R. Fellows and Mr. F, F. Brown appeared Jor the plaintiff, and Mr. Josoph H. Choate tor the company. The court room was crowded with stockholders and other interested spec: tutors, Ex-Judge Bosworth im opening te proceed. ings stated What the application was made on the broad ground that by the present management the company hud boon reduced to practical insolvency. He pro- ceeded to read the complaint on which the application | was based and the allldavits of the two accountants, all of whigh bayo already becu published in the Henan. ‘Their substance was that through mismanagement the company owed about $9,000,000 more than it could Hed upon to settlo up its affairs at once, Mr. Choate read a jong and forcible answer denying ations of the plaintiff seriatim, and giving what imed Was @ true statement of the company's affairs. He read an aflidavit signod by the Board of Managers of the company, setting forth that they had read the aflidavit declaring its insolvency, and that the sume was utterly without fouudation, as the eorpora- tion was in a condition to pay all its debts and leave a large surplus to its stockholders. This was followed by an affidavit irom President Dixon stating that he ‘shad every reason to believe and did believe,” that the action hud beon cominenced and prosecuted without poctation on the part of the plainufl to obtain any ¢ the appointment of a receiver, but simply lor the pur- j pose of “bearing”? the stock of the corporation in the market, AN IMPECUNIOUS STOCKHOLDER. He further stated that he had caused inquiry to bo made as to the plainuf, and from the information ob- jained be believed the latter bad no stand whatever as & man of business, By a certificate of the County Clerk it appeared that there were judgments on record ayainst him in the courts of this city for clothing, board and other things, and Mr, Dixon believed that ho bad been employed by other parties to prosecute the action, The County Clerk’s certiticate which was presented showed a seties of the judgments referred to, beginning with one filed in tho Marine Court and” obtained by a well kn grocery lirm for $300; the next was for $320, | obtained in the Superior Court by a tasisonable tatior, a third was obuuned 1m the Court of Common Pleas lor $443, a tourth was for $400, a fiftn for $309 in tho Superior Court, and there were Wo others obtained Dy the proprictors of the Windsor House for bourd bills, ‘These amounted to $187 and $289 respectively. IL was, moreover, declared that Mr. Anderson owned ho siock in the company when he began acuo: st it; but that a week later be becuine possessed of filly shares, His name, it was said, dues not appear upon its books at all, Vresident Dixon's affidavit went on to state that the method pur-ucd by the hired ac- countunt of the plaintif, upon whose aifldavit the ap- plication was bused, Was to count the entir the company—$20,000,600 as one debi, The annual report of the aflairs of the corporation, published the 20ih of last month, was a trne statement, and showed it to he perfectly xulvent. ‘The property possessed by the company in Vennsylvania alone was worth $15,000,000 over and above all encumbran: JEFFERSON HONDS NOT GUARANT The $150,000 of Jeflerson Ruitroad vonds, reierred to In the compiaint as having been taken and guaranteed by the Delaware and Hudson Company, were not uaranteed at all, bat stmply held as sveurity for a joan which the corporation thought of making but did not mske.

In the case of the United States against Francis 0, Boyd and Edgar P. Hill, charged with complicity in the alleged Western Whiskey Ring conspiracy, most of yesterday’s session was consumed in argument whether a wholesale liquor dealer or commission mer- chant is required to enter on his books the sale or delivery of spirits which may be at a railway depot, and of which he had not come into actual pozsession. jeneral Burnett, of counsel for the detence, con- tended that the liquor, to require entry on the books, must bo on the dealer’s premises or in some ware. honse or other place designated by bim, and that the fact of the liquor being at a railway depot, consig toa person, Was not in substantial’ receipt or pos sion of it by him under the act. ‘Argument was made by General Tracy, associate counsel tor the defence, in support of the proposition, | and by Mr. Roger M. Shermun for the prosecution in support of the indictment, Tho latter called attention to the fact that Boyd & Co, had entered some whiskey under the circumstances detailed, while other whiskey’ they had not entered—one being marked ‘*C’? and tho other +B.” ‘The case was adjourned till this morning.

Waliaco, according to the rep- resentation of his counsel. Mr. A. H. H. Dawson, is a “eredulous” but very ambitious young man whose hopes of future wealth were oftentimes frusirated in a most unexpected and aggravating manner, Notwithstand- ing the numerous checks angl reverses of Mr. Wallace's financial carver his courage and porsevering energy of magnitude would flit through the imagimative brain of this ambitious youth, only to meet, however, with the accustomed Uljuck, It is not surprising, therefore, that, reduced by bad speculations aud financial loans, the young man should become desperate und resort to otner aud more hazardous scheines to accomplish the ob- ject of his heart’s “desire, Having for his prospective pinnacle of greatness the posseasion of untold iniilions, he soon fell a victim to “sharpers.”” One day Wallace became acquainted with two apparently respectable and well dressed men, who told him that they kept au establishment where Mr, Wallace inight, i) be chose, make his everlasting for- tune, and the sequence of this unfortucate meeting is aptly described im the following complaint and afl. ils Which Were presentod yesterday on a motion nade by Mr. A.

H. Dawson, who appeared for the plainufl, dir. A. Oukey Hall in nis argument to vacate the order reciwed Very many of te o!d Knoglish statutes relating Lo gambling, compuriug them with our own statutce, and claimed that the action brought by the plainuffl could vot be enti courts, bi canse bis action was pren particeps crimanis, he bad no right to bring an action. Mr. Dawson read the alfidavit of Mr, Wallace, as follows :— WALLACE’S AVFIDAVIT, John A. Wallace, being duly sworn, states that he has a suficient cause of action against the above nanied defendants, Which arose outol the lollowing facts and circumstances, Late in October, 1874, altiant ‘was introduced to defendant Briggs as Churles Stevens and to defendant Moody as Mr. Greenleat; that they represented themselvos as gentiemen of leisure, pos- #oxsed OL uNpic Means and as keeping a club house tor the resort of bankers anu brokers at No. 1,102 Broad- way, New York city; that they also wore the proprie- tors of a gaine against which it was no unusual thing for a banker or broker (o bet aud win $30,000 or $40,000 of an evening. They stated that they leit from $40,000 to $60,000 im the drawer of the table on which the gamo wag played, and always paid whatever was lost on the spot, Alfiunt states that ho never knew one card from another; that he bad never bet w cot in his life on cards, and knew nothing about any games whatever on which moncy is lust and won, He further states that he does inake, 10 speculations in Teal estate, bonds and stocks, frequently vory hazardous ventures, aud often with very protitable resuiis; thut be has very tre- quently Jost golden vpportunities to make brill- jaut transactions tor the want of a few thousand dol- lars, That within the last four years nis real estate transactions haye amounted to many hundreds of thousands of dollars, ‘bat at the time these delend- ants made to ‘him the representations above set forth about the facility with which bankers and brokers would win from $30,000 to $40,000 of an evening irom tuom, te was in need of a tow thousand dollars more than be had to consummate transactio! hich promised to pay brilliant prouts, and that for several days alter these facts were stated to him fie mind was cou- tinually haunted by visions vf the protit he might make if he could command the sum he needed, aud of the probability that be might win such a sum it he ventured, until he concluded to do 80, and did, and thathe lost ou the first venture some $800 or $1,000; that when he fost strangers to him seemed to be betting, too, against the same game and win- Ning; that be felt that it was simply his bad luck, and resolved to try it again, and agaiy lost a sunilar sum, and that he kept on risking and losing, wu he lost, Wytbin tbree months following, at Nov 1,132 Broadway, risking against the same game some $12,500; that Le was always instructed by said Stevens where to put his money down, but that on risking the sum of $12,000 he never won the first dollar, TUS NAMB OF IT. Affant states further that ho has since investigated the matter, and thut he has learned that the trick or device by which he was relieved of his money is known by the naino of faro; that Stevens’ proper name is Briggs, and that Greepleat’s proper name is Moody, and that they enjoy the reputation of proiessional gamblers, who hve by swindling, cheating and de- irauding ignorant men at cards; that it is not truo that they keptaclub house for bahkers and brokers, and tuat on the contrury neither bankers nor brokers nor aby persons whatever of respecigbility visited their house at all; that it ‘as and is simply a den of thieves into which strangers are inveigied to be robbed by the means above desurived; that at the time aMfiant was introduced there he was, as he still is, a resident of tho city of St. Louis, Mo, Aflant further states that Stevens represented himself as only an agent of the Louse, and that the title of the drm was Wood & Granhas, and that the Wood who was at the house was the Hon, Benjamin Wood who is the owner and editor of the New York Evening News, whereas the truth is that Benjamin Wood has not, and never had, aby connection with the hvuse, and that its solo pro- Prictors are the above named defendants, A SLANG DICTIONARY. The reading of this ailidavit was followed by another affidavit, made by Henry A. Crowel, who says that he 48 acquainted with the above namea defendants, and is familiar with (heir bubits of business; that they are protessional gambiers and deal taro for w livelihood; that they use the implements invented tor the express: purpose of cheating and defrauding those who bet against them; tbat the box out of which they deal the cards is 80 constructed that they may take one or two cards just tuey choose; that said cards are so trimmed that an expert shuilier can know the location of each card in the deck to every other card in the aeck when he puts them in the box to deal, and the moment be bas dealt one or two cards, Irom the manner in which said cards are marked, he can tell whether it i# necessary to draw one or two cards in order to make the better aguinst tne game lose, that this box istechnically called among gamblers a “stide,"? ‘skin’? or “brace”? box; that the cards thug (rimmed are called “strippers”? and thatthe type or styic of gamblers who use such boxes and cards depend upon “suckers” lor patronuge—io ether words, men ignorant of gambling; that the house kept by detendants, at No. 1,132 Broadway, ts a notorious “skin gamo," that this game 1s not property described us gambling; that gambiing means trick, and that the deiendants rik and by which the dotendants swindle, cheat and defraud ali persons yreeu and ignorant enough to be caught in their trap, Mr. Dawson said that Charles V. or VI., be didu’s know which, used ty compel bis Ministers to play a fair gamo of taro all day, and 118 stated that tho ©; cilement and intoxication of the gatae prepared bt to take up and dispose of the many allairs of State with a lighter beart and better ming, Why,”? said Mr. Dawson, “Washington and Latayette introduced faro into this country; but, he continued, ean you say that the game now played 1s the same?” Aftor a lengthy argument Judge Larremore took the papers, teserving decision.
