“THE COURTS. The Sad Undercurrent of Dissonant Social Relations. DIVORCE, STRATEGY AND MARRIAGE New Bankruptcy Rules in the United States Courts. LAW’S MESHES. *: IN THE Some very singular features have just been brought to light through a writ of habeas corpus granted by Judge Pouohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers, having for {ts ovject the settlement of the ques- tion whether the father or the mother shall be entitled to the custody of a beautiful young girl of sweet sixteen, named da W. M. Hill, The story develops an unwonted interminging of sad and romantic features, The father of the yonng lnay is Walter 8. Hill, the general. manager of the so-called National Literary ond Lecture Bureau in this city. | Ho was married in 1859 to Josephine W. Griswold, who at that time was tbe betie of Waterbury, Conn., the place where they were marriea, Thetr married Ife was an exceedingly happy one for several years, when baving discovered, as he claims, a forget{uiness ot her murital vows on the part of his wife, he insti Quted a suit tor divorce agaiust her, The trial exerted # good deal of attention at the time, ana tinally col ‘ minated in a deeree being granted in bis favog, whic deeree gave to him the custody of their on cmld, the daughter whose bame 18 given above, and privilege of remarrying, bat atlorded no such privilege to the divorced wi the child had beeu in the care of her mother, As secon aS tho result of the divorce became known, the mother suddenly disappeared and the child with her, It took a long and energetic seareh to obtain traces of tue 1ngi- tives.” Obtaining the assistance ot skilled detectives the search was unremitting, when the cniid was finally found ata convent tn Terre Haute, where the mother had left her, noping to hide all traces of ber from her father. Having obtained possession of bis chid Mr. Hillsent her to his tather’s who was a wealthy farmer living near New Haven, Conn, two or three years she has been attending a prominent lady's school In New Have sessor of ungsuel pe shows the culture and refivement incidental to her caretul education 10 eeordance with most approved modern methoas ot female evucation, A lew days since she caine to this city to pay a visit to her futher, went out to take a walk and did not return. thuber of course became anxious, und at once again Dad recourse to detectives, including lady detectives, to find her whereabouts, The result of these searet: ing inquiries, as he states mm his petition, was that she had met her mothor, who either induced her to go to ber house and remain with her, or xept her under re- straint, Wishing to avain recover his daughter be obtained a writ of habeas corpus, To conduct th Jegal proceedings he employed Mr, Geo Becker, a — luwyer —_ conspieuousiy known to faine as the detender of Roto at tue latter’s trial at Binghamton, The young lady was to have been produced in court yesterday before Judge Dono- hue pursuant to the writ, when’ the fact was ascet ta hat in the meantime she haa got married. What are you going to do about it?” asked Jucge Donobue of Mr. Becker aiter tho Jatter had explained his new phure in the case, “L think wo will have to let her stay married,” re- phea Mr. Becker, “and make the best of it” THE QUIRKS OF THE LAW. According to the aftidavit of Mr, George Hoffman he was somewhat unfortunate in selecting Isadore Wormser as a party from whom to borrow monoy on the trustworthy collateral of bond and mortgage on Fifth avenue property, and still more unfortunate in having secured as bis lawyer Jobn M. Quirk. While one, however, is evidently endeavoring to worm bim out of his estate, the other has been professionally zealous in giving him sume new points us to the quirks of the jaw. Mr. Hoffman says he is the owner in fee of No. 559 Filth avenue, He de- ciares ghat the property is worth $166,000, and that ho 18 now negotiating for its sale, and will probably be abie to consummate a bargain if be 18 not estopped by a foreciosure = suit, suit being to ‘oreclose on a second mortgage for $25,000, Having been advised that Mr. Quirk was “a gentleman learned in the law?—this is the exuct language Of the aflidavit—he employed fim as bts legal adviser. An answer wis drawn up in the suit, which he duly gned. To his subsequent inquiries he was told that everything was progressing very favorably; tbat he need give himself no uneasiness, and “that everything would come out all fight Three days ago, to, his utter astonishment, he saw a paragraph in the paper apnonacing ao le unaer this foreclosure suit. He called at once upon Mr. Quirk, who at first denied shat there nas to be any salt, but, upon betng closely pressed, admitted the fact, byt vgain told him not to be unessy, as the tule would not take place, On she next day he found that a judgment bad been entered aguinst bim, with- Out any notice to him of any examfhation of trial in the case, Alarmed at the state of affairs and having become suspicious at Mr. Quirk he employed Messrz, Sullivan, Kobbe & Fowler to take the case ip band. He went to Mr. Quirk’s office to get the papers, but Mr. Quirk was not to be found, He next dis- covered that one of the members ot the firm just men- toned was a celative of one of the plainutl and, therefore, they could not prosecute the suit ior him. Under these circumstances he made an affidavit embodying the fnets submitted above, and the same was presented to Judge Donohue yesterday, in Su- premo Court, Chambers. Judge Donohue at once put ‘an extoppel on any further proceeding on tho part of Mr. Wormser’s counsel, and set the case down tora hearing on vext Tuesday.

Shortly after ten o'clock yesterday morning the trial of the suit bronght by Oswald Miller against his wife, Margaret Miller, for ubsolute divorce, ou the ground of adultery, was resumed im tho Brooklyn City Court betore Judge McCue anda jury, Tho platotiff, a laxen | hatred younz man of mild expressivn, occupied his | accnstomed sort by the side of bis cdunsel, Mr, Ma- | guire, while his wile, the defendant, sat weeping and looking careworn near an aged Indy and her Wttlo davghter, a protty child of four years, Tho gallery and lower part of thé court room wero | | crowded inevery part by amorbidly curious assem. blage of oll men aud boys, The evidence having been concluded the day previous, Counsolur Weinberg ad- dressed the jury in veil of the detence. He reviewed | the evidence ngainst bis client at great length, and ar- tho Witnesses presented by the prosecution were unwerthy of belief; that their statements in rela- tion to suspicious circumstances attending their obser- | vattons of the defendant and the parties with whom she was alleged to bave been on terms of criminal mtimecy were simply absurd, The counsel contended that Max afiller, the father ol the plantiM, was the chief obstacle in effecting a recon- citation of tho troubles between the litigants, and that the father bad intimated that he would spend $10,000 to obtain the divorce of tho parties. The verdict of the jury weuld either brand the defendant | ‘a6 an intamous womun, or reinstate her in the houses hold of her husband, where she wuald be received if the harband did not fear that ho would be disinherited by bts wealthy father, When the counsel depicted tho present forlorn condition of the young wifo and Mother, who was without father, mother or fricuds, deserted by ner husoand and unable to supply ber Iittle children with iood, the delendant” wept | Plteonsly, and it touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts .of the jurors and — specta- tors. The counsel = forthe plurntiff, in summing up, contended that tho evidence nddueed was of acharacter to entitle bis client to a voriict. In charging the jury Judgo McCue instructed them upon t act issues on which they wero required to find a verdict, and characterized the testimony of De, | MeManus, who was committed to jail tor perjury, as vory despicable, und hoe questioned whether they should give credence to anything to whieh the Doctor bad testitied, [1 the jury believed that the visits McManus were of a professioval chaw ana tbat even upon those vccasions when they wero made at unseemly hours, if reconctiable with that supposition then the detond- ant was entitled to the beneft of the doubt, The jury retired to deliberate, and after an absence ot about one hour returned with a verdict for the detendant.
