THE COURTS. Deviin’s Suit to Compel Tweed’s Ring Allies to Disgorge. APPLICATION FOR A RECEIVER DENIED Property of a Mining Superintend- ent Attached. THE CITY MULCTED IN A HEAVY VERDICT. Ghosts of Black Friday and Jay Gould. A subject of longthy argument yesterday in Supreme Court Chambers, before Judge Donobue, was a motion in the suit brought by Charles Devlin against the city, the Board of Supervisors, Attorney General Fairchild, Corporation Counsel Whitney, Jackson 8. Schultz, John HL Keyser, Andrew J. Garvey, Richard B. Connolly and James H. Ingersoll, for the appointment of a receiver of all the claims against certain of the defendants who are charged with having through conspiracy obtained large sums from the city and county treasury, Tho appointment of such a receiver is asked for, that he may prosecute the alleged conspirators and their estates and thus endeavor to obtain a restoration of the sums of which they have de(rauded the city and county. The court room was thronged, and the arguments of tho respective counsel wero listened to with great interest. Mr. Dudley Field and Ex-Judge Bosworth appeared for the motion aod Messrs. Wheeler H. Peckham and Charles O’Conor appeared in opposition, although the latter gentleman, to the great disappointment of many present, did not participate in the argument. ‘The papers were first read in the case in support of the motion, These embraced a statement of the bases of the suit, which were stated to be neg- ligence of prosecution of various members of the old Court House Ring, and the fact that the statute of limitations would soon bo a bar to any prosecution of these cases, and that this suit ‘was the only possible method for obtaining @ restora- thon of immense sums out of which the city and county were defraudea through such alleged conspiracy? In bo man to the motion was read a very lengthy jdavit by Mr. Peckham, This was nothing more nor Jess than an epitomized history of the Ring suits. It wasa pretty and familiar matter, and yet the recital of the details, while onthe one hand us interesting ‘as the graphic story revealing the hidden history of the gunpowder plot, seemed almost a marvellous coup- terpart of the Arabian tales, suggestive of Ali Baba and Aladdin, Itis unnecessary to recite these familiar * facts, No “open sesame”? ever developed such splen- dor of riches, Mr. Field made the opening argument. He began by reading the act passed by we Legislature in 1862, under which the present action is brought, such act conferring the right upon any taxpayer in the city to institute such proceeding. Mr. Devlin, as a taxpayer, he claimed, was authorized vo bring the suit, and the bona fides of the suit was not a matter to be con- sidered, The object of the act was to encourage just Buch actions, ‘Tbe suit Was not brought in any th.rd party’s interest, but to benetit the city. Mr, Devlin did bot waut any receiver on his own behalf, an™here ‘was po imputation on Mr. Fairchild or Mr. Wuitney, who recently became oflicials, and the suit was not brought agamst them in any offensive sense. It was now 1876; the irauds werd discovered in 1871, aud there was practically nothing done about these claims, [ne Attorney General and the Corporation Counsel Were the ones who must put the machinery in motion. If these suits were not instituted pretty soon they would have to be dismissed for want of prosecution. The parties whom they sought to prosecute still had in thei jon tBew stolen money, und the object of the present suit was to compe its restoration, and tho only effectual way todo ii, be insisted, was by the plan proposed, the appuintiment of a receiver. Mr. Peckham, ina lengthy response, ciaimed that this action was Lrought not in good jah, and that its abject was not to benefit the city, bat to help Mr, tweed. While the 5: te all right, be insisted that it was discretionary with the Court as to allowing wy sach suit’ as the present one to be prosecuted ander such statute, dlaims was to meet the contingency of want of prose- cution of claims of this character. In the present case be contended that these suits had been prosecuted with all the rigor possible, that a large sum had al- ready been reali from the Waisou estate through such prosecution; that a verdict for over $6,000,000 had been obtained against Tweed, and that suits were ‘ill pending against Connolly and others ta Euro; which were now being prosecuted. As for lugersoil, he was pardoned out of prison upon the condition of his ving valuable testimony, which he had given. jarvey and Keyser had aiso given valuable testimony. The evidence of these three parties had been reecived as State’s evidence, and was a bar to civil though net criminal prosecutions. In the cause of Belknap, at Washington, it was found necessary to obtain the tes- mony of Marsh, which could only be procured upon the assurance of latter's exemption from prosecu- tion, So in prosecuting Tweed, they had to accept the deatimony of Ingersoll, Garvey and Keyser in order to secure Tweed's conviction. Ex-Ji Bosworth followed with quite a lengthy ‘argument in reply to Mr. Peckham. He insisted that the motive of the plaintiff was immaterial, and that a Lean who has a good cause of action cannot be de- leated on the ground that his motive is sinister. He asked that the act in question be liberally construed, a3 being for the public benefit. The papers, he said, showed that Garvey and Keyser were ready and Willing to restore their share of the stolen plunder, but no steps bad been taken to show the ammount of their in- debtedness or to recover the money they had traudu- Jeutly obtained. He contended that the receiver need only look after these small sums, while the opposing counsel could prosecute the larger claims. All they wished to do was to wake up the sleeping municipality and recover mon which otherwise would be lost tothe ig ome county treasury. Judge Donohue suid that he saw no necessity of giv- ing the matter any special consideration. The case, in bis view, was avery clear ope, and, being eft discre- ovary with the Court, he regarded it his duty to deny the application, and directed xu order to be entered to this effect, AN IMPORTANT MINING SUIT, A suit to recover $1,200,000 has been brought by the Union Consolidated Mining Company against Julius ©. Raht and others. The basis of the suit is an alleged tonversion by the defendants of a large quantity of valuable ore in the plaintifis’ mines and misappropria- Mon of money and securities Mr. Raht, it is further averred, was for sixteen years a superintendent in the mines of the Union ConsoiMated Mining Company, and the alleged was oblained by the laintifts against Mr. Rant’s property in this city, on the peer that he was a non-resident debtor, he being a resident of Yenneesce. The case came up inthe Supreme Court yesterday beiore Jud, rence on a motion to vacate the attachment, tion was urged on the ground that a case of conversion was not set jorth in the orginal complaint and that the Court could not regard the amended complaint, Wasmoch as it was made previous to the fling of the original complaint, There was also included in the motion an application to reduce the attachment, Lz Dpposition to the motion it Was contended that the at. tachment w: ranted under proper ailidavit and required by the Code; that the amended complaint had been filed in proper time and was to be treated as the only complaint in the action. At the conclusipa of the argument Judge Lawrence took the papers, feserving bis decision, MARRY THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER. For several days past, as already reported, there has been on trial before Judge Larremore, holding Supreme Court, Special Term, a suit brought by Mrs, Ella MeBride, against Samuc! McBride, the point in issue being the construction of a will. Some rather curious testimony was elicited yesterday in the examination of &@ witness named Mra. Aun 5. Tinsdale. “What did the testator say about the plaintiff?” was one of the questions put to the witness, “He this,” promptly answered the witness, ‘Rather than marry her I'd marry the devil’s daugh- ter end go and live with the old vee get ‘8 Of course there was a general jaugh at this, and the case fell into its wonted groove of duiness. It, however, came to a speedy though unexpected conciuaion, During recess and before all the testimony was in the counsel held a consultation, and a negotiation was at once made for a settlement. The contestants agreed to ‘8 decree affirming the will, and the plaintiff agreed to Oe ae estate jor the amount in cou vest. Judge approved of this winding ap of the case, and a settlement was ordered accordingly. HEAVY CILY VERDICY. Very quick work was made of an jimportant euit ht to trial yesterday, before Judge Barrett, bold- | ing Supreme Court, Cirenit. The case was the suit brought by the Metropoliton Gas Light Company ys. The Ciy, to recover £133,684 25 tor gas turnished 1a 1874. This case Was deiended on the gronud that the Piainti omitted certain Decessury siunatures to the cuntract papers. Judge Barrett thought it was a most outrageous defence, and directed a verdict tor the pained? for the (ail amount clatmed. pits si sae “BLACK FRIDAY" SUITS.

In 1865 Daniel Gallagher entered into a contract with the city for the night-soil, and agreed to pay $4,000 a year. The city failed to comply with the contract, and he has brought suit for $300,000 damages. A mo- tion was made yesterday in Supreme Court Chambers, before Judge Donohue, by Mr. Dean, Assistant Corpo- ration Counsel, to bave the Board of Health made a party defendant in the suit, This was resisted by Mr. George H. Starr, in an argument of considerable length, after which Judge Donohue took the papers, ying his decision. DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, By Dudge Donohue. Hyman vs. Abrahams —Motion denied.

McGrath.—If the petitioner thinks that be can maintain bis action against the re- coiver on the state of facts presented by the affidavits Lam disposed to give him an opportunity to establish his case, Motion granted; no costs. Eldridge vs. Maclay.—I am of the opinion that the statute of 1862 bas not taken away from tbe Court the ower which, os tho successor of the Court of ‘hancery, is under the Revised Statutes, to direct that witnesses examined under & commission may be examined and re-examined orally, (Sec. 2 R. S, Edmund's Ed., p. 187; sec. 83, marginal paging 180; also sec. 88). if the power exists the case ap- pears to be a proper one for ite exercise; and if the’ case is one in Which the power should be exercised I must follow the decision of the General Term ot this Court in the case of Clayton vs. Farrington, 16 Abbott, p. 278, An order will be eptered, on one day’s notice, in comformity with these views. Brennan vs. The Mayor, &c.—Under our present system of procedure it does not seem to me to be nec- essary for the defendant to bring an action to set aside the judgment referred to inthe complaint It there was {raud on the judgment and in its equitable powers | the Court can relieve on an answer setting forth tho facts as well as upon acomplaint he oe directly for that purpose, (Dolan vs. Pearce, 2 Ken., 158.) The judginent in the former suit ap to be conclusive ‘as to tho point that the plainuit, being a public officer, could become the assignee of Mr. Cadden’s lease. That was the point involy Under the elreumstances I do not think that the judgment precludes the detendants trom alleging the (esc og set forth in the amended answer. They allege that they were ignorant of the | facts at the time the original answer was served, and any apparent laches seem to be explained and ex- cused, (Foster vs, Wood, 1J. C., 90.) The facts now sought to be pleaded wero not directly in issue in the former case, (1 Greenleaf, section 528.) I shall also allow the alleged counter claims (o be pleaded. If an- sound they can be tested on demurrer. ‘The terms of the amendment will be the payment of the ccsts of the action to the present time and costs of motion. Rotauin vs. Garth,—In the absence of a consent by all the parties this" case cannot be referred What- | ever may be ultimately determined to be the rights of | the defendant, Bennett, on the fuce of the pleadings he | is a proper and necessary purty to the action, and it ts, | therefore, competent for him to take the otyection that the case is not one in which a conned. reterence or & reference on the consent of some of the parties can be ordered.
