A CHARACTERISTIC REPLY BY MR, CO + Mr, Conger, Mr. Cannon and Mr. Cox Produce a Laughable Entertainment. BENATE, Wasiincros, August 8, 1876. The Sonate resumed the consideration of the zrfn- {shed business, being the resolution of Mr, Morton to print 10,000 copies of the Message of the President and Accompanying documents in reference to the recent irouble at Hamburg, 8. C, Mr. Earox, (deni.) of Conn., resumed his remarks from the point where he suspended yesterda: gaid there was one thing over wh and that was that no democratic the occasion of attacking the character of either of the hominees of the republican party. Hic recoguixed these Rominees as gentle highly respectable ehar- tcter, and, so lar as he knew, highly respectable in pot of ubility, The candidate of the democratic pariy for President stood high before the people, and Qo words of his (Mir, Euton’s) could elevate him in the minds of the people. Ho had a word to say, howeve iu regard to the democratic nominee tor Vico Pre dent, because be had been the object of abuse on this The honorable Senator trom Vermont (Mr. Ed- Mmunds) had attempted io convince the Senate and whe tountry, not that there had beon a horrible outrage at Hamburg, but that the democratic candidate for Vice President was not honest, and if elected would not ad- Minister the laws of the United States, That was a dold charge by the Senator, who pointed to his books when he made it und-satd he quoted from the record, What record’ The record of the votes of an honest Dian in this chamber?

Did anybody viame im jority Did anybody blame him for the ‘position he oecupied ten or eleven years ago? Certainly not; ho houest man coubk Did houest man blame Mr. Henaricks for the position he occupied ten or eleven years got Certaniy not. Mr. Hendricks when he voted against the cunstituuonal amendments did hot elieve the Alrican race were capable ol self gov- ernment, neither did the senator from Ludiana at tbat ui Mr. Hen Accepted the amendments to the constituuon. He a gued that the detmocraue purty in tue North bad al- Ways been true to the coustitubon. If any republ.can Senator could say the republican party was true to the constitution from 1856 to 1866 let him say so, ‘The Senator irou Vermont (Mr, Edmunds) had dwelt upon the word rebel; 18 seemed to be a sweet morsel for him to roll under his tongue. The term rebel oughe not to be howled on this floor by anybouy, It was dene only to taunt the representauves of the Southern staves. It was to which might not be pleasant to the people of the North, He then referred to the argument of Mr. Edtnunds, in regard to the State of Texas char its constitu: Hon, and said the peopie of a State had the right to call & new Convention to irame a pew constitution, When she people o: New York desired to change her consti- tuvon, Tildeo, Seymour, Conkling, Kernan, Morgan And other great men determined the matter, and hot the Senator trom Vermont ‘The ‘sove- reign State of ‘Texas saw Mt, to exercise her right, and the Convention was calied by & majority of 50,000 of her people. Tho honorable Sen- ator trom Vermont bad argued that Texas promised to give one-iourth of all ner taxes for edacation, as a con- dition upon which she should come back Into the Union, Mr. Eutou-then askex if Toxas was over out of Tuion, and suid he thought not When the State thought p to chaaze Ler constitution it did not become the Senator trom Vermout to tak about a dem- cratic majority in the State being reorganized rebel- hon. Mr. Eaton then quoted irom the Washington Republican, of Uns date, 9 show that the democratic party careied the election in Alabama yesterday by $0,000 majority, aud said:—‘‘Let the honorable Sen- ator irom Vermont weep. ‘There was nota Tage, buta tair, honest, yood election.

Mr. Cox, passing from this pomt, again indicated the speech made by Mr, Hale as not being worth answer- ing, deciaring that it was nothing but a litle micro- pic fault-Hnding with the House and with the con- | duct of the Speaker in the arrangement of his commit tees irom a sectional standpoint. Mr. Hatk—I wade no sectional reflection on the Speaker, 1 only clatmed that he was impelied by bis rty. Mr. Cox—Now, sitdown, and perhaps you will feel better after that remark. (Laughter.) Now, in answer to this remarkable — which may be called a carnate inaptitude, this House cannot be reproached session, and when the doors were reopened adjourned, | for anything except the indiscretion of some of its ap- HOUSZ OF REPRESENTATIVES. * ‘The Houso resumed tne consideration of the Bland Silver bill, whereupon dilatory motions were set on foot by Mr, Odell, of New York, and Mr. Pierce, of Massachusetts, in order to consume the morning hour, At the close of the morning hour Mr. Bland, of Mis sourl, announced his willingnows to allow any amond- ments to be added to the bill, but his proposition wa not acceded to by the opponents of the bill ‘MB MALE ON GENKKAL POLITICS. Mr. Hate, (rep.) of Me., obtained the floor by the parhatnentary device of calling up the motion to re- consider tne vote by which the President’s message on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was referred some time since to the Committee on Appropriations, and he proceeded to make a speech on the subject of general politics, Discussing the controversy between the House and the Senate, he asserted that it had never been the case and never would be the case that the popular branch of the Amorican Congress, when committed to ony just measure of reform, apy wide-reaching ques- tion which met with the approval of the people, could be stayed either by the Senate or the Executive, In that regurd, whcnever that question and that time should be reached, American history would duplicate English history, and it would be found that with the House arrayed tor the right and the Senate or the Ex- ecutive arrayed for the wrong, the Senate or the Exeeu- tive would and must yield, Tbe dominant party in the House of Representatives had such an opportunity aflorded it when it assembled last December as no party | Had ever had. That party had been elected on certain promises of reform on questions of civil service retorm, of relict from taxation und other broad aud geueral questions He reminded the House of tne spectacle which the city of Washington presented to the country at the meeting of Congress, when the stroets and hotels were crowded with applicants for the 800 offices in the House. Ile referred to the frst official act of the House in tho selection of its Speaker, of the | committees, and he showed tbat of the thirty-lour standing commitees the chairmanship of tweuty-oue was given to members from the section of country for which Mr. Lamar claimed the other day so much modesty, He also commented on the changes made in the personnel of the officers of the House, illustrating that qu stion by the House Post Office appoiutinonts, the Postmaster of the last House, who had lost his log in the Union ariny at Kenosaw, having to make way for one who had been captured in the rebel army and had served with J. EB, Stuart’s raiding cavalry, and the subordinates (most of them old Union soldiers) having to make way for othera, seven of whom had served m the rebel urm, Ho also noted the removal of the veteran Journal Cier! of the House, Mr. Barclay, and his being replaced by a man who unmediately set to work to make merchan- dise of his office. ‘On this joint ho was corrceted by Mr. Harrison, of Iilinow, and Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, who 're- od hima that Mr. Barclay had resigned; but to this eplied that the resignation was Because Mr, Barctay’s trusted ussistamts had = been re- moved upd he knew that bis time was soon to come He also aliuded to the discipline necessary to apply to many of the new officials, specifying the Journal Clerk, who had succeeded Mr’ Burclay ; the Doorkeeper, the clerk of the Miliary Aifuis Committee aod the clerk of tne Cominittce on Ways aud Yeans, who bad been con- victed by the New York Tribune’ of baving named Lis innocent ehild after the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, He confessed that the moment the chairman of tre smmittec of Ways and Means—a fair and honorablo man—became convinced that the charge was truo be sent the clerk reeling from the door of his commitieo room, He then spoke of the great public questions with which the House should bave deait—questions of nance, curreney, commerce, &c, but whieh it had ignored, preferring to embark in a.wild crusade of in- Vestigation. In connection with these investigations he relerred to the seizure or toegruins, and de- clared that the committce whieh had been guilty of that setznre had no more right to those telegrams | than it bad to bis purse, and that it had gained posses- sion of them in no better way than uf its members had | stolon into his house, hid under bis bed and listened to all his secret conversation. One of those telograme ‘hus seized had been from the wile of a Cabinet Minis- ter to her husband, teihng bim of a baby and some domestic matters; but the committee had sent for that Cabmet Mivister abd scriousiy demanded the cipher key to that despate. There never had been such a ridicu- Jous display since “Serjeant Buztuz’s” tamous specch on mutton chops and tomato gauce,” Passing un to the question of economy, he asserted that there were more committee clerks 19 this House than in any re- publican House, that the expenses of the numerous committees were ehormous, that Instead cf two steno- gtaphers to committees at former sessions be had | counted up seventeen of them at tl ession. He | ventured to say that the additional expense caused by | this House above the ordinary expenses of 1ormer years would aggregate in the neighborhood of $1,000,000, He udmitted that reductions in eneral appropriations would reach $26,000,000, but tor that the consular and diplomatic system had been put m peril, the navy and the army had been put on short commons, sinull salaries had been reduced, and ina few days a thousand helpless men and women would be turned out on the streets of Washington. had admitted $25,000,000 of reduction of the public bur- dens, He admitted no such thing. No man could tell what credit was to be given to this House nutil the clos- ing day of its session, on the 4th of March, 1877, There haa beon some desirable reductions in wtich he was glad to have Lelpod; but, when it was found how much these $25,000,000 was simply a postponement of necos- sary expenditures, then sore better measure of credit would be given to this House. He spoke of the South- which are pending, which he asserted gare $160,000,000, and would go through if would ager fF the democratic party obtained possossion of all branches of the government. THK SOUTHERN CLAIMS, rep.) of Ob.o, asserted that the pend- mostly entering wedges, and that all tho Southern claims would eventually aggregate $500,000, 000, Mr. "Haus (continuing) said that it was intended that the North should pay these bills, and that ho who lived long enough wou d see—provided the democratic party gained power in all branches of the goverumen.—that that was the case. At this point of his speech Mr, Hale’s hour oxpired, and a Motivn to extend his time was objecced tu by M Singleton, of Mississippl, to whom Mr. Hale had, in the course of his speech, declined to yield, He, bow: ever, obtained permission to have the rest of his specch printed inthe record.

All that he (Mr. Haie) bad said House and its organizauion was that the com had been badly made up by the Speaker, He (dir, Cox) would not e present House with the up by the distinguished eitzen of Maine (Mr. Blame), hough be beleved that outeof thirty-seven onair- manships only seven had boen given to the South, the government works had been cut off, | It might be said that ho | | i | | | ' | | ees of the | County, to seven yes ag made | Prison tor robbery in the first degree. | and water. | convicts, pointees und they were removed. THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING, In the course of woother digression, Mr. Cox ran against the government printing office and the reap- puintment of Mr Clapp, und ho asked Mr. Hale whether he approved of Mr. Clapp's reappointment. Mr. Halo'x unswor was that “Certainly, he did.” “Then,” said Mr. Cox, “you are the last man who should’ have made sucha speoch as you have just made,” WHISKRY TRIAL REMOVALS. Then he digressod again to the removal of Mr. Pratt from the office of Commissioner of Interral Revenue and ihe appointinent of Mr. Raum to his place; and he said all that Mr. Raum was known for was the fact of his sending a telegraphic despatch congratulating somo members of the Whiskey Ring on their acquittal He was reminded by Mr, Conger, of Michigan, that Mr. Raum bad served with Mr, Cox in Congress, und he was also assured by Mr Cannon, of Minois, that there wus nothing in, the character’ and reputation of Mr. inconsistent with that of being an honest man. Mr. Cox inquired whether that was not the sume with Mr. Pratt, of Indiana, Mr. Caxnon—I understand so, Mr. Cox—Then why was one put out and the other putin? Mr. Caxyon—I am not speaking of that matter. SHAKK NOT THAT LITTLE FINGRRE. Mr. Cox (interrapting)—Ob, 1f you shake your finger at mo in that way (alluding to a ‘marked peculiarity 10 Mr. Cavnon’s style of oratory) I cannot let you go on. I get scured about that. (Loud laughter.) It the gen- tlemman will put his hand im his pocket he may go on. Mr. Caxxox accepted the ludicrous condition, put both bis hands in hts pockets and went on with the eulogy of Mr, Raum, but his inveterate habit imme- diately got the better of him, and he. was again ponung his objectionable finger at Mr, Cox, when Cox broke noo isig remarks, claiming that the ‘conditions bad been ed, and resumed the floor amid grout laughter. ed the republican side of the House with tood by the udmtnistration im the removal of Jewell, Pratt, Blutord Wilson, Yarvau and all that tribe of men who were trying to enforce the laws and ‘Clapp 8 the retention — of and Babcock, but said he, Grant your representative man, Babcock ‘is your sentative man; Bristow is pot your repre- sentative man, oF he would not “have been discarded here and at Cincinnati, and when you say that it has cost us $1,000,000 for investigations you thereby do credi: to the ‘democratic side of the House for undertaking, with ali the force of Hercules, tho cleaning of these augean stables, You tilibustered yesterday again und again to prevent reports of these Investigations, und to-day, to make up tor all of your delinqucucies as public servants, the gentleman iro Maine gets up avd makes that sort of a specch whiel Miraboau once described as angry, imbecile, tearful and crazy, and with that remark I conclude mine to-day, ‘The political discussions then went over to Dé re newed to-morrow.

Stokes grows terribly impatient and can hardly brook prison treatment or partake of its tare for the short time remaining of his three years term of tm- prisonment, Happening to visit Aubarn Prison to-day a HeraLp representative, while conversing with ‘Warden Dunston, saw the conviete file from their work- shops in gangs of fifty and proceed to the large dining room iu single rank, each prisoner resting bis hands on the shoulders and keeping his eyes intently fixed upon the neck of the one before him. There were, perbups, thirty such gangs as these, following in regular order from different parts of the grounds, It was a study io wateh the faces that passed im such rapid succession, The third man in the last gang was distinguishable for a peculiae bearmg, which at once attracted the attention of visitors, and upon closer scrutiny the resemblance ot Kdward 8 Stokes, the society man of six Yours ago, and the dejected \conviet of to-day could be seen, though now he looks as if he was indeed a physical wreck. His hair bas turned gray—almost white. STOKKS? COMPLAINT. After dinner Stokes obtained permission and was brougnt to the Warden’s office, Accosting the Warden in a cold and rather formal style, be complained be- cause he had felt unwell on Monday morning and had not left his cell when it wae opened by the keeper. Under ths rules the door was then locked. He was compelled to stay there all day und to subsist on bread ‘This was the basis of bis complaint, to which the Warden repiied:— “Tean’t show you any more favors, Stokes, than the commonest conviet in the piace.’? Well, you can at least allow me to deposit some money in the clerk's oltice,” Stokes suggested, ‘to purchase necessaries.” ‘No, sir, I can’t allow it’? “Sly lume expires on the Sth of September, Mr. War- nd I want to let my whiskers grow in tho mean- Will you grant me permission to do that 1” “Your tine does uot expire on the Sth of September; not until the 23d of October,” was the reply.

A MEETING OF THE BAR—TRIBUTARY SPEECHES TO HIf MEMORY—RESOLUTIONS OF CON- | DOLENCE. Pursuant to call, a meeting of the Bar was held at twelve o'clock yesterday, in Trial Term rooms, Part 1, cf the Superior Court, to taxe action regarding the death of the late Chief Justice Monell. Although at this season of the year most of the judges and tho great bulk of the members of the Bar are absent frum | the city enjoymng the legal vacation, there was a pretty large attendanee. Among the judges present, beside Judge Davis, of the Supreme Court, who presided, were Jadges Donohue and Barrett, of the Supreme Court, and Judge Curtis, of the Superior Court, Ex- Chief Justice Barbour and ex-Judges Jones and Freed- man, of the Supertor Court, were also, in atteadance, Among the prominent members of the Bar present were Frederick Smyth, A. J, Vanderpoel, James C. Carter, Edward Patterson, E. C. Delavan and E. Bain- | bridge Smith, The feeling shown in the speeches made and resolutions passed was that the Bench had Jost one of its most trusted members and the profession an able and skilled jurist, sans reproche, Judge Davis, having called the meeting to order, paid a glowing tribute to Judge Monell, Ho sald that the late Chiof Justice was # good Iawyer, but it ts essential in a judge that he should be a good man, in the sense in which goodness mauns a hatred of wrong anda love of right. Chief Justice Monell had this qualitication, I think all will concede, in an eminent degree. 1t was not my fortune to know him person- ally until within the last two or three years, aua in that lime I had formed @ very elevated opinion of his honesty of purpose, integrity of character and conscientious desire to do bis duty. But there are gontieinen here who will speak trom intimute personal acquaintance of his many excellent qual- tice. Nothing gratifies mo more than to see at this season of the yeur—in this bot weather—that the profession he adurned are willing to assemble to do honor to his memory. Chief Justice Monell has fallen ata period which ought to be the prime of valuable Ile, He has fallen, L think, m cousequence of dis- charging bis duties under circamstances in which no judge, no intelligent bar, ought te be called upon to periorm their fanctions—from the cilects of malaria as ‘@ consequence of long performance of duty in this bunid- ing, in an air unfit for human lungs, and certain in a longer or shorter time to induce futal diseases We call this sometimes the providence of God—it 1s, in truth, the improvidence of man. Many metbors of the Bur aro often called upon to sit for weeks in the trial of long cases, and have experienced in their own persons the malaria that 1s sull lurking within these walls from causes which could be removed. But it you, members of tue Bar, toel the effects Mf that aseassin of health alter a | tew weeks, how much more the Judges, called upon to | sit duilly for months, are subject to its deleterious eifvets, Judgo Davis concluded by suggesting that | sound action should be taken by the Bar to reilove the Judges from the danger that sucrounds thom, Mr. Vanderpool then moved the appoiutinent of a long list ot vice presidents. Messrs, Coudert, Shep- pard and Smyth wero appointed aecretaries, and reso- lutions expressive of respect for the high character and abilities ol tne deceased and rogret for bis death were moved by Mr. Paterson, ‘The following wore the res- olutions which were adopted :— Resolved, ‘That iu the death of Chief Justice C Monell the legal profession in the city of Ne exlled pon to mourn the loss « distin, wticing Iawyer be was able aud ace he was learned, dicial career was worthy of the tradition a over presided. hiut we find expecial gratification in commem- sonal character and abilities of the ut ‘of couspicnous us Listory of the eminens tribu Kexolved, orating the high Chiet Justice.

They necd not mourn the departure of au Ihustrious statesman, cut off in the midst ot his work and dying in his harness ag one would wish to die, or of a learned author trom whose pen treatisos have flowed illustrating the sciences, but honored the inory of one who had the many happy qualities expressed ‘by the words, “A just judge” He had that measure of honor, respect which is offered to the judge, semper fidelis. He culled atton- tion to a moeting of the Bur in this city foliowing the death of Generat Hamilton, but said that this was po more sorrowtul an occasion than Vhe present Fecling addresses followed by Messrs. Vanderpeel, ch and others, and a committee, consisting of Vanderpoel, Smyth and Sullivan, were ap- pointed to present the resolutives to the deceased Judge's fa , alter which the meeting adjourned. MURDER OF OFFICER SCOTT. Yesterday the inquest touching the death of Edward Scott, the murdered policeman, was resumed j atthe Brooklyn Morgue betore Coroner Simme and a jury. The prisuners, Hurley and Whelaban, were represented by counsel. ‘The testimony of John H. Carberry, William Lowery, Mrs, Jane O'Neil, Thomas Nolan and Jobn McCabe gave bo now facts to fasten tho responsibility of the killing on any particular person. James Whelanan, one of the parties mentioned as being a principal in the assault, testified that on the night in question he left Carberry’s store about twenty minutes past eleven o’clock in company with John Horley and some others, whom he did pot remom- ver; wo parted when we gat to the outside door; weut acrcas the street to my cousin’s house and dat’at tho door; James Burke and James McCann came over and stayed about ten munutes there; 1 heard Joud talking there on the corner, and on omg there I saw my Drothor Edward and told bim he nad better go away froin there or he would be arrested; bi he bad dove nothing and he would not go; told him it made po diflerence whether he had done anything or not, that there would be a crowd of policemen there soon and they would bo “taken in” for standing on the corner; then got a hold of biin to fetch him with me, but he didn’t want come aud we jostled one anoth he threw me and I got up, when some other man c along and told my brother he had better come with there was a policeman at that time standing on Stea- Len strect, near Myrtle avenue; | met my wile there, and [ asked my brother if he would go home with her, and ho said be would; she told him that he bad better go around the over way as the officer had been hit by somo one, and if he went that way he might be ar- rested; that was the first 1 knew of an olficer beg hit; she said she did pot know who nit bim or what be was hit with; I then came back to the avenu in lor the purpose of going home; Mr. Flood, whom I met there, told me that the vificer was hurt, aud I said that if the Tumorgras true about the way Scott insulted people that fe was not tuo seriously hurt he probably de. rorved what he got; that is all 1 know xbout it; some of the evidence given agatust me here ts perjury and I will so prove it wheu the case comes up for trial. The case was then given io the jury, who retired, and after an hour's deliooration returned with the fol- lowing verdic.:—““We find that tuc said Edward Scott came to his death by injuries received at the hands of James Whelaban and Jobu Hurley, July 6, 1876; and we further hud James E. Burke and James McCann ace sory to the killing of Edward Scott.” Warrants were issued for the arrest of MeCann and Burke. who are out on bail THE W Last Saturday the Croton Water Department let on from their reserve of 3,000,000,000 gallons an addi- tional supply of fresh water, aud (he result is that yes- terday morning at High Bridge there was # decided im- provement in the laste ol the water. Extra inspectors have been placed at the docks and other piaces to pre- vent the unnecessary waste of water, It is behleved that the “woody” taste peculiar to the water for the past few days will certaimiy disappear to-day.

THE COURTS. Striking Exemplification of a Sheriff's Strategic Talent. ESTATE OF JUDGE M’CUNN. Enforcing Judgment by Summary Process. In Marine Court, Chambers, yesterday, Mr, Veter Mitchell moved for the discharge from civil urrest ot Leopold Weill, ‘The affidavits read on bebalt of the motion presented some peculiar features im official strategy or else grave olficial wrong on the part of a deputy sheriff, Thoy stuted im sub- stance that one Benjamin Leesburger, a jewelry mer- chant in Maiden lane, having a claim against Weill for $245, obtained trom the Murine Court an order of arrest against tho latter. With this order in the hands of Deputy Sherif Frank Bollet he and the creditor found tho alleged debtor Weill on board the steamer Pomerania, in Hoboken, on bis way to Europe. Upon seeing Weill Leesburger said, “Here you are; now we have got you,’’ After tuis salutation Bollet showed his badge, handed Weill some papers and invited him to accompany them to New York. This Weill refused, whereupon the deputy, with actions suited to his Words, anpounced his’ intention to carry Weill on shore; but the latter, to avoid « fuss, consented to sc. | company him, Wurimg the journey'to Ludlow Street | Jail the Sheriff and the creditor, Weill states, made repeated attempts Lo have him settle the claim by notes aud pay costs, but he refused They also Invited him todrink, but this he refused. At the jai! hoe thought 1¢ was bis turn to extend an invitation, ant did so tou friend who followed tim trom the steamer | to go inside the prison with him, but this was pre- | vented by the deputy. by violence, who also relused to accompauy him to a lawyer's ollice. Upon this state of facts Mr, “Mitchell contended that, much as the juris- diction of the Murme Court had been extended recently, AU had not yet territoriully been exicnucd to the State of New Jersey, and thet an arrest under its Warrant there was, of course, utterly void. In opposition it was contended that delendant came io New York wo Holta’s saloon, on Broadway, under a promise to | plaintiff to there make w settlement, accompanied by a threat that if be did not plum! wousd pubbsh hin here and ia Germany, and that it was only iu Holtz's | saioon, when no setilement bud been arcived at, that the Deputy Sheriff asserted lis authority and execued the warrant of the Court. Judge Sheridan was of opinion that even if ho was to believe the story of pisintill and the deputy that the arrest was made in the city of New York there appeared to have beon subtorfu,e and auplicity practised in get- Ling the defendant within the jurisdiction of the court, and this practice, according to numerous controling decisions of the courts, the law would not tolerate. ‘The order of arrest was thereupon vucaied, tho detwn- dunt giving a pledge not to prosecute for false imprison- ment, and he was permitted to take his departure tor Germany where, ‘tis said, he is tu take possession ol a family inheritances WRITS OF POSSESSION. H. Herman obtuinod a judgment in the Murine Court for $327 against Charles Mvore, and under an execution issued on this Judgment a ycar’s leasy of a house near the Thirty-tourth street ferry was sold and purchased by William Hussey, When the purchaser went to ob- tain possession of the premises uuder bis purchase of the lease he mot with resistance from Moore anda crowd of his iriends, who discharged a pistol at him. Yesterday, in Marine Court, Cbawbors, betore Judge Sheridan, Mr. A, H. Reavay, counsel tor the purchaser, made # Wotion for a writ Loput his client 1n pussession, or punisi Moore for contempt if he failed to obey the mandate of the court. The motion was resisted by Mr, ‘Trauax on bebult of Moore, on the ground that the court had no jarisdiction, and that Mrs, Moore wus the | present lessee of the premises. M:. Reavey tor the motion read aftidavits 0; the president of the ferry com. pany, owner of tho premtses, und othere, to tho effect ‘but he (tha owner) bad continued n lexse previously existing to Moore, the judginent debtor; and, on the important aod novel question of law involved argued that the Court bad power to onforce iif judgment by the summary process of the writ asked for; that the principle be contended for had beon decided in a par- allel case in the Court of Appeals, und that other au- thorities cred by him sustained the same view. Judge Sheridan deeming the question invoived an important one as relating to the quast equity power recently con- forred on the Court, took the motion under considera tion and reserved his decision thereon, JUDGE M’CUNN’S ESTATE, Samuel H.
