8 THE COURTS Another of the “Black Fri- day” Suits in Court. is upon a judgment recovered against defendants in | the same Court on th December, 1874, tor $1,544 45; the claim of Ignacio Mariscal is upon a | sment'similarly obtained on the 24d of December, | for $13,299 The complaint further alleges plaintiits are informed and believe, on or avout | h of July, 1875, Witham Butler Duncan, William Watts Sherman and Francis H. Grain, who | had been for many years prior to that time partners | business in tho city of New York under the firm | of Dunean, Sherman & Co., stopped or sus- d business, and failed to resume payinent within | | @ period of forty days thereafter of their commercial MYSTERIES OF OUR GREAT MONEY MART A New Suit Against Duncan, Sherman & Co. Action to Set Aside the Adjudica- tion of Bankruptcy. | Judge Blatehford’s Decision in the Lawrence Extradition Case, | Amid the rocks and shoals and quicksands of Wall 6trect thore never swirled such a seething mwistrom as on the 24th of September, 1872, memorable in finan- cial and commercial circles as ‘Black Friday.”’ Grow- ing out of the great gold corner gotten up on that eventful day, of which Jay Gould and James Fisk, Jr, were the alleged head and front, has been an amount | ef litigation unparalleled in extent and the interests in- volved. Among the various so-called “Black Friday” Suits there has been none of more importance than that brought by De Witt C, Taylor against Jay Gould @nd others alleged to have been co-operators in getting up the gold corner, the trial of which was commenced yesterday before Judge Barrett, holding Supreme Court, Circuit, the jury in the case simply having been sworn in on the previous day. The plaintifl is represented by Messrs. Sullivan, Sewell, Peckham and Grover, whilo curiously enough Mr. Gould is detended by Wilham A. Beach and Thomas G. Shearman. When the court opened but little time was lost in preliminary busi- ness, Mr. Sullivan promptly opened the case, saying that the plaintit! was a broker and member of the Stock Exchange; that on “Black Friday” he was there asa matter of fact to sell $200,000, and that he sold this Bmount of his own gold to Albert Speyers for $320,000, currency. The defendants, Jay Gould, James B, Black, Henry A. Smith and Henry A. Mott, with James Fisk, Jr, associated themselves for what they cailed a busi- hess project—that is to say, to make moncy by raising the price of gold, and by purchases and sales conducted by them, Mr. Spoyers was thero ws their agent, and by their directions bid prices to raise the price of gold, and they finally gotup great excitement, the figures running up very bigh, Iu the course of the day Mr. Speyers gave the plant, cording to custom, a memorandum of the contract, which has been lost, but it was substantially, if not hiterally, “bought trom De Witt C, Taylor, $200,000 American gold coin at $320,000, for account of James Fisk, Jr., and associates, V. Speyers.”? Within an hour after the sale the plainti! deposited iu the Farm- ers’ Loan and Trust Company the margin of $60,000 to secure the other side, and notified Mr. Spoyers to deposit twenty-two per cent of the purchase money, accord. Ing to the rules of the Exchange, and he said he would fo so. He was requested again and again, and finally, ater two o'clock, said he couldn’t ant wouldn't. In wher words, as the circumstances developed, the de- lendants were unable to pay. The storm had broken wver their own heads, According to another rule of the Excharge the plaintiff had the gold scld by an pificer of the Exchange that same day, but as pric aad been rapidly falling from the forced artificial ra’ ft was thea but 133—and the plaintif sustained a loss of $53,700, for which, with interest, he claims a verdict. The defence they make is predicated on the Batute which invalidates any gaming contract. Their sheory is that, admitting all our facts, it was a shadow, hot reality; that it was evasive, a gaming transac- on, and not enforceable, That, he ciaimed, is the character in which they represent themseives in the transaction, and it they are to have the benefit of it let ibe cum onere. He contended, however, that as {ar as pinintit! was concerned they were dealing with no fancy orfiction, He was not seliing short, but had the money available, and, to show his dfsposition, deposited $60,000 t secure the contract. He ingisted, in conclu- Hon, that the case Was @ clear one, that the validity of the Claim could not be questioned, that it was a regular and legal business transaction on the part of the plain- \if, and that there could be no possible doubt of his being entitled to recover a verdict for the full amount tiated. Alter a statement by Mr. Shearman that Messrs, Gould avd Black were the only defendants who had been served in the case, Albert Speyers was called as the first witness, The defence objected to his testimony . on the ground that he was interested in the suit, being liable personally unless be was the agent of the defendants. The court so ruled, The plaintiff's counsel then banded witness a full release, and the Court held he was no longer i terested. This preliminary matter having been settled Mr. Speyers was allowed to proceed with his evidence, He testified that on that Friday moraing he was intro- duced to Smith at Belden’s office; Fisk and Gould were there; Fisk nodded to witness and said to Smith, “Here's Speyers;” Smith then directed him to go over and buy two millions of gold; he did so, and returned to the office and had a conversation with Fisk and Bwith, In resuming his testunony alter recess he went on to slate that on the previous day he went to Hoath’s office with Mr. Belden; Fisk, Gould and others were there; Fisk and Gould were sitting close to each pther; he ‘said he had about $2,000,000 of gold on band which he couldn'tloan; he thinks he addressed the gontiemen present; Mr. Fisk said —— Here Mr. Sheormam, who had kept up a running Bro of objections during the testimony, again jumped up and said “1 object.” The audience laughed, Ob- Jection overruled. Mr. Vanderpoel here objected that the testimony did pot apply to Mr. Black, as he was not there. Tho Court +0 ruled. Witness went on—Mr. Fisk said “Smith will take one million and you (Heath) the other; the reason he assigned for not being able to Joan was that Mr, Biwith had limited him. On Friday morning be met Gould and Fisk at Heath's office. Other gentiemen wore there. Fisk was in his irt sleeves. He said to witness ina pretty loud voice, over to the Gold Room; buy all you can get tor #145. The market price the day bet was L434 He made several operations, and the limit of 145 was reached bolore ten o'clock. At this time a slip of paper from Fisk was handed him, and he went on buying up to 150. He was tola to put it up to 150. He continued to’buy it up until it reached 160. During these opera- lions he went several times to Heath's office and re- ported what he was doing to Fisk and Gould. He was instructed by Smith, in the presence of Gould at Heath's office, to go on buying all he could Fetat 160. He accordingly went back and continaed biduing. He was threatened that he would be killed if be coutinned. Heath, who was on the Kachange, said “If you don’t want to buy more at 160, 1 wi Ne then went back and reported, aud Fisk said, ‘It is none pt your business; buy all you can get at 160, if gold was bo Ko down to pat Gould was lying on the sofa cov- ered with a big newspaper. He asked Fisk for a mar. gin, Fisk said it would be all right. Mr. Brown, trom whom he asked $7,000,000, asked for a margin, The Court here adjourned till this morning. DUNCAN, SHERMAN & CO. A new suit, growing out of the affairs of the late firm of Duncan, Sherman & Co. was commenced against the members of tho firm and creditors signing their peti Hon in bankruptcy, yesterday, in the United States Cir- tuit Court in this city.

THE LAWRENCE EXTRADITION CASE. Charles L, Lawrence, the alleged Custom House de- faulter, who some time ago fled to Europe and was subsequently returned to the United States under the Extradition Treaty, has, through his counsel, set up a plea against the jurisdiction o; the courts to try him for any oflence other than the one on which he was extradited, Decision on the case was yesterday filed in the United States Circuit Court, Judge Benedict, before whom argument was had, after stating that the indictment is for forgery, and giving a synopsis of the voluminous pleadings aud to tho facts set up in the plea to the jurisdiction, gives at length his views and rulings in the case, the following being an epitome of | iis opinion: | In disposing of the question argued before me I first notice the position taken, tat ail extradition proce: d- ings by their nature secure to the person surrendered immunity from prosecution for any ollence other than the one Upon Which the surrender 1s made. The ques- tion was decided im the Caldwell case, and has been sustained by the Court of Appeals of this State in the cause of Adriance vs. Lagrange, a civil case. Thus it will be seen that au offender against the Justice of his country can acquire no rights by detrauding that jus- tice, and no rights accrue to the offender by flight, He remains at ad times and everywoere liable to be culled to answer to the law wherever within the reach of itsarm, The stand taken for the prisover in this case is that immunity comes to him by the Treaty of 1s42, under which his surrender was tade, a law vind- ing upon the courts of the United States, ut there is no language in that treaty which can be supposed to confer the immunity here claimed. The language of the treaty that the offender shall be ‘* dehvered up to justice,” importing thatthe delivery is tor the purpose of public justice without qualification. The act of Congress of 1848 is expressly limited to cases of “lawless violence,’’ but it assumes as well that the offender shall be tried for the oflence upon which his surrender is asked, and does not protect uim from trial for other offences.’ The absence of a speciat provision indicating an intention to protect from prosecution for other offeaces !n a statute having no other object than the protection of extradition offenders is suflicient to deprive ot ail torce the suggestion that the act of 1845 gives to the t f 1s42 the construction con. tended for by the ai he provision of the act of 1848 is within the broad provision of the treaty of 1842, bat does not restrict it, and if 1 was intended to act it would have been plainly expressed. It would be ore dificult even io find support for the ce m_ the provisions of the British Extradition act of 1870. The Court takes the further ground that without action on the part of the treaty- making power of the United States the Parhament ot England vould not by 18 statute, passed twenty-eight Years after the treaty of 1542, engrait upon that treaty & provision of iinmunity not found in the treaty itsell, But here the question 18 not executive, but judicial, and itis whether the British act of 1870, by reason of its subject mattes becomes a law of the United States, nd thereby alfords a legislative construction of this treaty binding upon the courts of the United States, But the British uct of 1870 has noefees in England to limit the operation of thy treaty of 1842 as deciared by & decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, No such protection or imimunity as is claimed here is aforded, (Jadge Benedict cited the case of Hulbourne, sur- rendered by the United States upon the request of tho English auihorities, and who was tried for an oifence not provided for in the treaty, without interference on the part of the Executive there, and without complaint from the governmeat here.) There remains to be con- sidered that portion of the deience based upon the order of the President and the direction of the Attorney eneral, but these as set iorth in the plea have no legal effect to restrain or enlarge the jurisdiction of the courts confirmed by law, The courts in determining the extent of their jurisdiction look to the law, and within tht jurisd.ction they are absolutely free’ from the control of any other depatiment of the govern- ment, The correspondence between the President and Attorney Gencrai is all irrelevant and outside the case, With regard to the position taken in behalf of the de- fondant—that an exnross agreement was made between the government of the United States and that of Great Britain that the accused should pot, until he an Opportunity of returning to Her Majesty’s dominions, be detained or tried in the United states for any ot- fence committed prior to his surrender other than the crime of forging and uttering the bond and affi- davit on which his surrender was claimed—this is based upon a raie applied in cryiicases where a de- fondant has been invcighkd wathin reac of the process = of the courts, but = this rnlo has no appheation in criminal cases, The duty of the courts 1s stated by the Court of Kings Bench. (Scott's case). Scott was mdicted in England tor perjury and was arrested in Brussels with- out resort to extradition, and on ap} ish Ambassador declined to itertere a curried to Lo! Chiet Justice Tenverd the courts cannot inquire inte the cireamstan wineh the offender came within its jarisdietion, pheation the Brit- 1 Se These words, Judge Benedict said, express the opinion of this Court, A different rate would seriously embarrass the administration of the criminal law, and cannot be permitted to obtain here tion of a controlling auth diction and the other aside, with leave to the defendant to } charges. MATRIMONIAL ANTAGONISMS. Mrs, Maria Cwsar, the wife of August Cy a well known John street jeweller, commenced an action on the 3d of last August in the Court of Common Pleas tor an absolute divorce, alleging, a8 the ground of her complaint, the inddelity of her husband, Mr. ar denied the charge, and subsequently filed a bill to the jaris- hercloro, set d anew to the against his wile, claiming a divorce upon similar grounds, Counsel conseating, both cases, with the issues in vd, were referred by Judge Robinson to Riebard M. Henry, 44 reterce, to take the the case, The reieree proceeded to wake ti offered, Mr. David Levy appeal vidence in testimon unsel tor the wile, while Mr Wiliam inte: and youn ©, Mott acted as © tor bus. bund, The reserence steadily progressed, with more or Jess ner! exhibited on boil sic The retetee reported adversely op the applieation of Mrs. Cx which report was subsequently confirmed by Court. The bearing of the proois otiered by Mr, ar was then gone into, and now the referee has again reported to the Court, this time in favor of the husband, Mr, Cwsur. Mr. Kintzing, in parsuance of a previously # wige Van Brant. rt of Comin ithe feierce. The Coury contirmed the repert, directing t be entered a decree dissolving the mar. riage bebwoow the parties, aud permiying Mr, Cwsar + tirely applicable to the 8 to marry again, but forbidding Mrs. Czesar to do so until afier the death of Mr. Cwsar, The deeree further gives to Mr. Cwsar the custody of their three children, ane restrains the mother from any interference with them. A FORTUNATE WOMAN. Judge Dykeman, of the Supreme Court, has just ren- dered a decision in the matter of the Ward estate. Mr. James O. Ward, a wealthy resident of New York, died several mont 0, having a large estate. His sop, Charies F. Ward, who had been married but a fow months at the time of his father’s demise, became heir to $67,000. Before the settlement of the estate had been made, however, Charles died, Other heirs con- tested the right of the young widow and infant son of Charles to his sbare of the property, and the matter was brought before the Court. Judge Dykeman says, “Is the widow included in the term ‘next of kin’ as | used in the will Lthink the words must be held to have been used in a broad, comprehensive sense, as including all persons who would share in the estate of Charles F. Ward, under the atute of distribution by reason of relationship by jood or marriage. The term ‘next of kin’ has often received this liberal construction, and, in my should be so construed in thiscase, As 80 construc widow of Charles is entitied to share in the funil, as | the will provides that it must be divided equaliy, It follows she must have one-half and the child the other half, The judgment must be entered accordingly." SUCCESS OF SKILLED FORGERS. A suit possessing rather singular features came to trial yesterday before Judge Larremore, holding Su- preme Court, Special Term. The suit is brought by the Central Railrond Company of New Jersey and Joho Matthews against The Rockland County Bank. Accord- ing to the statement set forth in the complaint, it ap pears that on the Ist of November, 1872, Jobn | Matthews bought five $1,000 convertible bonds of tho New Jersey Central_—_‘Railroad, with the coupons attached; that the same | were recorded in nig name in the transior book, und | that in April, 1873, these bonds were ‘raudulently ob- tained Irom the company upon a forged check,” pur- porting to have been sighed by Mr, Matthews, the cer- lflcation of which was also a forgery, Subsequently two of the bonds were discovered to be in the pos- session of the Rockland County Bank, which refused to give them up, and hence the present suit. In the answer possession of the two bonds in question is admitted by the bank, but this bank also, according to its story, was the viciimn of a forgery, lis statement is that @ person giving lis name as Wm, J. Dix came to the bank and old to cushier that he proposed to make Nyack, the place where the bank is situated, bis residence, and that he would like to open an account with the bank, ‘This request was complied with, and the stranger thereupon deposited a check for $5,000 on the Market National Bank of this city, pur- porting to be drawn by G. B, Grinnell & Co. and made payable to his own order, This check was also certified and, as was the case with the previous check and certification, both proved to be forgeries. The stranger, however, did not wait the discovery of these important facts, but told the cashier that be lind to travel a good deat and would like to leave With the bank for sate- keeping two railroad bonds, and be thereupon pro- duced the two New Jersey Central Railroad bonds, the subject of the present litigation, The cashier accepted the bonus, and as tho stranger was a short of money, the latter asked as a mutter of accom- modation that Le would cash bis check for $800, which 0! course there could be no objection to, the bonds be- ing good, and ample security tor the amount, The Kockiand County Bank offered to give up the bonds on | payment of $800, which was refused the plaimufls pre- | ferring the risk and expense of a litigation, The trial | | will probably occupy a day or two, PURCHASES AT AUCTION. A case of importance to purchasers at auction wa decided yesterday by Judge Kelly, ot the Sixth Dis- trict Court, On February 16 the plaintif, J. Bosen- field, Jr., purchased of the defendants, Messrs. A. H. Muller & Son, at their regular sale at the Exchango, nine bonds of the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Company at $13 each. The Messrs, Muller refused to deliver the bonds, giving as a reason that payment for the bonds was tendered alter three o'clock, and that tue bonds were worth much more than the amount at which they were knockea down to Rosen field, The Judge decided that tender of payment at any time during business hours was regular and over- ruled the other point of defendants, and ordered a ver- dict for the plaintift for $261, the {wil umount claimed, with costs and allowance.’ Mr. D. S. Ritterband ap: peared for plaintil aad A. Prentice for defendants, “FERREOL” IN COURT. A bill of complaint has been filed in the Equity Branch of the United States Circuit Court by Isaac Car- villo and Chs, Rebello against Sheridan Shook and A. M. Palmer, proprié¢tors and managers of the Union Square Theatre, to restrain them from performing the play of “Ferreal,”” which the complainants say in its principal scenes apd incidents is the original conception and in- vention of the complainants, as embodied in their play of “Iudiserenen,”’ of which they hold the copyright. A preliminary injunction is also, asked for during the pendency of the case in the courts, SCIENCE IN THE COURTS. An interesting feature was the examination, yester- day, of Professor Doremus, the analytical chemist, in the suit of Funck against the New York Mutual Insur- ance Company, still on trial before Judge Sandford in the Superior Court, Ivis claimed that a certain check for $1,500, drawn by General Sturm, was altered by Spence Pettis, now serving out a term in the Massachusetts | State ‘Prison upon a conviction tor forgery. Vhoto- graphs of the check, maguitied to large proportions, were presented by the witness and shown to the jury, Every delicate line and shadow was revealed with un- erring nicety and distinction, The professor gave it as his view that the check bad beon tampered with, He also gave a statement of tho appearance of the check under a powerful microscope, This novel species of testimony created quite a sensation in court and promised the inauguration of a new era in applying scientific Knowledge to tests of this kind, in which the Jacts as aeveloped tell a story whose truthfulness can- | not be controverted, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

Sinnott, recently appointed a judge of the Marine Court by Governor Tilden, would, at a meeting of the judges some time this week, be assigned to regular court daty. Messrs.

Yesterday Angelo P, Agresta, the shipbroker, who _ on Thursday evening last caused the arrest of three Italian stevedores, on charge of conspiring to as- sassinate him, called upon Assistant District At- torney Snell, at the County Court House, and requested & pass to the Raymond Street Jail, to seo Henry Russco, a witness in the case, Mr. Agresta stated ‘that he had another important witness against the ac cused, aud he desired that they might be given per- mission to confer upon the subject. The desired privi- lege was accorded. The case in question, which comes up for examination before Justice Delmar, on | Friday next, is singular in incident and detail and — almost incredible. For several years past a spirit of | rivalry seems to have oxisted between certain Italian shipbrokers or boss stevedores of the port with regard to the preference im the loading and unloading of ves- sels of that nationality and of Austrian ships) The | complainant in this case, Agresta, who has an office in Pearl street, New York, and resides in Summit street, Brooklyn, is agent for four very extensive shipping — houses and he gave employment to stevedores. Those | who were unsuccessful in ingratiating theniselves into the good graces ot Agree! ‘ore to have revenge upon him. A society of ltalians for that object was, it is alleged, organized in South Brooklyn two or three years ago. Agreésta said “he could not give employment to on in his wonted course, providing for his | friends and guarding against bis enemies. He says his | footsteps were dogged constantly and he went about | armed and ready to defend bimseit in the day time, and at night he kept near his house, knowing the desperate ter and determination of his foes. On last Thuars- day eveuing he observed a man walking up and down 1n front of his house, and his suspicious movements in- | duced him to go out and accost the stranger. When | the latter was confronted by Mr. Agresta he turned pale and trembled, and upon recovering himself told him that he had been employed by certain Italians to | | shoot him. In proof of the assertion he handed the | man who was to have been his victim a loaded pistol, saying that he had been | paid $50 to carry out the design. Tne | Tepentant villain then gave the names of Henry Berti, No. 34 President str Salvador Grego, No. 64 Presi- dent stroet, and Felix Caulo, 27 President street, as his | employers. These men wero arrested, but were sub- sequently released ov bail to appear for examination by Judg json. The prisoners, who are intelligent look- ing men, deny the grave accusation, but the complain- en intimidated and believes is in danger of his lite. Now, he says, he asks that jus- tice may be done him, and be promises to prove clearly | betore the Court that the plot was laid to assassinate him. The men who work among the shipping ‘iong shore are greatly interested in the promised develop- ments of the vendetta RUMORED CANDY MAKERS’ STRIKE. It ig asserted that the candy makers in this city are about to strike for an increase of wages. The man- such action and no organization to carry itout, The men are very reticent, which looks bad.
