e HE COURTS. Important Decision in Bankruptcy Proceedings, Validity of a Foreclosure Sale. BEATITUDES OF LEGAL Bo SELES SE FINESSING. An interesting point in bankruptcy law was decided Yesterday by Judge Blatchford in a case involving the Validity of a foreclosure sale of property held on a mortgage of a bankrupt, under a decree of th Court, suit having beem instituted without asking leave of the United ,States Court, William Moller, the sugar refiner, became a bankrupt in 1875, and in the varly part of this year the executor of Douglas Sloane, ‘creditor of Moller, brought two suits in the State Court for a foreclosure of the mortgages on property of the bankrupt. The bankrupt, bis wile and the assignee in bankruptcy became parties to this suitand putin answers, but afterward withdrew on the sole stipulation that due notices of the sale should be given to the de ftendants. The case went by default, and one notice was given as arranged. The property was sold under decree of the State Court and was bid in by the execu- wor for $21,100. The executor petitioned Judge Blatchford for an order declaring that the sum of $21,100, the amount bid, after deducting the expenses of the suits and of the sales, be tho ascertained value of the property under the requirements of the Revised Statutes, and that this be the amount to be deducted trom the claims of the executor against the estate of the bankrupt, who wag the mortgagor on tho bonds to secure which the mortgages, \wo in number, were given, in the same manner as if the sale bad been made under order of the United States Court, It is provided by the Revised Statutes of the United States that where a creditor has a mortgage of real property of the bankrupt be shall be aamitted as a creditor only forthe balance of the debt atter deducting the value of the property. This is to be ascertained by Qgreement or by sale, as the Court shall direct, or the creditur may’ convey hw iaim ’ to tne assignee and be admitted to pfove his whole debt. Judge Blatchford held, in a decision ren- dered by him yesterday, that, as tne assignee bad been one of the parites to the suits in the State Courts under ihe circumstances above set forth, he voluntarily sub- mitted to Lave the premises sold under the decrees of th te Court, although the consent of the United States Court had’ not been first given to the bringing of the suits, and that the amount bid 18, toall intents And purposes, an ascertained agreement ns to the value of the property. The potitioner also asked for the payment o certain taxes, assessments and Croton water reats on the premises, holding that they aro preferred debts, The assignee held that they are first liens on the property, and that the creditor must first remove them betore he can perfect his title to the premises. On this point Judge Blatehford held that these taxes, assessments and rents are personal debts of the bankrupt as owner of the property, and that he must fatixty them. Both applications of the petitioner nted, with a reference, if necessary, as to the nOUNLS, MORTGAGE COMPLICATIONS. A case has just been tried in the Marine Court, Part 2, illustrative of the gullibility with which parties trad- ing in exchange of stores, or on uncertain securities, or chattel mortgage, therefor, can be taken in by a little sharp legal finessing on the part of one or other of the parties interested in the mevitable litigation that follows. Adolph Ringe brought suit against George M. Mittnacht, Jacob Mittmacht and Sigis- fund R, Mundeil for conspiracy and fraud. The facts of the ¢age as shown in the testimony were as fol- lows:—That about the 17th of June the plaintiff “traded” off a store, then in bis occupancy, at No, 14 Franklin street, which he valued at $1,500, for the store of the defendant, George M. Mittnacht, at No. 23 Spring street, the latter store being valued in the exchange at $2,084. Upon the value of this property party turned the point in the litigation. The prem- ises in question, previous to tho transier as indicated, were rented by other parties, and they being in arrears for rent, Mundell, one of the defendants in the present suit, made « chattel mort {the party. im occupation) furniture for $250, Mundell very shortly alter purchasing the concern as to d business for $500, paid a part by a note of ated March 12, 1875, pi Ne to Catharine Dietz and secured by a mortgage given by defend Mundell to his co-detendant Mittnachs, and flied with the other mortgage securing the rent of Dietz in the Register’s office March 13, 1875, Previous to the makine of tho contract plaintiff inquired if tbere were any other liabil:ties against the property, and was informed there were no! and on this assurance the exchange was made, plaintiff paying cash $275, giving up bis own store and taking as security for such payment a mortgage of $309 on one note heid by one defendant against the otper, an assurance being given by the defendants that 4 other mortgages vitiated the latter contract, and that they (the defendants) would be responsible for every dollar that could be claimed— that the place was now freo and clear. Un this assur- ance, it 18 alleged, the exchange was made, giving $275 cash, giving up his own store, valued at $1,500 and taking on bimself the responsibility of the note for $309, Soon alter this seemingly accepted arrangement on both sides George uM. Mittnacht commenced a _— suit against Catharine Dietz for rent, foreclosed the mortgage ho had previously declared was ‘‘killed,”” sold the prem- ises to her son for $350, who took immediate posses- tion of the same, while tae defendant Mendell'still oc- cupied the premises in Franklin street, The plaintiff! alleges that under this arrangement he was cheated outof m y, premises and business in one fell swoop. For bis lot he now brings suit for $2,000, For the de- fence it was contended that there was no respunsibility assumed for the chattel mortgage upon which t! principally turned. The jury, after an able cb: résume of the evidence by Judge Goepp, returned a ‘verdict for the plaintiff in $1,500.

This is in ac- cordance with immemorial usage in England, and the i the States, til within @ recent does not teel called upon tomake a chango until such achange is required by statute or ‘a more extended pract in the highest courts of the States. Aiter this announcement Mrs. Lockwood and friends withdrew. Mr, A. G.

Some time during Sunday night burglars effected an entrance to tho silk importing establishment of E. Oclberman & Co., No. 62 Worth street, and suc- ceeded in carrying away sixty pieces of silk, valued at adout $10,000, The burglary was discovered early yesterday moraing by the porter when he entered to Sweep the piace. The store prosented a scene of confuston. Boxes were broken open and their content@ scattered on the floor. Cost!y pieces of silk were torn and trampled upon, and a brace and bits, two jimmies and remnants of a repast, consisting of a jew half eaten sandwiches, sbowed that the burglars had found a harvest. fied and promptly made an investig he burglars had entered from the root through euttie, which they bad forced open. scended to tbe roof was at first a mystery, but the Captain suceceded in tracing nts to the building No, 64 Thomas sir two houses distant, which they first entered by forcibly breaking in. bef then ascended to the roof and crossed over to tho sill ment. Their escape with the booty was ae- plished by the same route. The police have as yet no clew to the thieves, SAD, VERY SAD! On Thursday afternoon of last weok, the 2d inst, the body of a woman about forty years of age was found floating in Newark Bay, under the Central Railroad Bridge, Union county, N. J. It had evidently been but a short time in the water, as it was not disfigured or changed from natural, lifelike appearance; had no marks of violence on the body, except a slight scratch on the forehead, which had the appearance of being caused by floating against the bridge after death, Two men fishing, on discovering the body, notified the County Physician, who had the body brought to shore near Elizabeth, and cailing an undertaker had it taken to his Morgue for examination. They failed to find anything to identity the body; but there was in the pocket a small portemonnaie in which were sev- eral pawn tckets, with Mary M. Quinlan on them, jor articles of wearing a for small amounts. There was also a letter written to Frank White, asking his assistance in some difficalty in whieh the writer and a friend by the name of Annio found themselves, stating she had been to bis auntin Thirty-sixth street to find him, and had sent a young man also, but without success, and signed Mary M. Quinlan, There was no direction to the letter or any address whereby he could be notitied. The body was dressed ina dark dross, with black silk overskirt, ‘Dlack and red net hood, all neat and not very much worn. The decoased has light biue eyos, light brown hair, weight about 120 pounds, five feet one inch in heignt, The body is in a good state of rvation, being in an ice chest awaiting idenufication at the un- dortaker’s establishment of George C.

POLO IN INDIA. [From the London World.] It is astonishing how many accidents of a serious kind are happening in India during rather over-furious games at polo, The latest case is that of Mr, Garstin, a young man, in full health and bodily vigor, who was an official on the Rajpootana State Telegraph. On the 9h of last month he was playing with some officers at Agra; the horse of one of these cannoned against poor Garstin’s, and the inheritor of a rame well kaown in Indie, and himself personally an amiable and popular man, was dead in ten minutes, Leaving Garstin’s case out of account for many reasons, it may generally be remarked that games of polo on other than ponies, not even on mere ‘‘galloways” (& ¢, horses thirteen hands nigh), are getting too fre- quent in India When fiery Arabs are only half trained and are spurred and hear the rattle of Pati sticks about their ears, and get raps {rom flying Is, and sce about them a number of animu! cited as they scampering wildly about, whi are laughing and sometimes shouting, it is Bo that now and then they grow managead! serious accidents occur. Polo pl in India is yearly becoming a wilder sport. every proba. bility true that tue best polo puyers in the whole world are the indigo pianters of Chumparun and Tir- hoot, in North Behar, who have never been beaten in India, and whose small broad-backed Arab ponies, with a dash of Cuteh and Kattiawar blood in them, are simply uurivatied, The true Kattiawar horse is prob- ably a cross between four breeds—the wild ass of the Runn of Cutch, the Persian, the Arab apd the ordinary horse of Western India. Kattiawar ponies, with @ strong element of Arab in them, are probably tho best polo ponies in the world! Thoy are extremly nimble, casily trained, quick-eyed, and bave immense persever- ance. Here, indeed, we have their fouriold breeding exemplitied at least in three particulars. Frour the wild ass they inherit indomitable perseverance, Cap- tain Natt, of Bhownuggur, chased a sorely wounded wild ass on two re! of horses tor more than forty miles! Then the Porsian is almost always. a docile aad easily traiged horse. Finally, notning need be said of the nimbioness of the Arab. There are polo ponies in Benar tor which their owners would Jaugh at being asked to take £500! SPORTING EVENTS ABROAD, AQuaTIcs, A better contested raco has pot been scen on the ‘Thames than that which took place on Thursday after- noon, October 18, from Putmey Aqueduct to the Ship at Mortlake, between Georgo Tarryor, of Bermondsey and Cornelius Brian, of Shadwell, for £100 a side. The day was beautifully fine, the tide running at a pretty good pace, und scarcely a ripplo appeared upon the surface of the water, so there was every chance of the men making good time, more especially as a vory close contest was anticipated. Thess men met over the same course on the 24th of last July, when Brian was the winner, Tarryer (who was backed at 2 to 1 at starting) being nnwell; moreover he had the ‘Worst 6tation, and Lap nelfeen to row the first mile @ha a quarter through 4 pertect sea, There had been a strong teeling in favor of Tarryer for tully an hour betore the start, and just as the men were about to commence the race 6 to 4 was offered on his chance, but the takers of the odds were not very readily torthcoming. Drewitt was in the head of Tarry- er’s cutter, and Higeins officiated for Brian. The Bermondsey man, who lost the toss for choice of sta- tion, was on the Surrey side, and, rowing the best in the Orst few strokes, soon showed i front, boing nearly a length ahead on passing the boathouses. Brian had now fairly settled down to his work, and began to overhaul his opponent and, by tho time they reached bank, was in turn lead- ing, when 2 to 1 was freely offered in his favor. Tarryer, nothing daunted, although he took one or two breathers, stuck pretty closely to bis man, and when they passed under Hammersmith Bridge Brian ‘was about a length to the good, and taney were very close ‘Vogether, so much £0 that seemed y likelihood of atoul The time to the bridge was 9m. 15s, aud when they were Briana came euta litte. Tar- ryer-now tried to put the pase on, and by sheer hard rowing again began to come up, bringing his boat on level terms off the Doyes. Brian, who had fallen off 1n his style somewhat, was mak! desperate efforts to keep up, and Tarryer was evidently not in too great a hurry to get away, and they rowed on the most even terms to nearly the upper end of Chiswick Eyot. Both bad w come out, owing to a couple of barges being moored right in their course, after which Tar-s ryer slowly but surely began to get his boat in front, and it was evident, bar accident, that be must win, a8 Brian, despite the frantic efforts of his ‘was unable to mend his pace. On reaching the Surrey side of the river larryor was two lengths in front, and he bad nearly doubled that distance at Barnes Bridge, the time vo that structare being 19m. Bis. The pace bad been so hot that it ee begun to ‘tella tale on both men, who prespired fr ialty Brian, but he never flinched, and kept Tarryer at bi ‘work to the finish of the race, when nearly four lengt! neparated them. The time was 23m."4s., the fastest on record, beating Higgins’ time over the same course by one second. When the latter rowed Boyd the time was 23m. 2s, but the starting boats were opposite Put- ‘ney pier. er Wi round with his hat alter the race, and succeeded in collecting £9 14s, 6d. for Brian. — Bali's Life, Oct. 21. BICYCLING. The great 100-mile-bioycle match that took place on Saturday last, at Lillie Bridge, in which David Stan- ton, the well known bicyclist, backed himself to traverse 100 miles in six and three-quarter hours, is a good proof how wondortully the sport of bicycling has advanced of late years. The weather was most un- favorable and the grounds nearly empty. Stanton sterted at forty-seven minutes past ten o’clock, and completed the first ten miles in 36m. 488, the twenty miles in 1h. 14m. 38s., the thirty miles in 1h, 62m. 508., the forty miles in 2b. 30m. 448. una the fifty miles in 3b. 8m. 49a, when he retired for a short rest of lim. 30s At half-past two the rain cleared away and the sun shone for the first tune, QT sixty miles were completed in 4b. 5m 458, and struggling gamely on Stanton eventu- ally succeeded in wmning the £60 that had been laid to his £40 against his compicting the distance b; On- ishing the 100 miles and 340 yards to spare in the time epecified—six and three-quarter hours, Considering how very bad the weather was in the early part of th day this fastest time on record for 100 miles on bicycle is the more wonderful.—Sporting and Dra- “matic News, Oct. 21.

The competitors were William H. Daily, champion swimmer of Cal- fornia, and James Maben, a Sootch athlete, who ts the holder of many medals gained in Australia and “Bonnie Scotia” by saperior excetionce inthe use of his arms ‘and legs while sn the water. Tho race was for $100 a side, 300 yards. It has been om tho tapis since Oc- tober 12. The race was advertised to take place at flood tide— five minutes past two P. M.—and long before this hour arrived Long Bridge tor a distance of 800 yards was Dlack with would-be spectatora It 18 estimated that at lenst 6,000 persons witnessed the contest. The starting point was froma rait which was moored a little north of the swimming baths. At ly five minutes past two o’clock the men on the raft, each clad in swimming trunks around the loins, and hanakerchief tied around the head. The conrse—3u0 yards straight~ lay, directly to tho north, along the bridge, though the ‘bridge bends a little to the west, so that if the swimmers kept on straight they would bear the same relation as the horse- hair v0 the fiddle bow, THE RACE.

It was now aquestion of superiority of stroke, Maben seemed to have the advantage, though, as he put nearly all work on one arm, the matter of ability to up the gait became a necessary factor in determining the chances jor success. Up to 200 yards Maben’s side stroke kept him slightly ahea time nearly two lengths; but then he diverged to the right by the advice of friends on the wherf, who thought he was ete direct pacer ep Daily put on 4 tremendous spurt of power, usi 18 enormous side stroke, by which he seems to reach out three fect or more with his right band, and takes a great armiul of water, bringing his body’ easily after hisarm.

Daily used his breast stroke again, then bis side stroke, and again on bis back during the last hun- dred yards, as i{ he were merely giving an exhibition and fclt no uneasiness about the contest, each gambol bringing out a shout of applause from the spectators and boisterous demonstrations of delight from the friends of Daily. The goal was reached by Daily about six yards in advance of Maben, who cuntessed Bimeelt fairly beaten, and the umpire announced that Daily had won the match and the amount of the stakes, which were promptly paid over by Colonel Shaw. THE HERALD POLICY. YURTHER LETTERS FROM THE’ PEOPLE ON THE REDUCTION OF PRICE. ‘The reduction in the price of the Hxratp to three cents per copy in the interest of the masses who can ill afford to do without a popular journal still con- tinues to be a theme of interest in the community. By the following letters, selected from many that reached this office yesterday, it will be seon that some dealers still pract:ce imposition upon their patrons:. ABUSES AT THE GRAND CENTRAL, DEPOT. New Yorn, Nov. 5, 1876. To rox Epitor or tas HekaLp:— The Heratp has nobly reduced the price to three cents a copy, but the reading public is filched out of an extra cent by many dealers placed in position to im- pose upon the people, On Sat ary, 28th October, I ‘ook a morning train on the New York Central Rail- road at Forty-secoud street. 1 went up to the ‘news stand”’ and found po Henan displayed like other morn- img papers. I asked for it, when a copy was furuished from the back suelving of the stand, for which four cents was demanded, Following the advice of the Hxaad I did uot buy, but went outon the strect where I thought suroly'l would tind a newsboy placed there by the HxmaLp to supply the travelling public at’ the reduced rate, and as pome was at band [| went on board of the train where | procured a copy from tho “pews agent” for five cents. On Thursday morning, November 2,1 bought a copy-of the Hap in Phila- delpbia on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, go- ing to the Ceptenuial grounds, for four cents, demon- strating that the travelling public can be supplied cheaper with a newspaper ninety miles trom the place where tbo same is aed than in the city. Ibisis a disgrace to the city of New York, and as its fair tame does not stand very high with people trom the try I think these parigitical agents ought to be taught a lesson if it can be done.

Not within the memory of the oldest member of that body bas there been elicited on a similar occasion such @ partisan interest as has beea shown during the present canvass and brought toa focus to-day. Specue lation in stocks was apparently a mere matter of form; speculation as to the success of the respective candi- dates the all absorbing topic.” For the nonce the curb- stone broker forgot his ‘puts’ and ‘“calls,’’ in the more engrossing opportunity of winning his week’: board on an election bet, wile within the precincts of the Exchange, Lake Shore and Western Union, the railway war and the health of Commodore Vanderbilt gave way to sharp antagonism between the daberents of Tilden and Hayes. i Little or no interest attended the movement of ap, stock, and mere quotations suffice to describe the re- sults, inasmuch as there were few changes of !m-_ portance.
