. THE COURTS. / Important Decision of Judge Larremore * Relative to Commissions. A QUEER STOCK TRANSACTION, Friendly Beer Men in an Alleged Conspiracy. Judge Larremore yesterday rendered an important decision touching the law of sending and receiving foreign commissions fur the examination of wit- nesses in tho matter of the claim of Drexel, Harjes & Co., of Paris, against John Voght & Co., of this city, who failed some time ago. The claim grew out of several drafts made upon Drexel, Harjes & Co., aggregating some 45,000f., of which they claimed that they -have only been paid 14,991.35f. as a dividend in certain bankruptey pro- ceedings in France respecting portion of thé estate of Voght & Co. The case came before Judge Larre- more, in the Court of Common Plcas, on a motion to suppress a commission from this country to France for the examination of Mr. Harjes, on the ground of technical and substantial errors as to its execution and return. Tho-commission was issued 4n pursuance of an order dated on the 2istpf Febru- ary, 1879, entered on a stipulation which provided that it should be returned to Mr. Silas B. Brownell, the referee in tho case, at his office, in the city of New York. As a matter of fect the commission was flrected and returned to “Nathaniel Jarvis, Jr., Clerk of the Common Plees of the city and connty ‘of New York, care of Silas B. Brownell, Esq., Drexel Building, corner Wall and Broad strects, New York,” and was opened in presence of and delivered to the referee. There was an indorsement upon the commission that it should be returned as directed by the stipulation, but the indorsement was not signed by wpa ofthe court. Judge Larremore in decid- i © matter says that this was not necessary, forthe onder of February 21, 1878, prescribed to whom the commission should be directed. He* holds that sec- tion of the Code provides that the attorney for the party procuring the order may insert in the com- mission or indorse upon it the necessary directions for its execution and return according to the stipu- lation. It thus appears that the commission fm this case was not addressed and re- turned to the eon, named in the stipulation and order entered thereon. In this respect he thinks the proceedings are defective. After citing numerous ithorities Judge Latremore concludes as follows :— “The return was not made in the mode stipulated by the .attorncys, * * * end the authorities above referred to require a strict compliance with the stat- ate, The safer course should be adopted by sup- pressing the commission, and leaving the party obtain- Ing it to an application for its amendment, * * * or re-execution and return. Having reached this conclusion it is unnecessary to consider the remain- - tng objections urged upon argument. Motion granted, _ with costs to abide the event.” ' COMPLICATED STOCK TRANSACTIONS. " Richard J. Capron and W. W. Merriam brought a suit in the Court of Common Pleas, before Judge Lar- temore, against John R. Thompson, who was im- pleaded with others. Tho plaintiffs wero partners in business as bankers and stock brokers, under the firm name of Capron Merriam. The defondants were, as alloged in the complaint, also part- ners in the same business. The complaint ttates that between the 24th of November, 1873, and the Ist of April, 1874, tho, plaintiffs bought and sold for the defendants, at their request, a large - amount of gold and stocks on an agreement entered into between them, to the effect that the defendants should forthwith pay to the plaintiffs any and all losees which might be sustained by the plaintiffs on account of such sales. By snch agreement the sales were to be inade on the sole credit of the plaintifis, ‘the defendants at the same time agreeing to pay in- “terest dt tho rate of seven per cent, a commission of one-eighth of one per cent, on the value of stock and gold so be purchased by the de- fendante, and such additional commissions as should the plaintiff to-third persons in carrying the ptocks. On the 24th of April, 1874, as further appears by the ty eric all the stock and bates which the plaintitfs purchased for the de- fendants had been sold by the plaintiffs at it loss, and the latter claimed that there was justly due to ‘them on account of @uch purchases and sales, to- gether with their intorest and commissions, the sum of $790,374.99. They say they rendered a true account of all these transactions to the defend- ant, who admitted that the same was just and correct. The plaintifis admit that they at various times refeived from John B. ‘Thompson, one of the defendants, for and on th® defendants’ account, certain railway bonds as collateral security for the payment of such indebtedness. Of these bonds they state a portion was, with the consent of Thompson end os other defendants, sold and the swins re- on such sales applied to the pay- ment of the indebtedness. It was also claimed that» the market value of the remainder of these collaterals is uncertain and greatly less than the par value of the bonds, and that, furthermore, the sale of a'portion of them has been ‘already prevented by Thompson. The case being one involving a long account it was referred to Daniel P. Ingraham, the laintiff demanding judgment for as accounting and for such mount asthen might be found due him, with interest. The referee found in favor of the de- féendant, dixmissing the complaint as against him. There was argued before Judge Larremore, in the Court of Common Pleas, Special Term, yesterday, at great length on behalf of the defendant, a motion for an extra allowance. The Court took the papers, WILLIAM C. BARRETT'S TRANSACTIONS. Ii will be remembered that a few years ago William C. Barrett, thon the senior member of the firm of Barrett, Redfield & Hill, absconded with a large smount of funds committed to him by clients, In March, 1870, Messrs. William Thomas Thompson and William M. Ramsay instructed him to procure for them an investment of $20,000 which hey: had in tho Bank of British North America, Al the samo time Mrs. ner G. Halpine, widow’ of Charles G. Halpine, asked Barrett, as’ her legal adviser, to procure a loan for her on her house in Forty- seventh street, and fur this purpose she executel a mortgage to Thowpson & Rameay for $17,500, which she left with tt, and the latter received from Mr. Thompson @ draft for the amount on the Bank of British North Amorica, which its local agency paid by ® check on the Merchants’ National ik of Now York. Tho check was payable to the order of Mrs. Hal- gs and was delivered to Barrett, who received ent. Up to Mr. Barrett's flight, in 1876, he in- ‘terest. punetually to Th & Rumany. After this interest was demanded ‘Mrs. Halpine, and the declared her indorsement on the check to be a forgery. end that sho never received any of the money. Mra. Halpine thereupon brought suit against ent gon & Rameay, in the Supreme Court, to cancel mortgage, in which she was succcesful. Then Thom; son & Ramsay sued the Bank of British North Amer- ica, in the Superior Court, and got judgment for $17,500. Tho bank's a) | Seo was argued fore the Buperior Court, General Term, yesterday and decision ‘was reserved. ALLEGED ._BEER CONSPIRACY. In the year 1875 Maria Stock owned a beer saloon in Cortlandt strect which she was willing to sell for $1,200, Albert Mergle proposed to buy, and she says she agreed to sell and did sell it to him for that sum, he to pay her $200 cash, pay to John H. Moyer $226, which she owed him, $25 to a lawyer, and give her a chattel mortgage to secure the remaining $760, paya- ble at the rate of $75 a month. On these condi- tions she supposed the saloon changed hands, but in the third month default being made in the pay- ments she proposed to retake possession of the saloon, according to agreement, when she found, to her surprise, thet Meyer came forward as tho owner, learned tht Mergle, who was acquainted er, did not pay him the $225 which she sup- pam had, but, on the contrary, borrowed from ‘im the $225 which he paid to her and the lawyer, and gave hiry back,» mortgage on the place to secure the whole $900, This mortgage was tound on file in this county; while her mortgage was on file in Kings county. Eight days after the saloon was sold ont un- fer Moyer’s mortgage, and was bought in by him, The papers were drawn by Lawyer John Calahan, who, toyether with Myer, swore Mrs, Stock under- stood the arrangement, while that lady and her hus- band swore they did not, and if they had they would have been no such fools as to make it. Mrs, Stock brought through her uttorneys, Grant & Lydecker, eeuit against Mergle and Myer for conspiracy, alicg- dug damages in the sum of $1,000, This suit was tried in the Marine Court yesterday before Chict Jus: tice Alker and a jury, and resulted in a vordjct in favor of plaintiff for tho full amount claimed, AN EX-CONVICT’S VOTE. When Martin Smith, of No. 237 West ‘Thirteenth strect, went to vote in the Nineteenth Election district of the Seventh Assembly district he was challenged on the ground of being an ex-convict. He swore in his vote, stating that he had never been con- victed of any offence, Subsequent investigation showed ‘that Smith had served ao term of two years ond ovix months for burglary, and bat nover been yestored to citizenship. Ho was artesfed and indicted for illegal voting. When arraigned in Part 2 of the Court of Gen- eral Sessions yesterday the accused pleaded guilty and ‘was remanded for sentence. It appeared in his examination before the police judge Smith admitted having yoted, but w that he was not aware that he was doing wrong. waving voted last year unchal- lenged. The penalty for illegal voting is one year in the itentiary. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES.

Mott, who appeared for the defénce, examined witness, who proved that the complainant's wife had struck the prisoyer on the nose with a saucepan, and that he and the complain- ant then clinched, when the latter’s head came in con- tact with a window, and thereby he received the cuts which it was alleged had been inflicted with a knife. ‘The prisoner was sequitted.

A SUIT AGAINST COMMODORE GARRISON GRow- ING OUT OF THE SALE OF THE PACIFIC RAIL- ROAD OF MISSOURI—ARGUMENT ON DEMURREB TO THE COMPLAINT—JUDGE SPEIR RESERVES HIS DECISION, Peter Morié, Frank A. Otis, George Fearing, N. A. Cowdrey, Robert L. Cutting, Jr., and Jacob Cromwell have commenced a suit in the Superior Court to re- cover from Cornelius K.Garrison and John T. Denny the round sum, of $3,000,000. The suit grows out of the circumstances attending the sale of the Pacific Railroad of Missouri. cd . THE COMPLAINT. In their complaint, made by Messrs. Tremain and Tyler as their attorneys, the plaintiffs allege that they were holders, either in their own right or in trust for others, with full power of disposition, of 36,000 shares of the stock of Pacific Missouri, amonnt- ing in the aggregate to $3,600,000. Ihe defendant Garrison at the same time held a majority of the bonds, amounting to $2,200,000 out of an -issue of $4,000,000 of bonds known as third mortgage bonds. finch bonds were of doubtful validity as a mortgage security, or as 2 valid obligation against the road, it Deing claimed by the stockholders that said bonds were collusive and fraudulent, and that the mortgage given to secure the payment of the same was un- authorized, the stockhol never having consented thereto, as required by the laws of Missouri, and they were got up fraudulently by the then directors of the road. Mr. Garrison claimed, the complainant con- tinues, that there was then past due two semi-annual coupons for interest upon the bonds, and was s0- licitous to get the bonds adjudicated as valid. A COLLUSIVE SUIT. For that purpose a collusive suit. in the interest of Garrison and those associated with: him had been commenced in November, 1875, by George E. Ketchum to foreclose the mortgage, in which Garrison was ad- mitted a coplaintiff a year later, and in the same suit some of the plaintiffs filed a petition to be made par- ties defendant on their own behalf and that of all other stockholders. After describing the road, its ex- tent, and earnings, the complainant further proceeds to allege that in March, 1876, Mr. Garrison, in order to get rid of plaintiffs’ opposition to the foreclosure, jointly with his codefendant, Mr. iy, entered into an agreement with plaintiffs that in the event of a sale of tho road under foreclosure, and he (Garrison) should become the purchaser thereof, he would cong vey the road if at any time within six months from the date of such purchase plaintiffs should organize a successor company under the laws of Missouri, and such company pay to him all money, with interest, from the date of payment, which he might have ex- pended in procuring or making good the title to said Tailroud, and shall further pay all sums expended up to the date of such purchase in the cars and running of the road over and above the income. Such con- veyance would be made to this new company, and it would thereupon issuo thirty years’ bogds for $4,600,000, such bonds to be secured by a mo: eon the franchises of the road, of which $2,431,000 were to be delivered to him or those he represented in ex- change for old bonds and the remainder to be ex- changed for other old third mortgage bonds, or be sold on -available terms. This agreement, plaintiffs claim, was made on the representations that Garri- son was able to buy in said road, and they with- drew their opposition to the sale. At - the sale James Baker bid in the road for $3,000,000, a por- tion of which he puid in third mortgage bonds, the remainder being secured by Mr. Garrison, Mr. Churles Choateau and D. A. Mangam. Garrison, a alleged, farnished most of the means for the pufchase, and Beker received $25,000 for his’ services. Baker then, as further alleged, organized the Missouri Pacitic Railroad Company and Mr. Garrison was elected presi- dent. nclusion, plaintiffs allege that Mr. Garri- son has failed to carry out his contract to exchange the bonds of the new company for the old bonds held by the plaintiff, and hence their demand to recoyer $8,600,000, the value of such bonds held by them. DEMURRING TO THI! COMPLAINT. ‘To this complaint Mr. Garrison, through his coun- sel, Mr. Edward L. Andrews, interposed a demurrer op the grounds:—(1), That it does not state facts suf- fidient to constitute a cause of action against defend- ant; (2) that it does not appear from the complaint that the plaintiffs, or either of them, have the legal capacity to sue the defendant, inasmuch as there is no acount in said complaint showing whether plaintiffs sue in their own right or in trust for others, and no pe Fis shown for suing in trast for others, and no specific interest in the matters complained of is shown to exist in the plaintiffs or either of them, so that it docs not appear that the plaintiffs have any authority or capacity to sue this defendant, either for themselves or in trust for others; (3) that there is a misjoitMer of parties plaintiff, inasmuch as it does not appear from said complaint that the . plaintiffs have any joint cause of action or any right which authorizes them to unite therein, and said complainant further fails to show any state of fects such as to authorize the uniting of the plainti’ Jacob Cromwell with the other plaintiffs named th the complaint; (4) that there is a defect of parties plaintiff in the case, inasmuch us if said complaint is to be construed as averrin; that persons other than the plaintiffs and tho defend. ant Denny are in ed, or beneficiarics in the premises and agreements sued on, and if any joint Tight of action is shown or av in said complaint, then a ager Ngee tere tl ; ye: are neces- sary ies plaintiff in this suit, it not appearin, that plaintiifs have any right to sue in their behalf oe to represent them in this suit. ARGUMENT BEFORE JUDGE sVEin. This demurrer came up for argument yesterday be- fore Judge Speir, holding Special Term of the Supe- rior ‘Court, and was argued at great. length, Messrs. Henry L. Clinton and Edward L. Andrews appearing in favor of the defendants and William A. Beach and Mr. Tyler in opposition. Mr. Cliuton, whé opened tue argument, contended that the complaint did not show any contract, and, consequently, did not show any breach of contract.” He also contended that the plaintiils in the complaint do not show any perform- ance or any offer to perform, nor any excuse for not performing the conditions upon which it is pretended the delivery of the stock to the defendant was made. He also maintained that in the complaint no contract and no breach had been disclosed; that the plaintiffs had not shown that they had any right to issue; that there was also a misjoinder of the parties plaintiff; that there were qther parties in interest; that the complaint was ue, uncertain and fatally defective, and that the demurrer should be sustained. © Mr, William A. Beach, on tho contrary, contended that a full and complete cause of action wea set forth in the complaint. He discussed the case at consider- able length. The ment occupied nearly the whole day. At its close the Judge took the papers and reserved his decision. . “HE ARE GUILTY!” They were both black, but he was very black. Letta Booker was her name and she wore a man’s hat. Henry was sable and eloquent. “You t Letia, Henry Lewis ?” said Judge Mor- gan yes ° “No, sah! No, sahé Suah!” emphatically re- sponded Lewis, with a wave of his rigit hand. “He are guilty, Jedge! He are guilty !” exclaimed Letta in loud and assuring accents, “That settles it,” said His Menor, who added, how- ever, ‘‘But let us hear what Henry has to x aro guilty | He are guilty, Jedge 1” roinsinted Letta. “Hush, ma’am, for one moment!” interposed the Court. OnHe are guilty! ho are guilty!” continued Lotta, sotto voce. “Will you be quiet?” demanded the Jndge. “He are guilty!” sho whispered, and then quietly attempted to é her head on a reporter's shoulder, exclaiming, ‘'T'll wait beab, fo’ he are guilty!” ‘Now, ‘Jedge, I live with dat ‘oman four months——” “Fo! do Lor’, he are guilty!” interposed Letta, in fn undertone. “and she done gone behave onsecmby with anudder man, You ‘Onah!’’” “He aro guilty!

Commissioners Morgan and King, @ committe appointed to report on the question of m salary for the Presitent of the Bourd, stated that they bad investigated the accounts for the presont year, and fitding that of the $1,600 allowed by law for all expenses $1,457 84 have already been expended they were unwilling to recom: mend any appropriation for @ salary for the presi- dent at present. President Wilson said that after Mr. Blunt's retire- ment the Board requested him to accept the presi- dency, but he refused; he was urged to do so, and finally consented, but gave the members to under- stand that he would expect be remunerated, Com- missioner Ferris wanted to know if the secrefary had any right to draw money from the Board without the signature of the President? The secretary replied that the bylaws gave pim that power. Com- missioner Luce thought that all this discussion was because the secretury had been allowed a salary of $1,000 a year, He claimed that the services ren- dered by the secretary were worth that amount, and, after saying that the discussion was simply a waste of time, he moved that the report of the committee be accepted, which was accordingly done. ‘The treasurer then presented his report up to date, which showed the receipts for the it year to have been $1,881 71, and the disbursements $1,105 07.

Loses A “BUCKET SHOP"—¥XCITEMENT AMONG THE SMALL SPECULATORS, Great excitement was created among the speculators in'small lots of stock in Wall strect*yesterday morn- ing by the announcement that Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, had granted an injunction, on the ap- plication of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company, restraining E. W. Todd & Co., of No. 44 Broad street, the managers of the largest “bucket shop” in the city, from exhibiting on their bulletin boards the quotations coming over the company’s instruments. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock this public stock exchange was crowded by from two to three hundred speculators, buying and selling and loudly discussing the probable riso and fall of stocks, when a sudden hush was put to the noise by the appearance of Mr. Todd, the proprietor, who held in his hand the in- junction, which he said had just been served upon him. Mr. Todd, after reading the injunction aloud, informed his customers that ho would be obliged to suspend business, Great indignation was expressed, and the order of Judge Donohue was denounced on ali sides. WHAT MR. TODD HAS TO SAY. Later in the day Mr. Todd informed s reporter of the Heraxp that it was not the Gold and Stoek Telegraph Company which was prosecuting his firm but the heav: brokers of the Stock Exchange, who had become jeal- ous of his fast increasing popularity. He said that some six months ago his firm obtained an injunction froim Judge Donohue restraining the Gold and Stock ‘Telegraph Company from discontinuing serving them with the stock quotations. His .firm was ready for the hearing Ho go on ately, but at the request of the counsel to the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company it was post- poned from time to time until at last the hearing yW the injunction was set down for November 18, On Monday last they received information that the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company were about to remove their instruments from his place of business, and he immediately applied for and obtained an in- Junction from Judge Prait, of Brooklyn, restraining the company from removing the in tors before January 1. The members of the Stock Exchange, who were spoken to on the subject, were unanimous in their opinion that all ‘bucket shops”’ should be closed, but the small brokers and speculators on the strect de- nounced it as an outrage. ‘November 22 is set down by: Judge Donohue as the day on which argument will be hoard in the case. immedi- THE HALL WILL CONTEST. A farther hearing was had in the contested will case of Mary G. Baker Hall, yesterday, before Surro- gate Calvin. Medical testimony was given to show that the testatrix suffered from paralysis, and that she was affected mentally’some tiine before her death. Sarah Connolly, a young woman, who acted as a |,servant in the houso of the Halls, said:—I was living with Mrs. Hall at the time of her marriage to Dr. Hall, in November, 1876; they lived in Seventy-first street; there was something peculiar about the mar- riage, for'I did not know of it at the time it took place; Ihave seen the Doctor throw a slipper at his ‘wife at the dinner table, and scatter the soup all over her; in Seventy-first street, when the carpenters and kalsominers were there, Dr. Hall told the mea to sit down at table to dinner, and made his wife sit down with them; we afterward went to live at Derby, Conn., with his mother, and there the Doctor was very cruel to his wife; I left the employment of tho Docto# because I could'nt Cd Se ey; he owed me $49 50; I went to Derby in May and he gave mo an order on ¥, Halleck, No. 1,126 Fourth avenue, and when. I went there it was an empty lot, and the Hal- lecks were hot known; I afterward got the money from him; I have heerd the testatrix say that Dr. Hall would take all the money from her and would not allow her to useit. . Helen Connolly, a sister of the last witness, cor- roborated most of this testimony, and added that Mrs. Hall had told her (witness) at Derby that she was afraid of Dr. Hall. ‘The inquiry was adjourned to Saturday, January ¢. A HOPELESS CASE. “Why did you steal this man’s pantaloons, John Duffy ”’ queried Judge Morgan of the young blesr- eyed fellow standing at the bar yesterday, in Jeffer- son Market Police Court. “Yer Honor, I want to go tothe Island. Sénd ino there if you please. I've been ona terrible drunk for over a month, sir, and I can’t get off of it. Send me to the Island, if you please, Judge. I’m a hopeless case,” said the prisoner, and a tear actually glistencd in his eye. “Well, IT] do what I can to accommodate you, John. You are held in $300 to answer for the thet,” said the Judge. See “HEATING STREET CARS, A method of heating street cars was tosted on the Third avenue line yesterday with good results. Car No, 153 had been fitted up with the apparatus and made several trips during the day, carrying passen- gers in the ordinary way. As none of them expected & warm and comfortable car the surprise of some was very great, but the majority accepted the situa- tion .as & mere matter of course. Some, indeed, seemed unaware of the fact that anything had been done for their comfort, which is not so surprising when it is stated that the heating apparatus might pe observation altogether. It consists of two reservoirs, one on each side of the car, near the mid- dle, from which an ordinary steam pipe extends around the car. The reservoirs are intended to contain steam or water heated by steam. In the experimental trip yesterday hot water was used, and although the trips on the Third avenue road are long ones aneven tem- perature of about: sixty degrees was maintained throughout the whole journey, which on the first trip was only two hours. The inventor @laims that the cost of heating each car will not exceed two ceuts per,day, RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. An exciting runaway accident was witnessed in Newark yesterday. A butcher boy named Adolph Wessnor, employed by A. Fufar, of Centre Market, started his horse and wagon near the City Hall, on Broad street, and then attempted to jump to the weat. He missed his hold and fell, hanging. on to tho shaft. Away went the horse at abreack-neck pace, frightened by Adolph’s fall, In Kall ang horse wagon and driver tore down Broad street. Turning into Williain strect the run- . away dashed into a horse standing still and tore it out of ite wagon shafts. Jy the wagon sat a indy, but neither sho nor the vehicle — suffered any injury. On the runaway went, and cyo wit- nesses thought the boy must surely be killed. A laborer sprang into .the street and tried ‘to stop the wild steed, but was hurled to one side go the cobble stones, and on dashed the animal, the boy still clinging to the shafts. At length h: let go, and@ was dashed with great force against the stones, Another collision followed, with the wrevk- ing of the wagon and the capture of the horse. The butcher boy was picked up by the police and removed to his home, ‘No. 9 Springfleld avenue, His injuries are severe, but, it is believed, not fatal.

To tHe Eprror oF THE HERALD:— ‘The Brooklyn Annex connecting with the New Jer- sey Central Railroad needs attention if it wishes to obtain the confidence of the public. - Last Saturday afternoon the boat which leaves Brooklyn at ten min- utes to five o'cldck did not leave on time by over five minutes or more, and, while the captain declared he would reach the Jersey depot to connect with the trains which leaye on the arrival of the five o'clock ferrybont from New York, missed the train, to the great discoinfort of a number of 1: passengers. ‘The boat would have connected with the train if it had béen prompt in pe Brooklyn.

These parties are all nativos of Rus- sia, and arrived on the steamship Kron Prinz Fred- erick Wilhelm direct from Brazil.

Dortawoiler says he refased to go any further, because, on examina- tion, he was satisfied that the ground, which consisted of prairie land, would be a poor place for scttlement. He claimed that cattle cor not be fed there, and that all provisions had to be brought from the seaport.
