‘ “THE COURTS. The Fight Against the Gilbert Elevated Bailroad, PORTHER ARGUMENTS OF OPPOSING COUNSEL The Sixth. Avenue Railroad Only Clamoring for Its Chartered Rights. A HOMICIDE’S ACQUITTAL ‘Verdict That Recorder Hackett Did Not Approve. mat peouliar predilection of the profession, the dis- position to Indulge in long drawn out arguments, is baying extended to it evidently the broadest area of treedom in. the winding up of the legal coutroyersy bo- ‘ween the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company und the Gilbert Elevated Railway Company, which has been ogeupying the aitention for the past month of Judge Sedgwick, of the Superior Court. Alter having occu- pied @ good share of Tuesday in bit ‘gument on behailf of the Gilbert Elevated Ralway Company, ex-dudge Porter resumed his argument yesterday Morning, and excepting a long recess occupied the whole day till nearly four P. M. 1t was giving in eatenso the points laid down in his opening aldress— the necessity of rapid transit in this city and the per- fect’ legality of ‘the charter granted to the Gilbert Ele- vated Railway Company, the great medium through which this all-engrossing problem was sought to be solved, He discussed at great levgth the point ratsed that ip autborizing the use of sicum locomotives on the railroad, by ihe act of 1875, the Legisiature were ip tact bray 4 pew charter and passing a private railroad bill, contrary to the constitutional umend- went In reply be contended that (his was u mere ex- ererse of the inherent eves of the Legislature to alter of wodify charters; that the company and the charter remaiwed the samc, just as the Sixth Avenuo Ruil- road would if the Logislature compelled them to Substitute mule power jor horse power, and that the public good reyuires a iiberal construction to be given to the constitutional amendment. 1n conclusion ue gave a vivid picture of the benefits that would accrue to tue eity—benelits that the public had been long Beara ere) a for—if the proposed plan jor the bailding of the Gilbert Elevated Railway 1# pow fuliy cunsummated. In drawing this picture he moreover ‘contended that no harm would be done to the Sixth Avenue Company, the latter road would all the short riders and ladies ob their ily rounds of visits and shepping excursions, while men of business living remote trom tbe,great business centre of the city would take the elevated tfuins to save time, that to thein was money. Bx-Judge Comstock, on behalf of the Sixtn Avenue Railroad Company, began his reply, speaking ttll a f minutes of five o'clock, when. the Court adjourned. He began by modestly stuting that ho was no orator, 0@ Bratus wae, He tnen spoke of rapid transit as the idol of the hou He disclaimed . taking any issue “upon the asity of rapid transit. On the ‘contrary he was glad of the opportuniiy to irankly. and boldiy avow bis.approval of rapid transit. ‘There Was no denying tho fact tbat rapid transit was oat an‘imperative pecessity in this city, and made 80 by the almost unoxampled extent and rapidity of its th. But io perlectimg the plan. of rapid transit ‘rights of citizens, as guaranteed them in the con- stitution and iu tho iaws, must be preserved ‘inviolate. When you attack the guarantees to the right of proporty you attack the soundations of all civil hberty.: While, therofore, there was a right way of accomplishing rapid transit in this city, there was a wrong way, and ono of the wrong ways, be claimed, was to build in the manner’ 0 an elevated railroad on the track ofthe Sixth Ay@nue Rallroad Company. and thus not only deprive the latter road of its Chartered rights, but strike at the very foun of operty and chartered rights. After citing various authorities he stated that on the other side it. wes asked, with great emphasis, What ‘was the contract which they set up bore? His answer was ~that~ the cuntract was’ one allowing to occupy the public high- that how right tenance of their contract ‘with the city, apd that this was all they asked for in their present suit. He will resume his argument this morning. ‘The suit brought by the N.

The facts, aa developed before the.

Jnder the old trustees were appoimed to carry out the Ree gone which ‘was paid ip part’ Tne new creditors, their assignee, while endeavoring to prove their own debts in the last bankruptcy, were met by » claim of the trustees for old creditors who wished to prove claim of about $263,000, being the deficiency, or forty per cent of their original clauns, which, lope | argue, rev:ve agaist the bankrupt, aud they insisted that they hada right to participate in new assets acquired after the old adjudi- cation. A motion was made before the Register in Bankruptcy, on the part of the new assignee, by Henry Daily, Jr.. counsel, to expunge the claim and prool, which was granted, and the trustees for the old creditors ied to Judge Benedict. On ,the appeal William Strauss, of counsel for the new creditors, claimed that assets hag atter the old adjudication ought in equity to belong to them, as they created the fund itself, and that the old creditors uld only bave a secondary claim on new assets alter e new obiigations were and there were a surplus, op the theory that having two funds, the old assets and contingent new assets, they must not in the first instance aeprive junior creditors of their only fund,’ Mr. Daily, for the new assignees ip bankruptcy, argued that the old adjudication barred old creditors from appropriating new assets, and that a discontinu- ance of old proceedings would allow old and new credit- ors to participate equally in all assets. Tho old credit- ors, appearing by A. Blumenstiel and Charles Jones, claim that, so long as there 18 no discharge under old bankruptcy, their balance of claims revives against any new assets of the bankrupt. ‘At the close of the. argument Judge Benedidt took the papers, reserving his decision. .
