THE COURTS. Pursuing the Ring Inquisition in the Tweed $6,000,000 Su't. Governor Tilden Steps Down and Out. Important Decision in Com- position Proceedings. INTERESTING BANKRUPTCY DECISION. Austin Black's Defence to the Charge of Subornation of Perjury. After an examination lasting through three days, Governor Tilden yesterday completed his testimony in the Tweed $6,000,000 suit, on trial before Judge West- brook, A much larger crowd thronged the court room than on any previous occasion. Many came, doubtless, ‘expecting to see the Governor squirm and sweat under the rigid cross-oxamination of the great legal inquist- tor, David Dudley Field. In main, however, the Gov- ernor, though weakened considerably at times, passed through the ordeal with a credit that will not very greatly impair his gubernatorial reputation. The fol- lowing embraces the essential points of the further cross-examination :— Q. Do you remembor a negotiation with Mr. Con- nolly to induce him to resign and appoint Mr. Green? A. Iremember the nogotiation ; I helped to procure the appointment of Mr. Green, Witness went on to say that the arrangement was made &t his houso; a fow days before the negotiation Mr. Connolly came to his nouse in great apparent anxiety, Q@ Is that part ot what was done? A. I think It is, (Laughter,) Governor Tilden then went on with his story. He ‘said a few days after he came to his house in the morn- ing with Mr. William A, Beach and Mr. Courtenay, his counsel ; he came down again in the afternoon and ex- ecuted an agreement to resign his office, and Mr, Green being there at the time and highly recommended % him asa man of integrity, he was appointed to his Place and entered upon the duties of the office on the same day, Q. Was there any attempt ever made by the State authorities to punish and expose the alleged bribery of the Legislature in 1870? A. None, on account of the impossibility of getting proof, @ I did not ask you about the possibility of proof, sir; did you attempt to expose the bribery of the Legis- Jature in 1870-71? A, No, Q Did you direct the prosecution of any other per- sons except Tweed? A. I didnot direct the prosecu- tion of Tweed; that is the difficulty you are in, assum- ing things on your questions; I gave no directions to Prosecute any of them. Q@ Iam directed to ask you if you were not in the Comptrolicr’s office when Connolly was arrested, and did you not express surprise at that course, as he was in your charge? A. I may have expressed surprise, but I did not say he was nm my charge—not to my ree- collection, Q. Did you ever call upon Ingersoll to pay back one cent to the city, or did you direct anyone else to require him to dogo? A. f did not Q And are you not aware that soon after the begin- ning of these prosecutions a most malignant attack was made upon the Court of Appeals? The prosecution objected, and Judze Westbrook said he did not see the pertinency of the question. Mr. Field said his reason was this :—These suits wore not bro to recover money back for ity treas- ury, but for another purpose, and ono of the plans was to break down the judiciary department, and a malig. nant and atrocious attack was made on the Court of tion excluded, Now, I didn’t ask you that; don’t answer me that. Will you swear that you recognize Woodward's handwriting? A. Oh, I am very familiar with Wood- ward's handwriting; that was what I was told was his, g ta faz him bing ? S ‘Not Sato renee, ‘ou have spoken of a pro; of sixty per Tweed and forty cent to some one is a mistake; I said Woodward got about sixty-six and Ingersoll the rest. The witness was then taken through his table of its and asked to explain. The question was ed :—-Now look at the first day, May 6; Garvey de- ited 000 that day; he swore that time he posited there was a deposit made for ; do you ann, hoe A. There 18 none, but there is next ze ee do you make out Tweod’s proportion of twenty four per cent on the deposits? A, You'd better yt Wout ‘ill it A. Wh Ingersoll ‘ol wi ro it pow, erever In; to Woodward sixty per cent there appears in ‘weed’s account an entry for twenty-four per contum ; wherever Ingersoll gave Woodward forty per centuin it does not appear in Tweed’s account; it was derived, J sup, from some other source. Q@ On the 13th of May $89,000 was deposited and Tweed gets credit for $, How do you make the proportion there? or have you anything to show that the $9,000 did not come from some other source? A, Thave not. @ And you did not keep the bank books, I believe? A. laid not ‘The Governor admitted that Ingersoll was pardoned without any conditions being imposed upon him. This concluded the cross-examination. PB. Carter then commenced his re-direct examina. | ion. He was handed acheck purporting to have been made by Tweed, and he was asked pe Pad he ever re- ceived this check from Mr, Tweed or any other check, ‘Witness explained bow the check came into his sion and said he had never received any other check. Witness wont on to say that up to the year 1867 he ‘Was reported to be ivent, and up to that time had never made any contributions to the State Committee. Witness went on to jn how certain letters were ‘written by bim to Tweed. Le related principally to litical movements in which Tweed ‘and Tilden were interested. One letter expresessed the hope that Mr. Tweed would attend the Philadelphia Convention to help nominate Andy Johnson for the Presidency. An- other was a recommendation for Mr. Tweed to appoint a poor man to office, the only request of the kind he ever made, He had no ill will against Mr. Tweed; what he did in the matter he did with the single desire tor the public benefit; he was never aware that any positive proof | could be brought forward to establish that there was bribery in the State Legislature; the morning papers evidently misunderstood him; he sald yesterday tbat it was popularly supposed that there was bribery going on; he did not state that he knew this positively. By Mr. Field—You and Tweed went to Philadelphia age stood shoulder to shoulder to fight for the con- tional liberty of this Lar iy vege (Laughter), A. Lendeavored to do so. Mr. Field put a fow more juestions and closed the examination of Governor ‘iden just before recess. * After recess James H. Ingersoll was recallea and examined in relation to the account in the Tenth Na- | tional Bank, He explained the nature of certain ex- “change checks as being an exchange from one bank account to another. Jobn C, Wood, receiving teller of the Tenth National Bank in 1870, produced the deposit books from May to ‘ast, 1870 and read th Poors of ata account and prod: the corresponding deposit ets, Witness testified that on the Itth May, 1870, $21,148 28 in Dills were deposited for Tweed; May 23, the cash book shows a deposit to Tweed’s account ol Ereyy+) in hy and smal aa atid emer k ved 000, lay 27, $22,540; July 50, ; August i shiibo0; augers $37,000.

In the suit of Woil vs. Borehard, tried before Judge Donohue at Supreme Court, Special Term, involving an important question in composition proceedings, a de- cision was rendered yesterday. The plaintiff sued to recover “$1,100, and obtained an attachment, under which the Sheriff levied on insurance moneys due the defendant In a week thereafter the defendant filed a petition in bankruptcy and was adjudged a bankrupt. Thereupon he instituted composition proceedings, which finally resulted in the entry of the usual order confirming the same, There was no assignee chosen and the plaintiff did not prove his debt and claimed that the attachment making his debt a secured one was not barred by the composition, The dofendant con- tended to the contrary and algo insfsted that the at- tachment was dissolved by the composition and bank- ruptey proceedings, Judge Donohue, in giving judg- ment for the plaintiff, rendered the following opinion :— Tn this case the plaintifl, prior to the proceedings in bankraptey of the defendant, but within four months of such proceedings, sued in this court and obtained an attachment, thus securing his debt, The defendant subsequently went into pen ag and compromised with his creditors, no assignee having been appointed, and’ the plaintiff, claiming to be a secured creditor, took no part. The plaintiff contends and defendant denies such secarity, defendamt claiming that the bankrupey procecdings avoided the attachment. That such an attachment, in the absence of other facts, aa sive a security is clear, (Frost vs.‘ Mott, 34 . Koy ; BLN. Y., 140; 27N. ¥., 596.) The next question presented is, are the bankruptey proceedings a supersedious of the attachment? It is clear no such effect of the Bankrupt act can be presumed, and unless the express terms of the act provide for it, no such effect follows (Wilson va City Bk. of St Paul, 17 Wal, 472.) The only section of the baukrupt act making euch a general provision, ts 5,04, and that is where an assignment ismade, The assignee takes ail property including such as may have been attached within four months of the proceedings and the attach- ment as to it is dissolved. Ifthe defendants view i cor- Tect, all he has to do is to file his petition and that dis- solvés the attachment, The Bankrupt act so (ew preserves all boua ide liens (and this ‘s not attacked) that it is hardly worth an extended discussion to ex- amine its provisions on that point’ The argument that a composition vests the defendant with the same pro erty the assignee would have is not sustained either by the act or the reasoning. Asa matter of reason the vesting in the assignee of property so attached within four months, was to prevent collusion with the bank- rupt by which his property might be covered. and the necessity for such stringency does not spoly when the property goes back tothe bankrupt. There mast be judgment for plaintiff. Messrs. Blumenstiel & Ascher, appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. D, Leventrill for de- fendant, TAXATION IN BANKRUPTCY. In the matter of Philip Rein, a bankrupt, Judge Blatchford, of the United States District Court, sitting in bankruptey yesterday, rendered his decision, em- bodying the same in the following opinion:— “In this case the Marshal, under an order of the Court made to that end, presented to and filed with the clerk, for taxation, a statement of his fees, under gen- eral order No. 30, containing twenty-eight items amounting in the aggregate to $441 35. It was accom- panied by an affidavit of a deputy marshal as to certain particular items and to the effect that all the: services charged for in the bill were actually performed as therein stated, and that the expenses charged in it were actually and necessarily incurred and paid by the Marshal, and are just and reasonable, The assignee in bankruptcy had notice, and thereupon consented in writing that the bill be taxed at $301 60, and the clerk taxed it to thatamount, The assignee drew a check for the amount to the order of the Marshal, which check the Register in charge declined to countersign. The Register, in compliance with an order of the Court, has certifi his reasons for so declining and his reasons why the Judge should not countersign the check. ” General order No. 80 provides that the ‘clerk shall tax each fee will, allowing none but such as are pro- vided for by these rules, which taxation shall be con- clusive, reserving to any eae arene’ exceptions to the bills as taxes, which shall be decided by the Court.” The Register certifies, asa reason tor not countersigning the check, that he must hereafter audit the accounts of the assiguee when presented at a meet- ing of the creditors, and he will then have the right to examine the items of the bill taxed and determine if they are properly allowable against the estate; that, in bis opinion, some of the items are not provided for by statute nor rule within the provisions of general order No. and, therefore, the clerk bad no power to allow them; that it cannot be told from said bill what items the clerk allowed, as he merely taxed the bill at the gross sum named by tho jignee in bis written consent; her the Register nor Judge ought to do an act which may de- ‘ive the Register of the right to hereafter audit the Bin and its items as part of the accounts of the assig- nee, and thus put the est, if the bill should be audited at a less amount than that at which it has been taxed by the clerk, to th pense of recovering back from tho Marshal the amount overpaid, and that the visions of eral order No. 30, that the taxation yy the clerk s! be conclusive, cannot deprive the of the power of auditing the accounts of the assignee given by the statutes, soe uaichined aphid at Jength the yasoors Lhe} e Register, cites the law governing the manner of The tucbaien Ghitines ine cbeheniee, some to, and concludes as follows :—‘‘I see nothing in all this to raise any suspicion of the good faith of taxation. How far this taxation may be conclusive hereafter, on tho auditing of the -assignee’s accounts it ig not neces- sary now to decide. It 18 conclusive for the present to entitle the Marshal to have the check countersignea, If the check shall not be countersigned by the Register within five days after the presentation to the ister of a copy of an order to be entered hereon, the Judge will countersign it, on proof of such presentation, and that the check has not been countersigned. Ido not see that the Register bas any lien on tho moneys ip the hands of the assignee, and which may be paid out to the Marshal on the check iu question, for the services of the Register in making the certificates which he has mado inthis case.” @ THE TRIAL OF AUSTIN BLACK. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, before Juige Barrett, was resumed the trial of Austin Black, ona charge of subornation of perjury. The former high business and social connections of the aecused, he having been a prominent broker in this city for a number of years, continued to attract a crowded court room, After some further testimony for the prosecution, which was essentiatly only a repetition of that given by previous witnesses, Mr. Charles W. Brook opened the case for the defence, It was shown from this opening and the succeeding testimony that on May 1, 1866, Mr. Black received a check for $63,000, which the Continental Bank threw out on the ground that the certification was forged; that Black had given $50,000 in eh this check; that Dusenbury, an errand boy of the maker of the check, stated on the next day that he got the check certilied, and that it was bo to Black to cover a loan for goldgand that Dusen- ury subsequently testified to tho samo thing, which came in collaterally in @ suit between the Bank of the Commonwealth. and the Continental Bauk. It would further appear that Mr. Black sued the Conti- nental Bank to recover the amount of the check; that the bank for eight years bas prevented the trial of the case; that when it was about to be brought to trial the bank had Black indicted for subornation of perju and on the strength of the indictment commenced a suit against bim for the damages they had sustained, | dei ed by him, claiming $10,000; tuat in this lat obtained an injunction to restrain him ing them; that Black was held in $20,000 bail, under a statement to the Juage that he was the prin- cipal er or an accomplice, and that while things | were in this condition the present case was brought to trial, The principal witness relied on to prove the alleged subornation stated, under cross-examination, — that Black paid them any money; that he re- fused to have anything to do with them, on their de- mand for mo! ‘and that on being pressed, both How- | elis and Bul admitted that they borrowed money of the detective employed by the bank and of the critically analyzed the testimony for the prosecution, and clanmed that @ more criminal and preposterous story was never concocted to ruin the reputation of a | man whose character in the community hitherto had cashier @&® the bank, and bad not yet repaid | such loans, Mr, Brooke spoke of ‘the high | ebaracter of Mr. Bluck, as a Ddusineas wee, | been spotless. Messrs, Geo E. Hoyt, a revired merchant; Am- brose Snow, William M. Parks, a former broker; Samuel Duncan, Harbor Master; Joseph 8, Spinning, Alfred D, Snow, ehipping and commission | merchant; James M. Boyd, stock broker, and Henry M. Benedict, former President of the Gold Board, all testified that | they had known Mr. Black for years, and each pro- nounced his character without a biemish so far as they knew. Mr. Black then took the stand on his own behalf, He gave a very clear and straightforward Statement, showing how the check ‘came in ase session in the course of business, He denied emp! the statements of his attempt to subora Howells | id most positively declared that the written interrogagories claimed to been prepared by him he never "saw or knew anything avout until their production in court He was subject to a long and rigid cross-examination, but did not waver in the slightest irom his original statement, The trial will be resumed to-day, A SPUNKY WITNESS. A rather singular sult was tried yesterday before Judge J. F. Daly, holding one of the trial terms of the Canrt of Common Pleas The sult wag brooght against Jacob Sharp for alleged contempt of court in Sgainst Mr. Sullivan as Public Administrator to recover $1,900 from the estate of Mrs. Sheridan, The testi* mony showed that a certain gentleman had frequented ® Somewhat questionable house in the upper part of the city; that his picturo ornamented the wall of the matron’s room, and that he made himself useful in caring for the young lady boarders. This portton of the testimony was rather interesting, as may be imagined, but wes not relishea go much, however, as that of Bella Emerson, ard particularly during her cross-examination, “Where do tps reside?” asked the counsel, “1 shan’t teli you,” spoke up the witness sharply. “But you must,’? “But I shall not; you may ask me all day and I won’t tell you,” It was explained to the witness that she need not answer the question if it tended to degrade her. “It won't degrade me and I won’t answer it, and that’s the end of it,” she retorted with energetic ded- ance. She was finally excused trom answertng the question on the ground of its non-matertality, whereupon the counsel proceeded to ply her with further questions, ying ay a live in a disorderly house?’ “No, Bir, “Have’nt you kept an assignation house?” “L have, sir.” “Is not an assignation house a disorderly house ?”” “No, sir; by no manner of means.” The lawyer ceased his questioning and the case ended With a verdict for tho defendant THE BLEECKER STREET RAIL- ROAD. Motions and counter motions will doubtless continue the order for some time to come in reference to the Bleecker Street Railroad. In the proceedings instituted Violating, as claimed, its order, in an effort, as claimed, to transter the franchise to the Twenty-third Street Railroad line, there was quite an arguinent yesterday, betore Judge Lawrence in Supreme Court Chambers, Mr. Robert Ludlow Fowler, appeared for Mr. Alvin 8. Southworth, receiver of the road, and strenuously in- sisted that there should be no aelay in the matter of punishing Mr. erat for intermeddting With the affairs of the company 40 the injury of the rights of the re- ceiver, Mr. Fowler described the machinations of Sharp and others in anything but a complimentary way, and set forth the jaside workings of those who are endeavoring 40 appropriate the franchises, After some remarks in opposition by Mr. Bright, who claimed that he was willing to have the case come to trial in a very short time, but was exceedingly anxious that the Court, before deciding the motion, should hear Mx, Scribner, who had beon culled by special en- gagemont to Albany, the turther hearing of the case Was adjeurned until Monday next. THE BROOKLYN RING SUITS. The sharp legal combat over what seems to be re- garded as an important preliminary question, whether the Brooklyn Ring suits should be tried in this city or in Brooklyn, 1s still being fought in the courts with un- ‘abatod vigor and determination. Judge Lawrence yes- terday, in Supreme Court, Chambers, pending a motion for a further hearing on a motion to vacate the stay of meg gave permission to serve a reply to the Tecent affidavit made by General Pryor in order to al- Jow the latter ime to put in an answering affidavit. The counsel were instracted to serve such reply forth- with so that no time might be lost or basis furnishea for further delay in the case. Having given these in- structions Judge Lawrence set the case down peremp- torily for argument to-morrow, DECISIONS.

Before Recorder Hackett, WHO STOLE THE CARPET BAG? Upon the 11th of November last Mr, Walter W. Price, | of No, 291 West Tenth street, had stolen from him at | the Sturtevant House a bag containing $77 worth of | clothing and number of papers of some value. He | notified the police, anda fow days afterward the police of Jorsey City arrested a young man with the bag in his possession, The prisoner gave nis name as Willian Reaves, and said he lived in Greensboro county, Mary. land. He accounted for his possession of the property | by telling this story:—While I was standing on the corner of Broadway and Houston street on the day of the robbery I was approached by Francis Hooghtaling, of No. 61 Jane street, in this city, who asked me if 1 | were a stranger in the city and if I would like to make some ers I answered ‘‘yes’ to both questions, whereupon he told me to go to the Sturtevant House, register my name and take a room. I entered my name as W. H, Ross, and, taking the room | assigned me, was soon joined by joughtaling, who carried the bag 1 bis hand; giving it to me he or- dered me to take it to Cortlandt stroet ferry. I did so gs he came to me there, and saying he would have a ey fitted to the bag, went off with it, telling me t wait, Ho retarned In a short time, said there wi nothing in the bag he wanted except ome papers, and ordered me to take it to Taylor’s Hotel in Jersey City, which I did, and two days later I was arrested,” Upou this statement Houg! ng Was also arrested, and the two men were indicted by the Grand Jury.

When Judge Kasmire became involved ina quarrel with the police squad of the Essex Market Police | Court he attributed to them certain improper prac- tices, to reform which he turned his whole attention, The Police Commissioners took the part of the police and broadly hinted to Judge Kasmire the impropriety of making allegations, which he failed during the in- quiry before them to prove. The Board of Police Justices naturally sympathize with their collegge, and after his defeat by the Police Commissioners they do- termined to sbow that the reasons for wishing a reform | in the court squads were well founded, Accordingly a committee was appointed whose duty it was to collect of impropricty against the individual mem- ‘bers of the court squads—it having been alleged that the squad = attached to the Pitty: seventh Police Court, thongh composed of old and trasted members of the police force, were nccus- tomed to receive a percentage of fees obtained by law- Yers for recommending clients,to them. Justice Duify ‘Was appointed, so the story goos, a committee of ono to Investigate the matter and ascertain if the allega- os were well founded. A charge of the nature alluded to came to light yesterday, and will probably be one of the most well founded that His Honor will be Supplied with.
