move, out of respect to the memory of the dead, that the Court do now ad- Journ. Judge Donohue—It is due both to the position and services of Judge Spaulding that the motion should be Llgrgien that this mark of respect should be paid. It ‘a little remarkable that while Judge Spaulding is taken in the prime of his life, almost at the same boar, bot.a day earlier, another, and the oldest member o! the Bar in the city, also a member of the Marine Court, should have also been removed by death, The Court will now stand adjourned until Wednesday morning at the usual hour. In Supreme Court Circuit, Part 3, Judge Larremore =F Counsellor Richardson moved the adjourn- ment He said this was no time to speak of Ju Spaulding’s merits, abilities or standing, but it w: proper that the Court should take some notice of his doath. In Judge Spaulding they lost afriend, a good lawyer and an upright map. He, therefore, moved that a =, minute of the adjournment be entered by the cler!

The funeral services yesterday were simple, though impressive’ Among those present was Mr. Charles O’Conor, who was at one time a student ta ‘the law office of Judge Herring The famous advocate, who seemed to Bave entirely recovered from his recent illness, in company wita the other visitors, viewed the remains of the deceased, which were svon to be confided to their last resting place.

OOO ROLE ODPL OL ELECT DIOL OF OTE ‘The pastor delivered an eloquent and pathetic dis- cour in which he alluded to the many noble virtues which marked the life of Judge Herring, whose term of existence had far exceeded the allotted span, and drew a lesson from the example of the deceased, who had made one of the ry # few links between the days of the Revolution and the present time. There were no pallbearers. After the services the remains were conveyed to Greenwood Cemetery for interment, FUNERAL OF REV. TIMOTHY O’FAR- RELL. Yesterday forenoon the funeral of the late Rev.

The ladies who are endeavoring to raise a sufficiently large amount of funds to erect a statue of Washington Irving in Central Park held a meeting in parlor No, 11 of the Windsor Hotel yesterday afternoon. The princi- pal business transacted was tn relation to a communica- tion from the Murray Hill Dramatic Association, which stated that the members of that organtzation were do- sirous of giving an entertainment at the Lexington Avenue Opera House for the benefit ef the fund It stipalated, however, that the fund society must guar antee the players $160 to cover the necessary expenses, and also that half of the seats in the house should be at the disposal of the members of the Murray Hill association on the the performance in question. It was decided motto accept the offer until an interview could be had with the gentlemen having the entertainment in charge. The meeting adjourned to meet on the 6th prox. at the same place, when all persons interested in the movement are earnestly invited to be present, ‘The original intention of the Irving Monument Funa Society was to place only a colossal bust of their favor- ite author in the P and the bust was begun by Mr. W.

The announcement that an arrangement had been completed between the New York and Boston Railroad and Colonel Scott, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, by which passenger cars will be run through from to Washington without change of cars was made some days ago The companies propose to make connection between the Pennsylvania Ratlroad depot and the Port Morris branch of the New York and New Haven Rail- road at Mott Haven, by ‘means of the steamer Mary- land, which is reported to be a very fast vessel, On the arrival of the express trains at Mot# Haven the sleeping coaches will be run upon the Maryland wo be transferred to the depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Jersey City. The railroad officiais interested claim | that this arrangeuient will enable gers between Boston and Wasbington to save from twenty minutes to balf ap bour, and thus avoid the annoyance of a transier in coaches across the island. Ail arrange- ments have been completed with a view of hav- | img the through cars ron on or before the lstoft M: It seems, however, that the rajiroad offi- cial have not calculated upon the opposition of the municipal authorities of this city, taking it tor granted that they cam make this detour of the without the consent of the city. Members of the Common Conneil claim that this rail- Toad movement, which is intended to be permanent, | will injure New York, and hence they are opposed to it. claim that under the ui charter (section 87) al) the waters surrounding the island of Manhattan to high water mark are vested in the city, and that the corporations interested will be compel! to secure a | ferry franchise before they can carry out the arrange- ment The first opposition te the movement exhibited itself on Thursday Jast, when the Board of Aldermen ons resolution calling upon Corporation Counsel tney for an opinion. It ts likely that the companies interested will be compeiled to pay a good round sum for the franchise before they carry the scheme to a suc- cessful issue. MISSED HIS MARK.
