“THE COURTS. Extradition Complications of the Hampton Bank Robbery Case A COSTLY LIBEL. Arrests by Telegraph—Important Tax Decision. SUMMARY OF ne ca te, CASES. Judge John R. Brady, before whom the case of William Conners, the alleged Northampton Bank rob- ber, is being argued, yesterday anvounced Lis inten. tion to make that the pionver caso ia this country in respect to the new questions raised regarding the extradition of criminals between the States, The tase Was called at the opening of the Court yesterday, and Messrs. Clareace Seward, John R. Fetlows ana Henry ©. Allen appeared for the bunk, and Charles W. Brooke and W. F, Kintzing for the prisoner, Mr. Brooke filed a traverse to the return, as previously made dy the Sheriff! to the return uf writ ot habeas corpus, in Which the commission of any crime and the identity of the prisoner as the person named in tho warrant ol the Governor were denied, Mr. Lucien B, Williams, one of tne directors of the Northampton Bank, testivied tbat a robbery had been perpetrated upon the bank, and that in November last be bad sev- eral interviews wiih Conners in New York goliating for tho return of the property, and that be bad made ‘an affidavit before the Justice of the Poaco in Hamp- spire county, charging Couners with bemg an acces- sory alter the lact to the commission of the offence, and that the prisoner was the ove against whom he had made the charges. He was subjected to a rigid cross-examipation, which falied to shake his teati- mony, It was claimed by Mr. Brooke that it was the duty of the counsel for the bank to produce the aflida. vits or certitied copies of the same, denying the right ol any court to review the discretion’ exercised by him, and that no court cau go behind tho warrant issued by him. The valy question to be decided was whether a crime was committed, as alleged, and whether the prisoner who was present was the per- son named in the warrant. Tho day was occupied by Messrs, Brooke and Sew- ard in argument a8 vo wuether or not the Court had | jurisdiction, Mr. Seward claiming tbat the action ot | ‘the Governor was tins! and his opponent holding to the contrary, Judge Brady etated his beliet that the people who represented tue process, whoever they inay be, are not obliged in the first instance to produce any papers to sustain the requisition. Tho relator in & proceeding of that kind, aud in a court of competent jurisdiction, had a right to review the whole of nis conclusions ix respect Lo the affidavit, &e Tho accused tovk the stand aud swore that he had not committed the robbery and that he had never been ip Massachusetts. The case was adjourned unul Mon- day morping next, Governor Robinson refuses to furnish either party in the case with a copy of the aflidavits upon which he granted tho extradition He bases his retusal upon the ground that his office 14 uot a court of record, SHALL THIS B. GO FREE? Jonn Barresciotta, otherwise called Joha Garabaldi, and Annie Smith were convicted of keeping a digor- derly house in the Fifteenth ward before Kecorder Hacketi, at the September term of the Court of General Sessions, and sentenced to the Penitentiary euch for one year, The only evidence introduced upon the trial was that of three young girls, inmates ot the bouse, whose testimony was of a revolting and dis- gusting character. During the trial a number of ex. ceptions were taken to the rulings of the Coart upon questions of evidence and law, upon which counsel lor the accused, Mr, W. F. Kintzing, obiained a writ of error, removing the proceedings on appeal into tho Supreme Court for review. He made application yes- terday to the Justices of the Supreme Court, pree | siding at General Term, for a reversal of judgment aud the discharge of the accused from toer present imprisonment, alleging that the Court of Sions erred in susiaininy a demurrer interposed by ti District Attorney to a plea im abatement tiled by the accused, Joon Barresciotta He was mdicted under ap alias, that of Join Garabaldi, which name be denied ever having gone by or was ever known by, It was contended by counsel thut it is prejudicial to an ac- cused to be indicted under an alias, especially one to which odium 1s attached. 1 was a reflection upon the character of the accused, which, it was well settled, could not be attacked, until put im issue, and should never be hinted at, bad as it may be, by a public prosecutor, It was also ciaimed that the Court erred, it not directing an acquittal at the close of the testimony for the people, the evidence establishing that if the accused were guilty of any offence it was tbat of Keeping a “bawdy nouse,” and not ‘disorderly house,” the lat- ler being a species of common nuisance, abd that be- fore there could be a conviction there suould be evi+ dence that it annoyed the neighbors or tbat it affected the public, There being, as alleged, no such wstimony, the conviction was erroneous, itis claimed. Again, it is claimed that the Court erred in not confining the evi- dence, such a8 it was, to the times alleged in | the indictment, the District Attorney, having | been permitted to wiroduce evidence —_ ol lewd and improper conduct at times — other that it isa role of pleading applicable to indictments that every Uraversable tact must be alleged with ume and place, Other grounds of alleged errors were also presented, istrict Attorney B. K. Phelps contended than alleged in the indictment, Mr. Kintzing claiming | | that the conviction was in all respects correct ana thut one of the grounds submitted uty ore sullicient 10 juse a reversal of the judgment. He submitted a thoriues which he thought would sustain of the Court below. The Court took the on. PON TELEGRAMS. | Counsellor James Oliver yesterday obtained from Judge Lawrence, in Supreme Court, Chambers, a babeas corpus, returtable at three o'clock to-day, to produce betore him A, Blacklock, of San Francisco, at present a prisoner at the Police Central Office in this city. On receipt of a telegram from the Cniet of Police at ‘Frisco Superintendent Walling arrested Blacklock at h's botel bere on Tucsday and teok possession of bis eflects. The despatch stated that the prisoner had ut- tered a forged ¢ for $1,600 just before his depar- ture from the Pacific slope. Mr, Oliver claimed that a man could not be legally arrested and held on & mere | telegraphic message. Mr, Margac, from the District | Attorney’s office, stated that it had frequently been done, and suid oat the priscner, before being taken | into custody, bad admitted bis identity, His Honor | ‘made the Writ returnable us above stated, so that he | might consult his associates on the mal ime. He regarded the arrest and de & cilizen in such a manner, ho sald, as a bighiy dan. gerous proceeding, A COSLLY LIBEL, Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton yesterday obtained a ver- dict for $3,000 damages in a suit for libel against Mr. Amos F. Eno, of N Fifth avenue. It appeared that on the 19th of October, 1874, Dr, Hamilton, in his | capacity of assistant sanitary inspector under the Board of Health, made to the latter body a report | concerning the pavements of the city, speaking in high terms of the Gravamite pavement. On the 11th of February following a communication, signed ‘Ave- nue,” appeared in the columns of the Tribune discus. | sing the pavement question, and in which thereporton | the Grahamie plan made by Dr. Hamilton was ree ferred! to, with an intimation that a considerable | amount of that company’s stock had been “piaced where it would do the most good.’’ After seeking, as | alleged, to have the tmphed libel contradicted in’ the | columns of the same newspaper, the plaintiff! com. Menced action, With the result above ated, IMPORTANT TAX DECISION. A case of considerable importance to the taxpayers of this city has recently been decided in the Court of Appoals.

The suit of Tuomas Hickey against The Mayor, &c., has been on trial for two days betore Judge Westbrook ip Part 3 of the Supreme Court.

The jury, aftera short absence, returned a verdict for the defendant, FS DECISIONS. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBFRS, By Judge Lawrence, Cutler vs, Kohn.—The plaintiff sues in his represen- tative capacity as recciver of Schierfer & Molier, and the defeudant demies all knowledge and imiormation sullicient to form a belie! as to the plaintiN!’s appointment as such receiver. 1t is material to the piainull to prove that he is such receiver, or he hus no standing in court, The answer was quite likely interposed for aelay, but I do not think that it can be said to be frivolous, ‘Tho case would appear to be a propor case for the Special Circuit calendar. Motion denied, without costs, Stockton vs. Finley.—This cage caunot in my opinion be tried in an hour; the motion to plice it on the Special Circuit calendar is therefore denied, without costs, Fitch vs, Van Deveer,—This motion is denied on the ground tbat no reason is stated in the many affidavits why the jadgment should be marked secured on ap- peal except that the usual undertaking has been executed, If the appellant’s counsel is right in his position in every cuse which the undertaking 1s given he making of the judgment as secured would follow a matier of course. Such was not the intention of the Legisiature nor the meaning of the Code. Sco the remarks of Mr. Justice Brady on this subjoct in Orchard vs, Buwjer, 4 Abbt, N.S, 368. Motion denied, Wib costs of motion. Leslie vs. Paoli Belt Co.—Before granting this order, I wish to be further informed as to the provavle value of the personal property which it is proposed to seil There ig no objection to allowing the receiver to ecll the bad debts. Costello vs, Crotty.—As this matter has been loit so long, [ see no reason for granting an order to show cause, besides no reason is stated for such an order, See rule 46, Butler vs. Haight.—The consent is not signed by the | attorney for all the parties to this action, and rule 73. | thereiore prohibits the appointment of the referee asked for. Mauge vs. Purg.—There being no aflidavit in oppo- sition to the motion, and it appearing that the case only became at issue on the amended pleadings, which is the dute of this notice of motion, I am inclined to allow the commission to issue, and also to grant a stay of sixty days on payment ot costs of relerenco to date and costs of motion, it should be mude to appear that there 1s any danger of +4 losing their debt furtber terms wili be im Germania Savings Bauk vs, Weber. shows that notice of motion for a relerence to com- pute the amouns due was served upon Mr. Ray, the defendant’s atiorney, (Sce Rammauoflt, Feb. 6, 7.)

Tho application in all other respects must be denied. The eflect was to prevent not far but unfair competition. A court of equity should not interfere (certamly not anction) with an effort to pat a siop to gross underseling, rendered possibly by not Paying (in substance) ior the commodity. This 18 really what it amounts to, and it would be simply sut- cidal for the defendant to stand idly by and permit such practices to continue. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TELM. By Judge Van Vorst.

William Hickey was arraigned at the bar by Assist- ant District Attorney Bell on an tudictment charging him with robbery, It appeared that on Who night of the 2lst of February, as Peter Anderson, aseaman whose vessel had beou wrecked at Aspinwall, was walking along Washington street he was suddenly attacked by two men, They quickly tied acloth arornd ois head so that he could not raise an alarm, and without ado robbed bim of $80 and ran of. Anderson reported his Joss at the station house, and subsequently Officer McDermott arrested William Hickey and John Mitchell in Wasbington strect. Some of tne street lamps had | been extinguished in the vicinity for the purpose, it | was supposed, to better facititate the robbery. Hickey who was placed on trial, was defended by Mr. Edmund E.

LIFE INSURANCE TROUBLES. UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY TO BE HXAMINED—OLD STORIES BEVIVED—-WHO SHALL BE ENTITLED TO PROCEED AGAINST THE INSURANCE COMPANIES—SUITS IN PROG- BESS. The Insurance Department is about to begin an ex- amination of the Universal Life Insurance Company, ‘against which, together with the North America and Guardian companies, a recent action has been com- menced in Brooklyn, Serious charges and implica- Mons against theso companies are made by the com. plainant tn the action, andthe investigation by the department will bo welcomed by the policy holders, Alter tne Universal it ig likely that the North America and the Guardian will also be examined. The mutual relation and the combined mannge- ment of the companies has long been a mat- ter of perplexity and suspicion, and the proceedings against them are regarded with momentous inte: Tho North America is not claimed to be solvent, its President, Mr. Henry J. Furber, alleging that the solvency or insolvency deponds entirely upon the valu- ation that may be made upon the company’s roal ¢s- tate, The caso is considered to be a very complicated one, and may involve other interests than those now directly concerned in the Istigation. When two years ago the deficiency of over balfa million of dollars in the North America was made good, it was rumored that tho amount was withdrawn ag soon as the department bad passed on the company. President Furber, in a conversation with the writer yesterday, denied such a statement, and said the amount was subscribed in cash by private parties and kept by the North America for a year. He said tho only security given those parties was the knowl. edge of tho recuperative power of tho corporation, which having reached a certain point would insure them the return of their money. In relation to tho mortgages which bave*been transferred in large quan- tities from the North America to the Equitable, Mr. Furber said that they had adopted such mode of travsterinstead of foreclosure, as they reduced the lia- bilities of the company, the assets were correspond- ingly reduced, and it was necessary to dispose of many mortgage securities, In the spring of 1876 moro than $100,000 worth of mortgages were thus transferred to the Equitable. SUITS AGAINST LIFK COMPANIES, ‘The bill introcuced by Senutor Wagstaff at Albapy, giving all suis tor the dissolution of lite insurance companies into the hands of the Attorney General, bas created a great deal of comment in insurance and legal circles in this city, The better class of opinion as conveyed to the writer appears to be in favor of the bill; thougn, as might have been expected, the propo- sition im other quarters provokes great hostility. There are nota few who prelur to do their own litiga- tion against insurance companies, and they aro par- ticularly incensed at an attempted interruption of their sport in its present palmy stage. A petition denounc- ing the bill fe now being prepared, to which policy holders are requested to wtiach their names, Such an invitation to the policy holders of the Continental is certainly considered to be a vory pretty sarcasm. THE CONTINENTAL EXAMINATION, Referee William Allen Butler gave anotber hearing cn Cohtineatal affairs yesterday atternvon, at No, 22 ‘Nassau street, Mr. Seth C, Chandler, actuary of the company, testi- fied that he first learned of the payment of commuted annuities to the officers io the lawer part of 1872; witness made a valuation of the outstanding policies ot tho Empire Mutual Lite Insurance Company, but did not himsell estimate tho assets; the policy labili- tes of thatcompany amounted to about $600,000, being $200,000 in excess of the assets; this estimate was made in the beginning of the year 1572, and by un- other valuation at the close of the year, witness found the deficicncy amounted to $350,000; Justis Lawrence, the President, was ill at the tine and not aware of this deficiency; witness was informed by RK. C. Frost that vT they did not tell Mr. Lawrence; witness said that both R. C. Frost and G, Hilton Scribner kuew ol this. deticiency before the contract for reinsurance was made; ou the policies of the Empire Mutual reinsured jo the Continental there should be a reserve of about $525,000; and on the policies still beld in the Empire the reserve should amount to $65,000, The referee quesuioned wituess with regard to a loan of $96,000 made by the Coutineutal to the New Jersey Mutual Lite Insuravce Company. Witnexs said that we held several conversations upon the sub- ject with Mr, William C, Whitney, attorney jor the company; these conversations arose from the fact that witness did not consider the joan a proper ene; Mr. Whitney told witness that be would sce Mr. Frost and have the mater looked into; it was shown that the loan was secured by $116,000 in bonds and mortgages; wituess also bad an interviow with Mr, Frost relative to this loan and other matters which witness considered detrimental \o the company. THE OFFICKRS TALKING OF REFORM, Witness sald that be convereed with Mr, Frost in Janvary, 1876, about the company generally; witness then cailed his attention to the objectionable character ot the Biuke contract for purchasing poli- cies; he also demand access to the cash book, which he bad never belore had; prior vo Ubis Conversation witness*ook some provisiou tor replacing mortgages ue had given to the company; the conversation with Frost was in consequence of mat- ters communicated to witness by Messra, Thomas and Styles, the bookkeeper and cashier; they told witness about the amount of paper carried as cash and other irregularities; spoke to Mr. Frost about the loose method of keeping the cash account, and Mr. Frost replied that 1t was the custom of the company; Frost also said that the condition of the company could be much improved by cutting down expenses ‘und otner meius; Mr. Frost declared to witness bis willingness and intention to assist such a reform, Witness read a lint of the temporary loans of the company, irom which tt appeared that there were no United States bonds among (he securities; there were, as collateral, over $38,000 in Empire Mutual stock and $18,000 in the stock of the National Bank Walker R. Blake, a purchasing agent of the Conti- nental, testified that bis contract for service netiea him about $4,500 annually ; bis first contract was com- mated, and be afterward took two others from the company; the third contract paid witness about $20,000 per annum; he got fourteen per cent on the | reserve purchased and sixty per cent on new policies issued, Mr. Sanger, a director, and Mr. Thomas, the book- keeper, ailerward gave some unimportant testimony, and the reference adjourned unul two P, M. on Friday, when, it 1s positively stated, the evidence will be con cluded, THE GUARDIAN MUTUAL, Tho euit of William S, Carlisle and Mary A.
