ev , the Marine Court against Mr, Scott for malicious pros- the Supreme Court yesterda THE COURTS. Trials and Tribulations of a City Contractor. Avalanche of Witnesses in the Rapid Transit Suits. Disappointed Expectations of “Shiver My Timbers,” Entry of Formal Verdiet in the Spring Valley Distillery Case. Michacl Noonan, in November, 1870, made a con- tract with the city for building sowers and culverts through various streets from Sevonteenth to Twenty- third street, inclusive, the work to be completed in 200 days. Tho total value of the work done, according to Mr, Noonan’s bills, was $229,476 64, The city, how- ever, fixed it at $224,695 84, of which, after dancing attendance on the Comptroller sometimes fur six months at atime, Noonan finally received $160,712 66, Weaving a balance of $69,227 98 due The contractor eompiains that the city oificers delayed his monthly Gertificates sometimes to seven months; that the plans were altered by caprice or favoritism; that he was compelled to sink a sewer along Eleventh avenue two feet deeper than agreed upon, and then the city officials semysties him to ratso it two fect again, and that all ‘the delays wero caused by the officials, The city answers that it is entitled to deduct $3,387 17 from the balance, as interest due on the ad- vances. The plaintiff denics that interest should be beyond the completion of the work; but tho Comptroller wants interest up to the contirmation of the assessment, and Mr. Strahan; counsel tor Noonan, says the Compitroiler never made any such claim except (in this and another case; that if this were lawful a city official, having enmity against a contractor, could delay the copfrmation vf the assessment until the thirty per vent returned by the Comptroller was consumed in in- terest. The city also makes a ctiarge of $10,000 for in- Bpectors’ fees; but Mr. Noonan saya three of the tnupesions were merely nominal, being put on the pay rolls by Mr. Tweed, and he claims that he sbould not be charged for their salaries, The trial of tho suit brought by Mr. John R, Fellows, as assignee of Mr, Nownan, for the amouut claimed to be due, was com- jeod yesterday before Judve Larremore, holding reme Court, Circuit, and will probably oceupy the Test of the week. SLOW PROGRESS IN RAPID TRANSIT. A growing monotony begins to show itself in the continued testimony given before Judge Sedgwick, in Supreme Court, Special Torm, in the trial of the Sixth Avenue Railroad injunction suit agamnat the Gilbert Ele. vated Railroad Company. Notwithstanding this fact, however, the court room was densely thronged, a8 usual, and the cumulative testimony offered on bebalf of the Sixth Avenue Railroad as to the probable effect upon the horses of that company of the running of an ele- vated road over the track of tho plaintiffs’ road was ned to with a good deal of interest. James R, Wallace, foreman of the Ninth Avenue Railroad stables, the tirst witness called, testified that the horses under bis hg tien became so frightened as to fall down, tear shoes off, Jump around stable, aud frequently sustained serious injuries, od all on account of the Elevated road runnin; their cars and engines over their stables. Hoe state: further that conductors, passengers and drivers were much annoyed ‘by oil dripping tro the engine and soiling their clothes. There Were twenty-two additional witnesses cailed, including Bernard J, Kelley, Jacob Sharpe, Charles Cottrill and Jobn M. Ackerman. The witnosses comprised prop- erty owners along the road, railroad eugineers aud fatlroad con ra and drivers, Tho most importaut feature of the testimony was that setting forth the re- duction in the value of property on Sixth avenue in fave the Gilbert Elevated Ratiroad Company is allowed to build its road in the manner pro} rd. Contemporancous with the above trial is tho trial before Judge Van Hocsen, in the Special Term of | the Court of Common Pleas, of the injunction suit brought by the Ninth Avenue Raiircad Company agaioss the Greenwich Strect Elevated Ratiroad Company, ‘There is the same variety of witnesses 1m this case and their testimony is simply further confirmation of t allegations sect forth im the compiaint. Among the witnesses examined yesterday was Vol'oe Commis- sioncr Nichols, In this suit seventy-seven witnesses have thus far been examined, and this is said tobe only the beginning of the beginning. A BLOW AT GREAT EXPECTATIONS, One day while Archibald Scott, a tea merchant in Duane street, was sitting quietly in bis store, aman dressed in the uniform of a foreign steamship officer fame into the place and offered for sale some shawls which he represented to be pure Cashmere and worth $150 a piece. This strange visitor sata that his vossel was to leave right away for China and that he would peli them at a great sacrifice. Mr. Scott purehased two {the shawls, paying, as he ascertained upon |bso- uent inquiry, aboat three times their value. F that he had been victimized he kept. a sharp lovl out for the swindler, and subsequently mee ing him on the street caused bis arrest, the prisoner giving his name as Jonn Rodgers. Police Ju herwood discharged Rodgers on the ground thi ere was not sufficient cause for holding bim on a eriminal charge. Rodgers thereupon brought suit in 1g to a misunderstanding between coun- scl Mr. Scott's lawyers failed to appear and a judgment was entered against bim for $750 Jor default, fault was opened by Judge McAdam and the case came to (rial yesterday before Judge Sinnott. It was proved that this was an old game of Rodgers, who was widely known under the sobriquet of “Shiver My egg and that he was not to be believed under oath, Tho result was a verdict for Mr. Scott. William ¥F. Howe, plaintiff's attorney: Messrs. Kintzing & Mott, do- feudant’s attorneys, THE SPRING VALLEY DISTILLERY. In the case of the United States against tho Spring Valley Distillery, Rockland county, to recover on a jaim of forfeiture of the reat estate, the trial was be- pun yesterday before Judge Blatchford, in the United States District Court, The real estato is valued at $40,000.

THE TRIAL OF THOMAS BATTELL CONCLUDED— FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE--THE PRISONER REMANDED FOR SENTENCE. The trial of Thomas Battell for the murder of Ann Hammar, at Harlem, in March last, was re- sumed yesterday in the Court of General Sessions, Part 1, before Recorder Hackett, The proceedings were delayed some time, owing to the absence of one ofthe jurors, The court room was crowded, as on tho day preceding, and the result of the caso was awaited with terest, Assistant District Attorney Russell ap- peared for the prosecution, the prisoner being de- fended by Mr, William F. Kintzing, by whose side the prisoner sat with a look of perfectly stolid indifference. It will be remembered that the prisoner denied 10 gen- eral terms apy compligity in the murder, and ex- plained tho statements he had made in the presence of the police officers by saying he was so bewildered at The tollowing i 16, 1876:—Noz. 147, | the time that he would have returned thoughtless an- swers to any questions put to him. The prisoner's wife and a namber of friends were present in court, as also the five children of the murdered woman, ali of whom were dressed in deep mourning. THE PRISONRR CROMS-EXAMINED The prisoner, on crosé-examination, testified that the stockings and the handkerchiel founda on his per- son marked with blood were unaccountable to him; ne did bot know why he put the clean stockings in nis pocket, but thought he bad put them there in his hurry tn leaving the house; when he heard the knocking atthe door by Mrs, Freeman he had his stockin; his hand; he remembered at Jeast four distinct knock- ings at the door, and then heard girs, Freeman say, “0, my God;” he then ran out of the house, and went to the corner of 109th street; he then saw a woman and followed her; he did #0 because he thought It was Mrs, Freeman; bis reason tor leaving the house was that he thought some tramps might have been in the house; he did not remember that any priest was in the house when be was taken to view the body, and did not recotlect that he told Captain Robbins that he bad been adviced not to say anything, or that he had any fight with Ryan. Rey. Hugh Flattery was next examined. He sald ‘that he was near the house where the homicide was committed; he had heard of it, and asked if the woman was dead, and the privoner answered, “Yes, she is dead; be then went into the room and saw Mra, But- toll and tolu her and the prisoner to keep quiet and not anytbing until he was bade to do 80; the prisoner med very much disconcerted. To Mr. Kintzing—I 4id not know the prison viously. pre- ‘THE PRISONER'S WIFR ‘was then placed on the witness stund. In reply to Mr. Kintzing she said that tbe bloody cuffs found in the pocket of the prisoner were shown her. Shy that she had never seen them before; that sti made t band, 0 she could not havo made the cufls in question, THE PRISONER'S CHARACTER. Mr. Mark E, Green, a muster painter, testified 0 the prisoner bad worked for tim for neariy twelve years; be had always regarded lis charucter'as good; did not know he was a drinking man. The evidence of this withess was corroborated by his son. The other witnesses who also testilied to his good character were Denis jan, Felix B. Fort, John Smith, #rederick Skinner, Patrick Martin, James Rogers, Leonard Kt. Wells, Joseph Hagar and Lewis Genge. THE ADERESS FOR THE PRISONER, Mr, Kintzing then addressed the jury on behalt of the prisoner, and evidently made an impression ov those in court by the subtlety of his argameat and the eloquence of his closing remarks, He first referred to the different theories suggested by the four counts in the ipdictment, and demonstrated how utterly futile it ‘was to evolve trom them any rational supposition ot the guilt of the prisoner. There was no circumstance to show that this crime was committed by Batteil; not a partiole of evidence to sustain. « yciun of malice reponse, ani the idea of compassmhg the death of rs Freeman was the creation of a fe ; Counsel th relied upon he pt to support the charges im the indicument, deavored to reconcile them with the innocence of Bat- and excited remurks were made susceptible of a similar explanation. ‘The blondy shirt, the cuffs, as cut off and stneared with biood, and the stockings, stamed aiso with blood, were referred to In succession, and, by a process of revsoning that was rather sobtie, pictured os being thrown hastily together by the real offender m order to fix suspicion on the soner, and irom a similar mouve alle we deposited brs = untortanate chent’s pock while he Was partially mtoxicated.

Mr. Kintzing concluded and touching appeal to the jury on th important issue now placed in their bands, where {! Prerogative of life and dcath to the accused might said to be exercised by them, Whether doomed to 1 gallows or consigned to a telon’s cell his fate would be gloomy in the extreme. and would affect his wite and relatives most painfully. He therefore entreated a carotul sifting of the evidence and mature deliberation on the result, and that where any douot arose the Prisoner would be allowed the benefit of it, AVTER RECESS. Assistant District Attorney Russell summed up on the part of the prosecution, He contended that tho case was extremely simple from beginning to end. There was nothing complicated about it, and if apy doubts prevailed in the inipds of the jury as to the guilt of the aceused, the doubt must have been dissi- pated and solved by the testimony of the prisoner on the stand. fis explanation of his movements on the day of the paintul occurrence could only produce one impression, and that unfavorable to the prisoner. The most able and lourned judges have expressed the opin- fon that circumstantial evidence is more reliable than direct evidence. Counsel here cited several eminent authorities in support ot his opinion, and then pro- ceeded to review the evidence, submitting that it was clear throughout and implicated the prisoner in the terrible crime with which be was char; Recorder Hackett then ch teristic terseness and impart the questions at is in the main poin Ubat they had but one testimony adduced against the prisoner, while on the other band, if they had any well founded doubt on tho — the prisoner was cutitled to it, The jury retired shortly alter threoo’ciock, and after < abaence of about half an hour brought ina verdict o ju y with charac- ty, defining the law on them MURDER IX THE SECOND DEGR on the annonucement of which there were manifested the usual whisperings of opinion incident to such occa- sions. The children of the murdered women, ho sever, became greatly excited and screamed loudly, Two of them made a franuc rush at the jary us they left the jury box and came very near scratching out the eyes of one of tho jurymen. The verdict took everyboay by surprise. The prisoner seized his counsel by the hand and thanked bim warmly for having saved him irom the gallows. After the excitement had subsided the prisoner was remanded and will be brought up this Morning for sentence. A CRAZY WOMAN’S COMPLAINT. Some four days ago an elderly lady, who gaye the name of Mrs. C. ©. Allen, appeared before Justice Duffy, at the Washington Place Police Court, and asked that a wi nt be issued for the arrest of Mrs, Ammerman, keeper of a fashionable boarding house in East Eighty. sixth street, Justice Duffy granted a summons in the case, which was served on Mrs. Ammorman. Mrs, Allon then applied for subpeenas for witnesses whom she wanted to testify, and it was then discovered that she was eccentric, as among the persons she de- sired to have m attendance were the late A, T. Stewart, Johan Jacob Astor, Prosident Grant and Charles Sumner. Yesterday afternoon Mrs, Ammerman appeared at court, accompanied by Mra, Jobn A, Kennedy, wile of the late Superintendent Kennedy, Mrs, Loril- lard, atid a number of other prominent fadies. Mra Ammerman said that Mra, Allen came to board with her and owed $25. She ordered her to leave and sho did leave, her clothes and trunks remaining benivd, Miss Linda Gilbert, the founder of the prisoners’ libraries through the country, was examined, and tes lifled that Mrs, Allen had called on her end said she had been assaultod by Mrs. Ammerman, who detained her clothes; she called on Mrs.. Awmerman, who re- coived ner in a ladylike manner and gave her the clothes, saying she was glad to get rid of them. Mra. Kennedy ond Mra, Lorillard toatified as to Mra. Am- merman’s character in the hivhest terms of oommen- dation, Justice Duffy discharged Mra. Ammerm: expressing his regret that his oflicial duty bad required him to compel her attendance at court, MUNICIPAL NOTES.
