8 THE COURTS. ernest How a Disciple of Gambrinus was Deceived by His Guests. QUEER DISCOVERY OF AN OLD WILL An Action in Which Orville L, Grant's Name is Mentioned. END OF TH HAVEMEYER LITIGATION, Se Herr Schneider, a jolly disciple and subject of Gam- brivus, is the proprietor of the Teutonia Assembly Rooms. Recently the Arminia Singing and Benevo- lent Society sought the accommodations of his rooms for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of its organization, This celebration consisted principally of aball, but the members boing nearly all Germans, their honors to the occasion would have been deemed incomplete without some singing and lage: This they had, and, in addition, ove of the membors, more ardent tn the celebration than his fellows, got on the Stag? dressed as tne Barber of Seville, and sang aa aria from the opera of that name. Upon the eventng of the entertainment Herr Schneider discovered tor the first time that a small entrance leo was being exacted from the guests, The ollicers of the Society for the Retormation of Juvenile De- Tinquents also discovered tbo same thing, und | the next thing Herr Schneider knew was that jhe was served with an injunction restraining bim from giving similar exhibitions votil be had first paid the $260 jicense fee provided by statute for theatrical per- formancos. He appeared by counsel in Supreme Court, Chambers, yest en and representing the fuct that this was merely a celebration of the cuuracter Stated and was not intended as a puviic performance; That the entrance fee was unauthorized by bim, and tuat, so fur as be knew, a similar pectormahce might never ocenrugain, asked Judge Barret to voca'e tbe injuncnon against him. Mr, Robinson, counsel lor the society, appeared in opposition, saying if the de- lendant mtendea to give nu more of such exhibitions the injunction could do bin no turm, the Judge thought the performance was an exceptional one and should not cult for a perpetual injunction. He there. fore vacated the order without costs, but with leave to she society to renew the application for an injunction if the performunce should be repeated under similar pireumstances, ROMANCE OF A WiLL. in March, 1872, Samuel P.

MONEY CONTRACTS IN THE SOUTH DURING THE WAR—IN WHAT DISCHARGEABLE, Wastnatoy, May 23, 1877, The following decision bas been rendered by the United States Supreme Court:— No. 239. William D, Stewart, administrator, et al. vs. Ezekiel Salamon et ai—Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United Stutes for tue Southern District of Georgia. —i Lis Case 18 Drougut to foreclose a mortgage executed by ove James Stewart, now deceasod, upoo ceriuta teal property situaced in the state of Georgia, to secure hid promissory note for $44,000, and for the ie of the mortgaged preinises 10 pay the amount hereon, It does not differ trom ordinary suits of foreclosure im equity, except in making tenaats ol toa, from paying over rents to the udministrator or to the heirs of the deceased, among whom, it ts alleged, the administrator has unlawiully partitioned the prem. ises. The note of Stewart bears date on the sth of January, 1863, and is payable to the order of Alien 3 Cutts ip tweive months after date, with inte: Ty waa made for the accommouation of Cuits, who in- dorsed 18 (0 Mordecai, to whom also the mortgage was executed upon the purchase of certain bonds of the Georgia and Pensa Railroad — Compan, In March, 1866, $ 25 were credited upon the xo! Bubsequeniiy the note and mort. gage were assigned to the =~ complainants. The point of contention 1% whether the note was originally solvable in Contederate currency of in the legal currency of the United States. The Circuit Court must huve beld that it was solvable in jegal currency apd wos 80 intended by the parties, for its decree 13 for the full amount claimed, Ja its ruling in this respect we think the Court crred. it seems to us that the evi- dence avundautly justifies the conclusion ui transaction, for which (be nove was ip part given, W: im Confederate currency, At the time the rairvad bonds were purchased, January 6, 1863, the treasury notes of the Confederate goverument constituted the principal currency of Georg.a, 1m which business traus- actions Were conducted. It was tu them that reler- ence was always made Wuen dollars were mentionea uniess coin was specified. Tois condition of things appearing, the presumption is that im the purchase of the ratiroad bonds the purties bad those notes in con. templaviou, Aud the testimony of Cutts aud of others cogmizant of the transaction, except Mordecai, is pos- ilive that sueh was the ease, The conceded iacis re- pecting the transaciion lead to the same conclusion. ‘The value of the bouds was estimated at the tune in Contederate currency; they were sold for eigbiy cents on the dollar in that currency. The casi payment of over $12,000 Was io Lhe same currency. The $60,000 hole given at the time Was paid a low montus alter. ward in that currency. itis highly improbable that an excepuonal distinction was made with reference to the buiance for which the note uf Stewart was exe- cuted, Certainly the presumption is strong tho other Way. The transaction aud testimony together leave no doubt in OnF minds OD thd suUbsect. ‘Tue sum therelore in actual money which the nove of Stewart ropresented aud which be promised to pay eal carreney of tho ited Stutes at the time the note was made and ut the place where it wus made ot Confed- erate Treasury notes, equal in nominal amount to tho | number of dollare specified, Anda’ the puyment 1s endorsid on the pote in the sane monetary terms Whieh are used In LN Lote itsel!, the presumption is ihat the payment was intended to be credited im It the parties intended other Wise, some proof on the sub; sented, The credit was Mave without «| tion, aud there 18 no evidence (hat the doliars mentioned tn the receipt was different trom the dodars montioned in the noe, As the matter 6 | presented to us ihe priacipal desiynated on tho face of the note is omy Teduced Ww the umount specified 1 the receipt.
