\ NEW YORK THE COURTS. The Bankruptcy Proceedings Against Dunean, Sherman & Co. Continuation of.the Trial of Charles Ralston, the Forger. Something Abont the National Water Works Company, of New York, Still Another Suit Against Jay Gould. Tne bankrupt firm of Duncan, Sherman & Co. haw Wg applied for a discharge, one of the creditors, R Braham Haight, without dling specifications, but hav- Ing given notice of his intention to oppose the die Yharge, entered upom the examination of William Butler Duncan after tne application for discharge had been made, During the examination Wilham D. 8hip- man was called as @ witness, and F. N, Bangs, counsel for the bankrupts, desired to appear tor them and for tho witness to object to such questions as might appear to him objectionable, to argue the pointa raised by him thereon, to call for rulings and to exercise all Bho privileges of counsel. Register Ketchum, before whom the cxamination was held, decided that counsel for tho bankrupts was not privileged to appear for the witness Shipman at these proceedings, wherenpon coun- Jel drew up the following questions for determination by the Court, whether after bankrupts bave instituied Proceedings to obtain a discharge and after specifica- wions have been filed, and after a particular cred- ftor has obtaimed time to fic specifications, the bankrupts are not entitied to appear by counsel upon the examination of any witnoss called by a particular ereditor adversely to tho bankrupts; whether a cred- itor who, after the bankrupts have applied for a dis- tharge, has entered upon examination of the bank- and has procured such examination to be ad- ‘om Ume to time, and has obtained time fications, has a right to enter on a arte ‘examination of a witness hout notice to the bankrupts and their counsel, and without opportunity to the bankrupts or their cou bel to attend and cross-examine the witness, and ¢ thor rights of adverse counsel. The Register, #n his opinion, says that thero were pending an exaini- nation by a creditor of the bankrupts before the apect- cations were filed under the application for a dis. charge, and here is pending an examination of a wite summoned on behalf of the same ereditor and re- quired to produce books and papars. They are separate proceedin ‘The depositions of the witness to be made here would not be competent evidence, if ollered upon the trial of specifications ve ‘filed against the bankrupts in jon to their discharge, Upom that trial wit- must be produced and examined as in other and the legal rights of all parties then aro vecured tothem, ‘The final words of the first question, as proposed by the bankrupts’ counsel, assumed the proceedings 10 be adverse to the bankrupts; and an Adverse proceeding without right to appear and defend Weemed unjust, Butif the foregoing paragraphs are fot mistaken those tinal words uced qualification, The case was certified to the United States District Court, ind was argued by F. N. Bangs for the bankrupts, Edward A. Brown for the opposing creditors. Yester- fay Judge Blatchford rendered his opinion, cuncur- Ang in the opinion of tho Register, A QUESTION OF IDENTITY. The interesting and novel nature of the detence set up by Mr. A. Oakey Hall in the case of a prisoner placed on trial on Monday, before Judge Davis, for forgery under the name of Charles Ralston, alias Walter A. Stuart, alias Walter A. Sheridan, drew to the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday as many spectators as could in admission, District Attorney Phelps claims that she prisoner 18 a notorious forger end bank robber, who was a leader in the gang of Roberts and Gleason, who negotiated forged railway bonds to such an extent 4n 1873 as to causea panic in Wall street, Mr. A Oakey Hall, prisoner’s counsel, contends, on the other band, that his clientis only an ignorant sueak thief named Walter Sheridan, who has been picked up by the Pink- Brtons and alleged by them to be Ralston in order to obtain a reward offered tor the arrest of the great bond forger by Wall street operators, Mr. Hall pat in his defence yesterday. He called to We stand four of the men who had known Ralston most Intimately, and three of them emphatically declared Yhat the prisoner is not Ralston, while the fourth thought there was a resemblance. r. Thomas L. Bogart testitied that in the spring of 1872 ho repted oflice premises at No. 58 Broadway, and bat he then sub-let desk room to Charles Ralston, who occupied such room until some time late in 1873 Mr, Bogart had no doubt that the prisoner was not Ralston, and upcn examiming the photographs ex- hibited during the trial stated that he could perceive between them. and his whilom tenant, ¢, Whe did business in the same oflice, ' miliar with the appearance of Ralston for some two years, said Ralston and the pris- oner were different men. airs, Hyde, janitor ot the building, swore positively the prisoner Was not Ralston, while'’a Mr. Bond, from whom the latter had hired office room previously to his renting desk room trom Mr. Bogart, thought he was. Mr. K. B. Wilson, of No, 160 Fultonstreet, who had seen Raiston sever sin 1872-3, thought the prise onor did not look like Ralston at all, When he lett the stand Mr, Wilson stated to an acquaintance that he had studied phrenology, and always particularly no- pppos and was ticed the form of the heads and features of persons he met, and that the prisoner's face did not correspond with » vivid impression ne had of Ralston’s face, With respect to the photograph said by the prosecu- to bea picture of Raiston taken previously to witnesses could not have been more contradic- tory. One thought itlooked like Ralston’s nose, an- other that it corresponded with his forehead, while a third thought it did not resemble him at all. All, however, agreed that the lower part of the prisoner's did not resemble | Raiston’s, as indeed it would cely have done, inasmuch as the latter.previous to the time of his big Wall street operations, wore a heavy beard. When the Court adjourned iast night the tes. timony was allin and the case willbe summed up this morning. ALLEGED ILLEGAL CORPORATION. Some three years ago a corporation announcing itseifas tho National Water Works Company of Now York, made a contract with the city of Kansas, Mo., for supplying water to that city. As such company, it fs alleged, they issued $800,000 worth of pretended stock of such corporate body as and tor full paid stock thereof to divers individuals in payment of the alieged services done and alleged moneys expenced in secur- ing to such corporate bedy the aforesaid contract with the said city of Kansas; also that of acting as such body corporate under the aforesaid name in the making, executing and’ issuing, or offering to issue, certain bonds by and under such pamo aforesaid for the payment of money to the ammount of $900,000 or thereabouts, and in the making, executing and placing or causing $o be placed on record, in the vilice of the Registrar of the city and county of New York and elsewhere, in or about the month of August, 1$74, a mortgage by and under such name aforesaid to secure the payment of further alleged that on January ry 19, 1 ‘ation apnounc e Natio Company of rk, ied i$ annual report. It is claumed that no uch corporate body bas ever been chartered under the laws of this State, and action has been brought by Ate torney General Fairchild to deciare null and void ite contracts, it being set forth in the complaint that the action § take by uch alleged company ls ‘in contempt of the people of the State pf New York, and to their great damage and prejudice and against their dignity.’’ From a terther erusal of the complaint, which is placed on file in he County Clerk's office, it appears that the parties comprising the corporation named are Robers W. Donald, Giles E. Taintor, Wiliam EB. Cox, George W. Holt and George B. Vourbis; that for the past two Years thoy have acted as such corporation, and that ‘Under the powers allezed to be imposed on buch cor. poration they have announced their readiness to ine {roduc water works into apy city in the Union. The complaint is that they have never been incorporated ; that they are not vested with any of the power Claim to possess, and that they should be del from exercising any of the functions belonging to properly organtzed corporation. Attorney General Fairchild, in bringing his complaint, asks that they be prohibited trom making any contraeta under such pomwe, and that the contracts that they have already made be declared nali and void. MATRIMONIAL INFELICITIES, Scarcely a day passes that the courts aro not called Qpon to adjudicate differenees arising out of matrime ‘nial complications, Among the latest casos of ythis specially to which the attention of the courts has beca called, 14 a complaint made by Anna Lyncu against James A. Lynch, from whom sho seeks a séverence of the marital bond on tho ground of alleged cruel and intuman treatment A‘cording to ber story they @ere warried on the 26th of July, 1865, in N Orleans. They lived happily togother unui 1870, at which Ume, having taken up their residence in this sity, be began to abuse and maltreat her im a manner go cruel and inhuman that she was finally fompelied to invoke the arbitration of the courts, She alleges in her complaint that in Decetn- 18; while they were ing at the cormer of abuse being principally the result of delirium caused by excessive drinking. About this time he hurled at her with great violence a china vase, at another time a kerosen Pp and still again w bottle of wi yy thereby endangering her life. Upon this state of facts eutt has been instituted for divorce on the ground of cruel and ipbuman treatment, the complaint to which effect bas been placed on file in the County Clerk's ofce, Of course, as the case stands, it is an ex parte complaint, and when the other side comes to be heard an entire hew complexion may m the matter.

The crop of criminal children i wis olby springs, as a matter of course, from the rank soil of the tenement houses It iw @ discreait to she benevolence and intelligence of New York that vo trully “model house” bas been built here for she poor. The following quotation from the report may prove tateresting to the Board of Education: Another fruitful source of crime, poverty and idle- ness among children t# the lack of any igw compelling education among youths nominally engaged in street trades, This deiect of the Compulsory taw’? will, undoubtedly, in Ume be remedied, and the Board of Euueation, through ite truant agents, will act upon shis large class ag well as upon the truants and idiers, ‘The report continues :— : There have beon provided with homes and employ- mons during the year:— ak 1,717 ‘325 314 Total. ...cceseeees Total sent since 1853, It will be remembered seeeeee . 44,578 atfor years we bave been urging the foundation of an uptown lodging house on tue enst side, nese Thirty-Afth etreet, This was kindly brought about last winter by the assistance of a benevolent lady and geutieman, y the lodging house are hi f at No. 314 East Thirty-fifto street, sumed the expense of nearly all construction and outtit excopt for the outer walis and stairways, WORK OF THY THAR, Thero were during the past year in our six lodging houses 14,684 different boys and girls; 266,665 meais and 198,618 fodgings were supplied.

SICK CRILDREN'S FUND, * In no summer has 80 much been accomplished and so judiciously by. this branch of our charny as darin; the past summer. Mr. Caider’s interesting report wil! give the details, In addition to 1,253 cases relieved by him the West Side branch, the teachers and visitors, have aided 517 persons, mainly during the winter. Tho teachers form an admirable corps for distributing medicines and sick supplies, as they reach some 5,000 children and are well acquainted with the most necdy families whose little ones are inthe schools. This form of affording aid entails no expense for labor and 18 soldom liable to imposition, Nothing, however, is given out by the society for this purpose, except it is sent in for this especial object. In many respects this has been the most tmportant year cf the society’s beneficent work; a greater num- ber of homeless cuildren haye been sheltered, fedand taught in our lodging houses than ever before; a groater number of destitute children having homes, have been taught, fed and clothed in our industrial schools; nearly the same number of homeless bave been sent to homes and places of employment, whilo the accounts from those previousiy sent singularly encouraging.
