NEW ° YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL UW, 1877. --TRIPLE SHEET. i PROTECTING THE ORPHAN. & DECISION OF THE GENERAL TERM OF THE SU~ PREME COURT WHICH WILL BEJOICE WIDOWS AND OKPHANS—NO COSTS TO BE ALLOWED TO PARTIES DEFEATED IN A WILL CONTEST. The General Term of the Supreme Court, presided over by Judge Davis, seem to be engaged tn a laudable endeavor to correct the various abuses of the law, some of which were referred to at length im the Hexatp of Sunday. The decision of the Goneral Term unanimously rebuking Judge Donohae for bis “unjustifiable” and ilegal action tp fining # debtor the amount of judgment and costs which bad been ob- tained against him, for contempt in refusing to an- Swer a question, and committing him to jail until he should bave paid this unprecedented fine, was a sadly needed warning to others of our judges, While thut decision was a weicome protection of the outraged rights of personal liberty an- otber is equally important in guarding orpbans and widows from the rapacity of lawyers who are ready to contest wills, » when they have no genuine case, and, \f they are defeated, feel sure of getting at least heavy counsel fees out of the estate, Judge Davis has just delivered an elaborate opinion, concurred in by Jadges Brady and Daaiels, deciding that the Surrogate cannot allow costs to the defeated party in a will con- test, THR OLJECT OF THE DECISION, This decision is meant to break up a practice, or, rather, malpractice, which has been goiug on for years, and robbed many a poor Widow and beiple: orphan of the best portion of their inheritance for the Denefit of some speculative lawyer. In the present Anatance the amount of costs involved is only $3,000 out of an estate of about $100,000; but it 1s the prin- ciple which is of importance, and not the accidental amount in any case. The present case arose put of the contest over the will of Eliza Hearsey. The Surrogate found against the contestants, the Chiidren's Aid Society and St, Luke’s Home, but al lowed their counsel, Messrs. D. R, Jaques and H, 1, Clinton, $3,000 for tees and disbursements. The exec- utors of the will, which wag admitted to probate, up- pealed to the General Term trom that part of the Sur. rogate’s decision making the allowance, and the latter bas now been reversed, go that the lawyers in ques- Mon have to go without their foes and are not even ro- \mbursed for tneir actual expenses. They have, how- ever, appealed from this decision annulling thei allowances to the Court of Appeals, whose final adj’ cation of the question will, of course, be looked forw: to with unusual {nterest by, the legal {raternity, A! ones by numerous quotations from laws and pre that such allowances to defeated parties were ahh contemplated by the statute, Judge Davis pro- ceeds in his opinion as follows :— JUDGK DAVIS’ OPINION, We think, therefore, that the Surrogate has no power under the act “of 1870 to make ailowances to parties who do vot ‘‘prevail’’ 1p cases cuptested before him, He may excuse such parties, If the case be in his judgment @ proper one, from the payment of costs personally; but be cannot take the subject matier of the contest which he adjudyes to beloug to the success- arty and distribute it oF y partot it among his led antugouisty, A cousiruction which permits that to be done hostile to the spirit of our laws, which tn cases of established testacy requires estates to be divided according to the will of the testator, aud iu cuses of intestacy according to the stature al dis- tributions, It is also against public policy, for tt vir- tually offers a brive to reckless contestants and their counsel to prevent the settlement of esiaies by Promoting litigation wand engendering strife, wheo tor tbeir every interest ot the public calls speedy adjustment. It might abuses to the injury of the widows the creditors of deceased person: should be sedulous to protect. It would be @ bazard- ous expert t fora wealthy man to attempt to dis- Pose ol his estate by bis own will if it could be distrib- uted the mere will of the Surrogate among the counsel of all who choose to set up whatever pre- tence of contest tho ingenuity of avarice can devise, We do not mean by these suggestions to indicate wnat the will in this case was impruperly contested, but on the contrary we think the contestants had probablo Cause to resist the probate of the wil propounded and Lbat their contest was in all respects tairly conducted, and for that reason we have excused them trom costs im all th peals. With considering the several other questions presented by the appeal, some of which are fatal to a large portion of the allowance, we think it our duty to reverse the parts of the order appealed from, but without costs. THX WISTORY OF THE WILL, The above decision will revive the interest attaching to the case outs of which it arose, and which is also ere dtey the Court of Appeals. Eliza Hearsey, ‘an old lady ot halve g efle at No. 40 Chariton street, died on February 3, leaving an estaie valued at about $100,000. Twor ml is were found, one executed on July 11, 1874—only soven months belere ber death—which ieft her property to @ niece in wh ‘ Misa Noyes, and the family of James Loveridge, who Fe ruary 8, 1872, provided for Miss Noyes also but in a smaiier degree, left the Loveridges out in the cold entirely, and left a large portion of her estate to the Children’s Aid Society and St Luke's Home, The last named societics contested the will through their counsel, Messrs. D. R. Jaques and H. L. Clinton, on the ground of undue tniluence exercised by Miss Noyes and the Loveridge family. [t appeared on the trial that she laticr bad leased the Chariton street residence of Mrs, Hearsey, under agreement to leave fertain rooms for ber exciusive occupation, and to pro- vide her board (in lieu of paying rent) Mrs. Hearsey suffered from a variety of diseases, was feeble and even flighty in her mind—so much so ‘that she sometimes imagined she was in her vid King sts residence. contestanis Was that the altestipg wituesses Were all purties interested in the second will, and that no one knew of its execution, not even Mrs, Hearsey’s old nurse, un- tilatter her death, Mr. Loveridge testified that the will was drawn up by him in the basement upon in- Btructions received up stairs in her room from the testatrix, but that he bad tora up the instructions. Surrogate Hutchings, in an extended opinion, admitted the second will to probate on the ground that neither $ nor undue influence bad been estab- ly to reverse it. The General Term confirmed this decision ou appeal, but the case has now been carried to the Court of Appeals, where it is still pending, THE BURNED UNFORTUNATE, At last the “unknown” party, who was suspected of baving set fre to tho clothing of his mistress, Lucy Freeman, at a house of ill-fame in Twenty-seventh Street, on the 3d inst., and so causing her death, was taken into custody yesterday at the corner of Houston und Mulberry streets by detectives Ferris and Adams, * The prisoner ts a low sized man, aged forty-five, and of ‘® very excitable temperament, When relating bis Ponnection with the sad ‘affair before Mr. Toul, tho Coroner's cierk, ho waved his arms to and troand ges- Miuted wildly. His name is Henry Cooper; be is a ative of Holland; hay a strong foreiga accent and has lived at No. 102 East Houstou street le is pastry took and had been acquainted with the unfortunate Birl for some time and culled on her, according to his bw statement, on the 3d inst. were sm ing m the giri’s room, and the accident occurred Ubrough Lucy's own carelessness, She twisted up a Piece of paper eightcon inches long, lit it at the pas Jet, passed it to Heury, who it his cigar with it and ‘then handed it back to Lucy, who also lit a cigarette, Then she dropped tue paper into Lhe spittoon, a little behind hor, aud beiore she was aware of her danger her train bad caught fire aud she was enveloped in flames, To use Cooper's words:— “I tried to stamp and put out ze flame, maw, I can. | not; I run to xe bath room, get water, do’ ail Fora to stop ze fire, It is no use, Ze giri ery out; house is alarm; peuple come; Lam ‘iraid; You't hike | to be caugnt in such place; 801 fly; mais, bath room.” During this speech, made in the strongest of French aceenis, which no doubt accounts for his having been described as a Frenchman, he was laboriug under the most intense excitement.” He concluacd :-— “1 did not make fire to dis girl, Nevare!

Rug- gies, of Tioga county, Pennsylvania, yesterday wok passage for Providence. Orrin is a young maa, fresh from his native heath and imnocent of guile, and as be strode the vessel’s deck yesterday he longed fora cheerful companion. Such a ove presented bimeelf in the person of Ed Nesbit, a geutloman peculiar ‘for ways that are dark,” but who, tn a vest and cout of clerical cut, is @ man of singularly meek and saintly presence, In such guise he came yesterday and to Mr. Ruggles be imparted, with a show of consequence, that be was @ leather merchant who bad @ cargo of hides on board. The yout man from ‘Tioga was delighted to make so repatable an acquaint- ‘ance, and when the latter snowed him a pocketbook filled with gold coin his opinion of the s:ranger be- came still higher, Afier absenting himself for # while to look after his merchandise the clerical looking stranger ri ear oe seid burriedly that be was at a ioe Bega seem yo to pay some troight charges, and taking out @ 01 huudred dollar bill be laiu 16 on Orrin’s lap and said— “Will you loan me $45 for an hour or two til we can change that bill? Keep it till then.” Mr. Ruggles was only too happy to b in @ position to oblige bis uew acquaintance, and be at once counted out the required sum, The stranger Look it ued bis gratitude, rose to go, and then, as if an idea struck him, ve said:— “Ah, perhaps I could get some change for the bill below.’ Let me have it if you can and take this,’ at the same time producing the plethoric pocketbook in which was the gold com. ‘Take, tt, my dear sir,’’ be auded, seeing aga Mr. Ruggles hesitated, “it is u mere form, of course, but judicious, sir, very judicious among business men, One cannot tell nowadays with whom one ts ling. Take it, sir, till J ro- taro,” The stranger, smiling still more poavelle bait him- self away, and the Tioga youth placed the pocketbook in his coat, thinking all the time how prec! and formal these business men were ip their dealings. There bad been a witness, however, to this colloquy in the person of aamall but thoroughly posted darky, who expressed his contempt of the whole proeeeding by halioing out, “Hay, Boss! Reckon you’re sold. That ’ar ole cuss’ll ‘dua away with the sugar, You're robbed boss, shuab, At this Orrin F, Ruggles, of Tioga, rose to his feet, And, in his surprise and consternation, hoarsely arti gts jonny, 1 kin ran some. And he could, Betore the stranger bad left the pier Orrin bad overhauled him, and with his 4 flercely clutching the cout of clerical cut he demanded his money. His acquaintance of the upper deck looked up In surprise. “What!” said he, ‘did you think I was stealing {t, sir? If you did, sir, hereit is. Now give me mine”? ‘At this moment Sergeant Gastlin, of the steamboat squad, appeared and arrested Urrin’s triend, who was po other than Edward Nesbit, alias Adal well known confidence operator. It 18 needless to rdd that the plethoric pocketbook contained a lot of bogus coin.
