t, THE COURTS. A Royalist’s Daughter George Washington Did Not Marry. TRACING BACK A LAND TITLE. Further Augmentation of the City’s Legal Expenses. WAVE OF ENCOURAGEMENT T0 RAPID TRANSIT. Some rather interesting ‘acts were yesterday 4 oped in the continuation of the trial of the suit Drought by Thaddeus R. Ganung against the city to recover damages on accoun: of the overtiow of his | residence on Fairy Island, in Lake Mahopac, io pro- gress bofore Judge Larremore, holding Part 3 Supremo Court, Circuit, One of the grounds upon which dam- Ages were sought was that Mr, Ganung and bis fam- | fly were prostrated by malarial fever in consequence Of the overflow of water. A guod deal of testimony was taken as to what constitutes malarial fever, in respect to which, as usual, the doctors disagreed, and the resalt of whieh could hardly bave been otherwis than intensely pewildermg to the jurymen. Tho fact, however, of special interest, and one of tho main lea. tures of public Interest in the case Was divulged through | tracing ‘be titlerto the property. Tho was traced | baox to 1697, in which year William 111, of gugland | granted to ‘Adolph Phillipso a large tract of lund tu the then province of New York, iaciuding the presen’ pounty of Putpam. The Pnill family retained ps bession of the property until 1754, at wich time it wa Geeded to Mary Morris. It was stated by counsel that this Mary Morris had the distinguished honor of being Soucited by George Washington in marriage, The Morris tamily was too strougly tinctured with royaliem to favor the suit of the youug rebel, and the result was that he abandoned his suit, As during tho war the Morris family continued faithiul ip their espousal of the caues of the King of England their large property at the close of the war was forfeited to the State of New York. In 1781 the Commissioners of Forfeiture for the State sold the land to William Smith. Subse- | quently the beirs of Mary Morris claimed the property, which claim came into the hands ot John Jucob Ast In 1809, Mr, Astor having preasea his claim wath gri rigor, Obtained a decree in his favor and the State was tompeiled to pay $500,000 fur a release, thus confirm. ‘ng the.title to the purchasers from the estate, THE CITY'S FLIMSY DFENCE. | John B. Develin sued the city to recover on a con- tract for paving:'nird avenue from 164th street north to the boundary line of the city. Upon the trial of this case yesterday before Judge Donohue, in,the Su- preme Court, Circuit, Part 1, it appearod by statements pf counsel that tho Department of Parks controlled the work, and, a jurisdictional question having tween this department and the Department Finance, the plaintiff has been unabie to gei the money. The Suit was brought to recover $14,313 15, for which the | Comptroller refused to give warrants. The defence pat in was substantially that the survcyor’s certificates Were not signed by the engineer in charge, General Green, ana that defence was sworn io by the head of the Financo » while at tho time tho oath ‘was taken he had lyiug before him tho surveyor’s cer- titicates apd the certification of the engineer, lino for line. That defence, nowever, was subsequentiy ‘withdrawn, and a verdict directed for the full amount claimed. . RAPID TRANSIT. It looks very much as though the Supreme Court, jeneral Term, will foliow up its confirmation of the re- | port of the Rapid Transit Commissioners with doing | Something likely toaccomplish rapid transit in this eity. A preliminary step appears to be the appraiso ‘ment of property that must be used for the purpose of earrying out the plan o: the Rapid Transit Commission. Application was made yesterday to the Court for the appointment of commissioners of appraisement of property, having special reference to real estaie re- quired to be used on Soutn Fitth avenue. On the petition submitted to this effect, the Court promptly Appointed John V. B, Lewis reteree, to take testimony in the care, The petition, of course, as will be under- stood, is in the interest of the Gilbert Elevated Rail- oad Company.

Betore Judge Gildersleeve, WAR BEGUN ON IRREGULAR ‘‘M. D.'s," + Assistant District Attorney Horace sussell, who returned from Europe yosterday, appeared as prose- cuting officer in Judge Gtldersleeve’s court, where he assisted in disposing of a number of cases, The moat important trial of the day, and one which will doubt- less attract very much attention, was that of an old Ger- man named Jobn Lang, of No. 17 King street, indicted for practising medicine without a regular diploma, It would appear that tue New York Medical Socicty bas determined to wage universal war upon quacks and illegal practitioners of ail degrees, and that the case of Lang was imtended as a test one. Mr. Russell was as- sisted in trying it by the special counsel of the societ; who had’ famiiarized himself with all the fa in the case and who made the opening address, T dolendant, he said, was arraigned under a statute passed May 11, 1874 (section 53 Re’ ‘d Statutes), which reads:—‘‘It is hereby declared a misdemeanor for any person to practise medicino or surgery in this State unless authorized to do so by a license or diplo! rom 4 some chartered school, State Board of Medical Exami- * ners or medical society, or who shall practice under cover of a medical diploma illegally obtaived, and any person found guilty of such a misdemeanor shall for the first offence be fined not less than $50 nor more than $200, For any subsequent offence not less than $100 nor more than $500, or by tmprisonment not less ‘han thirty days or by both imprisonment and fine, and ail such fines snall go into the county treasury of the conaty bringing sucn action.” Counsel went on to say that there were a number of persons in this city —s practising = medicine without proper qualitications, having bad Iittle or no prepgratory stucy and having no_ license or diploma, and the amount of ‘harm done by them ‘was iar greater than was generally suspected. He then called to the stand Horace 1. Hanks, D., of No. 149 Lexington avenue, secretary of the Board of Census of the Medical Society of New York, He testified that he had been present ata meeting of the Board, convened for the purpose of examining candidates for diplomas as to their efficiency ; the a fendant Lang was one of the candiaates examined by the five censors :n the usual manner, each’ in turn in tho presence of all putting questions; ho was found deticient in everything that goes to make up a good hysician, and was consequently retused a certificate; Pate said then to witness that be had never received a diploma; it he claimea to bave ever bad ons the Board would not have spent its time examining him, but would bave ordered him to send for a copy of it tothe tnetitutiop by which it was issued. . J. 8. Janverin, another member of the Board, re- membered the appearance of Lang before that body, and distinctly remembered thut he was inefficjent and was reused a dipioma, James 1. Body, sexton of a Baptist church at No, 231 East Thirty-third street, testified that he went to the Getendant, Lang’s, office on the 13th of Octover, 1875, and told the latter that he Was suffering from palpita- tuon of the heart and the kidney complaint; delendant made a diagnosis and wrote a prescription and toid him to come back when he had used it; witness paid him $1 and,took the paper to the officers of tho medi- cal society by agents of whom he was sent. The prescription was exbibited in Court, It enumer- ated live ingredients, and the physicians in attendance for the prosecution declared they could make nothing of it except that one of the drugs named was spirits of rhubarb, another sulphate of magne: Sergeant Bergpold of the Court squad of the Seo- ond District Police Court, testified to having arresied the prisoner upon the indictment, and to the best of bis recollection, Lang then told him that he had been practising tor about forty years. Counsel who detepded the prisoner said in a brief summing-up speech that the question to be decided was simply whether the accused had a license to kill in tke city of New York or not. ‘The defendant was placed on the stand, reply to questions $ counsel stated IXLY four years old native of Bremen, Germany; had entered the me college at Gottingen, in that coun. try, ia 1837, and remained two years, when he left afte receiving & diploma, which was siolen from bim in 1844 The cross examination elicited the fact that the “diploma’’ he received was merely a document certily~ ing that he had attended lectures for two yearr, ‘but gave him no authority to practise. In order to ob- tain that privilege he would have been obliged to ate tend for another year, The document given him at Gottmgen was written by Dr. Laugevich and signed by Professor Conradia of that university. Afterwards he and in Cha wont to Holland, where he was surgeon on bi da whaling vessel, the Spitzbergon, tor lour years. Be- fore getting underwent an examina tion on boa and was given a certificate, which he ei entitied him ‘to practiso any: where.” Thisdocament had also been lost, but the Court decided that it was of no importance as it would not be adiploina within the meaning of the statute, not being granted by a “chartered school, Stato board of medical examiners or medical society. Counsel claimed that the prosecution had not proved thatthe accused had practised medicine within the the jury thought differ- niiet of “guilty.” Counsel ently aud broughtina a pleaded foi Vice for tweuty-seven y cholera epidemic rag! he spent bis time minis- tering to the sick when many ‘regular’ practitioners had tied, He urged that it would be cruel to senda weak and gray haired man to jail and cast bis family into disgrace, and pleaded that ® fine might be imposed instea. Alter carefully weighing all the facts inthe ease Judge Gildersleeve imposed the lightest penalty poxst- blo—a dine of $50, the prisoner to stand committed until it should De paid. FIVE YEARS IN STATE PRISON. John Burke, who assaulted and robbed Charles 3, Weaver, of No. 478 Fourth avenue, in a lagor boer saloon, corner of Chatham street and New Bowery, ‘Was sent to State Prisoa for five years, AN ALLEGED THIEV ACQUITTED. Charles Harman, a baggage porter in French’s Hotel, was tried on a chargo ot robbery preterrea by Wiillam 7.

Stone, was sent to the Peni- ‘ary tor four moa! for stealing a gold watch and chain trom Mary £, Farrell.

IMPORTANT LEGAL OPINION ON THE LIABILITY OF RAILROAD DIRECTORS TO STOCKHOLDERS, The war proposed on behalt of the 3,500 stockholders of the Michigan Central Railroad Company and the 4,500 stockholders of the Lake Shore road against the di- rectors of both, which bas been already outlined in the Beran, is now, it seema, taking substantial form and organization, lt is claimed on behalf of the stock- holders and those epresenting them that during sev- eral years past tl Michigan Central dirediors, who at the last election »resegied buta little over $2,000,000 out of $18,000,000 stock, have paid about $5,000,000 unlawtully 40 other-brancb ronds, and are pay- ing out annually nearly $1,000,000, with equal want of authority, in violation of law, apd in direct fraud of tne stockholders, into whose pockets the money thus unlawtully paid should xo. These proceedings are, it soems, being initiated on behall of the stockholders of these two companies, uoder prin- ciples of law holding directors of railway companies to & strict responsibility as trusices appointed by the Courts, In violation of this principle and of their suthority it is claimed that after the present Michigan Central directors had been elected they passed a resolution declaring the company’s obiigations to the branch roads equally binding as its own obligations on tho parent road of which they were p directors, among which obiigations are bonds ‘of the branch roads taken for iron and other s:pplics furnished those roads, and at a discount reachimg in some instances to neariy tity per cent This principle of law, though rarely ad- Vanced or sought to be enlorced uitherto, seems in the opinion of experienced lawyers to bo well setiled.
