8 -THE COURTS. Befusal to Vacate an Order of Arrest Against | : Dunean, Sherman & C). Important Decisions by the Superior Court, General Term. Efforts to Extradite Another Alleged Bel- gium Murderer. Boss Tweed, Though Absent, Not Forgotten, r Im the suit of Washington Roebling against Duncan, Sherman & Co., to rocover some $5,000 on a bill of exchange on the Union Bank of London, the facts of which haye been published in the Heratp, a decision was given yesterday by Judge Barrett, denying the motion to vacate the order of arrest. He writes quite a Jengthy ppimon on the subject, holding that the rule of law | governing cases of this kind jis well settled, that the | question is ono of interest, to be ascertained by an in- Quiry as to whether the debtor had any reasonabie | expectation of meeting his obligations at maturity, and | that, if he had such reasonable expectation, that then it fs the case of a legitimate effort by an embarrassed porson, be he trader or banker, to retrievo his fortunes, ‘| in which case the law is not 80 strict as to uire a disclosure which would — prob- ably lefeat the elfort. Otherwise it falls, he Bays, within that other class of cases where the merchant or trader, dnding himeelf hopelessly in- solvent and with stoppage imminent without disclosing | his situation, ana, in virtue of his supposed solvency Bud weil established credit, contracts fresh obligations ich he cannot reasonably hope to meet, and this | the law condemns as fraudulent. In the case at bar | tne defendants were hopelessly insolvent when they | gold the bill in question—that is, their jiabilities mounted to about $5,000,000 and their assets to less | than $2,000,000. They deny knowledge of insolvency, | but admit knowledge of ombarrassment. Six days | later they stopped payment and made a general assign- | ment. Itis held, further, that under these circumstances it | became very clearly the duty of defendants, especially | after the admonition of Judge Lawrence, to lay before | e Court all the facts on which they based their san- | | | | | | | | | | that it was for the Qourt to say, presented, whether such expecta: tions were reasonable and real; that vo light is thrown upon the subject by the simple declaration that they found themselves embarrassed ; that it was their duty to give the Court, as nearly as might be, a photographic | view of their examinauion into their affairs, and that fter the examivation, even with the result stated, it their duty to have stopped at once. The opin- concludes as follows:—‘The explanations made by vy hpi with respect to the state of the account with the Union Bank of London are sufliciently full, They do not, however, alter the effect of the failure to furnish tne facts which bave teen discussed. Of course phe payment of the bill did not altogether depend upon | phe iact that the delendants had money on credit with thedrawee, It depended rather upon their continu. ance, In other words, they were not justified in the expectation that the bill could be honored merely be- eause the drawees had funds im their bands, unless they were also justified in the expectation of success | in the negotiations for additional means, and in the belief that such additional means would enable them te continue their business without interruption. In deed, as they themselves say, the cause of the failure of | the Union Bunk of London to honor their bills, includ (ng that now in question, was the telegraphic report in | London of their stoppage and of the execution of their assignment. The Court is therefore constrained to bold, as the necessary result of the conceded fucts, ealling, as they do, for clear and precise evidence, which hes not been furnished, of other {ucts sufficient to justify the alloged expectation of continuance, that the defendants must have known when they sold the bill, that before it reached London they would be compelled to close their doors, and that a refusal to accept would be the result. It follows, therefore, without the neces- sity of considering the other branch of the case, that ht hea to vacate the order of arrest must be de- Ried.’ DECISIONS ON APPEAL. In the Superior Court, General Torm, a batch of de- cisions was handed down yesterday with accompany- ing opinions in most of the cases. Only few involved, however, questions of public interest, and an abstract f these is given below :— Conrad Boller brought suit against the city to re- cover $81,000 claimed as balance of rent due for cer- tain buildings occupied as armories and drill rooms, the same having been leased by the Board of Supervi- | sors at a rental of $36,000 a year, On behalf of the | city it is claimed that the Board of Supervisors had no | power to execute the lease except under the military | tode. It was admitted at the trial in the court below Yhat the lease was emecuted without any demand hay- | ing been made upon the Board of Supervisors as re- quired by the military code, but it was claimea that is. was not materiai and that {t was not evidence because of an adjudication of the District Cour, This was overruled and & verdict directed for the city. The General form, to which the case was carried on appeal, in its decision, Judge Sanford writing the opinion, holds that the Board of Supervisors had no power to execute the sease, and that, inasmuch as the court in which the judgment was entered was jocal and of « limited char- acter, it could be attacked collaterally ; that the officer | or magistrate giving judgment exceeded his jurisdic- | hional power by giving unauthorized adjournments, d that the judgment was void on its face. It is held, | further, that the estoppel claimed by the plaintift does ly ex: d the exception taken in this re- herefore oyerruled aud judgment ordered for | ¥ on tho verdict. } important decision was also rendered growing | put of the suit brought by the city to recover some $200,000 allegeato have been wrongfully appropriated Mr. Starkweather during his oflice of Collector of | Assessments. After iasne was joined, and before the trial, Mr. Starkweather died. A motion was made Bpecial Term to continue the action against his repre tative. This motion was granted, and the suit was then continued against Mrs. Lucinda Rk. Starkweather, w@ministratrix of the deceased. Mrs, Starkweather led from this order, and the General Term Baw affirms it, Judge Monell writing a lengthy opinion tm the case. The principal point was whether after the | featn of Mr. Starkweather the cause of action sur- vived or continued under the provisions of the codo bad the statutes governing such cases. This case was prosecuted under a special statute providing that Where the money or property of any corporation bas mn improperly detained or disposed of the people shall have a right of action forthe same and for dam- os such wrongful conversion, e Court decided appeals in three suits against rail- oad companies. The first is the suit brought by Will- jam Satherland against the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company. In this case the Pplaipti? undertook to cross the track at Forty-seventh Street, when ho was struck by a paasing locomotive, had one broken anda foot crushed. In the lower court a verdict was given in his favor. The appeal was on the ground of contributive negligence, but the testimony seemed to leave a doubt as to ‘whether the engincer was ringing his bell at the time. On this grou ew trial is granted, the oprmion being Written by Judge Sanford. In the next case, being the sult brought by Mrs, Davis against the Third Avenue Ratiroad Company to recover damages on account of ber husband's death, which is charged to the negli- enee of the company, the Court affirms the judgment low, which was in favor of the plaintiff. In the suit Of Hamilton against the samo company, in which a Was given against the latter, the Court denies the motion to permit the defendant to carry the case | to the Court of Appeals. The verdict in the suit of Mrs. George Wright against the Equitable Life Assurante Society, to recover on a | estoppel by the y of $5,000 on her husband's life, hasbeen reversed | and w trial orde: A new trial is ordered in the vid suit of Magnin, Gardner & Co, against Adams Ex- press Company, brought to recover the value of a pack- sent to Memphis, Tenn. , and in which a verdict was given for af eeryya The case bas already been four | times to the Court of Appeals. EXTRADITION WITH BELGIUM. ‘Henri Adolphe Fiammand was yesterday taken be- fere United States Commissioner White on a charge of having murdered Peter Remy, surnamed Pierre Rov ert, at Jumel, Belgium, om the morning of February 19, 187% The prisoner was committed without bail | to await an examination, which will be held oa Satur. day next. It appears that Flammand and Robert re coal Miners and working nearJumel On the evening of February 18, 1873, they met at a beor saloon in Jumel engaged in drinking and dancing Robert be- angry and told Flammand to stop dancing and go | y trom bit. Flammand replied, “1 will go over in my own corner and dance and will not bother you.” Robert, it is said, went over to him, struck bim and @ut his face. During the fight Flammand bad his @lothing torn. He then went home, but soon after went to another beer saloon, and was there when Robert anda girl came in. The girl said, “Don't go over there; there is that man again.”” Robert re- lied, “1am not airaid when it is man to man,” and toward Fiammanu, who went into the street, ly afterward the people heard a ery for help. fan out with the others and found Robert lying it 18 Said, saw the encoun- acted in self-defence, and he would have lost his marder weapon was arrested by Robinson, at Sand was working to name of Gilbert ‘im, a6 he has no | | Edward Coppers, did $ | on the ground that this was a new office and that the } tion’ before Judge Robinson, which was adjourned | Mr P | yesterday, the trial of William J, Hirschfeld, charged | hado for defendant. | took the papers.

Blydenburg, who brings the suit, sets forth in bis complaint that whem the Croton Aqueduct became part of the Department of Public Works, prior to October 24, 1870, he was the owner in fee of a grist mill and saw mill on Mescoot River, in Westches coupty, three miles below Lake Manopac, which was worked by the natural overflow of said lake and Kirk Pond, and had a prescriptive right to the mill; that prior to October 24, 1870, the Department of Pablic Works, fearing a drought, dug down the natural out- :ds and dammed up the ponds; that de- off the water much below ordinary low . and that the ordinary overtlow being | tuf was unable to work bis mills for a | 0 days, for which be elaims $6,084 50 | k is claimed on behalf of the city that illiam M,. Tweed, who was Commissioner of Pablic | Works in 1870, gave the Mahopac Manufacturing Com- | any authority to draw from the lakes to the extent of | that the Department of Public Works owned the dams and bulkheads at the outlets and the right to use and draw off the water to the extent to which it was drawn off, and that the alterations and digging down were done pursuant to this arrabgement with the Mahopac Manufacturing Company. The trial is likely to occupy several days, SUITS AGAINST THE CITY. Judge Larremore, holding Supreme Court, Special Term, was occupied yesterday in hearing an argument | in two cases brought against the city, which brings into question the powers of the Board of Supervisors, In tho frst suit the plaintiffs, Christopher Byrnes and 72 18 worth of plumbing work | for the city in 1871 at the request of the Comptroller, | and although the bill was duly audited by the Board of Supervisors, it mot the tate of a great many other bills and was not allowed by Mr. Green, ‘The city interposo a demurrer, claiming that prior to the act of 1872 all county work should be done by authority of the Board of Supervisors and not by that of the Comptroller, and that if 1t were done in that legal way the audit of the Supervisors would be conclusive and the Comptroller The could no} time subsequently refuse payment. Other case was the suit brought by Simon Levy to re- cover pay as attendant upon the Sheriff's jury, the compensation for which was fixed by the Board of Su- pervisors at $100 a month, A demurrer was interposed Legislature, and not the Board ot Supervisors, had the power to create it. Judge Larremore took the pupers in both cases, THE WALKER DIVORCE SUIT. There seems to be a promise of interminable motions and counter motions in the various cross litigations having their origin in the suit brought by Dr. Walker to obtain a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Eliza Jano Walker. Considerable time was occupied yesterday by Judge Van Brunt, holding Special Term of tho Court of | Common Pleas, in listening to the arguments of Mr, G. W. McAdam, asthe representative of Dr. Walker, and Mr. John G. Perry, as the representative of Mrs. Walker, they both appearing, each with an order to show cause forthwith agamst the other; one to compel the wife to elect. in Wwhicn suit she will go to trial, which Judge Van Brant ae- nied, and the other for reargument of the alimony mo- over until to-morrow. Meantime, on the motion ad- journed over from last Monday, to continue the in- junction im her suit, which oxpired in his suit on Sat- urday, Judge Van Brunt bas not yet announced his de- cision, Ihe temporary alimony awarded by Judge Robinson is said to be the highest of any ever granted | in this State of which there is any record in the law reports, and We samo 1s also said to be true of the $1,000 counsel fee allowed by the same judge, This, however, is only the counsel fee in one suit, whereas | y, counsel for Mrs, Walker, claims counsel feos hits, there being four suits now pending. ILLEGAL REGISTRATION. In the United States Circuit Court, Criminal Term, in thre: with having illegally registered as a voter in this city on October 17, 1874, was concladod before Judge Bene- dict anda jury. The defence was that he registered | by and with the consent of the Board ot Registers, and | without guilty knowledge, The jury returned with a | verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was remanded for | sentence, A motion ir arrest of judgment wilt be argued on Thursday. The parents and three sisters of Hirschfeld were in court, On the announcement of the verdict one of the gisters fainted, the father seemed | wild with excitement, and the others screamed and wept, creating Intense excitement. WHAT CONSTITUTES A WARRANTY, A case was tried yesterday in the Marine Court, Part. 2, before Chiot Justice Shea, that onco again goes to | enlighten business men as to what constitutes a war- ranty in the purchase and sale of goods. J. H. Leeds sued Samuel Il Molleson for the value of fourteen | bales of what is known to trade as burlap cuttings, or Daggings, which the latter had purchased from the plaintil! on what the defendant claimed was a warranty as to quality. The goods were sent to defendant's mills, at Lee, Mass., for manufacturing purposes. The parties there discovered that the cuttings were of sec- ond quality—not fitted for their purpose—whereupon the detend. had them refreighted to New York, and notified the plaintiff thas he could not use them, and had them stored to his order. The latter would not accept them, and sued for the contract price. The Court held tat there was no acceptance within the | statute of frauds, that there was no evidence of war- ranty, and directed a verdict for tho plaintiff staying proceedings pending a motion for new trial. Mr. She!- don appeared for defendant and Messrs, Bell and Mel- ANOTHER “PIQUE” INJUNCTION. Mr. Augustin Daly, of the Fifth Avenuo Theatre, has had another injunction victory.

ALLEGED OFFICIAL MALFEASANCE, Yesterday Counsellor John Flemming, of the Jamaica Bar, appeared before Justice Pratt, Supreme Court, Kings Couaty, and presented a petition, signed bya large number of taxpayers and citizens of that town, praying for the removal of Henry S. Lott and George Bennett, Justices of the Peace of that place, for alleged malfeasance in office. The counsel moved that the Court appoint a referee to take testimony and to submit the report ofthe result to His Honor. Judgo Pratt took the papers and reserved his decision. The accusation is that of charging the town for trials that were never held and for collecting fines and not re- turning them to the treasurer. THE SIMMONS MURDER. On Thursday next Andreas Fuchs, the wheelwright’s helper, who murdered William Simmons in January last, and then cut up the body of his victim into small pieces, will be arraigned for trial in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Gilbert. Itis not antici- pated that much difficulty will be experienced in obtain- ing a jury inthe case. Excellent counsel has been assigned Fuchs by the Court, and he will have the benc- fit of the defence, which will endeavor to show that the fatal blow was struck when infuriated upon finding the deceased in criminal proximit, his wife. The | prisoner, when asked yesterday what he thought the | Court would do with him, replied, ‘I guess 1 goes to Sing Sing for some time, That's all right, I'm willing.” Mrs. Fuchs is in delicate health, and retires from ob- servation as much as possible to the recess of her cell. The child, Nellie, ig quartered with the family of the jailer, Colonel Stinson. DOLAN’S CASE. ABGUMENT FOR AN ARREST OF JUDGMENT IN THE COURT OF APPEALS. ALBANY, March 20, 1876, Mr. A, Oakey Hall to-day argued the Dolan case before the Court of Appeals. He contended that the judgment must be absolately arrested and Dolan set free, because the whole indict- ment is invalid, as the people, by confessing the facts of the Grand Jury a ye that the County Clerk by duress prevented the Commissioner of Jurors from drawing the Grand Jury, which the statute im- | peratively requires; also because the vet tached | solely to the first count, which was error, in that 1t oo gr to plead the full statutory definition of mur- er. Mr. Hall’s argument was a very claborate one and Was listened to with great interest by a large number of the members of the Bar of this and other cities who were in attendance at the court. District Atu ney Phelps appeared for the people and delivered a brief argument, he being ovidently not in good health, COURT OF APPEALS. , Avpaxy, March 20, 1876, The following is the day calendar of the Court of Ap- peals for Tuesday, March 21, 1876:—Nos, 9, 11, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

The Commission: of migra jon vs. North German Lioyd.—These are the cases arising un- der the statutes of New York regulating emigration. The decision of the Court, after an elaborate review of the case, is, that the legislation is in conflict with the constitution of the United States, and therelore void. The Court are of the opinion that this whole subject has been conildea to Congress by the constitu- tion; that Congress can more appropriately and with) more acceptance exercise it than any otter body known to our laws, State or national; ‘that by providing a system of laws in these matiers | applicable to all ports and all vessels, a serious question, which has long been matter of contest and compiaint, may be effectually and satisfactorily settled. Whether in the absence of such action by Congress the States may by legislation protect themselves against actual paupers, vagrants, criminals and diseased persons ar- riving im their territory {rom foreign countries, 13 not decided.

ALLEGED TAMPERING WITH A JUROR, AN EPISODE OF THE BOWEN ONE HOUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR LIBEL SUIT . AGAINST THE EAGLE. Yesterday forenoon Mr. Abner ©. Keeney was notl- fied by an officer of Police Justice Walsh’s Court to appear before that magistrate to answer a complaint made against him by Henry C. Bowen. The defendant 18 to be present himeelf in court aud plead to the charge to-day. The accusation is that of having made an attempt to bribe a juror, one E. M. Hendrickson, locksmith, who served on the jury before which the celebrated Kidd treasure salvage libel suit was tried last fall The action in question was instituted by the editor of the Independent, it will be remembered, against the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Thomas Kin- sella, and damages were laid at the enormous sum of $100,000. Mr. Bowen’s complaint was that the articles connecting him the management of an infamous Kidd salvage concern that had been given to the world through the Eagle columns had entailed injury to Lim for which he sought to recover in the sum named. The trial took place in the Brooklyn City Court, before Judge Reynolds, Ex-Judge Fullerton ‘was senior counsel for Mr. Bowen, and William M. Beach and other lawyers represented the defence. The attention of the Court was occupied with the caso for one week. The jury found a verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $1,000. Dir. Abner C. Keeney, who isa eae vhe Hempstead Reservoir contractor, Will- jam C, Kingsley, 18 said to be one of the largest stock- holders in the Brooklyn Eagie. It appears that_some weeks ago Mr. E. M. Hendrickson made an affidavit setting forth that during the progress of the trial in question Abner C. Keeney called at his house, No. 71 North Oxford street, and’ said to hna, “Do you think ‘ou can influence those jurymen in the Bowen case in favor of the ” He said he was one-quarter owner of the Ba Bowen's character was bad, refer- ring to tl ‘orthern Pacific Railroad bond business. Mr. Keeney, the ex-juryman, further deposed that ‘he might help him pecuniarily, and he used every possi- ble means to influence him.’” In the complaint of Mr. Edward A. Bowen against Mr, Keoney it 1s set forth, in substance, that “Abner ©, Keeney unlawfully attempted to corrupt one E. M. Hendrickson, who was drawn and was acting as a juror in the case of Henry C, Bowen vs. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Thomas Kinsella,’ by offering to as- t him out of a financial difficulty. " Mr. Keeney says that the aMd: ft E. M. ndrick- son, whom he has known for y and with whom he has had some business transactions, is ab- solutely false, Two gr three days before the juryman named made the damaging affidavit in question Keeney states that he (Hendrickson) called on him and wanted him to go on a bond for $3,000 in an action in which he was about to appeal from an adverse verdict in a suit which had been recently tried. Keeney asked him if the judgment on appeal should be against him could he meet {t, and Hendrickson said he could not. ‘That was the reason Keeney rofused to sign the bond. ‘This refusal excited the anger of Hendrickson, accord- ing to Mr, Keeney’s statement. RUN OVER BY A CAR. At three o’clock yesterday afternoon a stonecutter, named Patrick Burke, was knocked down and run over by a Third avenue car, at Eleventh street. The wheels of the car, passing directly over his chest, crushed in the ribs and produced other internal injuries which will in all probability prove fatal, He was picked up apd sent to Bellevue Hospital. Burke is forty-four ears old, unmarried, ana resides at No. 244 East Soeenty-ctghth street, Ata late hour last night ne ap- peared to be in a dying condition. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS IN BROOKLYN.
