-THE COURTS. Miseries of Matrimonial Misalliances. A LITERARY MAN’S ESTATE. Extradition of the Alleged Forgers of the | Baron D'Acosse Post Obit. ONE OF TRINITY CHURCH LEASES. ed Tho courts continue to be actively employed in tho adjudication of divorce suits, First in yesterday's list ‘was a case submitted to Judge Sedgwick, of the Saperior Court, for arbitration. Ferdinand Wed- Meyer, the plamtit in this action, became a happy Benedick ain May, 1869, when every- thing lovked rosy and bright. He now claims that bis fair bride deceived him at the very threshold of their marital career. He charges that she induced bim to believe that she widow, In the sobriquet of Widow Fogh.”” It now appears, according to his statement, that the man from whem atthe time their nuptials was celebrated; was even blisstully ignorant of the childish aud innocent pranks of bis better half, and permitted Mr, Wedmeyer to marry bis wife without lifting his finger. Mr. Wed- meyer says it is true that Fogh is not now a resident of this terrestrial sphere, and (hat he is tuformed that the demise of the gentleman took place some ume in 1875, but thinks his wife ouzht to be punished for this Vile deception practised upou his credulity, and that he should bo relieved from Mrs, Fogh-Wedmeyer as speedily as the law will allow, With tis end in view he has brought a suit in the Superior Court for absolute divorce on ihe ground that tuc marriage was void ab initio, Emilie, the alleged deceptive wife, quondam widow Fogh, says that this ts all non- | sense; that tor husband knew ull about her marriage with Fogh when he married hy nd that he only wants to get rid of her. Judge Sedgwick yesterday gave on order of reference in the cas Next on the list is a divorce suit in which the Domenciatare of the partics is somewhat remarkable, Tho name of the plauintit!’ is Mary Emily Stackenholz and the defendant Cari Frederick Wilhelm Arnold Btuckenbolz. According to her statement they wero married on July 16, 1809, and have one child hing, the fruit of’ such’ union, the charge on | which she brings hur suit is that of avultery, and wha adds heinousness to the charge, if true, is designating tbe sister-in-law of her husband as’ the particeps criminis, Meuntime ber husvand, as she alleges, has betaken himself to “iresh fields and pastures new,” and all ber endeavors to tind bim have proved unavail- | Ing. Upon an application made on her behall yester- day Judge Davis granted an order to serve the sun- mons by pubiication. In tho divorce suit of William F, Morgan against Caroline L. Morgan, a motion was made yesterday be- fore Judge Robinson, 1 the Court of Common Pie: to open the decree of divorce granted in June last, on the ground that the pianiill was himseif guity of adaltery. The Court took the papers. ‘The referce’s report granting a decree of divorce in $he suit brought by Elia Steinhardt against her hus- band, Michael Stembardt, ov the ground of adultery, ‘was yesterday filed in the Court of Common Pleas. Laura K. Ryan appears to be unsuccessful in re- covering alimony from Pe J. Ryan, ber husvand, Bgainst whom she has a divorce suit pending. A mo- tion was made to punish bim for contempt of court in not paying such alimony, but he showed he had al- ready paid out all the movey ho had to lawyers, and that copsequently it was an impossibility any more. Judge Davis yesterday denied this motion, so that although Ryan Inay be held in contempt by’ his | wile he is not held in contempt by the Court. Mary Avi Devoe huving sued tor divorce from her husbana, Isaac L, Devoe, application was made yes- teraay to Judge Davis on her behalf for the custody of her threo children and for alimony. The Court wok the papers. A LITTERATEUR'S WILL.

Browne, alias Osborne, was arraigned at the bar charged with receiving stolen goods, 1t ap- peared that on tho 8th of December last Norton F. Plant, of No. 684 Fifth avenue, being somewhat under the influence of liquor, accompanied a woman named Nellie Usvorne, to a liquor storo at the corner of Mercer and Princo strosts, Plant was relieved of his gold watch, locket and scaripiu by the barkcoper, Edwara McLeary, alded by the prisoner, the husband of the woman mentioned. The loss was reported by Mr. Plant at the Fifteentn precinct station house, and the prisoner was arrested by Detective Sievin, AicLeary meanwhile having fled. The prisoner was put on trial yesierday by Assistant District Attorney Bell. Woman Nellie Osborne was examinod at length, proved that the robbery had been committed by the prisoner and McLeary. He was found gutity and sei tenced to four yeats and six months in the Stato Prison, NOT GUILTY OF MAYHEM. William Howard took the witness stand, minus a thumb. His business was to explain how he lost such thumb andto prove that James Perry was guilty of mayhem on account of its loss. He claimed that he was on the corner of Spring aud Washington streets when Perry, without any provocation, assaulted him ag he was quietly standing there, during the progress of which he got his thumb into his mouth and bit upon it with such savage severity that it had to be ampu- tated. He stated further that he called out for assist- ance, which resulted in the pursuit of Perry, who, immediately atter the assault, fled and his capture, The complainant was vigorously cross-ex- amined by Mr. John QO, Mott, tho prisouer’s counsel, which resulted in developing the true inwardness of the case and putting an entirely diferent construction on the affair. It was shown that Howard was io a hallway adjoining with a woman, that Perry was ina drinking saloon near by, when, hearing his namo called, he-went into the hallway, where tne difficulty occurred. The defendant testified that immediately upon going vo the hallway Howard attacked him and undertook to bite off his nose, and at tue same time thrust his thumb into Perry’s mouth, when he tried to gouge out his check with his thumb nail, to prevont which Howard shut down his molars on the iutruaing thumb, and thus that thamb afterward ceased to be an integral part of Howard’s anatomy. An excellent charactor was shown for the prisouer, Mr, Mott, in summing up, cited a decision of the Court of Appeal: showing that there could be no mayhom without lying 10 wait, and that, therefore, the charge in the indictment was not sustained. Tho Judge so charged, and the jury acquitted the prisoner without leaving their seats, THE KNIVE AGAIN. James Nugent, of No. 10 Market strect, stabbed Hugh Lenuon, of No, 239 East Twenty-cighth streot, in the abdomen on tho 1st of January, 1876.

Price, who defended the pris+ oner, the complainant said he did not think the pris- ouer intended to rob him, and it having been shown that Mr, Olsen requested him to knot a tie, and that he then shouted for tue police, the jury returned a ver- dict of not guilty, GENERAL SESSIONS—PART 2, Betore Judge Sutheriand, “SLL FoR HER.” A sour-visaged young man named Matthew Hamill, | aged twenty years, was arraigned at the bar by As- sistant District Attorney Rollins, charged ander the following peculiar and romance ciroumstunces:—It appeared that about two yeurs ago the prisoner was in the habit of loitering in the vicinity of Mott street, where at No, 308 resided Elizabeth Clabby, a girl of fourteen summers, Matthew was cons:ant im his at- tentione, bat his «uit was mot successiul, Ascertain- ing that Elizabouh was about to inform her parents that ho hid made improper proposals to ber, be be- | came enraged, and on the 16th of March, 1875, rushed into ber room, fired a pistol at ber, the ball fortunately missing the mark and lodging the wall, Finaing that he had not accomplished his parpose be threw tne istul at her and fled, Hearing that the police wero Jooking for bim Matthew wisely betook bhimsell to Hart's Isiand, where he remained ten days, and (hen Hku a true hero went to sca, But abseuce had only made the heart grow fonder, for we tind Mr. Hamill once — ngain the — vietuity | of Mote street, after defying the storms for two years, About two weeks ago he confronted Miss Clabby, who was going ou an errand, and informed her that he wenld give her only ten minutes by the clock to make up ber inind on tho matrimonial question; that if she tocn retased lim he would first kill her and then, hke Othello, dispose of himself, Terrified beyond measure the poor gitt rashed for aid toward a police officer, w Hared Matthew and took bim to the station hoa He was placed on wal yesterday, Assistant District Attorney Rollins prosecuting. isa Clabby told her story of persecution with teara in hor eyos, and evidently won the sympathy ol all in court gave rhaps the prisoner bimself, He denied having fired ‘he pistol, but admitted having thrown it atthe com- Plainant, and made other confessions not calculated to create an impression in his favor, He was convicted of assault with intent to do bodily harm, and Judge Sutherland sent him to the State Prison for the term of four years, BLACK AND WHITE.

Cuxton Paisox, New York,.Feb. 19, 1877. To Tne Eviron oy tux HeRatp:— Wil! you pérmst me 10 say a word in defence of the Officers of this prison, myself included, agaiast the charge whioh has recently been made through your columns of inbuman treatment in the case of the late Michael! Ciancey? The charge !s a vory serious one. It 18 not that of mere rough usage on the part of some not over polite keeper, but at is that of unfeeling, cruel and most criminal conduct, in which every offt- cer is either directly or indirectly implicated, Tho reasons given for the charge cannot be alleged for any- thing less than this—they mean this or nothing. Now, it would not be worth while to take up valuable space 4n your paper for a defence before such of your read- ers as are in the habit of carefully analyzing what they read, because the very gravity of the charge contains its refutation, “But there is a very large class’ of readers who are deeply interested in prison matters because they have sons or brothers or husbands in bondage, These, from tne very intensity of their feel- ings, will catch atand devour eagerly every item of interest connected with the prisons, without stopping to reflect, In bebatt of theso and to sct matters right with them I ask space for this communication, Their load is heavy enough now without adding to their griet by groundless stories of cruclty and injustice, The inhumanity and criminal conduct charged against us involve the following absurdities :— First—That it is possible tor a Board of Inspectors, elected by ‘tho people, to appoint an entire corps of officers, of whom nota single one had the reputation for even common decency to maintain; a set of keepers who could see a.man kicked to death without interfer- enco; a warden Who could wink at such an act; a physi- cian Who cod certily to a he to cover it up; a chap- lain who could counive at all this outrage and mock- ingly go through the process of condoling with the bereaved friends, &e. Second—That this possibility has been realized in fact. Tlard—Vhat such a corps of heartless brutes could bold oftice for a year, with eagle eyes coutinually upon them, and without baving their brutishness exposed, Fourth—That they could pass without public con- gure through the minute, searching and painstaking investigation which was held last summer by the Prison Commission, Of cou if the above propositions could be bo- Heved, then it would be easy to believe that the stu- pidity of such a corps of oflicers might outrun their cruelty, and that they would send word to the friends of one whom they had beaten to death, to know their pleasure in regard to the remains, when the Stato pro- vides a cemetery for the interment of deceased pris- ouers and does not provide for their removal beyond the prison limits; that after sending the bruised body of their victim home they would give as the cause of death ‘*pneumonia,” instead of the obvious and plaus- ible protenco ot “accident in the mines.” 1 (rust that the inherent absurdity of tho charge is suiliciently apparent, Permit me to state a few facts touching the history of she case in hand:— Michael Clancey came to this prison ina draft from Sing Stug in August iast. Soon alter his arrival I ve- caine personally acquainted with bim and learned that his wife was making @ strenuous effort to securo a new trial. My acquaiptance with him through his cor- respondence, us Well as by personal intercourse, ripened into w sincere respect. icould not regard him as a crimival; he seemed altogether = above such an imputation, In watching the progress of the effuris in his bebalf 1 became intensely anxicus that he should succced in clearing bimself of that stain. AB to hig relations with the other olficers, he had notoing to do with any except his own keeper, the hall keeper, tha principal keeper, the physician avd the waruen. . 1 think L am saying what 1s literally true when | say that from not one of these ba:l he ever received cven a cross word, The fuctigho not only kept clear of all punishments, but, more than this, he did not belong to that class of men who render them- selves liable to discipline. But just as his hopes and mino 1n regard to a new trial were on the eve of being realized be was taken sick with pneumonia aud went tothe hospital, 1 consulted him about the propriety of writing to his wile, aud no suid ‘No,’ decidedly, He hoped to “be around again soon,” and then he would himself write. Olherwiso his wife would be frightened and would provably feel constrained to tuke the journey to seo him at an immense sacrifice to horseli and ber jamily—a very naiural view of the matter. After a lew days hope of recovery began to give way. Thon he became delirious, and 1 mado up my mind he-must die, And 1 am not ashamed to say that Leuflered profound distress as [ pictured to my- self the scene at home when the sad news should arrive, In the meantime all was done that could bo done inthe way of medical skill and nursing. Tho steward of the hospital and others of the inmates, strangers though they were, took their turns in watch- ing with Lim mghtand day, All honor to them for it, Alter his death word was sont to New York and tho wishes of the friends inquired for. And here 1 must gay that, knowing that tu be deprived of the privilege of looking upon her -husband’s face once more would bo @ harrowing disappointment to tho widow, and that being 4 devout Romau Catholic, as her husband had aiso been, she would hardly be reconciled to the burial of the remuins tn the prison cemetery, I felt nervously apxious lest we should fail in getting the car of the friends; for this was the third message that had been sent by the physician und no reply received, Mrs Clauvcey’s address having been recently changed. However, in the course of the sec- ond day aiter the death we received a message asking that the remains be sent to New York. The warden sont one of kis most reliable oflicers with the body to Platisburg, and, as the prigon physician had been called away und bad not returned in time, secured from aphysician m that village, on evidence fur- nished, the necessary certificate to indemnity the ex- press company ; and so the remams reached New York about three and a half days alter death, In due time 1 received a_ letter written by some friond in Mrs, Clancey’s name, ask- ing for an explanation of certain marks upon tho face, &c Uf course, it came within the rovinee of the physician to auswer such inquiries, so ? passed the letter immediately to him and genta postal card by return mail acknowledging the receipt of the letter of mquiry, and mforming Mrs. Clancey that she would hear trom the physiciau. This officer wrote at once, explaining the whole matter, to the effect, viz. :—That the bruises on the faco were tho re- sult imply of ap accidental falling upon the iron framo of the cot while the patient was in a delirious condi- tion; that the fractured rivs were the rosult of a post moriem examination; that tbe marks on the back were a part of the phenomena of dissolution, ‘Now, I would lke to ask a question or two, Did my acknowledgment of the receipt of Mrs. Clan- cey’s leticr of inquiry by one mail and the phy- sician’s answer by another mail both fatl to reach their destination If so, why was not the cffort to obtain information renewed on the charitable supposi- tion that the first letter might have miscarried? If they were received why were they wholly ignored and the impression given out that no explanation had been made by either physician or chaplain’ If the expla. nation was hot satisiactury, Why Were wo Bol advised to that elect? Why was hot Mr, Anderson, one of tho inspectors and a resident of Brooklyn, called upon to look into the matter? Why were not these things done betore rushing into print? Ihave omitted many fucts tor the sake of making this communication a8 short as possiblg, and many facts of a more private nature that would show au im- measurable distance from tunumanity tn the treatment of Michael Clancey, Respecttully yours, ‘HE CHAPLAIN OF CLINTON PRISON.
