THE COURTS. Marriages a la Brinkley as Basis of Divorce Suits. EXTENT OF LAWYERS’ LIENS. The decision given m the Courts in the famous Brinkley suit gives promise of being made a precedent in other suits brought to test the question of what does and what docs not constitute a legal marriage, A case im point was yesterday called to the attention of Suge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers. A young and finely dressed woman, calling berselt Kitty Yowoll, and also ol prepossessing appearance, made application through Mr. William F. Howe, her coungel, for $50 weekly alimony and $400 counsel fee, in @ suit brought by her against Richard Powell, The plaintif, who signs her name to the com- plaint Kitty Powell, says that they were marned iw April, 1873; that they have two children, and tat ber husband has since abandoned her, The present suit is for separation and mainiouance, and tho de- fendant, who resides at Bellmore, L. L, and formerly ‘was a Jeweller in Maigen lane, denies that he was ever married to the plaintiit, and there was produced in cor- Tovoration of this statement the proceedings 16 the court in New Jersey, \n a suit brought against hum by Such plaintiff tor alleged breach of promise of mar- Fringe and seduction, and also those in a subsequent suit for bastardy. Judge Dononuc took the papers tor examination. Simon Schiff was arrested several days since on a Writ of no oxeat, procured on application of bis wife aud lodged in Ludiow street Jail, ‘Ubrough bis cot sel, Mr. Douglas A. Levien, Jr., he petitioned the Su- prome court for his discharge, Ho alleged in bis peti tion that, beyond what his counsel tuid him, he had Bo knowledge of the cause of his arrest, no papers having been served upon hun. ie says further, that Sophia Sebi, through whom he was arrested, 1s bis second wile; that she is & Woman of violent temper, and that sho is now under bail for disorderly conduct, He also states tha first wile, who are depe: ent upon him for support, Upon this state of facts Judge Donohue yesterday vacated the writ and directed his discharge. William F, Morgan recently got a divorce from his wile, Caroline L. Morgan, on the ground of adultery. Tho Uctondant moved betore Judge Robinson, ip the Court of Common Pieas, for a reargument ‘on ground of newly discovered evidence, ‘The new evi- dence Was based upon an affidavit of Mrs. Ligzio A. Vanuerhoot, of New Jersey, who swears tat Mr. Morgan bad held itheit intercourso with her, Other testi- mony was given going to show that Morgan bad used undue influence to obtain evidence against his wile, and Judge Kobinson yesterday rendered a decision 16- fusing to open the case, Judge Robinson says that the jestimony of a paramour, unsupported by other evi- dence, Would not be conclusive evidence of adultery. He says sbe showed a luck of womanly delicacy in coming loryard and contessing her own shame when Ubere Was Wf occasion for it. AN EQUITABLE SET-OFF, Messrs, Davidson & Jones, Wall street bankers, havo brought suit against Ignacio P, Alforo, in which they seek to recover $580 20, alleged to bave been over- drawn for services in obtaining orders for gold and stock. Meantime Alforo brought suit against Davidson & Jones for damages for alleged non-tulfilment of con- tract, and obtained a verdict against them for $813 53, such verdict including interest and costs, Betore the termination of the first suit Davidson & Jones brought suit against Aiforo and Coudert Bros., his counsel, for an injunction restraining Alforo trom assigning to Coudert Brothers the judgment ob- lained im his fayor, and from tue ‘issue of an execution npon such judgment, und asking that if a verdict 18 obtained in their suit agaist Alforo thay the same ve xet off against the judgment obtuined by the lutter. This last action came to trial betore Judge Barrett, in Supreme Court, Spectal Term. Judge Bar- rett guvo his decision in the cuso yesterday. It should be stated that in making Coudert brothers deten- dunis it was charged that they, knowing Al- foro to be insolvent, obtamed the assign- ment mentioned from him through collusion, which, howeve@ 1s denied, and iu answer to it the allegation | Ket up thatthe Kame Was for valuable consideration, Judge Barrett holds that us assignee of the verdict the Attorneys’ equities is inferior to that of piainutls, but that their equitable len for the costs 18 superior and paramount. He directs a judgment tor the plaintitis, | entitling (uem to an equitable set-olf to the extent ot the verdict, and interestand accruing payment to that Amount, without costs TWO YEARS IN JAIL. | Prison for four years.

A Gedngy, of No, 10 Grove stroet, was selected as the foreman of the Grand Jury, and the Recorder, in deliv- ering his charge, briefly commented upon the fact that there seemod to be no dimunition either in the number or quality of crimes, Under the circumstances it was hikely they would have the usuai amount of business to dispose of, and this, the Recorder suggested, could be greatly expedited, while thoir own valuable time could be saved by a careful scrutiny of the testimony adduced iu tho various cases that might come before them, and im not finding indictmonts unless they were well eatis- fied of the guilt of the parties charged, Moreover, a sound diserinination should be exercised in determin- ing the various grades of guilt, so that the indicements found would be warranted by the evidence adduced, Where legal advice was toand neces: they conid call upon the District Attorney or his assistants, and to this way @ great amount uf business could be transacted in a comparatively short space of time, Tho Recorder, having direeted the attention of tne Grand Jury to tho several violations of as set forth in the statutes, directed them to retire for deliberation, THAT ALLEGED SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR FORGED CHECK.

The following decisions wero renderod in the su- Preme Court to-day :— + No. 154 Bowen vs, Chase ct al.—Appeal from the Circuit Co' 1 the Southern Diatrict of New Y\ ‘This was the suit in equity brought by Nelson Chase and others against ree W. Bi aving for its principal object the establishing of their th iain Jands in New York city known as the Jun:cl property, und to enjoin Bowen from pros. ecuting certain actions of ejoctment, ono of which was to recover tho property: samioe and the others to recover junds in Saratoga ging to the same estate. The Court holds that the conveyances to Kingsland and Martin, for value, by Mme. Jumel, after the voluntary appointment in favor of her adopt daughter, Mrs. Chase, were valid, being made under her original power of appointment; bat that the oiuLnents to Hamilton and Phillipon are inefiective, ‘bo decision is that the appellces aro not entitled to have the real estate of which Mme, Jumel died ed appropriated to them = in satisinction of the suppose judy upouthe rights of Mrs, Chase in the Kingsland and Martin conveyances, nothing appearing to show that such frauds wero in- tended or cousuminatod, but that, in view of tho void conveyances to Hamilton and Phillipon and of the fact that Mime. Jumel romained in undisputed possession of the property up to the time of her death, they wero entirely justified mm coming into a — court of equity to bave them declared void. The decree is reversed as to the effect of the convey- ances to Kingsland and Mart:a, and affirmed as to those to Hamilton and Patilipon, including a perpetual in- Junction against Bowen prouiibvitiug him from prose. ‘cutlng any action or suit for recovery of the particular estate embraced in the appowiment made in favor of Mrs, Chase by the deed of 1828, The claim of the appellees to recover of Bowen the sum of $2,500 alleged to Lave been obtained by bim from one of the Chase grauteos by way of a compromise is held to be utterly groundless, Justice isradley delivered the opinion, No, 905, National Bank of the Commonwealth of New York vs. tue Mechanics’ National Bank of Tren- tor—frror to the Circuit Court for tho southern Dis- trict of New York,--This was an action to recover in- terest upon deposits made by the New Jersey Bank with the Bank of the Commonwealth beture its talure, and which were not paid on demand, The objer 20n was that suit could nob by maintained for tho interest alter the prinerpai had deen The Court hold tbat the elnims when to the satistaction of the Comprroller Currency were upon the samo footing us if they were in judginont, ‘Tho amount in arrears’ was liqui- dated and ag certain as if it consisted wholly of cipal insted of interost, ‘Lhe action wax th properly brought. 11 it bad been tu debt damazes Would liave been uwarded for the detention of the debt sued for, ‘The action not being In debt the same ! amount was probably included in the cass of dam ages for which the Judgment was rendered, Armed, ered the opinion, Mr. Justice Swayne deli LIFE INSURANCE COMPLICATIONS, THE GAME THAT BENJAMIN NOYES UNDELe | STANDS HOW TO PLAY---'THH DIFFICULTY Fan FROM SETTLEMENT —-2ROSPECIS OF A TIHIND CONTINENTAL RECEIVER, Benjamtn Noyes, President of the National Capital and Knight of the Tin Box, bas become the central and most imposing figure in the dixordored arena of life tn- wurance, From the time he walked leisurely into Con- necticut with bis little collection of New Jersey Mutual | nesets until ne sat himself down to moditation on the floor of a Newark jail, be has not ceased to be an ob- ject of Increasing atiraction, The army of legal hgnts that bas been engaged upon cither side of the tray have found in Mr, Noyes a most poruliar subjéct “tor dissection, Those retained in his interest havo tniied to penctrato the full extent of thoir clients intentions, | and his course has been of a nature to tax their pae tience to the farthest limit. It has been difficult to understand the real motives which have led him to disregard the advice of both friends and counsel, and stubbornly to persist in clinging to the securities which tho law commin‘led him to release. i It seemed a few days since as though the long-winded struggle between Noyes and tho New Jersey officials was really ended; but now there is" another phase which suggests a resumption of hostilities, On Friday last the celebrated tin box contatuing the securities transferred to Noyes by tho New Jersey Mutual was taken to Newark for tho purpose of dolivery to the proper authorities and the subsequent release of Noyes. It was found to contain, in mortgages, State bonds, notes and miscellaneous securitics, an aggregate face value of $177,000, This was supposed to bo but a small part of the assets transferred to Noyes by#resi- dont Stedwoll, and a turther search was inado in New York for the balance. No discovery was made, how- ever, and it was rumored that Mr. Noycs’ statements would be accepted and he would be released on $5,000 bail, THE UNRECOVERED SECURITIES, By tboso best posted in the matter, it ie firmly be- Heved that Noyes has undertaken to deceive the offi- clals and has by no means mado a full return of all tho assets which came into his possession. A copy of the contract for the reinsurance between the New Jerscy Mutual and National Capital would probably show the truth of this position, A HERALD representative yeeterday called upon ex- Judge William Fulierton, who acted for a time as coun- sel for the New Jersey Mutual, to inquire his opinion as to the amount of asgets for which Mr. Noyes should be held responsible, Mr. Fullo:.on said that the con- tinct for reinsurance, Which was drawn by Messrs, Boardman & Boardman, was brought to bim by Noyes jor his opinion. He passed his judgment upon it and beard nothing further on the subject until he learned from the newspapers that the same bad been ratitied, As nearly as he could remember, the terms of the con- tract wero general, not special, and ho bad no idea from that instrument of the amonnt conveyed, He bad subsequently seen Noyes, but not m & capacity of counsel, and had eondeav- ored to bring about a settlement between him and Receiver Parker, This undostaking had failed mainiy because Noyes was unwilling, in epite ot re- peated promises, to give an account of the proporty in his possession, Mr, Fullerton informed the writer that he bad reason to believe that Noyes bad returned only A portion of the securities aud that the end of the difli- cuity was by Do méansapparent. He thought those who were veaiing with Noyes understood these facts, and that they would keep bim io confinement until a full renderiug of his rather extraordinary stewardship bad been made, ‘THR CONTINENTAL RECEIVERSHIP. Justice Vratt, of the Kings County Supremo Court, yesterday afternoon denied (wo mouions argued before him on Saturday in. the suit brought agaist the Con- One motion was on behalf of certain creditors to set aside the appointment of Receiver Grace, on the ground that no authority was given the Court to make the apporntment except on the Attoruey General’s motion, The other waa on bebulf of the British policy holders to be declared preferred creditors, 'g The much vexed question of who shall wind up the Jontinental estate and in what manner that very de- result is to be attained will most likely West. brook, before whom the Attorney General's pro« ceeding was had on Saturday at Hudson will hold. under advisement the effect of the former proceedings of dissolution in Brook- lyn, and whea devermined upon that prelimmary point will call the case up again for further argumeni, The question of bow to dispose of the company’s afairs will then bo considered, and Counsellor Moses and bly others will urge a project to revitalize the pany. ‘The question of the receivershiy is one of | paramoans interest and excites much difference ot | oprmon between the counsel, Some dnsist that to | Ainend the entire proceedings of the Brooklyn coart will necessitate appoigtment of a new receiver in place of Mr, Wilham & Grace, Others condema this us useless, wnd are firmly impressed with the betel that Mr. Grace ts not to bo supplanted. The best ine ferences that can be drawn, huwever, pomt to the selection of another recuiver, and a contest boiween such and Mr. Grace which will have to be decided by the Court of Appeals. It is strongly binted, too, that the new appointment is to be more or less a political one, and heavy induences of that uature are said to be | at work. PRODUCE ‘EXCHANGE NOTES.

A KITCHEN CONFIDANTE. WHAT MABRY DUFFY CLAIMS TO ENOW ABOUT MBS. CALLENDAR AND DR, NOTTINGHAM— ‘HOOK NOSE” AND “RED NOSE”——A CONFES- SION THAT WAS A BASE LIE, In the Hxravo of Thuraday last appeared an inter- esting account of the proceedings betore Judge i.aw- rence, in Supreme Court, Chambers, by which the counsel of William BK, Callendar sought to set aside the injunction yranted by Judge Donohue forbidding bia | use of his wifo’s contession of oduitery, which she claims was oxtorted from her, Judge lawrence inti- mated, in taking the papers, that on grounds of mero moral right Mr, Callendar ought not tu be allowed to uso this confession, which he had ovidently extorted trom her, in his proceedings for adivorco; but reserved bia deetsion on the legal question that had been raised whether a wife could bring a suit for an injunction against her husband, Judgo iawrence has not yet rendored his decision, which is awaited by the legal fraternity with more than ordinary iuterost. The suit for a divorce brought by Mr, Callendar against his wile is being tried before the referco, George W. Parsous, Some of the testimony ts amus- ing in (he extreme, as, for Instance, that of tho servant girl, which ig outlined below :-— OVEN & DOOR. Mary Duffy, who was chambermaid, waitress and nurse at the Callondar residence, at Passaic, “ J., tes. tifled to occasions whou Mra, Caliondar was in the same rooin with Dry Nottingham and the door was closed, On one occasion a parcel came and Mary knocked at the door, What followed Mary described as follows:— T had to waita little while after t knocked, Mrs, Callendar opencd tho door wids enough to put her waist out and beld the door in her hand—just wide enough to put her head and shoulders out, George and May (lellow servants | in the house) were In the kitchen, oue standing with lus shoulders over the other, They told me to opon the door, 1 said it was vot my business’? TH MANDI 1kES. Mary related how ber mistress sent her to the Dos- tor lot handkercbietx, which she embrontered tor bin, J said, ‘Let lim buy them at the Frenchinan’s,”? she sayd—— ‘Pour fellow, be has no one to buy thom!" She got some of bis handkercbiels, aud was working hts ipivia ythem, Finally it leaked outand vawo to the servants’ ears, and then Mary was sent clan- | deetinely to the Doctor to returu him the tell-tale -fake the handk lor God's suke, for there 18 u row ab the house, He said, *What,? and bis tace got red,” MOUND TO HAVE "A Good TIME,”? Mrs. Callendar wild Mary that hee busband was Jealous of the Doctor: but as her husvand “bad a gvod time” sue (Sirs, Calendar) was going ‘to have a good time,” loo, ' On another occasion Mrs, Callondar, after rewuro- ing from New York, suid to her, “Mary, will you tuko a now down trum me? Mr. Callondar’ bar caugut me ob the satue boat with the Doctor, aud Lam rumed imust see De, Nottingham.’? 1 suid, “or God's sake, don’t.” She replied, “1 will go down to the upper lunaing, and, if he stops me, 1 will give him the con- Leuts OF that,” showing a neat little revolver, “MOOK NOSE" AND “KEN NOBE.”? According Mary's story her mistress must have been rather familiar with her, jor she spoke of the joved doctor as “Hook Nose,” aad would often say :— “I nave seen Hook Nose to-cay,"’ or, omitting the ex- pressive word, she would simply pass her finger over her nose, in a striking, significant manner, while the mistress called the doctor ‘Hook Nose."? ‘Mary pre- ferred to name him by the sull more deseriptive ap- pellation of ‘Red Nose,’? and when Mrs. Cullendar would say, ‘1 have seen — (pointing at ber nose) to-day,’? Mary would returp, “Whatdo you want to see nim for? Tho old Red Nose.” Mary told Mrs, Callenuar that she believed her hus- band ‘would catch her some time, and she repnead that she was not alraid, Q vid Mrs, Callendar express any affection for the A. She never told mo anything about her feelings for the Doctor ; she said he was a pretty nico fellow; she liked to talk of him round the house; I recullect ner having a locket, with bair in it, in tho spring of 1875; she opened the locket and said, Look atthat!’? 1 said, “Is that old Hook Nose’s hair?” sho said she would not tell that; tt had sandy hair in it; Mr, Cailendar’s hair is black, while Dr, Nottingham’s ts dark sandy, THE CROSS-EXAMINATION, Upon cross-examination ex-Judge Fallerton, coun- sel jor Mra, Culiendar, showed Mary the locket with the pair above alluded to, and Mary scemed to have douvis whether it was the samo bair which she saw previously in the locket. As tothe coniossion, Mra, Callendar’s counsel elicited from the girl this important adinission, tor ber mistress had returned trom New York, where sbo had signed the confession, she suid to Mury:—“l have signed 4 confession to the basest lie that ever was.”? Mary could not fix the date of th:s statement beyond that it was within a week of the signing of the con- fession. Alter eliciting this testimony and concluding the cross-examination, the further hearing of tue cage was postponed. PUBLIBHING THE TESTIMONY, One of the curious ieatures in the caso is that Mr: Callendar is having the testiinony published in tho Jocul paper of Passaic, where sho resides, while her husband strenuously objects to this publicity, Until recently Mr, Callendar’s counsel have furnished Mrs, Callendar with an abstract of the testimony, but sinco the objectionable publication in the Passaic paper this courtesy has been stopped. THE FREIGHT WAR, Nothing now was developed yesterday in the much talked of railroad war. Judging trom the statements of those nearest in interest it would seem that a final sottlement of the difficulty 1s as far off as ever, That a conterence was beid at the Grand Central Depot, be- twoen Messrs. Jewett, Scott and Vandorbiit, on Satur- day, was believed vy many, notwithstanding the pro- testations of ignorance mado by Mr, Vanderbilt to a HERALD reporter yesterday Mr. Jewett, of tho Erio Railway, when questioned about tho alliance against the Baltimoro and Ohio Railroad, whose presi- dont is charged with beimg the fra to break the compact entered into at tho close of 1876, did not deny that such a conference had taken place, but denied that anything haa been settled through it in relation to future rates. He said it was more of an informal talk on the present condition of freight business than aconiereuce, and that no agreement or alliance bad permanently been made, Othor meetings would probably be held, but he did not know when, Mr. Wiliam H. Vanderbilt was called upon at tho Grand Central Depot, vut professed total ignorance of tno conference, and “said that be had seen no ono and was not advised of any action regarding freights, Fie could not tell whether a conference would be held or not, and in fact he know or seemed to kffow nothing of it. It muy be remembered that im December Jast, whon cutting rates was a general custom, a meeting of the presidents of the four great trunk lines was held at the Grand Central Depot; that | fa meeting in all respects similar to the one of Saturday last was heia and some sort of a verbal agreement en- tered into between the parties attending. The under- standing Was that, if the rates there proposed proved on trial to be satisiactory, they should be continued, and 4 meeting one Week subsequently was arranged.’ This second meeting was never held, ana under the informal arrangement improvised | atthe meeting the several trunk lines continued busi- | ness Jor sometime. Lu February it was reported that the Baltimore and Ohio road had begun to “cut” again, and the dissatisinction arising out of this method and the unfavorable discriminations made against New: York brought ubout the meoting of last Savurany, Whether the supplementary meeting to the Jate con torenco will be held remains to be seen, SOUTHERN FREIGHTS. It i stated on good authority that the Savanoah steamers and the Georgia Central Railroad will com. mence cutting down rates of freight, avd inaugurate a freight war against the Charleston steamers, tho AUlantic coast line railroads, tho Uld Dominion Steamship Company and Tennessee Railroad somo timo next week, The figut promises to be a | and ships will be put ou to take all freight that may bo offered at rates that shippers will uot grumble at. ‘Thts movement 14 a set off to the meeting of amajorily of the coast lines which was held on Monday, THE PANAMA RAILROAD, The following gentlemen wero yestorday clected di- rectors of the Panama Ratlroad Company:—Jobo R, Marshall, T.
