' THE COURTS. A Divorce Suit Revived After Having Slept for Five Years. FORMULATING THE CODE. Converting a Man's Castle Into a Dispensary of Justice. PAYMENT OF THEATRICAL LICENSES, In Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Law- Yence, yesterday, a motion was made by Mr. Jobn Flanders, counso! for Jonnie E, Erkenbrack, to dismiss an action commenced five years ago by her husband, George A. Erkenbrack, for divorce. Mr. Flande Btated that dirs, Erkenbrack, 1p 1869, obtained from the Court of Common Pleas a decreo ot separation trom her husband for crucl aud inhuman treatment, with the custody of thetr three sons, then seven, fi and three years old; that in Marcb, 187%, the husband Anstituted this action tor an absolute divorce from bis wife, charging ber on information und behef with Adultery with pumerous members of Congress, Btate officers and other men, professional and In private life. ‘The plain! then applied Im this action on affldaviis for the custody vt his children, which application was denied by Judge Brady. ‘The issues in the action were reached in the talevdar lor trial three years xgo this month, when the plaiutiff, not being prepared for trial, the case was reserved. Since that time the defendant's attorney has served repoated notices on the plaintifl’s attorney, demanding a triai of the action, The plainuff having ever brought the caso on for trial the defendant makes tbis motion to throw the case out of Court for neglect to try it, The defendant's attorney insisted that the plaintifl’s charges were so outrageous and extravagant that the defendant was entitled to have a vindication of the charges, or of her own character, and to be relieved trom longer sustaining these old charges. Mr, Charles Sponcer ap- peared for the plaintiff, and stated that the plamtiff do- aired not to have the cause tried, inasmuch as the de- fevdant was a lady weil known under a literary name and was mumtaining an excellent character and was supporting hersel! and her childrenand winning a rep- ulation with the public, and requested that the cause Might be sent toa referee for trial, Mr, Flanders re- "fused to consent to a reference and insisted on the de- fendant’s right to a tral by jury in open court. Judge Lawrence took the papers and reservod his decision. A QUESTION OF PRACTICE, Judge Larremore yesterday rendered an important decis.on in the case of Michael W. Devine, administra. tor, &c., against William Butler Duncan, administra tor, &c. Charles R. Carroll sued the firm of William Gibeon & Co. to recover upon a joint liability for the purchase and sale of cottov. Carroll had purchased and paid $50,000 for an interest and was to share in the profits and losses of the transaction, Carroll Drought suit for an accounting and for judgment for the amount found due him. Tho defendants an- swered, admitting plaintiffs interest and their readi- Bess to account, and pleading non-joinder of par. ties, Mr. Koelofson, one of the defepdant’s firm, died, leaving will, appointing Thomas C. YT, Buckley his executor, who also died, and ar, ican, one ol the present defendants, was duly appointed administrator with the will annexed, Carroil also died 1n 1874, and Devine, the present plain- tiff, was appointed his adininistrator. A supplemental complaint in revivor was served against Duncan, und twenty days afterward another supplemental com- plaint was served changing the cause of uction by leav- jog out Wilson on the ground that he was insolvent and had since died, and alleging Gibson’s insolvency and praying judgment aguinst the latter and Duucan, This complutnt was not accepted. Judge Larremore holds that an amended complaint being @ pleading can be amended once without »pplication to the Court, Tho principal point in dispute, he said, is a4 to the joinder of the representatives of a deceased defendant with a surviving defendant in an action on a joint liability. On this point Judge Larre- more says {this wero an action at law on a joint Nability Duncan would not be a proper party, ana the estate in bis hands could only be reached by a suit in equity aftor all legal remedies against the surviving partner had been cxtiausted, * * * But this action 4s on the equity side of the Court, and among the aver- ments, by way of supplement, is that of the insol- vency of Gibson, the surviving partner. This is not ab- solutely denied by the opposing affidavit, the denial being as to the insolvency of the frm of which he was & member. * * * Tho facts alleged, if proved, would sustain a new action against Duncan, and the Nberal policy of the code in causing parties to be Drought in, in order to prevent circuity of action, Jeaas to the conclusion that this application should bo ranted. The defendant may interpose the same de- fences in this as in such other action except the Statute of limitations, and whero the merits pres sumptively appear and’ the plainuff would otherwise be remediiess 1 is the duty of the Court to exercise @ sound discretion and save the statute.” COURT IN A BEDROOM. For some years preceding January, 1876, and up to that time Juhus Becks and Frederick Haubner were partners in business. They had acquaintances in New Jersey eugaged in the brewing business, to whom Haubner loaned frum time to time over $15,000, They came to him for another loan, but he refused, saying he had not the money to spare. At this time Haubnor had on deposit in tho Chemical Bank bonds belonging to his partner of the value of over $7,000, and of these the Jerseymen asked to be loaned a portion, and were loaned $5,000 of the amount. When the partnership betweco Becks and Haubrer was dissolved the former demanded that the latter account to him for the $5,000 in bonds loaned to their Jersey friends, This Haubuer refused, saying they were loaned by Becks’ consent and at 5 Hy personal risk, and that Haubner bad quite enough of loans to the same parties to be responsible for, After the dissolution Becks brought suit in the Supreme Court against bis old partner to recover the value of the bonds thus loaned, claiming that they wore in Hawbner’s custody and were loaned by him without his permission er authority, For about three years past Huubner, tho defendant, has been conilued Jo hus house by iliness and unable to atiend a trial iu court, but at the same time was anxious for ajury trial,’ To transfer the court and jury to Haubuer’s house was, of course, out of the question, The dif culty bas, however, been surmounted by the appoint- ment of reterces in the case. Under the law re- referees, as it has long existed although not geuerally followed, the Cor discretion, appoint three referees in case as wellas one. This, the parties thought, would give them all the advantages ofa jary trial, and on up gesice to Juage Barrett he appointed Messrs, Geor; McAdam, James E. Carpenter and Jamos Steers referces, ‘These genticmen are all members of the | Bar, and, constituting themselves judge and jury, have | formally orgavized a court in Haubner’s bedroom thus bringing justice as near home to himas could well be. There has been one session of tho court and others are to follow as Haubner’s bealth and other cir- Gamstances may pormit. COPARTNEKSHIP TROUBLES. ‘Tho trial of a rather complex copartnerghip sult was commenced yesterday beiore Judge Van Brunt in the Supremo Court, Special Term. The plaintiff, John D, Locke, states jn his complaint that on the lst of January, 1873, he entered into a partnership with tbe defendants, Samuel R. Filley and Jobn J, Loeko, such ip to be continued for five years. He states further that he had been engaged in the tinware business previous to this time and had built wp & largo trade; that at tho time of forming the copartnership he ‘owned a factory at Whitestone, L. 1., a lease of No. 44 Chit Street, in this city, aud goods, pictures and machinery, | the total assets umounting to $263,000; that he gavo the defendants euch an undivided one-third interest, faxing their notes for five years, and that they mis- Menaged the business by purchasing exponsive ma- cbinery and goods not required. It was finally ar- to leave the adjustment of their differences to ‘an arbitrator, who reported that Jobn D. Locke should five to the other parcion $164,757 44, or that they sbovid give to him $117,008 60, Mr. Jobn D. Locke was dissatisied with this result and has suit to have it net aside. He also asks for a dissolution of tho partnership, an accounting by tho two partners, the appointment of a receiver and an bid the latter from interfering with janction restr: ie business. ‘Tho defendants charge all the business troabies hoe the plaintiff, and after denying the egat: prinaipal fons in the complaint, ask for its dis- ane 4 $60,000 damages.

The caso was recently tried fm the Marine Court, before Chief Justice Shea and a gory, anda verdict rendered for plaintifis. But on the : ‘peing polled by Mr. RB. 8, Noweombo, tho detend- three of thom stated that was not their "% rt ooo MoAdain and a selected and the trial go op counsel objected, Delenaunt’ submit the case to the Jud, the testimony which bad been taken. ‘To this plaintiff's counsel finally as- sented, and Judge McAdam took the case under con- sideration in the full confidence of all parties con- cerned that he is more likely to come to an agreement with bimself than any jury which could be selected, THEATRICAL LICENSES, 1874, the proprietors of the several leading ud other places of amusement in this city, 4s will be retnembered, united jn a test suit, such suit being by Mr, James Lester Wallack to resist the pay- ment of license fees to the Society for the Reformation of Juveniie Delinquents, During the intervening time this suit has dragged its slow length along through the courts, appeal following appeal, until ils final adjudica- tion by the court of Ini that the en- forcement of the payment of such license feos was properly vested in the society named, As the society has, meant pleation in Court Chambers for an adjustment of the damages ré sulting from such nonpayment, Judge Lawrence y terday appointed Mr. Wiilam F.

Pangborn and others, proprictors of the Evening Jour- nal, of Jersey City, for libel, which has occupivd the | attention of the Supreme Court, Kings county, betore | Judge Gilbert, for the past three days, was concluded yesterday. About three years ago tho plaintiff was a partner In the Lehigh and Wyoming Valley Conl Com- pany. At the instance of a Mr, Francis, in 1873, piain- tuff and his partners were arrested on a charge of selling at underwoight, The case was dismissed, but was written up fally in defendant’s journal, and the com- plainant alleged it was written in a feiso aud malicious manner, He claimed that the objectionable articles had caused him great injury, and demanded damages in the sum of $50,000. ‘The Jury, after a brief detiber. ation, returned a verdict of $4,000 for plaintif., A DANGEROUS CORNER, Martha M. Halliday, of Hempstead, L.

Mrs. Hahday was injured ‘internally, and claims to have suffered much bodily pain and distress in consequence of the nvgligence of the defendants’ servants, The defence wns a denial, The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $250.

Owing to the immense mass of testimony taken in tho silk cases before General Ketchum, which will oc- cupy the stenographer several days to write out, the evidence had not reached the Collector yesterday, and it may be several days yct before the same will come into his pos: nm. However, the result will not be otherwise than stated before in the Heraup. The valuation of the goods has been advanced but a mere trifle, aud scarcely one-half tho amount it would require to incur a penalty, The silks in disputo bave been entered regularly at the Castom House, and have by this time doubtless been disposed of. Everybody concerned in this inattor feels relieved of a great weight—even those who have been tnstra- mental in plactug an embargo on tho silks aud thereby causing a loss of thousands of dollars to the importers, THE SPITZ IN NEWARK. In Newark the war against the Spitz dog bas broken e@ut in consequence of one of tho breed having on ‘Tuesday, in Murray street, bitten a young man named Charles E. Phelan. 1t appears the dog attempted to bite a young girl near Su Luke’s Church, and Phelan gallanuiy sprang forward to her rescue, seized the dog by the neck and pulled itaway. The vonomous bi turned upon Mr. Phelan and bit bis hand sever The wound was at once cauterized, Though the friends of the young man are approbensive of serious results it 18 pot thought that any will accrue, owing to the Prompt canterization, Tho dog was shot, THAT HALF-BREED SPITZ. Doputy Coroner Millor yestorday mado an investiga- tion of tho circumstances attending the death of Eliza- beth Klages, of St Nicholus avenuo, near 134th street, Sho was said to have beco bitten by a half-breed Spits dog, und, it was thought, died of hydrophobia. Dra. Bronson and Jackson, who attonded her, related to Dr. Miller that the child some days ago gave the dog a piece of oread. Preseptly her fatner heard its out cries, and, raoning out to whero the aoimal was chained, found it with its teeth buried in the little one’s cheek and shaking it eavagely. Tho youngster was rescued and the brute shot. Dr, Bronson was called in and canter. ized the wound, which healed fairly, and Elizabeth was considered to be out of danger. Soon, however, she began to develop signs of terror at the sight of a cat or dog and would leap upon the chairs or table to avoid them. Sho becamo moro nervous as days went by, untilshe showed unmistakable symptoms of fear of slight spasms when aby liquid was offered to her. These, however, were ullayed always 4 the parents without much difficulty, At Jength the little one died in convulsions, but, as Dr. Miller 1s informed, without any positive symptome of hydropbobia, Al inquest will be heid on tne bedy. ‘ANCIENT HYDROPHOBIA, {Maysville (Ky.) correspondence of the Loutsville Courier-Journal, March 20.) Besides the archiwoloxists, geologists, bug gatherers, &o, I have alluded to, thore aro also In this city some bibliomaniacs, One of the latter cinss callod my at- tention to a paragraph in an old book in bis collection that in these days of Spitz dogs may not be uninterest- ing. The book bears upon the title placo the dato 1652, ‘with a notico that it was publisned in London, “and are to be sold by Hen. Crips & Lode Lloyd, at their shop in Popes-head alley.” This paragraph shows what was thought of 1! fects of the bite of a mud dog over two hundred years ago:— “Hydrophobia is a kind of madness, well known in every village, which comes by the biting of a mad di or scratching, saith Aurelianus; touching ur smelling alone somettines, as Sckenkius proves, and 18 incident to many other creatures as well as men. So called, bo- canso the parties affected cannot enduro the sight of water or any liquor, supposing still they seo a mad dog ini, And which ts more wondertul, though they be very dry, asin this malady they are, they will ratuer die than drink, Cwlius Aurclianus, an ancient writer, makes a doubt whother this hydrophovia b 100 of tho body or the mind. The part affected is the brain; the cause, poison that comes from the mad dog, ‘which 1 0 hot and dry that it consumes all the moisture on tho body. Hil- desheim relates of some that died so mad, and, being cut up, had no water, scarce blood or any morsture lett in them, To such as are so aflected the fear of water begins at fourteen days after they arc bitten; to some, again, not till forty or sixty days after.’ Commonly, said Heurnius, they begin to rave, fly water and glasses, to look red aud swell in the face, about twenty days after, if some remedy be not taken in the meantime; to lie awake, to be pensive, \d, to see strange visions, to bark und howl, to fall into a swoon and oltentimes ite of the falling sickness Some say little things like whelpa will ve seen in their urine, If any of these signs appear they are past re- covery. Many times these sympto will not appear ull six or seven months after, saith Guianerias; twelve as Albertus, ix or eight months alter, as Galen holds. Baldus, the great lawyer, died of it; an Augustine friar and a woman in Dolft, that were Forrestus’ patients, wore miserably consumed with it, The common cure in the country, for such at least as dwell near tho seaside, is to duck them over head and ears in sea water, Some medicine. most approved yg fee re ‘They that read of them may consult wit! joscarides, lib. 6, ¢. 37; Huernius, Tiedesheim, Capivaccius, Forrostus, Sekenkius, and, before all others, Codonchus, an italian, who hath ., bolk Wither kWo.excolicnt books on ihe aubisct.”” MARCH 22, 1877—TRIPLE SHEET. . THE DOCTOR'S DIVORCK SUIT. WAS MRS, FERCHLAND'S CONDUCT TOWARD THE BTABLE VOY A HARMLESS FLIRTATION? —THE CASE SUMMED UP AND GIVEN TO THY: JURY— THE YEBDICT TO BE OPENED TO-DAY. ‘When the doors leading to Part I. of the Brooklyn City Court were opencd shortly before ten o'clock, yesterday forenoon, there was a great crowd of men Waiting in the corridors of the main floor and gallery to obtain admission, and every part of the hall of justice was speedily oceupied, Tho attraction was the trial of the action brought be- fore Judge Neilson by Dr, Charles Ferch- Jand against his wife, Christine Ferchiand, for absolute divorce on the ground of adultery, the par- tculars of which case were roported in the AuRALD of yesterday. The plaintiff? occupied a seat by the side of his counsel, ox-Judge Morris, looking the very incar- nation of health and self-complacency. He was dressed in an elegant suit of black cloth and toyed carclessly with his watch chain, studiously avoiding the reproachiu) glances of the tair defendant which were, from time to time, turned toward bim as the counsel on either side made telling points of argument, Mrs. Ferchland, who looked hag- gard and frequently (wept, was attired in @ robo of silver hued Japanese silk, trimmed with blue velvet; black cloth cloak, and a fashionable velvet bonnet of dark brown shade, trim- med with autamn leaves, About ber neck she wore a white lace kercbiel. Goorge Palmer. tho alleged paramour of defendant, though frequently sought for by the gaze of the mor- bidiy carious among the spectators, was absent from court, Tho other witnesses were present in full force, howover. The only witness examinod yesterday was Mary Powers, a former domestic in the employ of the Ferch- lands, who testified that she had never witnessed any act of impropriety on the part of the defendant during her residence in the household, THE DEPRNCE. Colonel Myenborg in summing up tho case for the de- fendant, which task occupied one hour, contended that the p'aintiff bad failed to prove the charges contained in the complaint, ‘There was nothing in the evidence of their chief witness, Kate Davis, to show that the rime charged hud any existence except in the pryin and spying imagination of that wholly unreliable ad uncorroborated domestic, Her testimony as to what she saw while peeping through a keyhole was not suf- ficient grounawork for # just and intelligent jury to 1ve a Verdict against an honest wile und mother. t would not do to permit the plaiatiff to return to the home which he bad broken up, and with the stamp of approval of his acts by the Jury, exelaim to his domestic, Well, Katie, you can now ‘congratu- late me, for Lam airee man! Como, let us have a bottle of wine to celebrate my victory.”’ Oh, n0! The counsel felt assured that her virtue and honesty would be respected by their verdict, aud her false husband should not rejoice over her down- fall, ‘They did not desire a reconciliation, Far trom it, ‘This woman could never again dwell with her husband; but the defendant was entitied to an acquittal of such a buse aud terrible accusation, and the plaintif! should not be per- mitted to #0 forth dissolved from the bonds of matri- mony to seek now victims, There was nothing in the acts of George Palmer to Jncriminate the defendant, Throwing kisses, while it mignt be indiscreet, was not adultery. lf it was, then the crime, he doubted not, might be charged against every porson present, for was it not common to wave a kiss to lady triends? ‘THK PROSKCUTION. Ex-Judge Morris made « powerful speech donuncia- tory of the defendant. He reviewed the testimony of Paimor at great length, and argued thut his admissions as to what he had said and done were sufficient to wa Tant a verdict for the plaintiff. He dwelt upon the caution with which the alleged paramour answered the questions bo to him, and said that even the moral sense of the community would sustain a man in the denial ot the commission of the act, But his admis- sions as to certuin details were tobe taken into con- sideration by the jury, and it would then be seen that the chain of circumstantial evidence against the woman was tuo strong to be broken by the defence, When the stable boy was tiving at Mr. Hinman’s, across the street from where the NDoctor lived, he Ire- quently came over and took his meals with the defend- ant, She was repeatedly seen seated at the basement ind parlor windows while George was throwing kisses to her. Would the jury say this was but an idle flirta- tion? No, certainly not; it was the evidence of loose- ness, of impurity of intellect and of mind, and not the act of a true woman. Sending him his luoch every day and making signs of attachment, counsel submitted, was not the act of a virtuous woman, ‘The witness Kate Davis bad carried a note from Palmer to his mistress, and had handed him one in reply, when he came there that evening for supper, Dofendant’s counsel had said no signiticance was to be attached to the presents of powder, toothbrush and perfumery which bad been made by George to his mistress, Ho would ask the jury, woulda virtuous woman receive presents from her stable boy? Would sho tell bim that a fortune teller had told her that her husband would die within twelve months, and that her second husband might be worse than her first, and then allow the servant to swor her, ‘1 aint that kind!”’ That, surety, is not ‘8 standard of female virtue. When Katie, the servant, sald to George, On one occasion, “lf you don’t eat you'll die,” he replied, “Never mind, Katio, 1 am in love with the Doctor's wife.’? Alter reviewing the testimony at great length Mr, Morris concluded by warning the jury of the importance of their verdict, as putting an estimate upon virtue. JUDGE NRILSON'S CHARGE. ‘ In charging the jury Judge Netison said:—Tho crodi- bility of the witnesses on either side must be duly con- sidered by the jury in their deliberations ‘They were permitted to take cognizance of the manver of the wit. nesses and their appearance while on the stand. law wisely forbids the parties to the action taking witness stand, as it might lead to evil consequences, as og might conspire to rid themselves of each other. ‘ne act, 1f committed, was in secrecy, but the jury might distinguish between a flirtation and the gross and guilty act of adultery. The question for their consideration wero ‘whether the parties to the suit were married.” That question was admitted. Then thero remained the question for the jury to decide, ‘Did the defendant commit adultery with George Pal: mer, at the residence of her husband, No. 252 Sevon- teenth etrect, South Brooklyn, either in the month of June, July, August or September, 1876, or at any time or place ?’” he jury retired to deliberate at ten minutes past one o’clock, Two hours later Judge Neilson directed one of the court officers to sond the jurors their din- ner, which was done, and the counsel and friends of the parties anxiously awaited tho verdict and specu- Jated as to the result, Shortly alter six o’clock Nchaa Neilson left the court room, and caused the jury to be instructed to bring in a sealed verdict, which will bo opened this morning. FIGHTING THE FLAMES. A test of a fire apparatus, which must be of interest to all who patronize the theatres in this city, took place at tho Union Square Theatro yesterday aiternoon. ‘The test was of an apparatus 32 inches in diameter by 6 foot high, and bolding 100 gallons of liqaid, con- structed by tho Protective Fire Apparatus Company, and was made in the presence of Chief Gicquel, of tho Fire Department; Mr, Palmer, one of the proprietors of the theatre, and a number of gentlemen interested im guarding places of public amusement against fire, ‘The apparatus is placed at the back of tho stage, and from it pipes rau under the stage along the line of the dressing rooms, op the stage proper and up to the flies and roof, with hose attached. The firemea presont used the hose leading to the flies, with which they could not only apply a stream to any point in that portion of tho theatro, but also throw two streams {rom the window out on the roof and about 150 feet clear over the roof of Wallack’s Theutre, adjoining. 1t took about fifteen seconds to turn on these two streams, and took them over five minutes to exhaust the apparatus, The fluid used was water, impregnated with curbonic acid gas, which is con- sidered to be the most prompt and effective tire extin- guisher known to science. With an apparatus of this Class itis claimed thata fire happening anywhere In tho theatre will be either extinguished at once, or kept under control until tho Fire Department has time to get its engines in position and at work. Chief Gicqnel and those presont regurded the test with entire satis- faction, and the former added his official opinion that the thoatro had, in the use of this apparatus, fully complied with all the requirements of the Fire De- partment. A, HOBOKEN CANNIBAL, Tkomas Slogan, a candidate for the office of Alder- man of the Fourth ward of Hoboken, bad been placed under bonds to appear for trial, on the charge of at- tempting while intoxicated to bite off the nose of a friend, named Joyn Grogan. The prisoner has been arrested previously for the san:e offence, Recorder Bohnstedt gave bim a light penalty when last ar+ Taigned in court, on the strength of Slogan’s promise that he would reform.
