8 THE COURTS. ° Important Decisions in Suits Appealed to General Term. A Life Insurance Company’s | Flimsy Defence. | What Would Puzzle Even a Phila- delphia Lawyer. REE End of a Long and Hotly Con- tested Insurance Suit. ——— The opening of the April term yesterda; courts was in no especial manner memorab' in the | except | ing the handing in of batches of decisions im the Supe. | tior Court, General Term, and the General Term of the Court of Common Pleas, Accompanying nearly every decision was a written opinion, more or less volumi- nous, but of course the real points of interest in nearly all the cases have been pretty well exhausted through their publication pending trials in the lower courts. Below is given an epitome, however, of the moro im- portant opinions, Tho story ofthe arrest of Conrad Meyer, a liquor dealer, at his saloon, by officers of the Thirty-shird Police precinct, and bis imprisonment at the station | house in, as the complaint alleges, ‘a dark, cold and damp cell, without food or drink of any kind, tor the Bpace of fourteen hours,” was fully given at the time in the Hxravp. Seiling hquor without license was the charge upon which the arrest was made. Budsequently the officers making the were held to bail in $1,000 each on a charge of false Imprisonment, A motion to vacate the order of arrest was denied, but the bail was reduced. From this or- der an appeal was taken to the Superior Court, General | ‘Torm, which tribunal now allirms the order. A lengthy opinion in the case has been written by Chief Justice | Monell. He holds that if the arrest bad been made | when the offence charged was committed it would have deen proper and legal; that it could not be made prop- erly afterward without a warrant, Atter deprecating | and condemning the practice of using official power Where the law does not confer it he says that “the lib- erty of the citizen is too sacred to be lightly or care- | lessly interfered with, and the oflicers of police, how- ever necessary aud valuable they may be as conserva- tors of order and in the cuforcement of law, must keep themselves within the limit of the law and’not assume functions unless given in the law.” The wife of Lucas Thompson, pending a divorce suit, purchased some goods at Lord & Taylor’s, which were | Bburged to the busband and payment ‘of which he | Felused. [a the lower court, a suit brought against tho busband to enforce payment o! the bill was dismissed. The Superior Court, General Term, Judge Monell writ- | Jug the opinion, reverses this judgment and orders a | new trial, The Court holds thatthe divorce suit did | not bar the husband from ability; that she was stil | his wife, and that the wale to her of articles necessary | for her use, which her husband bad neglec:ad or re- | fused to pay tor, Imposed on him the obligasion of Payment. Stephen B. Brogen, an attorney, sued for services as attorney and for a portion of the roward offered ior the part recovery of the $1,520,000 worth of bonds stolen from the oillce of the late Kufus L. Lord, in Ex A verdict was rendered in bis favor, from the executors of Mr. Lord, ap- yb, the opinion being written by Wick, the Court aflirms the judxment, Court affirms the judgment given in favor of es G.

Inthe old suit of James Walter Bowne against ex-Sheriff O’Brien, | the judgment 1s reversed and new trial granted. ‘Tho leading case of interest decided in the Common General erm, was Luat upon & motion to dis- the recognizance of William J, Florence as y for Thomas C.

The kind of seed bought failed to produce a cabbage that would come to a head, so that Uhe cabbage culturer made but little headway in his tabbage speculation, although he has made pretty good headway in his present suit, LIFE INSURAN! COMPANY SUIT. In a decision given yesterday by Judgo Van Brunt Upon a motion heard before him at the Special Term of the Court of Commun Pleas he gives a pretty severo Tap at the flimsy defences often interposed by lite in- surance companies in suits brought against them to Tecover upon life policies, The case in question is a suit brought by Catherine M. Riley against the Security Lite Insurance Company to recover upon # policy of {usurance upon the lle of her husband. Among somo one bundred printed interrogatories required to be an- swered by the applicant for a policy is, “Have you vousulted a physician for any sickness for the past seven years, and, it so, state the particulars?” The busband of Mrs Riley answered this question neg- wiively. Aller putting in their answer to the com. | piaint the company, upon interviewing the family physician of the deceased, discovered that avout five | them that the testimony of the principal witness for | there be litigations in the courts against railroad core | | began yesterday, one Velore Judge Larremore, holding | negliger arrest | the Insurance Company, the first mate of the Keese, in- H asmuch as he confessed committing perjury, was to be | corroborative, and also that as little weight was to be given to the testimouy of the convicted forger, Spence | Pettis, without corroboration. The jury to-day, after | an absence of a little over two hours, brought in'a ver- | dict fyr the plaintif for $18,555 58 Judge Sanford de- nied ‘& motion for a new trial, but granted thirty days within which to prepare a case for appeal. SUITS AGAINST RAILROADS. AS long as railroads continue to run, and deaths and minor casualties continue to bea result, so long will | Pporations, The trials ef two suits of this character | Supreme Court, Circuit, and the other before Judge Sedg” | wick in the Superior Court. The first suit is brought | by Patrick Kinney, as the representative of his brother, | Charles Kinney, against the Long Island Railroad | Company. In this suit $5,000 damages are sought on | account of the killing of Charles Kinney. The testi- mony showed that the deceased, a boy twe track with several other boys when a trai ing by. Young Kinney failed to get out of the way and | thus came to his death. The , and the trial will pro ly occupy a day or twolon, |. Leslie fendant is the E. Weston is the second suitor and the de- levated Railway Company. | | He sued for $25,000 ges for injuries sustained | through slipping and falling on the platform ut the Battery terminus on January 3, 1873, causing a iracture of one of his legs, which confined him to bis bed tor eight months, and, as he further avers, disabled him for | life, The defence is that he was infirm and tame and | that the injuries were the result of his own negligence. At the close of the testimony for the plaintiff, a motion was le to dismiss the complaint, which was denied. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. | Tne jury calendar of the United States District Court will be called by Judge Blatchford this morning, | at eleven o'clock. ‘The argument in the Elevated Railroad Injunction matter, which was to have been opened yesterday be- fore Judge Van Brunt, of the Court of Common Pleas, was postponed til] to-morrow, In the libel suit of Augustin Daly against the pro- prietor of the Dramatic News a motion was made yes. terday before Judge Speir in the Superior Court, Spe- cial Term, to sirike cut defeodant’s answer as frivo- | | lous. The Court took the papers in the cuse, and mean- | time Judge Curtis, before whom was beard the motion to vacate the order of arrest or reduce the bail, an- | nounced his decision yesterday, reducing the bail to | 500, re William M.

He has a balance on hand of $19,283 43. In the sutt of Paulina Gossman against Julius Goss- map for divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment Judge Van Brunt yesterday denied Amonee for wlimoay and counsel fees on the ground that the usual rale in such cases should not be followed whero the action un be tried at once. He, however, decided tuat if there is a delay in the trial a sum for actual disbursement should be allowed. Application was made yosterday to Judge Barrett, in Supremo Court, Chamvera, by Corporation Counsel Whitney for leave to amend the answer to the suit of Anna Keilum, exceutrix of John Keilum, architect of | the Court House, tor $100,000 compensation alleged to be due the deceased.

In aevying the mution Judge Van rant, | iter reeiting the facts of the case as stated, winds up Lis decision ax follows :—There is not tite slightest pre- tence that thero was any fraudulent concealment upon the part of Riley or that the fact that he had taken medi. | cine for a cold from a physician would bave affected int slightest degre the merit of the application. All that can be claimed is that there is a technical violation of the warranty. It would be the groasest injustice to allow the defendant to escape from its just obligations, Decause at the time of bis application to be insured the applicant had forgotten that he had taken a pill five yours beiore, [thas beon claimed that an tmaurance | company can never insure a verdict froma jury, and ‘when we see ipsurance companies attempting to escape from their just obligations by the introduction of de- fences entirely without merts it i= not surprising that their defences are not regarded with favor hy juries. A LAWYER NONPLUSSED.

The defendant, in his answer, not only denied his lability for the debt and the valine of the services, but set ap acounter claim for money alleged to be due him by pleat: jor board amounting to over $800.

Another mouth has passed away and still no room has been provided for the accommodation of the second branch of the most important criminal court of she county of New York, Judge Gildersleeve yesterday formally opened Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions for the April Term and immediately adjourned till the 17th f tthe same time discharging the jurors who bad been notified to attend, Part 1 was then opened and a Grand Jury impanelied, with William H. Phillips, treasurer of the Produce Exchange, as foreman. in addition to calling the attention of the Grand Jurors to the statutes directed to be me taceng charged, His Honor | mado a iew practical remar! were called upon to perform. ‘Thore will come betore you,” said he, “two classes of criminals. There is \he hardened criminal who seldom reforms, no matter what punishment may be inflicted upon him, who serves his term of imprisonment only to come forth and commit new offences. It is very important that men of this class should be convicted han of boyond the reach of doing further mischiet. are disposed to foliow up acharge against such a 2 with more severity thaa others. Neveriheless, where a young man is tor the lirst time accused of some slight offence it is smportant thay he should be, if guilty, convicted of the oflence, however sight It may be the means of reforming bim, diverting him from the evil course upon which he has started, Therefore, listen carefully, gentiemen, to all cases, evon to those which seem to be of little consequence, for they may be of the grestest importance, not oniy to you, but to the whole community.

The Irwin case, after numerous postponements, was resumed yesterday at Mr, Vanderpocl’s law office. Judgo Fullerton commenced by calling Mr. Irwin, who being duly sworn, stated :—I am the defendant in this ease; I have exammed the books of the company and can expiain where a portion of $750,000 was paid back to the company. Mr. Fullerton asked what portion was paid back. Mr. Vanderpoel objected to the production of the books, Tney were not on hand and the witness re- sumed:—I had a conversation with Mr. Stockwell be- fore I recetved the cheeks for the $750,000 from Mr. Bellowes; Mr. Stockwell told me that the Board had passed a resolution authorizing him to spend whatever money was necessary; I spent the $750,000 according to the directions of Mr. Stockwell; I paid $211,000 to Charles Aberta, attorney of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, in Wushington; Mr. Cheever re- ceived, I think, $10,000; Samuel A, Hatch received $16,500, and probably $5,000 more; 8. N. Ingham re- ceived $5,000 from me; W. 8. King received $150,000; William Moran $15,000; John H. Rice $25,000; W. B. Shaw $5,000; C. H. Sherrill $16,500; J. G. Schumaker $300,000; A. H. Whiting $61,500; besides the above Mr. Randall received from me $39,500; Mr. Beret $3,000, Mr. Carnick $2,500; George H. Bradbury $10,000; Mr. Averill $1,000; Mr. Faul $2,000; Richard C, Parsons $1,500, Cross-examination was then commenced by Mr. Vanderpoel. He asked the witness to state what Mr. Stock said when he ordered witness to disburse the money? Mr Irwin replied :—My —_instrac- tions came in a letter which Mr, Stock- well wrote on February 13, 1872, and which I received in Washington; Mr. Stockwell never gave me any other special directions; the payment of $8,000 to Cheever was made in two parts; 1 first gave him a check tor either $500 or $2,500; 1 think it was in April, 1872; the second payment was made on the 27th of May in New York; it was either the 25th or 27th of May; I gave him a check tor $7,500 on the American Exchange National Bank; I think 1 gave it to him at the Hoffman House; the last time I saw that check was in San Francisco; 1 do not think mr, Cheever came on here at my request; I bad seen him that winter in Washington; he was a lobbyist; I do not know what he did for the company except by his own statements. Judge Vanderpoel—Do you know any member of Congress to whom Mr, Cheever paid money ? Judge Fullertou—I object, Judge Bixby—It is quite proper that they should show that tbe money was not given without an object. It might have been given away as a present, Witness—Of my own knowledge I ao not; I have known Mr, Cheever for several years; I did not take avy —— from him for either of the sums J paid; the first check was paid him before I received the +50, 750,000, Judge Vanderpoel—Then you must bave received other moneys from the company? Witness—Yes, sir; I received other moneys, but whether they came from the company or Alden B. | Stockwell, I cannot tell, Judge Vanderpocl—Then that first check was not a portion of the $760,0007 Witness—Yes, sir; it was, as it came from money Mr. Stockwell advanced, and which he afterward paid back; 1 cam show that Mr. Stockwell paid back $100,000 to the company. Judge Vanderpoel—-Whi Mr, Samuel B. Hatch? Witness—1 saw Mr, Samuel B, Hatch about a week ago; he then told me that he thought I had only paid him’ $16,500; when examined before Congress | stated that 1 believed I had paid Mr. Hatch $30,000; I paid the $16,500. in threo payments, the first of $1,000, about the 6th of ‘Maren, tn, Washington; the secund, of $4,000, about the 19th of March and the last was a check for $11,500; 1 think the checks were destroyed by me in August, 1873, in San Francisco; Ithink I had known Mr, Hatch about half an hour when I made the trst payment; | for that money; | made a bargayn with him when I made the first payment, agreeing to pay him $5,000 for his assistance in the passage of the bill through the House of Representa- tives; I made a second contract with him; I do not rec- ollect what the amount was; I recollect giving Mr. Hatch the $11,500 check at the Hofinan House; | think lid you pay the money to it was on ‘27th of May; Ido not think eny one was present n I paid it over; 1 was staying at that hotel ; lett New York the same day for San Francisco; I did not 20 back to Washington alter receiving the $750,000 checks; Mr. ‘& newspaper man and a I. do not know where he lived; saw him first in Washington in April; the $5,000 was pald to him San Francisco, August 1872; he gave me no receipt; Lt believe the check was destroyed in August 1873; 1 de- stroyed all my old checks and check books; some of the checks wero el; Id; 1 bad some other it was Des Moines; Ido not know what Paper he was connected with; I’ did not get any receipt trom Mr. King for the $150,000 I paid out, exoopt bis indorse- ment on the check; the jast check for $115,000 had no indorsement; 1 am sure I paid him $150,000; I put Mr. King down for $125,000 in my evidence before Con- gress; I patd him the $115,060 check either on the 27th or 48th of May, in Philadelphia, at the Continental Hotel; it was my own check, drawn on the American Exchange National Bank; he did not make any claim on he gave me no bill of stems; I knew that he wus employed by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’ before 1 came from San Francisco; 1 knew s0 | from the statement of the President of the | company, who caused me to be introduced to Mr. King I was directed by the President to give Mr, King what money he called for; 1 gét that direction in March, 1872; after the passage of the bill Mr. King told mé that was what he wanted; I do not recollect anything else he said; 1 met him alterward by appointment in Philadelphia; I gave him money before at different dates, nearly all of it by checks; I paid him in all $25,000 betore I gavo him the big check; I think the | first payment was $2,500 by a cbeck onthe American Exchange National Bank, e to bim in Washington in February, 1873; I think have destroyed that cheok ; the next payment, I think, was $2,500, paid on a check im February; 1 think I received $170,000 trom Mr. Stockwell before 1 received the checks for $750,000; 15th of May, 1872; 1 saw Mr. King before I destroyed the check ior $115,000; 1 think it was in March, 1813; I nave recetved no money from bim since I handed him that check; I gave him the first check a few days after 1 was introduced to um; T pald him the $150,000 dur- ing a period of four mouths; Mr. King was then Post- master of the House; [ paid Mr. Abert $125,000 and $10,000; I received back $19,600, paid in two sums, $18,500 and $1,000; they were deposited to my credit, and were returned in June or July, 1873; 1 remember | making a statement before Congress that Abert re: turned $100,000, dnd afterward $9,000; he returned me $100,000 on the 27th of May; I was with him at the time he drew that money trom the bank; | I purchased a draft from Lees & Waller, the proceed: of $140,000 in currency; I think the amount was $101,000, gold; a dratt tor $25,000 was also bought at the same time for Mr. Schumaker; I paid Mr, Whiting $61,500; I -bad known Mr. Whiting since January, 1872; be did not give me any bill for services ren- dered; he was to assist me in getting the subsia; through; he was to have $5,000 when the bill fasted and $56,000 later on; the first agreement was to pay him $10,000 per annum during the period the subsidy continued; that was based on our getting a subsidy of $500,000 per annum for ten years; the second agreement was that he should accept =a cash payment, arrived at by discounting | $10,000 per annum, for ten years, at seven per cent, Vhat left $56,500, winch be received; I think the whole of the remaining $43,000 was used to purchase a gold dra(t from the Bank of California; it helped to make up the $140,000 that purchased the draft for $101,000, gold; 1t was paid to my account in San Fran- cisco; I spent it in the interests of the company; 1 paid to Mr, Abert $125,000 on the 27th of May, $100,000 | of which he returned to me at the time of” the pay- ment, $10,000 which I sent him from San Francisco in June, and various small amounts which I cannot ex- | plain’ without examining the account; I never saw any money paid to him by the company; I suppose | saw the draft for $20,053 46, drawn by Eldridge and Irwin, agents, when it wax drawn; [ have since seen it at the | Pacific Mail Steamsnip Company's office; the tirst statement made to me by Mr. Stockwell was that he had arranged with Mr. King for his tance in the of the subsidy; ass passa, | he (Mr. Stockwell) alterward told me to settie with Mr. , King; he mentioned no amount, and, without further | instructions, I paid Mr. King; the tirst conversation I ; had with Mr. Stockwell in reference to Mr. King was in | January, 1872; my testimony betore Mr. Brownell is | correct in regard to the checks; I do not recollect see- jug Mr. Stockwell on the 23d of May, 1872; 1 did not see him on the 22d of May; Iaaw him on the 24th of | May in President's room in the Pacitic Mail Steam- | amp Company's oflice; as near as I remember Mr. | Stockwell said, “Mr, Bellowes bas the checks ready tor You whenever you want them;” I said, “Very well, I Will probably cail for them to-morrow,” Mr. Stock- | well then said, ‘I have been talking with the directors | And some of thom think we onght to have voucbers;” I said, “Mr, Stockwell, was thot the understanding bo- tween ust’? he turned his head ono side and J repeated th Wane and ho said, “Well, hen I sai was the understanding ?"? Jump sum when the bill 1 think we onght to have ap account,” [ ‘as itso understood?’ he said, “Well, not ex- I then asked bim whether he was going to pay the money or not; he said, “Well, it will not tak ive minutes; you will find the checks ready for you when to take them’? that ended the conversation ; the statement I made betore Congress is substantially correct; I vo not recollect when I saw Mr. Smith; Ido not think the Post Office Appropriation bill had passed at that timo; ft said in substance that the aidy pro- vided by the bill should only be paid so long as the teamship company then in operation should be ran- nin; A Th amination was then adjourned until next Fri- day at twelve noon, | tend the funeral, from BRAZILIAN STEAMSHIPS. / The agents of the New York and Brazilian Steamship Company contradict the rumor that their line is to be dwcontinued, All their vessels, they claim, will sail aa adver sed Coroner Ellinger yesterday held an inquest on the body of Hezekiah Stephenson, aged nineteen, who died last week at the Chambers Street Hospital trom a pistod shot wound.
