.. THE COURTS. Legal Perplexities Arising Out of the New Code. MARRYING A HOUSEKEEPER. Penalty of Not Holding a Court Receiver in Proper Estimation. - ‘The suit of Sarah Lyons against Magdaiena Murat and Albert J. Murat, the details of which have borcto- fore appeared in the Hemanp, came up betore Judge Donohue, in Supreme Vourt, Chambers, yesterday, in another torm, but one of intorest, as it revealed a question of regularity of practice under the new civil code of procedure passed by tho Legislature last wine ter, and under which, when the Court orders costs against a pariy, all bis proceedings aro stayed until the-costs are paid. On the 20th inst, F. 8. Hubn, at, torney tor the plaintiff, served a reply in each case to now matter contained 1u tho defendants’ auswers in this action, ‘The verilication to the reply was made by the plaintill’s uttorney, and not by her in porson, The replice were returned by George F. Lungbein, the utiorney tor the defendants, With the indorsement:—“The within alleged reply 18 hereby returned us an unverified “av on 14 does Bot conform in its Verification to sdction 525 of the Now York Code of vivil Procedure, and stutes no legal Feason why it is not made by the party, @ defendant elects, pursuant 10 section 526 of the New York Code of Civil Pragedure, to treat the same as @ pullity.”” My. Hahn theo obtained an order to show cause from Judge Donohue why the defendant should Uot accept service of the reply, aod contended that ag he did not know the whereubouts of his client durimg the day the verification was guflicient and the Court should compe! the Messré, Langvein to accept the same. J. G, Julius Lungbein appeared tn opposition nd stated that the only quostion was as to which party was regular in hus proceedings; that the plain- tifl had twenty days in which to serve ber reply, aud that she Was guilty of lacbes im waiting until the last day; that as thero was no proof tout sho was uot in the city om the last day, her counsel's remedy was to obtain time trom the Court if be could not Oud ber; that she bad already been mulcted in $20 costs upon two former motions made by her, which tho Court denied upon the ground of irregularity, and $10 costs upon another motion wuich the, Court bad denied upon the merits, Bou that until those $30 costs were paid her procoed- ings were stayed, He cited tho section of the pow code rolerred to providing that where costs of a mo- tion directed by an order tw be paid are not paid Within the time fixed for that purpose by the order, or, if no timo 1s go fixed, within ten days after service ot'a copy of tho oraer, ali proceodings on the part of the party required to pay them are stayea without further direction of the Court until tho He darn thereof, Mr. Hahn also moved to resettle tho furmor orders by striking out the $10 costs allowed to the defendanta in cach of them, Judge Donobue demed all the various motions, with costs, A SEPTUAGENERIAN'S THIRD WIFE.

SEETCH OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT—DOCTORS PLEDGED TO KILL AMONG THE CONSPIRA-= OR8—HOW MEN'S ESTATES WERK DISPOSED OF JUST BEYORE THEIR DEATH. (From the Kansas City (Mo.) Times, Oct, 12) Belore or about the time of tho arrival of Mr, Ham, of Kansas City, at Austin, tho Texas Legislature bad passed a bill granting certain subsidics in land sorip or land warrants to a supposed bond Jide company, which pledged itself to clean out, dredge and make navigavio the Sabine and the Natches rivers, This company was to receive $3,200 im State land scrip: for every mile of thoso rivers dredged and mado navigable. Soon alter the grant was’ made tho Land Commissioner of the State of Texas was applied to by tho company and the proper allidavits were made that jour or ive hundred miles of river bud beon dredged, cleaned and ‘made nuvigable, and (he company demanded and received ap enormous amount of land scrip, It was discovered sbortly alterward that a iraud had been perpeirated, aud that the company had vuly dredged aud cleaned ubout lorty miles of the rivers mentioned. The scrip was thou declared illegal and the Stato of Texas adver- tised st abroad as illegally issued, and prohivited the Jocation of auy public land to the Stute with this scrip, Phis land scrip, illegal or legal, could only be located on land outeide of the regularly orgauized counties in ‘Lexas, bat it could be so haudied that purchasers of the surip inthe North would never know this fuct until they went to T'oxas to locate tueir laud warrant scrip. The vnly land upon which this scrip could have been located, had it beou genuine, would have Leen far out on the “Staked Plains,” the hanting grounds of the Comanchos, Apacoes and Kiowas, 19 the bloody Pan-Handlo of Nortuwestora Texus, or ou the trontiors. of the Kio Grande, But us tho serip ‘was illegally issued 1t was worse than nothing, Ham came iu and gota lot of this semp.

There is little abatement in the excitement created by the arrest of Deacoo Ezra P. Smith and Mre. Mary Champlain, on the grave charge of conspiring to re- move by poison, or rather of having removed by pol- son, the wife of the former, whose death undor sus- picious circumstances was duly cbronicled in a pro vious letter to the Globe, The exhumation of the body, the chemiou! analysis by Professor Collyer, the dis coyery of unmistakable evidences of poison and the subsequent arrest of both the parties accused were also daly noticed at the time, go that these mattera have become the legitimate property of the public, and the various phases of this case have beon dis oussed in the clubs, hotels, church and family circles and by all classes of persons in Addison county, ‘There is at present no attempt made to deny the fact that the relations existing between Deacon Smith and Mrs, Champlain, doth betore and since the death of the Descon’s wife, were of a suspicious nature and matter of goveral discussion throughout this city, though there ts a wide diversity of opinion as to their actual guilt or participation in the death of Mrs, Smith, Very little 1s known of the dotatls of the case; in fact, notoing beyond what -was published in the Globe of October 5 and the despatches which fol- lowed, detailing the arrest of the suspected parties. Tho main charge is wilful murder, with the motivool a subsequent marriage between the pair, Mra, Cham. pain is regarded ns the prosecuting authorities ag ‘the perpetrator of the alleged crime, and Mr, Smith i¢ char; with collusion and conspiracy.

Champlain. 1t is also claimed thas he wus lully coguizant of the intent ang purpose of Mra, Champlain aud was aware, if the crime was really com! of 1ts porpetration, In support of these churges the govornmont will produce a series of letters written by both, which, 1+ 1s claimed, will eutubliah collusion beiore the act and a concerted effort alter the commission of the alleged murcer to shield each other and shut off all iovestigation. Ub wul also be claimed that Smith has contessed to an intimacy with the woman aud Dis intention to marry Mrs.Champlain ag soon us bis wife was out of the way. It should not be forgotten that Mrs, Champiain has a husband and four children living in New York State, from whom her alleged relations with Mr. Sith bave forever separated bor, She was a constant attendant at the bedside of Mra Smith during ber illness and usually administered what, medicine the sick woman took, A bottle containing poison, which is claimed tq have been 10 her possession, bas beon discovered, and Near the top of the next box of articles wag a frag- | should the body of the decensed coutain any nent of a Jeter, writton in & largofominiue band.
