THE COURTS. — The Fight Against Forfeiture of | Tweed’s Bail Bonds, Tweed's Travels and Devlin's Discomfiture. Trickery and Penance in Divérce Proceedings. The “ Tribune’s” Needles Piercing the “Sun.” The fight from this city of William M. Tweed and his sojourn abroad did not bring aiscom@ture alone to Sherif Conver, but was a discouraging drawback to | his sureties on tho bail bonds given in the carly stages | Of the litigious prosecutions onstituted aginst tho | head and jfrout of the new Coert House Ring, Mr. | Charles Devlin, once the bosom friend of the ex-Boss, and who regarded the Jatter as his patron sajut, was | surety on five bail bonds given as guaranty for Mr. Tweed’s appearance at the Court of Oyer and Ter- tainer to wer five criminal indictments found by the Grand Jury of that tribuval. These bouds were given | on February 20, 1873, but through the strategic | manceuvres of counsel tho. trial of the cases was Postponed, On the 18th of December, 1876, Tweed was called for trial, but Mr. Tweed | had meantime changed his mind In regard to standing trial, and also had changed metropolitan air for more congenial climes across the sea. The result was a declaration of forfeiture of the bail bonds, This was Not satisfactory to Mr. Devlin, and he took tho ground that he could not be held responsible for the produc- tion of Mr, Tweed, as he had been deprived of bis custody through his escape trom the Sherif. The various legal proceedings that have been instituted since with-a view to test the question of the liability | ot dir, Devlin bave been given in the Henaup. A icw | days since an order to show canse why the judgment | entered on the recognizunces should not be.vacated | wus granted, aud the case came up for argument be- | fore Judge Brady, in Supreme Court, Chambers. A decision in the case was given yesterday vy Judgo Brady, the following veing his opinion: — Yhe order forfeiting the recogu:zances against Mr. Devlin and the certiorari to remove the proceedings | were signed within a few minutes of euch other and | Delore the order wag fled in the County Clerk’s office. ‘Vhe recognizance and a certified copy of the order of | sorie.ture, though it Jormed @ judgment record, did not | scone alien until filed im ‘the oflice of the County | tk, und before this was done, as stated, the certo twas signed, The eflect of the latter process was the proceedings, aud the record of the jud; dient Was tw violation of this result thereupon, This «el Was DOL designedly but innocently done, The effect vl (ho ruling, however, was to peed a Judgment ot \i¢ Commou Pleas, and nov of this Court; and this ‘ourt, While ona motion it ray declare in’ reference to the proceedings had that the judgment as a record and lien was unauthorized, cunvot declare Jt inoperative, The remedy is’ an application to the Court of Common Pleas. ‘the proceedings on the part of Mr. Deviin, in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, were to preveat the judgment, believing that under the facts disclosed be was not buund to Dracut his principal, aga, to enable bim to test the question, the certiorari was allowed, The learned Justice then Presiding in that court confirms this statement of the | Lior Mr, Devin. The General Term has sinco red, and that the proceedingy in that court wore duly authorized and right, The judgment, neverthe- less, entered by mistake, was not authorized because ofthe stay mentioned. This Court, on a motion how- ever 1m the proceeding, cannot set it aside because it is not ajudgment of this Court, The remedy here must be by action. How far the subsequent sffrma- tion of the order of forfeiture by the General Term of this court would affect the relict sought is a matter mot necessary now to Le discussed, »: ZESTHETIOS OF DIVORCE SUITS. Clouds of darker mystery overshadow divorce pro- ceedings in the courts than any other branch of litiga- tion, The facility with which divorces are sometimes Procured only deepens the mystery. A case throwing | fome light on the subject is the suit for divorce brought by Mercer F, Duryea against EmmaG. Dur- yea. The suit was commenced in July last, a divorce ; being soughton the ground of the alleged adultery of the wile, After the usual preliminary granting of ali- | mony and counsel fee the case was referred to Mr. Frederick Smythe to take the testimony in thé case. Inthe meantime a cross action for divoree was insti- tuted by tho wife against her husband for divorce, in which a similar charge of marital unfaithiulness was es ha against him, sod such charge forming the asia of the counter suit, Most positive testimony | ‘Was given belore. the releree substantiating the accusa- tion against Mrs, Duryea, but the jatter’s counsel, M) Joba Mott, with the keen intuition that cated testiinony to enable the husband to get ri which, combined with Dis own subsequent investiga- tions to establish the iulsity of their testimony laid dure the plot. Instead of getting the divorce sought lor vy Str. Duryea the tables were turned against Mim, and a decree of divorce was granted in favor of Mrs. Dur- yea, such decree being grauted by Judge Biauy-upon | tue Feport of the releree. This is regarded as a sam- | ple case Of many divorce proceedings, which unfortu- | nately ireqientiy terminate in tavor of those bringing the sults and trumping up testimony to accomplish | their purpose. | Preferred stock ou which a dividend of ten per cent ute, and which there was no doubt of thi ‘obligation to pay. On the part of the ds was insisted that there was neither an obliga- tion mm law, Bor any promise on ther part to pay this expense; and itn any event they could not be heid responsible for about $150 of the amount charged extra tor Sunday and ig! work. Alter defendant's testimony was completed Mr. Eog- land was again placed on the stand, aud, oo bebalf of the plaintifts, reasserted bis reco!tection that Mr. Ford had promised on the part of the ridune to pay the ex. pense, and that threats had been made to run the Tribune's needies into the Sun’s machinery and smash 1. Alter summing up of the case, by Mr. KB. A. Runkle, op the part of the Zrivune, and Mr. Willard Bartlett, on the part of the Sun, Judge Sedgwick cbarged the jury, submitting to them only the ques- tion whether the representatives of the 7rivune had agreed to pay the bills; whether they bad assented to the extra charge made for Sunday and night work, and whether those extra ebarges were proper. The ‘jury had failed to agree at the hour of adjournment ‘and were placed in charge of “an officer, with orders to bring in @ sealed veraict. DELUGE OF RAILROAD esUITS. As recently announced in the HxRaco, ten suits have been brought against the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern Railroad Company tor payment of divi dends on stock exchanged for Illinois and Northera Indiana Railroad stock after its consolidation with the Lake Shore road, The initial of these suits, brought vy George 3. Boardman, came to trial yesterday vetore Judge Barrett, holding Supreme Court, Special Term, Thecomplaint sets forth that the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Raijroad im 1857 bad claims against it for more than $2,000,000, aud that to meet this more than’ $1,400,000 were ratsed Uy the issue of was to be semi-annually paid in New York, and of which plainti! holds certain shares; thas for the six months preceding January 1, 1857, the com- pany earned enough for a first dividend on the eusuing Six months, but never patd any until 1863, when a semi-unnual dividend of five per cent was paid tor the SIX mouths last preceding, and that tn 1869 the com. pany applied its earnings, to the amount of $109,180, as dividends on the common instead of the preferred Stock. A statement touching the consolidation of this company with the Lake Shore Railroad follow! ri plaivtif prays for judgment agamst the new company for all arrears before 1863, The answer ts ageneral de- nial, with the specific averments thay the court has no | jurisdiction, aud that If any promise was made to pay dividends before 1863 it was contrary to the laws of the States incorporating the several railroads, 1t denies ability to pay beiore that date and sete up the statute of limitations. The trial wil: probably occupy soveral days. Messrs, Birdseye, Cloud and Bayliss appoer for the plaintiffs and Mr. Matthews for the ae- fendants. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

O. Marsh, | fiom her busband, Arihar E. Marsh, on the groubda or adultery, she states iu ber complaint that they were marred in England tu Octover, 1867, and lived to- gether ustil tho fires of ast January; that he then | commeneed living in open adultery with ove Sallie | Henderson; at. that time he abandoned her, but tur. | nished her with $15 a week for ler support, aud unul | tue 18th of November last, s'uce which time he has | ut provided her with why means of living; (hat she 1g eutirely destitate, and that 1s imeome ts $4,000, year, as saicsman ior Tuomas Netsou & Son. The usual fh was made tor alimony and counsel fee. In to ts application the defendant put im an | stalipg some rather siugular facta. | Says, | among other things, that bia | | present salary is only $2,500 a year; that on the Isth of January of this year’ he ‘had over- drawn his salary $2,193 70; that to iiquiaate this overdralt he has arranged with bis employers w vo | juid only $1,400 yeur until the umount of his in- | debtedpesy 18 cancelled, aad that be pas no persoual Property except his wardrobe and no money on hand | tna no ineans of obtamiug any beyond bis salary. He says, further, that he is Wiiling to pay the plaintiff $12 week and $50 counsel fee, the latter sum, as tuinks, being ample to componsate counsel ior their services. He accounts his overdrait, ag stated above, to expenses mecurred by plainaf in two trips to | Europe in the jast two years. The most striking fen- | ture im the affidavit is We following clause, wuich ts self-explanatory :—‘That this action, and the publi- city given to iUby the pitinuf, has made deponent’s position with ga:d firm extremely precarious, and de- ponent 1s habie at any moment 10 lose the suing, said firin betoy engaged finost exclusively iu the publics tion of Sunday schoo! and othor religious works." Judge Brady, before whom the caso was subinitiied in Supreme Court, Chambers, gave’ an order yesterday drecting the defendant to pay the plainuf $5 weekly and $10 to her counsel.

Muckay aud Kolly tor the defendant, THE “TALL TOWER” LITIGATION, | Already there has been tried, decided aud publishod | the litigation between the Sun Publishing and Printing | Association and the Tribune Association, based upon a | slaim by tho former that the foundation of the party | wall of the latter’s building encroacheu a tew inches on | the Sun's lot. Yesterday, in the Superior Court, be- | fore Judge Sedgwick and a jury, there came on for | trial another suit between the sate parties, which is a | sort of appendix to the first, It appears that when, | andor the statute, the ‘ribwne people were taking | Measures to support the Sun’s wall against the effect of the Tribune's excavation it became necessary to run | the Tribune's necdles through the Sun's wail to & distance of about twelve feet. Inside the | Sun building, “and” within about five or six feet of the wall to be supported, were the printing presses | and other machinery of the Sua, tue removal uf | whieh became necessary in order to protect it trom injury by the Tribune's needles, The machinery was | removed to a secure position by we Sun people, as Ubey claim, 10 pursuance of an understanding with Mr. Ford, the business manager cf the /ribune, that the | bills for the expense of the removal coula be it wo him and would pay them. When the work was | completed bdilis were sent fo him to the extent of | $561 68, pay tof which was refused by Mr. Ford | on the ground that the 7ridune was responsible for the expense of supporting the wall, but not for the ox- pense of the removal of the Sun's machinery weces- gary to facilitate the work of supporting, For the re- covery of the amount of these bills tho present suit | was Lrought The testimony of Mr. Engiand, of the Sun, was to the eflect that, in a conversation with Mr.’ Ford, of tho @, velore the work was done, the latter bud promised to pay the | expense. In oppoftion to this Mr. Ford testified | thay he never made such promise. Mr. O’Brien, the contractor for tho 7ribwne’s excavation, denied, 10 the best of bit knowledge, that he ever threatened to tun the ne’s needles through the Sun’s machinery if the latter Was not taken out of the way. On the part of plaiutiif it was claiined that there was not only a promise on part of the Lribwne to pay the bills in suit, byt that it was also a part of the expense of upholding the wall Which was contemplated by sin does business in this eity he is nut a resident of this State, bat a resident of New Jersey; not residing in the State he is not so subject to the jurisdiction of the Court as it seems to me a trastec should be.

It does not require argument or any very forcible | language to depict the. struggles of poor mechanics when in their last effort to maintain themselves Facts speak better than words, and in this city at the present time the facts are abundant, There 1s very little dif- ference amoug tho workingien tn the steps vy which they have come down to penury. ‘The savings of inost of | them for three years past did not amount to much, and were not suflicient to meet any extended season af idleness, had families to suppors there wore po savings at ali, tor during theee three years work has vot been steady, and the resuit in wages uot moro than sufficient to supply the necessaries of life, Ov an average, it may be said that tue men now unemployed aaye been out of work for the past threo mouths; thie, making with the ensuing threo months, a total of siz months of idleness, a sirain that in these days not one out of a bundred workingmen could stand. AT THE POLICE COURTS. At the Tombs, Essex Markes and the Filty-nloth Strect Police courts the unemployed continue to apply for committals to the Almshouso on the Island, It ‘was stated yesterday to the Huxa.p reporter by a me- chapic, who 1s fortunate endugh to be at work, that the number of applicants would be far groator were tt not that they feel persuaded thore will be something 00h done in their behalf, and that they will be spared what thoy consider to be the degradation of the Isiand, It ts @ fact that the men feel mortitiod and humiliated ay the thought of becoming inmates of tho Almshouse, nota little to Go with which teeling is the taint that clings to the very name of the county institutions, In the repeated interviews the reporter bas bad with the workingmen awaiting at the prigon transfer to the Island, they have been in nearly every instagce care- ful to ask that their names should not be published, Relow will be found the pith of some of these conver. gations, INTERVIEWS WITH THE MEN. A painter met at the Tombs said:—“This is my drst visit to the Island, & mochapic would lave to go to the almshouse for want of work, but soit is, Four months of u pretty tough tyme, even in tho best of it, is moro than a man can stand. Ilook hearty and strong at thia moment, bat I don’t believe that even with good food every day I should be able vo work steady for a week. [ tell you that when you havo to live on poor fare, and but little of even that, it takes the strength out of you sooner than you would think. I ocver knew until this time what 1618 10 want food, nor what tho feelings of a man aro when ho has not @ piace to lay his head, Talk ag you Irke, but a man does not understand hunger until he nas bad experience of it. Hunger makes you seo the world as it is, and is drst race to show you who your friends oro,”? A baker said:—*'During five months 1 worked about seventecn days inall, 1 bever wanted a few loaves of vread, but lorseven weeks that was alll had. 1 think ‘Leould bave beld out only for the rent. Iand my family were putout three times, There was no use trying to p' through any longer, My wite went to hve with a swler of hers and took the youngest child, a little girl, Another girl apd a boy were sent to the iystitution at Fordhatn, God only knows if wo ever suall hve again togetbor. i am not myself the man 1 usedto be.

The reporter called on Captain Kennedy at the Ninth precinet station house to hear his views on the Workiogmen’s distress. ‘The Captain was so long in charge of the Sixth precinet, a locality abounding in poverty and Wretebedness, that lis observations of (he botneless aad disifessed, 1! apy such were now frequenters of bis precinct, Would Leof value, In the Niuth precinct, however, there t# very little of that poverty the ery from which is now beginning to starve the city, and, 48 he said himself, he did not wish to speak Of any other wardouliciaily.
