THE COURTS. either dicioimeseecie Important Questions of Law and Commercial Credit. TWO CURIOUS SLANDER CASES. The Everlasting Militia Wrangle. THE NILES ESTATE. A case of much importance in relation to civil arrests and commercial credit was before the Supreme “Court yesterday, in August last Morria Weinberg, « banker at No, 15 Wall street, was arrested under the Non-imprisonment act on the sworn allegation of tne firm of Carpenter & Girard, that he bad told them that one Abraham Isaacs was worthy of credit, una on the faith of that recommendation they had sold Isaacs mbout $3,000 worth of cigars, of which $2,000 had Deon paid, leaving @ valance of $1,000, The affidavit farther alleged that Wemberg knew at the time he recommended him that Isaacs was dosolvent, and am action was brought to recover irom Weinberg the amount of the unpaid bal- ance due from Isaacs, The latter, however, was not madeaparty to the action, Mr. Weinberg, through Mr. Pape, his attorney, controverted the allegations apd gave bail tor his appearance. During the last five months evidence has been taken on both sides, which bas swelled to extraordinary proportions, At the Blose of the taking of testimony last Wednes- y @ motion was made by Mr. Weinberg’s Attorney to ate «othe «order «and = quash the proceedings. Argument on this motion was made yesterday before Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Chambers, Mr. Henry S. Beunett appearing aa Counsel on behalf of Mr, Weinberg and Mr. Fine for the petitioners. Mr. Bennett, as he said, being entirely unacquainted with the evidenco taken in the case, confined himself exclusively to the question of juris- diction, Mr, Pape, the attorney, reserving the privi- lege granted by the Vourt to prepare points on the eve dence to bo hereafter submitted, Mr, Behnett Claimed that the Justice had no jurisdiction aut the order of arrest in the cuse, causa no action had been commenced by the actual servico of a summons on the de- fendant; that the order to arrest under the code must Dot be confounded with the order of arrest under tho Non-imprisonment act; that the latter was strictly statutory, and personal service on the defendant was 10 be- indispensable to confer jurisdiction; that there were only two matters in which the Court could gain, jurisdiction under the code—the one by personal service on the defendant within the State, the orher by seizure of the property of tho agiendant within the State, In the latter case they acquired jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy, while in the former they obtainea jurisdiction over his sob, That 4 was truo that under the ninety-ninth section of the code it had been aeelured that for certain purposes an tion is to be deemed commenced by the delivery of ® summons to the Sheriff with the intent to have it | served. But that was intended solely to prevent the Btatute of limitaions trom taking. ellect, Jurisdiction of the person was not thereby conferred. It was simply to indicate the intent of a plaintill to enforce his remedy against the delenaant, who might, without that act, avail himself of the statute of limitations to defeat an honest debt, in fupport of this position, a very large number of au- thorities were quoted, counsel saying there was but one authority against ‘the position, and that a Special Term decision which had bi unilormly disregarded, Al the close of the arguinent counsel stated that Mr. Pape, the attorney, would submit an argument in wri- ‘Ung on the merits which would show that Mr. Wein- Derg acted in periect g:od faith in recommending Mr. Isaucs, That at that time Mr. [saaes was a heavy de- positor with Mr, Weinberg and ted him to believe what he had full reason to believe, that he had ample means, but that shortly’ after he Isaacs) had obtained Mr. Weinberg’s recommendation, ¢ had not only withdrawn bis deposits, but had over- Grawn his account and became heavily in his del Mr. Fine followed in opposition, maintaining that the Court had jurisdiction, and that the evidence tended to sbow that Mr. Weinberg and Mr, Isaacs had con- Fpired together to defraud Messrs. Carpenier and others of a large amount of goods; that’ Isuacs was worthless, and with him Werberg was inter. ested to obtain a portion of the proceeds, The case excites much interest on the questions of law tn- Yolved as well as in relation 16 the insinuations Against Mr. Weinberg, which he claims to be wholly Without foundation if not malicious and vindictive At may be added in this connection that a brief stat Ment of the case heretofore published did injustice to Mr, Weinberg, who, it is claimed, has held and still holds positions of trust and standing in this city. * A SLANDER SUIT. A motion was made before Judge J. F. Daly, in Com- mon Pleas,pChambers, yesterday, to vacate a judgment obtained by one Hans Pieffer against Philip Hossen- Jopp and Magdalena, bis wife, for’ $2,000 damages, ba- fore a sherifi’s Jury, by default on the 15th inst, The ®ction was brought by the plaintiff tor $5,000 damages for slander, avd the defendants failed 4o appear or to interpose an answer. It appeared on the argument of the motion that the plaintifl, a young man of twenty-three years, was en- gaged for a long time past to Miss Emma Betzger. Ne boarded for a number of years with the detendants, bat baving moved away and ceased visiting a Jager beer saloon kept by them, the defendant Magdalena gaid sbe would get square with him, and to do go in- formed his aflianced’s mother that he was an impure and improper young visiting improper places, The result was that the young lady, on hearing this from her mother, broke olf the engagement and re- fused to marry bim, Ex-Judgo Van Cott appeared on behalf of the de- fendants and argued that they, being Germans and ig- horaut ol the law, should be excused from not answer- Jog io time, and that as the oflidavit on the part of tue @efendants showed that what defendant Magdalena said was with good intent and without malice, that the judgment ought not to stand, Judge Flanagan, on behalt of the plaintil and in opposition to the motion, argea that ignurauce of the law excuses no man, and that the young lady’s mother made Mdavit (which was read to” the Court) that he Was not intimate with either of the defendants, and that the remarks were made inaepirit of hatred snd uot with good intent. He also produced pluin- tif's affidavit, as well as chat of his physician, denying uli the allegations of the defendant, and claimed that the judgment ought to stand as security, at least, if the Court should come to the conclusion ‘that the de- Jault should be opened. Tt was stated that the defend. ants were entitled to no favors at the hands ot the Court, inasmuch us they bad sought to mortgage their property ince the commencement of the action, tor the purpose of keeping the plautifl from recovering any Judgment that he might obtain In the action, Counsel stated that the defendant Philp was pres ent m court, and that if be demea under oath that ho had endeavored to mortgage bis property, as he (the counsel) alieged, he would consent to the granting ot the order at once, but neither defendant nor his coun- Bel acceded to the proposition. ‘The Court took the papers and reserved decision. THE NILES ESLATR, Thé motion for an accounting by tho executors of the estate of Dr. Nuthaniol Niles ana for the appoint. mont of a receiver pending the decision was argued by Richard Busteed and W. W. Niles before Judge Dono- hue in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, Ex-Judge Busteed, 1 arguing the case, gave a history of the Niles family, the substance of which bas already Deen published. He then made an elaborate argument in support of the motion, and, after hearing Mr, Niles iu opposition, Judge Donohue took the papers, reserv- fog bis decteion Judge Busteed stated that on the accounting he had with the defendant the infanvs guardian, Pasquel W, Turney, was allowed $1,000, Lis partner was allowed $500 and the defondant was allowed $2,000, which wus paid to Niles and Bagley. Cownse! also statod that the defendant had allowed unjucumbered lots to be suld for taxes. Mr. W. H. Niles in opposition read an affidavit made by the defendant setting forth that this was an attempt to take and throw the estate into the hands ot a re- ceiver on a chambers motion, 6, and in the past twenty-one 000 out of the estate, One of for busband Gevoral Grant’s right | man, who holds a most Incrative oilice, und the other to a husband who has the blood of ail ine Howards of Europe and doubtless the hereditary genius and energy of the nobility to support ber, De- Jendant turther says his relations with bis coustus are of the most friendly character, and that the suit was | instituted aguinst their remonstrance by the husband of one of them, Mr, Wilbeaux, Ax to the $2,000, it Was not ko much lor going through the complicated becounts Of sIx years. Delendaut adds that Wilbeaux {ewithout meuns, and that this proceeding was taken with a view of making him trustee of the estate, So fur from plaintifis kccounting, they were ‘represented by Mr. Hurrison, fnd Judge Bustoed was there on bebalf of is relative, the busband of one of them, A MACARONI SLANDER. One year ago this prosant month Montigriffo and Gheglione, Italians, had a suit in tho Second District Court, corner of Pearl and Centre streets, in which Gheglione was worsted to the extent of $11, On the trial Gerslina Busso, sister of the defendant, took part against bim in the capagity of a witness, Whon the parties got outside the court Angelo Gheglione used toward his sister language which, it is alleged, im. puted to her improper relations with Moutigrifo Viuinufls have five | ot beiny represented at the | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 187 a ey MO Loe ay py ae paseaiet ys attor this occurrence the sister went to there again, she toward her. For this ght a suit against bom, ted therein, and laying damages having bit at $2,000, The trial of the cause took place in the Marine Court yesterasy beiore Judge Sheridan and @ jury. All the parties and a number of their trends were present in court. On the second occasion, when the plainiil! was siandered by ber brother, as alleged, she went to demand payment of the aote which abe id st hun; be said could not give her more than $10 or $15 on account, but would pay the balance in about a month, or would give ber macaroni tor This she indignantly refused, aud said she would moke him suffer, His reply, according to the testimony in the case, was that she sould not yet water from u rock by kicking it, and then tol- lowed, according to the testimony on plaintift’s side, a repetition of the offensive language on which her suit is based, The witnesses ov the respective sides wei in conflict as to whether the objectionable langua was used, the plaintiff and one or two others on her side asserting that tt was, while defendant and aiso several of his triends who were in a position to hear tnsistea that no such words bad been uttered by hit Mr. Benjamin F. Russell, counsel for the defendant, insisted (hut the action must have grown out of a mis- apprehension on the purt of plaintiff as to the lup- guage used by ber brother, and the jury rejoiced: the heart of bis cent by a verdict against bim for only + tWenty-live cents, A MILITARY WRANGLE. George Perault was, in 1867 elected a member of Company F, Seventh regiment, He served six years, and being arraigned before a court martial upon charges of alleged delinquencies and deficiencies, was expelled, Last tall he appeuled to be reistated on the ground that the meeting of the company at which he wus expelled wag not a jogal meeting, {or the reason that the captain of the company, whose duty it was to preside, did not so do, although present at the time, The matter having been brought before Juuge Westbrook, thea holding Special erm, he, after hearing an elaborate argument entered an order reiustating Mr. Porauit, whereupon the latter again entered upon his duties as member of the regiment. Later still, Perault was served with another notice to appear at auother court martial to be held at the armory to answer a charge of ‘delinquencies and deficiencies.” He appearca requested and was told by George W. Rand und others comprising the court martial that the charges wero the same that had already been preferred against him 1m @ previous court martial aad had already been passed upon, Upon being informed of this he asked to be aliowed to see counsel, but was refused, The trial was then adjourned, and Mr, Perault in the meantime, through bis counsel, Mr, Henry H. Morange, obtained an injunction restraiuing the detendants, Rand and others, {rom retrying him on the same charges, Judge Brady, however, dissolved this Injunction, and $4 appeal was taken Iroin this order to the General term. Mr. Morange yesterday made a motion before Judge Donohue, tu Supreme Court, Chambers, for judgment on the answer, which he claimed to be trivolous, in- asmuch as itadmits all the allegations upon which tho plaintiff relies, Perault, it is claimed, not only insists that the answer admits that the present court martial are about to retry him on the suo charges, but thut they aver they have a right so touo, Mr, Morange contended that the constitution of the State of New York provides :--"'No person shull bo subject to be twice put in jeopardy for the same of- fence.” And admitting, simply for the wake of arg ment, that a defendant i8 not in jeopardy, as above Stated, yet there can be no question whatever that a party gyainst whom a verdict has been ren- dered has been put im jeopardy. It the defendant—i, ¢, the party accused—bas actually sullered the punishment of the law no future proceed- ings can be carried on against him, An@ a prisoner Aguinst whom @ wrong judgment bas been pronounced, upon a regular tril and conviction, cannot be subjected to another trial, ~The court martial which tried tho plainu herein, in March, 1873, was a legally constituted tribunal gThe offence and charges prelerred — subjected “the plaintiff! to penal- ties, among which was expulsion, the loss of right to exemption Irom military duty, entire obliter- ation of the #ix yeurs he bud already served, immunity from a certain amount of State and city tx, the privi- lege of entering the veterans’ corps, and shall it be said that this ease 18 not one within the meaning, purview and almost literal sense of the prohibition that be shall not be again placed in jeopardy. Even what is termed “American Military Jurispru- dence’? condems and actually prohibits a party from being twice placed in jeopardy for the same offence, And the British statute enacts:—"That no ofiicer or soldicr being acquitted or convicted of any offence shall ve lable to be tried a second time by the any other court martial tor the same oflenc demonsirate to the Court how tender and watehtul were the compilers of the urticles of war, the eighty- eighth article declares, thas “no officer, ‘non-commis- sioned officer, soldier or lullower of the army, shall ve tried a second time for the same offence.” In conclu sion it was claimed that the motion should be | granted, Judge Donohue, ufier an argument in oppo- sition, took the papers, reserving his decision, THAT INCH OF GROUND. A motion was made before Judge Barrett yesterday morning to strike out the allogution of malice from the answer of the beirs of the Schermerhorn estate to the complaint of the’ Equitable Life Assurance Society about the title to the inch of ground next to the Scuermerhorn estate and on which the building of the | Equitable Society stands. The society bus em- ployed prominent surveyors to prevent, as is alleged in the affidavits of the defendants used im the motion, the heirs of defendant irom employing them to survey the lots decded 10 Vheir ancestor. The heirs have sent to Albany to get surveyors, ‘Tho Equitable Society paid one fi of surveyors 210,000 to retain them, | ‘Che expensive tis #Ation, it is Build, grew out of the fact that the Equit- able refused to give the $60,000 demanded by the managers of the ermerborn estate for the privilege of using the hght coming irom ap opeu court m the Schermerhorn jot adjomnyg tho table building into the windows of tuis building, Judge Barrett reserved his decision, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. ‘The motion of George W.

On the morning of Docember 14 she started from her house, No, 455 West Sixteenth street, to look for a situation, and went up Tenth avenue tor the purpose of avoiding Christ, who was loitering in Sixteenth street.

WHAT 18 THOUGHT ABOUT IT IN JERSEY—MRS, SHEPHERD'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE—A PuO- | Exchange yesterday :— POSED TAR AND FEATHER ORUSADE ¥OR- Court, tn fo1 TUNATELY FRUSTRATED BY TOO MUCH WHISEXY—HOW JOUN HEGEMAN EXTORTED A CONFESSION, Nesuanic, N, J., Jan, 23, 1877. Somerset county still continues in a ferment of ¢x- cltement over the Shepherd outrage, As the exami- nation of the parties suspected uf having instigated the affuir approaches, indeed, the popular feeling against them becomes more and more marked. Joseph Hoge- | Court, in foreclosure, Jose man and bis son Jonn, the father and brother of the Victim of the outrage, are busy collecting witnesses for the coming examination on Saturday, and by the time the eventiul day arrives there will be an influx of mountaincers into Plainville that will remind the deni- zens of that quiet hamlet of the historic descent of ‘Attila and his Huns on fated Paris, It 18 @ question whethor the wildest districts in 1 heart of the North Carolina sand hills or the Georgia pine barrens could produce. as utterly shiftiess and som)-savage a clavs as that which has established itself on Neshanic Mountain. The only wonder one could entertain after a visit to Rock Mills and a sight of the Stony Millers would be that the ine dignation of that virtuous gettlement bad halted at tar and feathers, and that the world is not called upon to listen to the details of @ more deadly crime, in fact, for the perpetrators of is downright murder would have been much the safer plan, The savage gullies and lonely forests that break the monotony of the mountain side would hold such secrets sa‘e enough, THE STORY OF MRS. BUKPHERD'S EXPERIENCE has already been made very thoroughly known, Some of the details, however, and some indeed of more than average Interest, have been overlooked, Thoy only lnck the fatal climax indeed to outeHerod even tne evormity at Huntington some years ago. A day or two atter her return from her last absence Mrs. Shepherd became in a measure aware of the fecl- ing that existed or was being fomented in Rock Miils against her, AS a mutter of course, however, she en- tertained no idea of the length to which the brutal:ty of her enemies would go, If she was innocent of the charge upon which the popular enmity was based sho was too proud to attempt to prove it, Even to her Lusband and her own fumily she preserved the same silence in regard to her moveineuts abroad. When she returned she went at once to her own house, and sent | tor ber husband, who was living at his mother’s, They began housekeeping, a8 they had dono before, and lived quietly until the night of the outrage. Knowing the stato of feeling against her, the unfortunate woman never doubted thut sho was the object of the assault. It is spoken of with certaiuty bere that her husband might have remaimed by ber sjde and come off un- harmed, The mob had but one object in view— the disgraceful and brutal one which it accomplished, Mrs, Soepherd’s Knowledge of what fo!lowed alter she loft the house is necessarily impertect, Fright and the premonitory symptoms of ber old epilepuc complaint almost deprived her ot reason, Clad only in her night dress, barefooted aud burelieaded, and hounded by the shouts of the disguised rufflans behind her, she ted down the icy road toward the house of Mrs, Van Liew, less than a quarter of a mile away, Her pursuers were so close belind ter that she could have beard them breathe, At last, when midway be- tween ber house and that at which her cowardly bas- band had already found refuge, she was seized from being and her arms ginioned, She declares that person, was outraged by at least two the miscreants, ven in her — terror recognized the voices of her assailants jar ones, githough her positively identitying them. ‘they surrounded her as she lay extended on the frozen snow im the middle of the road, bowling mad and furious with drink, ‘Their shouts and ttprecations were heard at houses almost balf a mile away, After the pre- luminary ovtrage her night dress was twisted over ber head and ber body and limbs spatiored with tar from a bucket which one of the scoundrels carried, Then she was dragged to her fect and what remained of the contents of the bucket was poured over her bend, Fortunately, the tar cooled rapidly in the bitter air, although the distance from thé grocery where 1t wus beutod to the sceno of the outrage is acarcely an eighth of a mile, and was not hot enough to burn her. ATER FINISHING THEIR WORK the miscreants leit ber where she bad fallen ina fit and returnoa to their rendezvous, There, however, by the advice of Peak, 1t 8 alleged, they wore induced to return and carry her to the stoup of her own house, where she was found, still msensibie, some time alter: ward, In addition to the tar her body was found to bear the marks of severe blows, which she declares came trom Ube feet and filets of her assailants, Hor lett side in particular was beaten almost black, No attempt was mude to remove the tar trom her person until she ufrived at her mother’s house, nearly three miles away, There, after considerable difliculty, it was removed. Yhat'whieh bad been poured on-her Lead, however, hud matted her hair into an tnextri- cable mass, and, cooling, began to shrink and draw the hair out by the roots. As uconsequence it was neces- eary W crop it close to the head, and even then patches of tar were found to have penetrated to the skull itself, it is @ notab.@ feature of the entire outrage that scarcely any of the residents of the section in which it occurred seem to regard itas anything but a huge joke, Among ull tue mountaineers spoken to by the HERALD representative on tho subject only threo con- sidered the process of turring and feathering a halt naked womnan on a winter’s night as anything but an outrageously funny, although somewhat novel, prace tical joke; and even the three exceptions alluded to the matter rather im pity for the trouble in which its authors had involved themselves than Jn any syinpa- thy for the victim, In Neshanic, Somerville and the other towns along the railroad, on the contrary, the perpetrators of the atrocity are everywhere denounced in the strongest terms and with the expressed: hope that justice will not halt in its dealings with them short of State Prison for a jong term, A TAR AND FEATHER CRUSADE. One of the wen implicated in tue affuir is reported to have said:—*Shepherd’s wile wasn't the only one, There’s Mra, —— and Mrs. —'? (enumerating the names of several other women on the mountain) ‘that we intendod to serve the sume way, only the whiskey got the best or the bargain,” HOW THE CRIMINALS WERE TRACKED. Tho manner in which the names of the pare ties concerned in the outrage was obtained 1s certainly as original as everything else about Rock Mills, John Hegeman, the eldest brother | Of the outraged woman, 18 famous throughout this sec- tion ag a perfect athlete and a most daring aud deter- mined w He was, at the tine of the outrage, working on a farm at somo distance trom Rock Mills. As soon as the news ol his sister’s misfortune reached | him he started across the mountain for home. His | way led him past Peak’s grocery and he went in to warm himvell, die bad at that time no idea of who the authors of the outrage were. Amoug the people in the store was young Hoff, and he called him out to inquire some of the particulars of the uffair, Some- thing in Hof’s manner caused bim to suspect him, and he demanded a thorough explanation of the event, Hol! refused to give it and Hegeman knocked him down, As he still persisted in his refusal be received another bow, aud at last, in order to save hitseif troa worse tre , told the story and gave the names of the others concerned. A similar performance with the two Dochertys und Cray produced alike result, lt ts noteworthy here that even in the minutest particulars the different prisoners all told the same story. oft she ag famil- their disguised faces prevented THE PIOUS COUNTERFEITER, YOUNG MAUKER HELD TO AWAIT THE ACTION OF THE GRAND JUKY, James L.
