OUTSPOKEN JUDGE. AN Some very singular facts were stated yesterday in the course of ap argument before Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Chambers, Mr. Edward Kempton, counse! for the lady in the case—for somehow or other there 18 most always a lady mixed up in one way and another in the more interesting litigations before she courts—stated that if the bottom facts were to be told the case would present features of sullicient di matic interest to fil a volume. According to his 51 ment and allegations, set forth in various papers which he read, Mrs, Victorina McCloskey has been an inno- cent sufferer at the hands of those who should bave befriended her. It was stated that by a former husband she has three children —_hiviug, sho berself veing the daughter of a promiment Southern gentleman known as the cotton king of the South, Alter her marriage to her present husband, Mr. McCloskey, being repre- sented as u relative of Cardinal McCloskey, she sent ber three children to her tarm in Genesee county, 11 thia State, Subsequently she went to Genesee county upon notification wat her daugnter was seriousiy ill, Shortly alter her arrival sho disco to get her there tor the purpose of instituting proceed- ings against her under a writ of de Innatico inquirendo, It was stated by ber counsel that such proceedings were had; that sbe was adjudged a lunatic and Mr. Jasper V, Lewis appointed committee of her person And estate. About this time she had received irom Senator Christiancy a legacy of $10,500 left to bim in trust’ for her, which = was alse placed in charge of Lowis. Up to tho present time Mr, Lewis hus remained as such commit- lee, abd she avers that he has only paid ber $250 during all these years, An effort is now being made to Bet aside such adjudication of lunney. Meantime her mental condition has been examined by Dr. Alopzo Ciark, Dr, Finveli and Surgeon 9’ Donohue, of the United States Army, all ot wnom pronounce her per- fectly sano and competent to have the management of her own estate, It was stated that ber present hus- ‘band 1s salesman in a store and that throogh the small sums paid to her by her committee she has suilered at times for the want of the necessaries of life. Mr. Peck, of Batavia, objected to the application for the appointment ofa receiver pending the proceedings to set aside the adjudication of lunacy, claiming that the matter was not witnin the Jurisdiction of this Court, but should properly come bolore the Judge of Geneseo county, where the original proceedings were instituted. Judge Donobue asked tho counsel to hand up their Papere, stating that he would give the case careful consideration. GAMBLERS OVERHAULED. Philip Hudnett, of No, 155 Kast Forty-seventh street, entered the gumbling house No, 8 Barclay street—the place where Mr. Danser 1s reported to have made the balk of bis large fortune—and lost $350 ‘bucking the tiger.” Ho made a complaint to the police and pointed out to Detective Dunn, who accompanied bim+ to the premises, William Thorne, Jobn Daly and George Baker, whom ho swore officiated as dealers and lookouts, The prisorers were indicted under sec- hions 40 and 41 of article 3 of the Revised Statutes. Yhere were eight counts in the indictment and the prisoners, on being arraignea by Assistant District Attorney Herring, pleaded guilty to the first cuunt charging them with keeping a gambling house aud with being dealers, Jookouts and | gainekcepers in the game of “taro.” Section 40 of the gainbling law prescribed a fine of not less than $50 OF more (han $400 on conviction of keeping 4 gambling house. The next section provides that all persons con- Victod of being a dealer or lookout or gamekeeper of the game ot faro shall ce sentenced to a term of not Jess than ten days in the Penitentiary or more than two years in the State Prison, aud ted im any sum not more than $1,000, or remain in prison unul the fine should be paid or remitted. In passing sentence Judge Gildersieeve said that under the circumstances the law was inadequate, as the maximam penalty he could impose under the plea put in was $500 fine. Owing to the usual custom to reduce fines and putishment in cuses where the accused suved time and expense by pleading | fuilly be would, however, impose a fine of $250 each | bn tbe three defendants. Judge Gtldersieeve re- marked that he considered the punishment pre-eribed for the prisoners under the law entirely insulticient nd ill-proportioned, since persons accused of keeping @ gambling house could under the law ve punisbed by only a fine, while those charged with being dealers, Jookouts or keepers of the game could be punished doth by fine and imprisonment, This was evidonuy unjust, and be regretted that he bad not the power to impose an adequate penalty on persons convicted of keeping gambling houses, It wus cieurly no punish- ment 0 fine rich gambling house keepers, who could easily puy the flue and be discharged, while some poor Jellow, who perhaps ouly earned a living by dealing or keeping count of the game, woula vader the law be punished on cunviction by fine and imprisonment, INTER: ING LO BROKERS, The Goneral Term of the Court of Common Pleas has Just decided on the appeal of William C, Wetmore and others from the judgment obtained against them in March, 18/6, by Allen L, Mordecat.

The summer of 1876, a3 is well kuown, was fumous all over the country for outbursts of enthusiasm in honor of the centennial of the Republic.

SHARP JUDICIAL REPRIMAND. Tn the euit of Thomas M. Tyog against Luther R. Marsh and anoth: Petition was recently submitted to Judge Sanford, in the Superior Court, on behalf of Plaintiff, in whieh it is alleged that the main issue in the action was the reasonable value of certain pro- fessional services rendered by Marsh & Weltos as at- torneys for Mr. Tyng in collecting certain moneys, out of which they retained for their services the sum of | $17,250, Mr, Tyng claims worth more than $3, excess. The as the petition states, was relerred to E. L. Fancher, who decided in favor of the defend- 18, and upoa which judgment was entered and an peal taken to the General Term of the Superior Ceurt.

In the hope diftidently indulged that the more charitable bypothesia may be the correct one, the Court denies the application, without costs, and relrains from the rebuke that would otherwise pe due,’” A WIDOW'’S DOUBLE TITLE.

A LETTER FROM MR. BERGH ON THE SUBJECT. Naw York, April 16, 1877. To rax Eprron or Ta Hera.p:—- In the Hunaup of to-day there is a thoroughly able and comprehensive casay on impure milk. As you are good enough to speak of a onse of cruelty to man and beast in that connection which was prosecuted in tho Court of Special Sessions by me on Saturday last per- mit me to supplement that excellent article with a dis- couraging fact or two which bave not been alluded to. For tho prosecution the evidenco was overwhelming and conclusive that sixteen cows had been confined in a dark, crowded and ill-ventilated stable, ted on “chick- ens’ entrails” and other garbage, the refuse of kitchens and slop barrels; and those tacts were certilied to by br. Ewipy, of the Health Board, who accompanied the oflicers of this Society on the occasion of their in- spection of the premises, The defendant produced no tesuumony bus bia own and his deience was more oculur than oral, for the Court, sympathizing with bis soiled and woe-begone looks, found him guilty and im- josed a penalty of one day’s sojourn iu the City rivon, Which means a good winner and a discharge at four o’clock the samo afternoon, by which imercilul treatment the “Silkmatd,” as these men in charge of suel pestilential places are called, w bled 10 ree me his occupation of squeezing trom the inflated udders of theso wretched creatures the fou! called milk and dispense it to the children and adults of his locality again, But this 1s not all, jor on the rendition of the verdict, uccomparied by some commiserating remarks on tho part o! the presiding magistrate in favor of tho culprit, * tho sovereign people” present burst out with tamultuous applause, suggesting the perpetration of a first class murder by n popular actor on the Bowery stage! Protest on my part of no avail—to wit, “ that while sympathy was vory weil in the mau’s case It was still more im- portant oa behalf of the hundreds of unsuspecting con- sumers of the stuf which he was instrumental in por oning thom with.’’ Judging by that popular expre: sion on the part of the audience assembled there weave you to infer which of the two meu—the prose- cutor or the prosecuted—seemed to be the most guilty ty ? Was not that theatrical demonstration a ver- dict in favor of what you term ‘Death in the Mulk- cant’? Respectiully, HENRY BERGH. THE HORRIBLE MIXTURE UPON WHICH COWS ARE FED. New Yor, April 17, 1877. To Tux Eviror oF THe HERALD i— Your exposé in your edition of to-day of the wretched and filthy condition of tho ‘‘cow sheds’’ in the upper part of this city, and tho horrible mixture with which the cows ure fed, entitles you to the heartfelt thanks of tho entire community. If an inspector of our costly Board of Health’? would only make a tour any morning through the streets running from Fifth tw Sixth avenue, commencing at Seventeerth and going up to Twenty-third street, he will tiud numer- ous dirty, dilapidated looking Wagous standing op- posite private bouses and being loaded with the refuse of the kitchens—asbes aud other fith—the smell {rom which is enough to create disease, let alone the disgusting appearance of the owners or drivers ot Vehicles, who, regardless of the rigbts of taxpayers, fufecute passers-by with oither a dose” of ushes or « whiff of the foul ‘cow fecd.”? 1b seems strange that these ‘squatters’ are aliowed to ply their filtuy trade in broad daylight, and thus #pread abroud disease and death, Keep at it, Mr. Editor, ior the sake of thousands of future readers of your feariess paper, and let the citizens see how they @re wronged and outraged by persons who have no ideneo or respousibility in the oity, and who are allowed, with periect impunity, to load and cars through the streets the disgusting foul substance with which they feed their cows, and thus impregnate the milk which is daily consumed by thousands of adults and infants, C,H.
