THE COURTS. Legal Determination of a Completed Trust. THE LOANERS’ B. K FAILURE . mportant Contest Regarding a Harbor Master's Rights. ‘The Court of Appeals has just rendered an impor- tant decision in the case of Abby 8, Martin against Edward Finck and another. “The action was tried originally before Judge Larremore, in Equity Term of the Supreme Court, and the tacts were briefly as follows:—Mas. Boone, at the time an elderly lady, de- posited in the Citizens’ Savings Bank $500, declaring that she wanted the account to be in trust for Lillie Willard. The account was so entered and a passbook delivered to Mrs. @oone, which contained these en- tries, “The Citizens’ Savings Bank, in account with Susan Boone, in trust for Lillie Willard, 1866. March 23, $500." A deposit of the same amount and in the same manner was made in trust for Kate Willard, now Mre. Brown. This money belonged to Mrs. Boone at the time of the deposit. The plaintiff and Mrs. Brown are sisters, and were at the time the de- posit was made eighteen and twenty years of age ro- spectively, and were distant relatives of Mrs. Boone. ‘The latter retained possession of the passbooks until her death in 1875, and the plaintiff and hersister were ignorant of the deposits until after that event. The money remained in the bank with its accumulated interest until the death of Mrs. Boone. Mrs.*Brown assigned to the plaintiff her interest in the deposit purporting to have been mado for her benefit, and this action was brought Aapins the administrator of Mr#, Boone and the ‘or the delivery of the pass- books and the recovery of the money. The Court of Appeals, Chief Justice Church writing the opinion, rms the judgment of Judge Larremore at Equity Term. In his opinion Judge Church says that the question involved has been a much litigated one, and it is clear that a person, sui jures, acting freely and without knowledge, has the power to make a yolun- tary gift of a part or the whole of his property, while it is well settled that a mere intention whether ex- pressed or not is not sufficient. The act constitutin; the transfer must consummated — afd not remain incomplete. The contention of the defendant is that the transaction did not transfer the property, and that there was no sufticient declaration of trust, and that by retaining the passbooks Mrs. Boone never parted with the con- trol of the property. If what she did was sufficient to constitute herself a trustee it must follow that whatever control she retained would be exercised as trustee, and the right to exercise it would not be necessarily inconsistent with the completeness of the trust. Judge Church cites numerous decisions of the courts in analagous cases, which he says, although not controlling on the Court of Appeals, are entitled to respect, and show the tendency of the judicial mind to give these transactions the effect which on their face they import. If there is a valid declaration of trust that is sufficient to trausfer the title, but the difficulty is in determining what constitutes such a declaration. Judge Church, in conclusion, hoids that under all the circumstances of the case a valid and complete trust was established, and that there are very many cases besides this where the in- strument creating the trust has been retained by the author of it until his death, especially when he made himself the trustee. To be sure, a trustee should do all in his power to carry out the instructions of the trust; but this is not absolut indispensable, an@ as notice to the cestui que tr ‘was uot necessary, and as the retention of the passbooks was uot incon- sistent with the completeness of the act, the case is peculiarly one to be determined by this test—Did the intestate constitute herself a trustee? This question Judge Church answers in the affirmative, and concludes, from the evidence adduced, that it is fairly inferable that the intestate designed that the pape and her sister should have the benefit of hese deposits. He therefore afirms the judgment of Judge Larremore, in which all concur. MEMENTO OF THE RING REGIME. In the suit brought by John F. Bissell against Dow Russell, which has been on trial for several days past in the Supreme Court, before Judge Donohue and a jury, the plaintiff, a Chenango county farmer, claims that Dow Russell, president of the Loancrs’ Bank, in- duced him, by false representations that the bank was sound, not only to deposit his ‘money in the bank, but to buy $5,000 worth of its stock, He claims $15,000 damages for deceit apd fraud, because the bank was insolvent and its stock utterly worthless. It is alleged that the bank had not been paying ex- penses for segeral years, as wag shown by the testi- mony from its books, and was. not in @ condition to declare dividends when the dividends were declared; that its stock, represented in the statements to be forty per cent paid up, was not so paid up; that inst of @ surplus of $60,000, as repre- sented by the president in October, 1875, there was an actual deficiency of over $300,000, that this deficiency had been wowing for several years, and that wnen the bank failed in May, 1876, it was over $525,000. There was evidence that notwithstanding this condition of things the presi- dent was soliciting deposits during the last few months of the bank’s existence, aud actually received them from pe gee besides the plaintiff; that he circulated fo! statements of the bank’s re- sources in which loans more than two years overdue and uncollectable were as available assets, whereas such collaterals were worthless, and that in- stead of $200,000 paid up out of a@ capital of $500,000, as represented, only a little over $100,000 ‘was ever paid into the bank for its stock. This bank, as is well known, was chartered duriug the Tweed Ring days, with # special charter giving it extensive powers to receive more than the leyal rate of interest. and to do the business of a bank, pawnbroker or safe deposit company. Its original stockholders comprised William M. Tweed, James J. Pierce, H. W. Genet and Thomas J. Creamer, all State Senators about the time its charter was obtained, together with the defendants Dow Russell, Gideon Lee Knapp, J. B. Leverich and E. F, Brown. It commenced busi- ness im 1871 and failed in 1876. Its receiver has as yet declared no dividend, and none is expected exceeding five cents on’ the dollar, and even this the receiver yet wnable to’ pay. The case awakened considerable interest in Chenango county, where the plaintiff and many of the parties in interest reside, and was prosecuted by Mi. i. A. Stanton, ex-District Attorney of that county, asso- ciated with Mr. H. E. Tremain. In opening defend. ant’s case Mr. Robert Sewell said that the false representations were denied, and that the defendant insisted that he acted in good faith, while the plain- tiff acted only on his own judgment in depositing his money and buying the stuck, and that Mr. Kus- sell’s intentions were innocent. The trial has be attended by many of the depositors or their lawyers who have Jost money in 4 similar way, and seems to have n a ‘st of the personal reeponsi- bility of the president of the bank for many of its transactions. The trial terminated yesterday in a verdict for $6,108 for the plaintiff. HARBOR MASTERS’ AUTHORITY. John Stillwagon is pilot of the steamboat J. B. Schuyler, which prior to the 9th of June, 1878, had been making landings at pier 55 Kast River. About that time Harbor Master James M. Thompson as signed to the J. B. Schuyler accommodations at pier 67, and finding her making a landing at pier 65 or- dered her to pier 57, to which, it ix alleged, he re- ceived a response trom the deck of the J. B, Schuyler to the effect that he might go to the infernal regions, or words to that effect. Tue Harbor Master then tempted fo compel the removal of the boat, whic! tempt was resisted and forcibly opposed by the cay tain. For tius act of disobedience of the Harbor ter’s orders it is claimed Captain Stillwagon became liable to forfeit $60 under the provisions of section 5 of chapter 487 of the Laws of the State of New York, ues in tho year 1862, To recover this sum, Edward . Tinker, in of the Port of New York, brought a suit in the Marine Court, which came to trial yesterday before a jmy, the plaintiff bein: represented by Messts. Beebe, Wileox & Hobb, aad the defendant by Mr. W. H. McDougall. The defence ‘was an objection to the jurisdiction ot the Court as well a8 @ general denial of the alleged facts on which the suit was based. ‘The story on the part of the de- fondant was that for over thirty years pier 65 hus been used as a landing for passenger boats on the East River, for which rent was paid to the city; thatot the time of the transaction there were ten or twelve passenger boats accustomed to make landings at that ier, and that the plea for the removal of tho Schuy- ler, to the effect that she interfered with the regular landings of the Grand street ferryboats was without foundation. All the evidence being in, Mr. McDougull, ow the part of the defendant, moyed to dismiss the complaint on the ground that no such authority as that claimed by harbor masters in this case was con- ferred upon them by statute, and if such authority had been conferred, then the act was unconstitu- tional. Judge McAdam said he would give the re- apective counsel until Monday next to put in briefs, and he would take the case under covsideration be fore deciding it. This is the first suit which has orisen under this statute, and the result will be of im- portance as defining the authority of harbor masters, INSURANCE LITIGATION. Abraham L. Batterson in a suit brought by him against Samuel T, W. Sanford, claims that ho was @ policy holder in the Mutual Protection Life Insurance Company, and as such paid a large eum of money for premiums upon his life, the defendant at the same time being a stockholder, director, vice president and dreasurer of the company, ‘The plaintiff says that in NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, -1878—TRIPLE SHEET. |. 1872 the company had accumulated a large amount of assets and had a large number of policy holders; that the company and its officers were trustees for the plaintiff and its other policy holders and held its as- sets exclusively in trust for them; that, after pay- meént of the premiums and while the plaintiff's policy was in full force, the corporation, whose name had in the meantime been changed to “The Reserve Mutual Life Insurance Company,” was iilegally and fraudulently sold out to ancther cor. poration, known as the Guardian Mutual Lite Insurance Company, and its business patronage and assets amalgamated with that com- pany, whereby pluintift’s policy became wholly worthless, and that such unlawful disposition of the assets was participated im by the defendant. For these reasons the plaintiff demands judgment for the amount of his premiums alremly paid, with interest, together with the extra cost of future insurance, by reason of his advanced age. The defendant denies that he took part in ox was privy to any unlawful conspiracy, or that the plaintiff's policy has been destroyed by such act of the Cae or its value in any degree impaired. Upon application on behalf of the plaintiff Judge Freedmun, ot the Superior Court, yesterday granted an order for the examination of the defendant before trial. touching certain matters alleged to be peculiarly within the knowledge of the defendant. A “SCHOOL MARM’S” QUARREL. Acurious suit, brought by Elizabeth Foley against Ellen F. Holly, came to trial yesterday before Judge Sedgwick, holding Superior Court, Trial Term. From the facts as stated in the opening it seems that the plaintiff was an assistant teacher in Primary School No. 31, in the Eleventh ward, of which the defendant was principal. The latter, as alloged, preferred charges to the trustees against the plaintiff for hav- ing made false returns as to the average attendance of pupils. Upon this charge, which she says was false and malicious, she was dismissed by the trustees and her appeal to the Board of Education was also decided against her. She accordingly bronght this suit against the defendant to recover damages tor the alleged libel. ‘The defendant denied malice, and says she did what she thought was for the best. Ex-Judge Cardozo, who appeared for the defendant, raised the point that the complaint was detective, inasmuch as it failed to state that the charge was made without robable cause. Judge Sedgwick sustained this ob- jection, but allowed the plaintif’s counsel, Mr. Shook, to amend upon payment of costs. This being consented to the trial ‘was proceeded with, and wi be resumed this morning. SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. Judge Davis yesterday, in Supreme Court, Cham- bers, granted a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Joseph H. Hoar, the facts as to whose arrest and im- prisonment have already been published, The writ was made returnable this morning. Michael Connor, whose trial has been proceeding béfore Judge Benedict and a jury in the United States Circuit Court since Friday last, and who is charged with putting in circulation counterfeit money, was yesterday found guilty and remanded for sentence. The Grand Jury yesterday found an indictment against Antonio Spagnolo, who is charged with the anurder of Charles Drake, on East Broadway, with a large knife. The prisoner, who is indicted for mur- der in the first , will be arraigned to-day in the Court of General Sessions before Judge Gildersleeve. In the case of Charles W. Pontez, alleged to be im- plicated’ in the $64,000 check forgery on the Union ‘Trust Company, and which was set down for retrial in the Court of er and ‘Termiuer, the certificates of Drs. White and Noll, of Harlem, that he was physi- cally unable to endure at present the strain of 4 sec- ond trial were yesterday submitted to Judge Daniels. District Attorney Phelps desired a fuller investiga- tion, and on his application he was permitted to send two physicians of his own selection to examine Pontes and ort on his condition to-day. Judge Van Vorst yesterday overruled a demurrer interposed in the suit brought by William A. Cole- man against Anna B, Phelps and others. The plain- tiff claims that his father, who is now dead, caused him to sign @ deed disposing of his rights to his grundfather’s estute. He now sues his sister and the surviving trustee to set aside this deed and to compel his stepmother, as udministratrix of his father, to account to him for the income of the deeded prop- erty. Mary Adeline Hoyt and William Hoyt were mar- ried at Brooklyn on the 18th of March, 1877, by the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, a Baptist clergyman. Mrs. Hoyt has since brought a suit for absolute diforce against her husband on a charge of adultery. She states in hercomplaint, among other things, that from November 6, 1873, until November 15, 1878, her hus- band, under the name of William Johnson, lived with a woman known as Mrs, Paine in adulterous in- tercourse in Allen street. There being no answer yet put in Judge Van Hoesen yesterday ordered a refer- ence to John E. Hayes. Joseph Baker, jas Burns, who, it is said, made such a day. attempt yesterday to rescue John lias Leary, When the latter, in custod, leaving Jefferson Market Prison, an: pon arrested, was taken yest be- fore Judge Gildersleeve on an old complaint mags him with berg a clock valued at $35, on which occasion he was admitted to bail in $500, He pleaded not guilty. He will, in all probability, be indicted to- day by the Grand ba the attempted rescue of Leary, so that he will have to answer for two offences. On the 25th ot July last George . Randolph wrote aletter from the Astor House to William Simpson, Pk (eg) at No. 27 Chatham street, de om him $1,500 to compensate him, as alleyed, for his broken home, or giving him the alternative of being shot on sight. Mr. simpson did not give him the money, but had Randolph arrested on a charge ot blackmailing, for which he was indicted by the Grand Jury. The case was called in Part 1 of the Court of General Sessions, but the accused did not put in an appearance. His bail of $3,000, which was given by Charles Merkle, was forteited. vi The money drawer of Willard Clase, whe kept a candy store on Eighth avenue, was broken open on the 13th ot November last and $3275 in money stolen. Mr, William Jackson, one of the witnesses in the well known Jacksou-Hunt suit was arrested on sus- picion and taken before Judge Morgau. Here, how- ever, he proved his identity as @ respectable*painter and showed that at the time of the robbery he was in the company of a respectable brewer, and was there- fore discharged. He sued Chase for $2,000 damages for false imprisonment. The case was tried before Judge McAdam, yesterday, in the Marine Court, and resulted in a verdict for the defendant, COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.

MGLORY'S SALOON. DECLARED TO BE A DANCE HOUSE AND THE RE- SORT OF DISREPUTABLE PERSONS, ‘The complaint against John Flynn, under cover of whose license it is alleged William McGlory keeps the saloon in the Bowery, came on for a hearing before the Board of Excise yesterday. MecGlory did not put in an appearance, but Flynn was present to defend his rights. Several policemen testified to the character of. McGlory’s place as the ro- sort of thieves aud improper characters. Officer Madden characterized the place as a barroom and dance house, and testified that he had arrested two women there. “Do you know anything about the women who go there ?” asked Mr. Mott, Flynn’s lawyer. ‘I know-a good deal about them,” answered the witness contidently. Officer Hughes said he knew some of the men who trequent the place, and pointed out .one of them in the room. “I have business there,” said the man, not waiting for his turn to testity. At this there was buzz, but the promise of a little excitement was immediately suppressed, Officer Quigley arrested a woman there for robbery and said he has seen her there since her arrest. He was sure Flynn knew ot her arrest. He has seen | Flynn in the place and knew he was connected with itin some way. Quigley testified to the dancing, singing and profanity which he saw and heard in the One or two other witnesses were examined, and then Sergeant Webb said that an important witness, who had twice arrested McGlory, was ill, and asked for an adjournment. This was granted and the case went over till Friday. THE EXCISE EXAMINATION. Another long hearing in the case of the Society for the Prevention of Crime against the Excise Commis- sioners was had in the examination room of the ‘Tombs Police Court yesterday morning before Judge Kilbreth, The Commissioners are charged with un lawfully issuing a license to the firm of Byrnes & White, proprietors of a saloon in West Houston street, The strongest points made in the complaint are that Byrnes is not # man of good moral character; that his place is @ resort for bad characters, and that the Commissioners hud been notified by Cap- tain McDonnell that the house was one of bad repute aud ought not to be licensed. Ona former occasion Commissioner Morrison testified that the Captain had never spoken to him on the subject, Yesterday Com- inissioner Merkle in his examination stated that Cap- tain McDounell had spoken to him in an informal way about Byrnes & White's place, but made no pro- test, as he claimed he did, against the granting of the license. A number of reputable witnesses testified to the good character of Byrnes and to the fact that his house is a-respectable one. ‘The witnesses are business men und residents of the im- mediate neighborhood in which the place is. Mr. Byrnes was put upon the stand and testified as follows :—'*My piace of business is No. 19 West Hous- ton street; I remember having made an applicatian to the Board for a license, and paid $75; 1 asked to have money previously deposited refunded to me; 1 know Captain MeDonpell; he has never warned me about persons visiting my house; 1 was arrested on the 1ith of September last; I asked him why he bothered ie more than any other person in the ward; he said, ‘I wiil drive you up town, where you belong; lama captain of police, and I will fix you;’ he brought me to the station house aud told the officer (Sheridan) to fire me down stairs; i was put in @ cell; a week oe I made a complaint the Police Commis- ners.’” ‘The detenco here rested, and Jndge Kilbreth prom- ised to render a decision on Saturday next. TEUTONIA SAVINGS BANK. The cxemination of the complaint of certain de- positors of tho defunct Teutonia Savings Bank egainst John Schenermana aud Michael Hahn re- spectively its lato president aud weereiary, was post- pone in the Fittyseventh Street Court yesterday until next Saturday. Justice Flammer said that Act- ing Superintendent Lamb, of the State Banking De- partment, declined to produce before the Court the Originals of the returus made by the ofttcors of the bank, upon which this action for perjury is base giving us a reason for so declining that it is tuisdemeanor to remove ‘rom the department papers once filed there, and that they can be taken from Albany only upon an order made by the Supreme court. The magistrate added that if this, were the case it will be necessary to remove: the action against the accused officers to the Court of Oyer and ‘Termi- ner, which is presided over by a Judge of the Sn- preme Court, who can compei the production of the papers and the attendance of witnesses trom another county. DR. HAWKER'S SENTENCE AFFIRMED, General Isaac Gatlin, District Attorney of Kings county, received a telegram from Albany yesterday which set forth that the conviction of Dr. Benjamin ‘W. Hawker, alias West, alias Perry, had been af- firmed by the Court of Appeals. Dr. Hawker was in dicted in Kings conuty February 5, 1878, for mal practice on Aiuelia Hyde, of No. i34 Third street, Will iamsburg. On the lst of March following he was tried and convicted before Judge Moore, in the Court of Sessions. On the 6th of the same month he was sentenced to a term of teu years in the Penitentiary, where he is at the present time. BROOKLYN'S BALLOT BOX KEYS, Captain L. Worth, of the Sixth precinct; Captain Cornelius Woglom, Fifth precinct; Captain John Riley, Tweifth precinct; Sergeant John Fielding, Sev- enth precinct, and Koundsman George Nicholson, Sixth precinct, were on trial before the Police Com- Diissioners of Brooklyn yexterday for conduct unbe- coming officers, which charge yrew out of the state- meat lately made by Martin Taylor, to the effect that he had secured keys to the ballot boxes of the city.

An alarm of fire early yesterday morning brought the whole available fire force of the upper district to the corset factory of Morris Cohen, Nos. 214, 216, 218, 220 and 222 West Twenty-sixth strect. When the en- gines got fairly to work the flames were pouring out of the windows of the building, and Chief Bates sent out a second and third alarm. For a while it seemed as though the flames would sweep the whole building, and then a scene of reat = excitement | was witnessed in the adjoining tenements. The panic-stricken ‘inmates were about to remove what little valitables they could in spite of the in- tarference of the police, uutil the assurances of the firemen reached them that they would succeed in conquering the flames. The tire was got under con-, trol In hali an hour, and soon after the last flicker died out under a torrent of water. Mr. Cohen suffered about $10,000 loss, and William Couunt, who had a | soma factory on the third floor, loses $1,500, The joss on the building is said to be about $2,000, BREATHITT LAW. HOW COURT 15 HELD IN THE LAND OF THE DEs- PERADo® (From the Louisville Courier-Journal, Dec. 14.) Scene—A court in Breathitt county. The Judge is lounging in an easy chair, with his feet perched upon the pulpit, and to the occupauts of the court room nothing is visible of him but a pair of No. 10 brogans. ‘The Judge makes no attempt to keep order, as there is no such thing as order in that part of the country.

The red- haired fellow in the corner inakes so much noise the attention of the Deputy Sheriff is atiracted that way. It dimly occurs to him that there isa little disorder in the court room. The Judge is say- ing, ‘There is no BEpot that the doctrine of ulira vires will apply in this case. The first duty of the executive power is to preserve order, Ordag is the law of the Almighty; order is. ? The Deputy Sheriff cries out to The red-haired dis- turber:—"‘dim, stop that danined racket, will you?’ “Go to hell!” was the unconcerned auswer. At this cool retort the head of the Judge peeped between his feet, aud he said:—“If you don't stop that noise there 11 have to fine you.” “or guess you wouldn't be so cruel ae all that, Jedgo?” was the answer, “T don't want any of your gab,” said the Judge.

Johnson WOE UNTO WALL About half-past eleven o’clock yesterday morning some excitement was created in Wall street by an old man, whd in loud tones denounced the bankers and brokers in that neighborhood. He was about sixty years of age, with iron gray hair and full beard, and was dressed in blue clothes. Standing opposite the Stock Exchange he hurled anathemas at the brokers, who, he claimed, were the cause of the present miserable condition of the poor of this city. He warned his hearers to prepare for a coming carth- quake, and at times would exclaim, ‘‘Woe to this city ot Sodom, which is far worse than the Sodom and Gomorrah of ol¢.” An immense crowd collected about him, stopping all traffic on the street, and, as no policeman was visible, the janitor of No. 19 Wail street ordered the speaker to move on. This he did with the crowd at his heels until he reached the Sub- Treasury Building, the steps of which he mounted, and from that position ued the crowd in the some strain. He then marc into the Sub-Tressury, and startled the many clerks at their desks with cries of “Woe to you sinuci The crowd attempted to follow him, but were prevented by the doorkcepers, who kicked the prophet unceremoniously out of thé Pine street entrance to the building. + BUSINESS TROUBLES.
