John Goss, was brought before Judge Davis, presid- ing at Chambers of the Supreme Court, in obedience to awrit of habeas corpus. Upon return to the writ it appeared that Officer Gannon, of the steamboat squad, upon the 6th imst., arrested Jobn Goss, on board the Gity of Troy, at hor landing, at pier No. 49 North River, and took him before Justice Duffy, before whom he made affidavit “That said Goss is known as a professional thiet and coutidence man to de- ponent; that deponent saw said Goss at different times on dilferent steamboat landings, for unlawful purposes on the same day.’ Judge Dufly thereupon convicted the accused of being « disorderly person, under the provisions of the Habituat Criminats act, and sentenced tim to the Penitentiary ior threo r.

The alfidavit upon which the conviction was founded was clearly defective; it w the duty of the magistrate to follow the statute, and wus strange the magistrates are so careless, The pr oner was tuen discharged, and leit the court room ac- companied by his wife, Who held 1 ner arms a little babe.

Inger PATIENTS CHARGED FOR PRESCRIPTIONS AND DENTISTRY—INDIGNATION AMONG PHYSICIANS, DRUGGISTS AND DENTISTS. Serious complaints are made by the medical faculty i of Brooklyn against the system of “Free Dispensa- ries,” as at present conducted. It is known that these institutions, for the maintenance of which large ap- propriations are made by the Legislature annually, are irequented by thousands of poople whose means do not admit of their employing a regular practitioner and paying for his services the established fees The young physicians, who, for the greater part, atiend these “dispensaries,” Knowing tis fact charge the ordinary rates ior prescriptons put up there, though they do not charge tor advice, For drawing tecth tir. teen cents per tooth has deen charged, wiveh 18 a source of Joss to the regula. ly matriculated dentists, who cannot afford to lond their projessional services for such a fig The druggists, in many instances, compiain bitterly of the losses waich they sustain by the putting up of preseriptions at the “dispensaries,” In Brance and England and other European countries advice and mouicine are gratis at the dispensaries for “the poor,” and extra ry precaution is taken agains impostors receiving any Denelits from a source whic designed to ameliorate the condition of the altnered, And not incite the rapacity of well-to-do but mean peoe ple, who avail themsolves of tastitutions supported by public taxation, Au investigation of the present loose em of dispensaries will be urged at an carly day, im order to remedy existing abuses TARDY JU Great complaint still continues to be mada in regard tothe manner in which Justice Vanderveer, of New- town, neglects his duties. Two cr three instances may bo cited, Some time ago a resident of the village mado comploint against a party for deadly assault, The com- plainant was terribly beaten and contined to his house for severai days, The Justice took the complaint and said he would issue a warrant, but he nover did so, and the offending party was never arrested, About two weeks ago arespectable appearing woman appeared the police court with a child in her arms and tnquired for the Justice. She waited au hour and then went toa place where she was iujormed the Justice would prob- ably be found. She did dnd him there and he told her to go back to the court room and he would be “right ? She returned and waited another haif hour, when'some one taking pity on her, wout and urged tho Justice to come out and attend to his duty, He at lust went and listened to the woman’s sworn statement; she had been brutally maltreated by ver husband and thrawt out of duors. The Justice took the complaint, told the woman it sboald be attended to at once—and that was the last of it; the warrant was never issued, Only a day or two ago an officer went to the court room with a man Who desired a warrant for the arrest of another man on a serious charge. The Justice was not there, but was found nearby, Although apparendy unemployed, he was ‘too busy” to attend to the case then, ana (old the parties to come the next day. They Were again present at the appoinied hour, but were still told to “come agatn,” when they went elsewhere for the justice which they could apparently not obtain irom Justice Vanderveer.

A BILL IN: EQUITY FILED. The Courts Applied To for the Appointment of a Receiver During the Pen- dency of Litigation. I ESE ES Yesterday a bill in equity was filed in the United States Circuit Court by E, Delatield Smith on behalf of the alleged beits at law and next of k!n of the late Stepuen Jumel, who died in this city on the 22d of May, 1852, being then seventy-four years of ago. The property in question has long been the subject of legal controversy in the courts, and at the present ime a suit 1s pending on appeal between Washington Bowen, who claliws to be an filegitimate son of Mme. Jumet, deceased, against Nelson Chase, who claims to inherit under will of the deceased Mme, Jumel, whose niece, Mary Jumel Bownes, be married in 1831, The plaintiffs in the cause now at issue make claim in their Dill ns heirs at law to some 2,000 lots above 160th street, and No, 150 Broadway,.and Nos, 71 and 73 Lib- erty street, at present held by the assumed heirs at law of the late Mme. Jumel., The present controversy presouts a totally new question from any hitherto rajsed as to the heirship of this valuable property, avd is entirely separate and distinct from the case tried some three years ago between Bowen and Chase, and involved the right of inheritance of these parties to this property, including the oid ‘Mansion House,’’ through Mme, Jumei alone, The plaintiffs in the present suit claim the right of taheritance as legal heirs and blood relatives of Stephen Jumel, and who claim that at his death in 1832 they became his heirs at law, subject only to the lite interest in the | estate invested in Mme. Jumel, and that when she died tn 1869 they became entitled to have and possess the estate {ree of all encumbrances resulting from her life estate, whether by conveyance or other uses made by ber of the property, The plaintiffs in the present suit make ciaim to the whole property lett by Stephen Jumel, and which he purchased and held under the provisions of various recited acta of the Legis- jature of the State of New York, as set forth im the bill, The long contested Jumel case comes up afresh, invested with new interest, for while the contest was hitherto confined to those who claimed through their connection with Mme Jumei only, the present suit is instituted by those who chum through direct heirsbip from Stephen Jumel himself, citizens of France, who will be ably repre- sented in the coming legai tournament by M. De Cham- brun, covnsel to the French Legation at Washington. | By the bill the defendant, Nelson Chase, is required to Three days alter the shooting the pain of the wound | enter appearance on or betore the first Monday of Octo. ber next, when the case will be proceeded with. It appears from the allegations in the bili that the cause of the delay in the prosecution of the present claim of the French heirs was duo to the fact that they were not advised of the death of Mme.
