8 THE COURTS. The Old Story of Marriage, Cruelty and Divorce. MARSHALL JEWELL SAYS SOMETHING. — ooo Important Decision in the Case of the ’Longshoremen. A POLICEMAN’S DISPUTED PLACE. Domestic troubles of every description have of late kept the courts continually busy. The latest in the Bimost interminable list of this class of cases is the Suit for limited divorce brought by Belle Richards against her husband, Charles E. Richards, which de- velops some rather interesting facts. The cuse came before Judge Sanford yesterday onan order to show cause and an application to continue a temporary injunction against the defendant restraining him trom interfering with the children, issue of the mar- riage, and also for an order giving their custody to Mrs, Richards, the petitiouer. Mrs, Richards in her petition states that the only issue of the marriage isa boy named Charles, five years of age, and a boy named Arthur, eighteen months old, who are now in the jomt custody of herself and husband, She states, however, that her husband refuses to allow the children to remain with her, and she believes ho intends to remove them to some place where she canuot seo them, She alleges, further, that be 18 not a proper person to tuke charge of the children, that he is intemperate and abusive, a spendthrift and without any visible means of support, and neither he nor avy of his family ure citizens of tne United States, ‘An affidavit made by Charles Allon states that ho is perscnally acquainted with Mr. Richards; that in the month of May, 1576, he Was boarding in tie same house with the parties at Red Bank, N. J. ; that one day, while in the parlor of the boarding Louse, le heard & boise of scuilling and struggling 1m an spartment on the next floor above, and, hustening to the front of the » staircase. he heard bis name cailed by a loud aud anxious lemale voice, which he recogmized as that of | laintif. He at once went to ther apartment, where e found the piaintif crouching ito a@ corner of the room, with ber infapt, then about six months old, an her arros, while the celenuunt was standing by, bis face tlusned, his manner violent avd excited. ‘The plaintifl was crying, and when she saw depouent cried but that the deiendunt had been beating her and her child, and called deponent’s ateution to a crimson mark on the infant’s taco. ‘The defendant excitedly paced the floor and suid be wanted no interterence and Could manage his family as he chose. Mr. Allen tur- ther states tbat, while boarding at the plaintifl’s house im West Filty-third street, in January last, another violent scene took place of a similar nature, and he ulterward noticed a black ard blue swelling on the laintift’s torehead, which she said was the elect of a Biow infictea by ber husband. ‘he parties afterward moved to another number in the same street, and on tue day of moving tne eldest boy of the parties camo running te deponent and told him to come right over, that “papa was beating mamma.” He at once went * over and found the pluinuff in tears and the two chil- dren screaming, wud whea he asked Mrs, Richards what was the matter she said her husband had been Deating her. Mr, Allen also alleges that Richards 1s a man of ungovernable temper and addicted to drink, and that he is in the habit ot applying opprobrious * pames to his wife. Joseph Moss, a music teacher and resident of Eliz: beth, says be Las known the platatiff for twenty years and has lived in the same house with the parties; tuat the husband would seize upon any pretext to creato dissension, He says that Mrs, Richards 18 a lady of refinement and education, having been carefuily edu- cated at ipswich Female Scminary, near Boston, Muss. , und has numerous and thilueatial frieads, He says, further, that she 13 & good wile and mothor and averse to quarreiling. Julia C, Beil makes an allidavit setting up similar acts of cruelty. Ex-Postmaster General Marshall Jewell makes the foliowiug ullidavit:—"Marsbal Jewell, beimg duly sworn, says, MY Nutne is Marshall Jewell; am filty-oue yeurs of age, by occupation a manulacturer, and reside dn the city of Hartiord, State aloresaid; have koown Mirs. Belle Richuras, the plaintiff in the above enutied suit, weil for more than fifteen years, having been ber guest when she was Miss Baxter, and she mine often, both betore and since her marriage, 1 know her to be @ most amiable, forbearing and long suffermg lady, osseseing an cven temper and excelieut good sees woru, &c. MARSHALL JLWELL.”” ‘The plaintiff also makes an ultidavit, in Which she slates tnal she has been oblized to mortgage some of ber own separate property in order to support tte Ge fevdant and her coildren; that she 1s airaid tne de- Jendant—who is a citizen of Great Britain—intends to remove the children to Canada or beyond the seas, and for this reason ghe prays the immediate restrain. ing power of this Court, Upon tuis state of facts, as given above, Judge Sanford erday awarded the Gustody of the children to the petitioner. PUBLIC POLICY 'LONGSHORE, There appeared in the Hany a few days since a report of the facts and argument in a proceeding insti« tuted by Mr, Matthew P, Breen on bebalf of two mem- bers of the ’Longshoremen’s Union Protective Asso- ciation, No. 2, of New York, to compel the officers to accept and recognize them as members in good stand- ng. It was claimed on their bebalf that they bad been expelled for violating a resolution of the socicty pronibiting the members from working for less thaa forty cents an hour on pain of expulsion; that their trial and sentence was not only irregular and void, but that the resolution whch was the basis of it was itself void, as being against public policy. This is the first time that the proposition that sich a resolution in waxes and imposing a its violation has been squurely met by a sion, und the present decision ot Judge Barrett on that point will be regarded Wilh interest by members of all trade unions and as- sociauions similar w the one made a purty vo these proceedings. In relation to it the Judge, alter dis- posing of other pots, says:—'*The question, there. Jure, 18 one of law, a¥ to the vulidity of the by-law. The corporation was organized, as its certillcate indi cates, jor benevolent purposes, aud this by-law pro- Libis any of 1's memvers, under penalty oi tive, sus~ pension or expulsiou, irom working tor less (hun tory. cents per hour. Such a by-law of such # corporation is Unreasonable and oppressive, It 18 contrary to pubs he pohey. Lt limits a man’s right to carn nis hivell- hovu in bis own proper way. For conduct which is beither inherently Wrong wor subversive of any benev- Olent or charitable purpose it subjects the member to disfranchisement and deprives him of his right to the benevolent offices of the corporatiou,’? The Judge jurther finds it to be uncontradicted tuat the secretary of the association had relused to accept dues trom the expelled members, the defenuants aileg- ing is act to be unauthorized, On Uhis point he says: “From this admittedly illegal action of the secretary has resulted the president's refusal (o treat the reator as atmember or to permit him to vote, To ask we member who has been thus wronged to sue for rein- statement indicates a gross misconception of the true position of the respective parties’? The Judge con- Gludes by directing @ mandamus to issue in each caso to compel the reinstatement of the expelled members and ulso imposing costs on the respondents, APPOINTED OR NOT? Mr. Hagh Massey was formerly a membor of the Municipal Police and resigaed. Recently he asked tor & reappointment, and on the 15th of May a resolution ‘was passed by the unanrmoas vote of the Police Com- missioners granting his request, The statute provides in relation to reappointments that the applicant shall Bot be over thirty years of age. Mr. Massey was noti- fied of his appointment, was ordered to be assigned to ® precinct and to report at Police Headquarters on the relation to fixing a rate of for penalty 18th of May. When he reported in pursuance of this order he was informed that on the previous day tne Comsmiss:oners had passed a second resolution in his Gabe rescinding (he Arst, on the ground of his being over thirty years of age. ‘he case came before Judge Gilbert, 1a Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, on @p application on bebalt of Mr. Massey for a wan- gamus to compel the Police Commissioners to permit bin to go bvelore the medical examiner, aud if acceptable to issue to him the proper certificate of his appointment, Me, L. J. Grant om the part oi Mr. Massey contended that the appoint Ment Was complete ov the passage of the resolution to that effect, tue appointees beg physically capable of passing the medical examination, aud willing to take tie cath of off dir, MacLean, who appeared on the part of the Police Commissioners, conteuded that the appointinent was incomplete unul Mr. Massey bad pussed the medical examination and taken the oath of office, and that While incomplete the commissioners had a right to revoke their resolution of appointment. Tt was conceded that if the appointment nad be cumpicte the oflicer could be removed only alter charges preferred in the usual form, a trial and con- Viction. It appeared upon the argument that the day of Mr. Maseey’s wppointment was his thiruieth birth- day, and the question was presented whether on his birthday be shad be considered us over or not over the thirty years which is the limit of the statute, Judge Gilbert took the papers, reserving his decision, COMPELLED TO STAY. Judge Sanford yosterday rendered a decision in the gano of tho New York Inaemnity Company vs, Roberts and Gleason, the bond forgers, who made separate ap- for their discharge trom {inprisonment un+ gor section 288 of the Couc, on the ground that the plainti had neglected to issue execution against their for more than three months since the entry of Judgo Sanford says:—“Under the pro- Visions of this section dofendants are not entitled to discharge unless there has beon laches on the shelr : Gait Ibs Bietitee posta by aed them in execution then it good cause reason of orders @ return of the execution.” now under consideration im- against his property is outstanding, and authorizes the more stringent remedy only when the more lenicat one bas proved ioffective, ‘The official retarn—an ex- ecution against no control Over such other actions, and cannotsinter- venue to procure their trial or dismissal, The defen anis nay bring them, or he may apply lor a dismissal thereof lor want of prosecution whenever they see fit, Under these circumstances it cannot be clumed that the platntiif! has been guilty of laches in not charging the defendants in execution within three months after the ry ot judgment, No nogiect can be imputed to the plaintiff in omitting to do that which cannot be done, ere can be no aelauit in law where the law prohibit periormance. right to dis cbarge {8 not absolute even in case of laches, Th remedy against property must be exbuusted betore the remeay against person 1s resorted to, 1t cunnot be deemed to have been exhausted while tho lien on at- tacbment to which an execution against property ro- leases (us in this case) remains uoenforced, The ex- istence of such a lien, the inability of the piainuil to secure its immediate eniorcement and the necessity of its abandonment in order to secure the return of an execution against property and the consequent right of resort to fval process against the person within three months after che entry of judgment seem to mo to be “good cause” for denying the defendants’ motion for their discharge {rom custody, Motiuns denied, with $10 costa, A COUNTERFEIT OaSE. Wolff Schwartz and Selig Bernstein, who were ar- rested on a charge of passing # counterfeit filty-dollar bill on the Central National Bank of the city of New York, were taken before United States Commissioner Osborn for examination, Colonel Spencer, counsel for the accused, announced ag the ground of defence that Bernstein’s wile received the counterteit money, with- out knowing 1s character, from some unknown per- gon who gave it to her in exchange tora number of Russian roubles, ‘Tue* trial was adjourned for testi- mony in the case, LAW CASES.

In opening the June term of the Court of General Sessions yesterday Judge Gildersl eeve delivered a con- cise and comprehensive address. Mr, Edward Von Volkenburg, dry goods merchant, of No, 384 Broad- ‘wey, was chosen as foreman of the Grand Jury, Judge Gildersleeve remarked that by a careful consideration of the cases presented the Grand Jury would save a great deal of labor, time and expense. Indictments, for instance, should not be found unicss the members of the Grand Jury wore satisfied of the guilt of the parties accused. By carelessness and inattention to the form of complaints submitted much timo was often unnecessarily expended, and iu many cases innocent men suffered considorabiy from tne want of sufticiently close observation, In conclusion Judge Gildersioeve gave the usual instructions in ac- cordance with the statutes affecting gambling, the Ex- cise law and obscene literature, intimating that by a careful attention to the general rules aid down inno- cent parties charged with crime would be satisfactorily disposed of and the guilty would meet with their proper deserts. The Grand Jury thon retired to con- sider tho various bills presented. ALLEGED DEFALC\TION.

The only progress made in the trial was the hearing of tho excuses of those who had been solected for jurymen., ‘There were twenty-four gentlemen on the struck jury panel, and many of these offered to Judge Westbrook one or more reasons why they should not serve. Tho Judge, however, consented ofly to excuse four—vawely, Mr. Francis Alexander, Mr. Richard Arnold, Mr, Gilmore Coliemore und Mr, James R. Whiting. Mr. Christian Herter, who is ta Europe, and Mr, Joseph C.

APPKARANCE OF THE DEFENDANT, Mr, Sweeny, with his brother-in-law, ex-Senator John S, Bradiey, sat at tho lawyers? table to the ex- tremo right of the bench, ‘There is vory little change in bis personal appearance since the days when he ruled New York ag “the brains” of the ‘Yammany Ring. His jauutiness of manner 18 not quite so mani- fest, and that cynical exprssion; ‘that tm ‘the Ring’? era somotimes became a leer, has been Ne Wee by a calmer and moro seli-contaimed luok, The hunge 1s noticeable in his dress, Mr, Sweeny was never a dandy; ho never dressed as ‘“*loudly” as the majority of the. members of the Americus lav, yet im the days of Tammany triumphs aoa “Ring? stealings he hud a gay and testiv look, that bespoke tbe man of pieasure, Yes- terday he was probably more plainly attired than bis New York triends had been accustomed to sce bim. He wore a very peat blue-black irock coat and vest, und striped pants and biack tie, His only orna- ment Im the way of jeweiry was a diamond Anger ring. His hatr os still as raven black and as abundant as in the days ol old. The Europexn sojourn has changea him less than it would bave changed most men under the same circumstances. His manner was treo tron norvousness, he puid great attention to the counto- nances of the jurymen, and as cach came forward to oiler their excuses he evidently took a quick mental measurement of the Juror, When the proceedings were over he left the room with Mr, Bradicy and his counsel. ‘Lhe court room was not crowded, and few persons of note were present, PATTEN AND HIS WIFE'S SISTER | Mr, William Patten isan employé at present of the | Union Square Theatre and Giimore’s Garden, He has held diferent responsible positions in the army, and was some years ago commissary of the Seventh regi- ment. Though quite well off at one time he is now in a somewhat embarrassed state, There 1s a divorce suit at present pending befure the Supreme Court in which ho 1s the complainant, His wife hves with her sister, Mrs. Lena Arteaga, at No, 108 Kast Fourteenth street, The latter lady preterred a charge of assault und battery against Patten before Judge Wandell on Suturday aud he was arrested yesterday. Mrs, ‘Arteuga, who 1s a very prepossessing looking lady, and wus drossed ia becoming style, said that she had been aunoyed very much by Patton lately, who lolowed her into theatres aud diflereat public pluces and called her all sorts of vile names, On the 30h of Muy he tollowed hor from her home to Surony’s photograpa gallery, in Broadway, and while she was going up the Stairs to the fourth fluor ne kept persistently behind her, calling her by name, aud abusing her in such a manner us to attract attention, At the entrance to the gailery she put her hand on bis arm and sai “You have no business here, You don’t want your picture taken, ’? Patten abused her again and slapped her violently in the face, Mr. Patton explained through bis counsel that be did not wish to go into any discussion on the mater; that he acknowledged being im Surony’s on the day named, and met bis sister-in-law there. Ste made an attempt to scratch his fuce, and ho shoved her away from him. He bad been annoyed a great deai by both his wife and the complainant, Juuge Wandell said that he considered that there was # great deal to be suid on both sides and dismissed the complaint. JUTED MAN. Oscar Goctzer roamed through East Thirty-fourth street on Sunday evening shoeiess und with the rain descending on his uncovered head, He acted so strangely that an officer asked him what he was doing. “Yesterday,” he said, ‘1 crossed the Hudson, and on this sido of the river a large crowd of rufiians us- suuited me. assassination was their object, but I es- cuped. Then I procecued aloag the east side, when a man with @ dagger attempted to kill me. Then I paliod out this weapon at which tho feliow rau.” Here Goetzer showed the officer a razor, ‘*Tuen | reached ‘Thirty-lourth sircet, Here peopie seized mo and tried to throw me into the East River, bat your arrival frightened them off.’? By this time the officer had made up his mind that Goetzer was out of lis mind, and took him in charge. At tho Fifty-seventh Street Court yesterday he told the Judge he had been robbed of $25 and a gold locket, He was commitied lor medical examination, THE MELROSE OULRAGE. Thomas Bohmer, John Ublich and William Napier, residing in 154th street, between Courtlandt and Elton avenues, were arraigned before Judge Kilbreth yester- day, on the complaint of Bridget Schraub, ot No. 190 A PERSE STEAM ON THE BELT ROAD. ANOTHER MEETING OF THE STREET ALDER- MANIC COMMITTEE—ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSI- TION TO THE PLAN. An adjourned meeting of the Street Committee of | the Bourd of Aldermen was held yesterday after- noon for the purpose of bearing arguments 1p oppos! tion to the proposal to ran freight cars by steam on the Belt Railroad. Colonel G, W. Wingate, Mr. Robert G. Cornell, Mr. Johu Mix and others made speeches in support of this sideof the argument. Additional arguments were made on the other side by Mr. I. F. Lees, Captain Snow and others, THE OPPOSITION AAGUMENT. Colonel Wingate appeared tor most of the property owners and lessees of premises on West street and ad- Joining thoroughfares. He charged that the Cheap ‘Trangportation Association was not infallible in their advocacy of this matter, All agreed that tne terminal facilities of the city should be increased, bat the plan proposed would not effect the desired result. The entire commerce and passenger traflc of tho city, except what passed over the Centre! Rail- road, crossed West und ;outh streets, and was Lelped or bindered as those streets were cleared or ob- structed, During the time steam was to be used on the Belt road sixty-tour passenger trains nightly ar- rived and leit Jersey Cuy, Auy celay in crossing West street would cause travellers to lose connections and endanger thoir lives. Every night durmg the winter 1,600 vehicles crossed tue Hudson, bringing wmilk und provisions for Lhe use of New York, and the number was doubled ‘n summer. Washington Market employed directly 3,000 men, and imdirecily 10,000, und received and distributed more provisions than any other market in the couniry. Around it were con- centrated the produce and provision trade, Every night the streets south of Canal street were crowded with market Wagons, ‘luis trade would be destroyed by the runing of freight cars on West street, The Brie Railroad, which transported as much freight as the Ceutral, delivered the balk of it tn this locality, The Pennsylvania; Delaware, Lackawanna and West. ern, and New Jersey Centra, tue Eustern avd other steamboat lines also received and delivered their freight along Wost strect, All these interests would be ipjurivusiy affected by the adoption of such a plan, From 1,500 (0 2,000 freight cars would be hauled over a railroad having but two tracks during each night. Mr, Wingate contended that it would be impogsibie to properly bundle such a large number of freight cara in the street without causing much incouvenience, He algo pointed out the great exponses that would be nec essarily creaied in the loading and unloading of ireight in this manner. [t would require the railroads and merchants to employ a double gagy of men and involve fourtold (he present expense of cartaze.* A MONOPOLY TO THK GRAND CENTRAL. ‘The effect would be to give a monopoly to the Cen- tral Railroad. “Not a single road coming in on the west side could use the privilege, 11 it was so important to connect ships and stores Why could uot the vessels go uptown The Central road had an elevator built ex- prossly nt Sixty-litth strect, Ir St. John’s Park were too lar distunt, why coald pot freignt be received on tloats on the eust side, as the Erie uid at Coenties stip, New York wanted broad and well-paved streets which would permit carting to be done at a minimum, A whole day was ircquently wasted in delivering a single jJoad at the Hudson River Railroad depot, Toe main in- jury to New York commerce was owing to the port ‘charges, the Custom House, and the discrimination in railroad rates that have existed agulnst the city. The entral Railroad had received $4,000,000 trom the city for the Fourth avenue improvements, which was as much for its own benetit as 11s present depot. WASHINGION MARKET INTERESTS. Mr. Robert G. Cornell also argued agalost the im- practicability of the measare. The yentlemun ap- Pp d as tho representative of the Washington Mai Ket interests, lie stated that the rupniog of tretght cars by night would destroy two-thirds of the business ol that market. There was po time within the twenty- four houre that thousands of dollars’ worth of property ‘was not carried away from this vicinity. Mr. John Mix also spoke as a representative from Washington Market in opposition to the plan. Ho was followed on the same side by Mr, 7 C. Kimball and Mr. J. J, Phelan. Additional arguments in favor of the schemo were then made by Mr, Thoodore F. Lees, Captain Ambrose Suow and others, alter which the commiitee a Journed until Monday next. A DARING BANK ROBBERY. The New York National Exchange Bank was robbed of $2,700 on Saturday, under circumstances of a somo- what remarkable charactor, About hall-past two o’clock in the afternoon a man respeciably dressed and having the appeuranco of a merchant walked into the little alleyway in front of the President’s desk, and taking a seat ona couch said that he desired to speak to the cashier, and apparently awaited the ap- pearance of that official, Shortly after this a boy, having*no coat on, and looking as if he had come in from # neighboring store, walked to the frontot the cushier’s desk and engaged bis attention by asking some question, Wuile the boy and the casuior wero wilking§ the man within the railing walked to the back of tie enclosed space, where the cashier's desk is placed, and the wire door, co: trary to rule, being opon, bo. grasped a packago ot five- dollar bills, amounting to $2,700, and returning tn the direction of the President’s desk, wa'ked out ot tho bank with them without being suspected. When the cashier had disposed of the boy’s inquiries he iurned round, and seeing the door open, looked for his bills and saw they were gone, Tho President, who was out at the time of the robbery, came 1a shortly afterward, and Idarning tho particulars, concluded thut the clerks were mistuken; that no robbery so bold as that could be perpetrated, and said that (hey were mistaken, and that when the bank was closed, after tour o’clock, they would, on balancing their cash, tlud that 1t was all right,” The baluncing, however, showed that they were not all right; that, on the contrary, $2,700 were gone. “Then we felt so mean,” said the President, “that ‘we thought we would say nothing about it.’’ BUSINESS TROUBLES, Register Ketchum has called the first meeting of tho creditors of George A.
