Alcock sgainst James McKean for 25,000 damages, for alleges breach of promise of d seduction. Though not possessing the 1 features of the Martinez-Del Valle suit, which for the past week hay so iargely occupied the Attention of Judge Donobue’s Court acd the eager Curiosity of the public, there is, according to the Plaintiff's story, certain foatures connected With the ease of far more suddening thengh equaily revolting character. Miss Alcock, according to her story, is ap orphan, nineteen y of age; she was taking les- Sous in telegraphy at the ielegraphic school in Cooper Institute, preparatory to carping her living by practice pfthe telegraphic art, In November, 1873, she was in- troduced to the defendant at a meeting of the Central Park Division, Sons of Temperance, an acquaintance which, as the result shows, ripened into cloge intimacy. Mr, McKean is reported to be a bookkeeper in a large wholesale store and also as being a partner in the hous His mother is said to be rich, and altogether there seems to be every confidence iu recovering beavy damages in the case. * In her complaint and accompanying affidavit Miss Alcock states that in November, 1373, she met Mr, McKean at a meeting of the Cepiral Park Division, Bons of Temperanoe, when he solicited an tntroduc- Mon to ber, which was granted. Following up the ac- quaintance then formed McKean asked permission to meet her at her boarding house, to which she acceded, McKean visited her at her boarding bouso three or four nights a week and wrote frequent letters to her. Bhe placed implicit contidence im bim, and believing his tntontions to b ietly honorable allowed him to c Binue his visits, Her affidavit further sets forth that Bp to the 6th of September last the defendant con- tinued to visit her three and four times a week; that when ho was unable to call upon ber be wrote ietters to her, sometimes writing two letters a day ; that during this time she refused to receive any otber company, aud that their courtship, though a jong pretracted one, was a very happy one. ‘The affidavit continues trom Ahis point as follows:—“On of about the 18th day of July, 1876, defendant visited your deponent at her residence, No. 1,286 Fourth avonue, in the city of New York, and made the following proposal to your deponent:—‘Mary, I love yon; do you love me!’ To which I answered, ‘Yes.’ He then asked me ‘to be his,’ and after considerable coaxing and kissing mo id with other protestations of love, 1 es.’? From this point the affidavit of the plaintiff recites the stpry of her a'loged ruin by the defendant, and that be continued to visit her from that time untii the etn of December following, r which his visits ceased altogether. She then states that after fully realizing the great wrong of which she bad been made the victim she prayed and beseeched the dolendant to fulfil his marriage promise. Althoagh the defendant ceased his visits he did not wholly cease writing. One of these letters # annexed to the complaint, written after her vai treaties to him to qoarry boy Hate her telling him that if he persisted in viol ing bis promise she would resort to the courts justice.

DIVORCED UNDER DIFFICULTIES. \ Some rather curious and interesting facts were de- veloped yesterday on a motion made before Judge Baniord, in the Superior Court, for a substitution of attorney in the suit brought by Madeline A. Strickland gainst her husband, George W. Striekland. Severat | affidavits were submitted on the motion, The plamuft In her affidavit states that the action is prought to procure a divorce from the defendant; that sho is in- Jormed and believes that a decree bas been signed in ‘wid action, granting a divoree to her on the ground of Jefendant’s adultery, but that such a decree bas not yet been entered in tho judgment book. She goes on jo statu that cho first became acquainted with dant in April, 1873, at No. 223 Sener- 0 boarding, After about two acquaintance he asked her to marry tim, which she Feiused. Dir, Strickland represented bimself to bea widower, Her mother and herself lett brookiyn and engaged board for the summer at Fordhom, and bad Deeu there only a week when Sf, Siricxuud put io an pearauce and engaged board at the same house, od ins entreaties for ber to marry bit. Bhe fimally consented, bat agreeimg, at bis earnest s0- Heitation, not to let ber folks know anything about 1 until after the marriage. She w der the Bame of Madeline A. Larkiu, although her was Madeline A. isen. She gave tbe name of Lar. kip because she had formerly goue through the cere- mony of marriage with a man by the nome of Larkin, ‘and iivea with him until sue ditcovered that he pad a wife, when she left him, All this, however, she ex- plained to Mr. Strieklaud, At the time of ber marriage to Strickland she says she bad « large and ‘valuable wardrobe, a quantity of jewels and stiverware ahd a burial lot in Greenwood Cemetery, in whieh was buried her grandmother. Soon aiter her marriage she aiscoverea that Mr. Surickland had been divorced from his former wife, who was still living, probibited from marrying again. The remainger of the affidavit, whieh is very lengthy. recites how she gave all her property to Mr. Simeckland to belp him Sut of his alleged pecuniary embarrasements; gold some of her clothing lor the same purpose, and finally disposed of the Greenwood burial lot, giving the money to him, alter which the remains of her grand. mother were removed to a new grave, when be retused to give her money enongh to buy some flowers to put . upon such grave; that from that sime he used vile and abusive Janguage, and that he vowed that he only married ber thinking she was rich, and, tinding that she was not, would lead her a dog’s life. Her adidavit closes with stating 1D jail how she was in- duced, as she alleges, through conspiracy to consent to a decree of divorce without almony; that sue 1s pow in absoluce want of the necessaries’ of ile, and that Mr, Strickiana bas threatened that if she pro- gocded against him for means of support he would e the country rather than make ber any further 1, \be money she having received thus far Ai 50 and a check for $80, which was protested, ‘The lawyer charged with being implicated in the Alioged conspiracy denies in the most pointed mann any such conspiracy, or that Re everacteit in collusior with the defendant to dotraad the piaiutif, but always acted for her interest and welfare, The answer of George W. Sirickiand, defendant In caxe, vtates that a decree of divorce to the plantit been duly granted, aud as to ull other matters and that be was | | mentioned in plaintif’s complaint the answer is a neral denial. He states also that when be married -_ he piace, her he was im poor circumstances, and told her so before tho parr | took orced trom on the ground of adult Court torbade bim to marry again. His wife was very Jenlous of bis affection for his child, and the child often begged him not to leave her alose with the plaintiff, who had ap ungovernable temper. He discovered aiso that marital relations between wr g ipig and Larkip been such as represented, whereupon he left lived with ber ; that ne calied lawyer and informed him of bis inien- tute proceedings for divores net ber. He says that he has but o1 unableto work | and his pecuniary condition will not permit bim to pay | aljmony to his wife. i A WARNING TO CONFIDENCE MEN. Among the importaat decisions just handed down by the Court of Appeals is ® decision in the case of George W. Loomis and Thomas Lewis, the “twin confidence men,” tn whose behalf Mr. William F. Kintzing, their counsel, made application in October last for their dis- ebarge from State Prison, claiming their conviction | was tilegal. They were convicted of grand larceny at the last December term of the Court of General Ses- sions, before Judge Sutherland, and sentenced to five years each in State Prison, The facts disclosed an in, genious case of emigrant swindling. The complaimant im the case was an emigrant, and while enroute to New York on the cars formed the acquaintance of Lewis, one of the accused, upon arriving in the city. Lewis led the emigrant into @ drisking saloon, and while there his confederate, Loomis, appeared upon. the scene Loomis challenged Lewis to throw the dice for $100, Lewis, bav- ing only $10, asked the emigrant to loan him $90, assuring him he was sure to win, but should he lose be would repay bim'the loan out of » check for $500 which be had in his pocket, and which he would get cashed. Upon this representation the money was loaned. The dice were thrown, Loomis’ won, as it was intended, Upon a pretext of having some business to transact ed disappeared, leaving the emi- rapt peanil jand charged the jury that it &: couspired fraadalently and | jously to obtain th complainant's money and to eouvert it absolutely to their own use without his consent they could convict oi larceny. Counsel for accused excepted to the ruling of the Court. The jury convicted, and upon appeal the Supreme Court, at General Term, ailirmed the convic- tion, Mr. Kintzing, in arguing the application for their discharge [rom the present commitment, contended that larceny could not be: predicated upon the facts, The conviction was wrong, the emigrant not only having voluntarily pie with the possession the money, but also with his property in it, 1s was not taken either against lis will or wijbout bis eonsent. There was no trespass, consequently no larceny, He Joaned the money on bank bills to the accused, know- ing that the same would be used at a game of chance. In doing go he lost all control, power and possession. The accused was intrusted with the possession of the money, and was not expected to return the identical bills.” Other bills were to be returned to liquidate the debt, Counsel further argued that while the iden tical property ordinarily loaned is expected to be returned, it 16 not so in the case of the loan of money, especially when {tis understood at the time that it is to be used. It was not larceny if it appeared that the owner intended to part with his property aud delivered possession, although he had been induced to part with tt by fraudulent means. District Attorney Phelps, in replying for the people, contended that the conviction was proper and sustained by authority. The accused conspired together to obtain the property, and the possession was obtained through trick avd artifice, and without any intention on the part of the owner of absvlutely parting with bis title. The udulent conversion of the money made !t larcen the criminal intent existing at the time of taking. further contended that the pretended game of dice was not am honest one; that really, im tact, ne money was lost, as no money was risked 1t was an unlawtul cvmbination, accompanied witha criminal intent— viz., the robbing of another vietim. the jury 80 found, and the ‘conviction should stand. The Court of Appeals ailirms the conviction of the Sessions, holding the conviction of larceny proper and their im: prisonment legal, The acc are at present confined at Auburn State Prison, wh they will serve out their sentence unless pardoned by the Governor, IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE OASE. In February last Marks Rinaldo entered into a con- tract with Frederick Hausmann to sell No. 324 Henry Street for $26,000, subject to a $6,000 mortgage. It was arranged that the title should pass at the office of Messrs. Jacoba & Sink. There was at the time the con- tract was entered into a first mortgage of $15,000 and a second mortgage of $5,000 on the property, which still remamed on at the time the tude was to be delivered. Both of the mort gagees appeared at Messrs. Jacobs & Sink’: @ atthe time specined. The second mortgagee had his eatisiaction piece executed apd ready to deliver. and the first mortgagee was then ready to draw a gatisiac- tion piece to deliver and the mortgage of $6,000 drawn up, Mr, Hausmann refused to sccept title, on the ground of the action of the mortgagees, and would not he offer of the mortgagees to cancel them, A suit was accordingly begua to compel a specific per- formance of that contract, the cuse being tried beiore Judge Van Brunt at Specia) Term of the Court of Com- mon Pleas, The deivndants relied on the case of Morgan vs, Morrie & Hickey in secund New York. Mr. Jacobs contended that the case was not like ey 4 cited, and that the proof showed that all the vend did was to refuse to take the title, The Court took the papers, Messrs. Jacobs and Sink appeared for the plaintiff, Messra, Culver and Wright tor deiendant and ex-Judge Cardozo, of counsel SUMMARY OF LAW CASES, Augustus Bassi, an Italian, living at No. 1 Baxter street, was yesterday taken before United States Com- missioner Shields on a charge of passing a counterieit fitty-cent coin on Charles O'Brien, at the corner of Fulton and Water streets, and was held in deisult of $500 bail, The case of Duncan, Shorman & Co. camo up before Judge Blatchford yesterday, on an appeal of an op. posing creditor, against certain rulings of the Register in Bankruptcy.

The suit of Miss Engenia Martinez against Juan Del Valle, to recover $50,000 damages for alleged breach of promise of marriage and seduction, which bas occupied 80 much of the public attention during the past week, was brought to a very unexpected conclusion yester- day afternoon by fhe jury bringing io a verdict tor the plaintid, and awarding her $59, As carly a8 nine o'clock in the morning quite a crowd had gathered in the hallway leading into the court room of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in which the trial had been held. The doors were obligingly thrown open by the ofMcers of the Su- preme Court, whe were in attendance for a paur- pose of their own, which they took good care hot to explain to the anxious sightseers who pulled and hauled one another and tumbled over one another in their engerness to secure good seats.

TUR LAST DAT. The Court, it will be remembered, had been ad- Journed the day previous by Judge Donohue to ten o'ciock yesterday. The Judge was promptly on hand in the library adjoining the court room whea the hour arrived, but did not gointo the room. He waited in the livrary ail the forenoon, but no word came from the jury, and oa message was sont to them that if they should agree by hall-past two the Judge would be ready jo receive them, The crowd in the coart room by twelve became somewhat impatient, and many of those who had gaimed an cntranco when the doors wore first thrown open left the room and weut out into the corridors to stretch their umbs and bunt up the sandwich man. The great majority, however, who had secured good seats wero loath to \efare with (hem and remained stea-fastly at their chosen posts. .

These and a hundred other kindred questions, everybody put to everybody else, nnd ol course uo one could give a deti- nite answer, It was tinully learned that ail the letters tn the case had been sent up to the jury, which left all vhe curious ones more in the dark than ever as to (be knotty point that some particular one of the ieters was expocted to make cl At @ quarter of one the jury were deweried coming down stairs, and. there once grand rush for the court which the trial bad been beld. young, who happened to be pi 4g caugh: the lever of the excitement as badly an did the loungers who bad since morning kept their eycs fastened op the stairway and, pushing their way aloug ns best they couid and struggling as tlercely as the common herd of spectators, made their way imto the court room, panting and halt exhausied.

Mr. Sanford was prevented by the lateness of the hour and conse- quent want of light to complete his record. Some dissatisfaction was manifested by participatora in the match, because all the scoring tickets were not handed in for publication, the objectors looking upon it as an old trick on the part of a few frequenters of Creedmoor for these, when out of luck, to retire be- fore finishing their scores and endeavoring to bave their rgcords kept back {rom the press, The names of those gentlemea who did not finish their scores yesterday were Messrs.
