THE COURTS. Varying Phases of Friendship, Trust and Tenancy, THOUGHT IT A JOKE. The Transparency of a Wife Beater’s Defence. There has just been concluded, before Judge McAdam, in the Marine Court, a case of landlord and tenant, the parties to which, the circumstances and the array of prominent counsel engaged on each side, quite lift it above the ordinary class of dispossess proceedings. The suit was brought in the name of Lafayette F., Beach, as landlord and owner, to dis- possess Mrs. Harriet C. Berrien, as tenant, from No. 25 East Thirty-frst street. ‘The lady is the daughter of the late Judge Berrien, in his day one of Georgia's most eminent judges and statesmen. She came here succeeding the war and rented the house in question. She was known to Mr. Henry H. Stotesbury and Gen- eral John W. Ward, both now of this city, but formerly of Savannah, Ga., the latter having been United States Minister to China and the close friend of her father in his lifetime and of herself from childhood. Both gentle- men from early associations wore disposed to aid Mra. Berrien in maintaining for herself a home, and General Ward, learning that the house which she occu- pied waé about to be sold, proposed to Mr. Stotesbury that they make an effort to purchase the property for her benefit. The property was already mortgaged to such an amount that there would be required but about $5,000 ready cash, of which General Ward ex- pressed @ willingness to advance $1,000 and Mr, Stotesbury the remainder. Owing to financial disap- pointments General Ward was unable to furnish his proportion, and Mr, Stotesbury then resorted to an effort to have the mortgage increased $1,000, and finally succeeded in getting title to the property in hisown name, On the 4th of June, 1877, Mrs. Ber- rien being already in possession, he executed to her a lease for fiye years, at the rate of $1,600 year, pay- able semi-annually. Accompanying this lease was ® memorandum to ‘the effect that at any time within the five years Mrs. Berrien could obtain title to the property by paying the amount advanced thereon, with interest. About the timo these arrange- ment were made General Ward resided in the coun- try, and‘ finding it convenient to have a room at his disposal when detained in the city over night, en- gagéd one from Mrs. Berrien, and Mr. Stotesbury also made up his mind that he would like a room in the same house. It was not long, however, until Stoteabury took an irrepressible tancy to the room of General Ward, and having, as was claimed on the trial, financial control over Mrs, Berrien, induced her to write # letter to General Ward asking for his toom. Ina letter of Stotesbury’s, produced on the trial, and claimed as relating to this transac- tion, he gave the lady just “twenty-four hours” within which to write that letter; to her, she said, the most painful: act of her life. The General replied, merely expressing dignified regret that he could not afford to By, as much for the room as Mr. Stotesbury could. Then there came a time when Mr. Stotesbury wanted his room changedand had it done, using it, as was testified, about once a week, ‘This occupancy, Mrs, Berrien insisted, was in pursu- ance of an agreement thet it should be in lieu of the nominal rent in the lease. To sustain this theory, and also the claim that the property was held in trust by Stotesbury for Mrs..Berrien, letters of the former were put in evidence, in one of which, written about the time the room was being negotiated for, he says :— “Without me the trust is nothing; with ‘me, every- thing.” From this it was argued that there had been a plain declaration of trust on the part of Stotesbury, and that the engagement of the room as an equivalent tor the rent was to assist Mrs. Berrien in com- plying with the conditions of the agreement to convey the property to her. This Stotesbury de- nied, but admitted he would have been willing to convey the property on the seraipe of the amount he had disbursed, with interest. ‘hen nearly a year had elapsed from the time of making thé lease Stotes- bury bad already abandoned his room and presented to Mrs. Berrien the cost of the property up to that date, including interest on the mortyage and repairs, demanding payment either of that sum or the rent stipulated for in the lease. Getting neither, he con- veyed the property to his friend Latayette F. Beach, taking his notes in payment. The latter then com- menced asuit inthe Supreme Court to recoyer six months’ rent, which suit was subsequently Giscon- tinued, and the present proceeding instituted to dis- possess Mrs. Berricn on the ground of non-payment of a succeeding six months’ rent. On the trial of this issuo the plaintiff Beach was represented by Messrs. Dunne and Nolan as counsel, and the defendant, Mrs. Berrien, in a similar capacity by General Ward ‘and Messrs. Algernon 8, Sullivan and ‘f. C.Talman. A number of technical objec- tions were iuterposed on the part of the defendant to the effect that in the first action the plaintiff had split an entire claim of $1,600 ly accrued, and could not, therefore, base the present proceedings on the last half of that sum; that owing to the agree- ment to convey, made contemporaneously with the lease, the relation of landlord and tenant never ex- isted between Stotesbury and Mrs. Berrien, and that Beach, the plaintiff, could acquire no right which Stotesbury did not possess; that the relation existing between Stotesbury and the tenant was that of trustee and cestui que trust; that the plaintiff had mado no proper demand for the rent, and the defendant never acknowledged him as her landlord. The principal reliance of the’ defendant was, however, the alleged agreement of Stotesbury to take out the rent in use of @ room, and that he only held the cial oa oy trust for the benefit of de- fendant, Judge , in deciding the case, over- ruled all the technical objections and dismissed from consideration the theory that the property was held in trust. going substantially: over the entire case the Judge concluded by saying:—This case is unlike the ordinary summary ing in three things—first, that the landiord has never received any rent; second, that the friendly relations existing between ‘the led corre: spondence, propositions’ and agreements, some of which have tended to embarrass the case witn questions of trust which ers do not belong init under any findings and conclusions; and third, the high character of the parties to the record, and the ability, industry and ingenuity with which their counsel have prosecuted and defended the proceed- ing, leaving no point untouched nor question not raised. Upon a review of the eutire case | am satis- fied that the ends of justice require that the tenant perform the conditions of her lease and the agree- ment made respecting it, or that the landlord have ion of mises, Judgment is therefore rendered for the diord, The issuing and execu- tion of the warrant will be stayed, however, until February }, 1879, to enable the tenant to pay the $800 demanded herein, with interest from June 4, 1878, and the taxable costs of this proceeding, or find another house into which to move, The condition suggested will, it is hoped, mect the approbation of A LAUGHING PRISONER. © A good natured looking youth, named James Stan- ley, was yesterday charged with burglary in the Court of General Sessions. When arraigned he manifested a most irresistible impulse to laugh, it being exceed- ingly difficult to restrain his merriment. In fact, he regarded the whole affair as a first class joke. The allegation was that he broke s pane of glass in the place of Peter Cochran, at No. 71 Canal street, on the evening of the Sist_ult., and carried’ off two bottles of brandy, “Why,” said the laughing prisoner, “that—ha! hai—that ain’t burglary,” when the charge was ropeated to him. He still kept on laughing, when finally Judge Gildersleeye inquired what was the matter with him, when he was in- formed that his father and he had had a misunder- standing, when the former turned him into the street, that he had no money to get lodgings and he sup) the best way to ‘obtain them was to break the window, take the brandy and get locked up. Judge Gildersiveve remanded the prisoner, that his father might bo questioned on ubject, THE OLD STORY. A comely young woman, said to be very respect- ably connected, who, it seems, was lured away, was yesterday arraigned in Part 1 of the Court of General Sessions, charged with grand larceny. Some time ago her brother found her, after » prolonged search, in the Buckingham Palace, aud conveyed her in a car- riage to the Thirtieth street police station. She re- fused to return home. When taken to the Jefferson Market Court she still declined to join her friends, aud, being of age, she was discharged. It is ableged that she left the court room with her betrayer, with whom #he soon afterward quarrelled and joined another companion, ‘The specific charge against her was that she stole $35 from a bureau drawer belonging to George McLaughlin, of No, 28 Greenwich avenue. When arraigned for trial yes- terday in Part 1 of the Court of General Sessions sho acl mow edged her guilt, and Judge Gildersleeve sent her to the Penitentiary for one year. BRUTAL HUSBAND'S PUNISHMENT. ‘two years ago Margaret Klein had her husband Louis sent to Blackwell's Island for @ few months tor ill-treating her. While he was paying the penalty for his brutality she hired rooms at No. 208 Kast Sixty- third street, where she maintained herself by outside household work. It appvars thut on the 16th of No- vember last Klein encountered his wife in a grocery store adjacent to her home, Me would then have n her severely but for the e of the He again made bis appour etorel i ult., when he rapped at her door, When she opened it he struck her with an iron bar, exclaiming, “Now I’m going to fix you!” From the severe g the Poor Woman became unconsciqus. He was arrested Sool ead sestenten to: toe Contt of General Sessions. In his defence he denied the assault, alleging that his wife ran against the iron bar. He was promptly con- Victedsand Judge Gildersiceve sent him to the State Prison for three years, SUMMARY OF LAW CASES. The complaints against United States Commis- sioner Duncan, the purport of which has already been published, were to have been brought up before Judge Blatchford, yesterday, in the United States Circuit Court, By request, however, of counsel, the matter ‘was adjourned until next Friday. ‘The Supreme Court (General Term) Judges yester- day appointed as examiners for this year of appli- cants for admission to the Bar, Lewis L. Delafield, Hamilton Cole and George F, Langbein, and as Com- mittee on Character, Edward Patterson, William F, Shepard and Edward I’. Brown. A young man named George Robinson, from Massa- chusetts, against whom there were several indict- ments for forgery, pleaded guilty in Part 2 of the Court of General jonn yost y to one of the in- dictments. In view of the prisoner's youth Judge Cowing imposed the comparatively light sentence of three years in the State Prison. % Betore Judge Van Hoesen there was tried yesterday a suit brought by Philip Daly against Peter De Witt, to recover $5,000 aaasene tor alleged assault, the laintiff, as he says, having been struck violently on he head with an iron or steel instrument, The defend- ant in his answer alleges that while Soanencay re- moving snow and ice from the pavement he was assaulted by the plaintiff, and acted in self-delence, A sealed verdict was ordered for this morning. A motion was made in Supreme’ Court, Chambers, yesterday by . McClure, one af the counsel for Cardinal McCloskey, requiring the contestant in the Merrill will case to file additional security for costs. Mr. Parsons, counsel for George Merrill, opposed the motion, alleging that the present security was suiti- cient and that granting the motion would unneces- sarily delay the trial of the case in regard to the validity of the will. ‘The case of John and Frank McKenna, who are in- dicted for murder in the first degree in having, as alleged, killed William B, Wiltse, on the 12th of No- vember last, was on the calendar of Part 2 of tho Court of General Sessions yesterday for trial. Assis- tant District Attorney Daniel G. Hollins called the names of the witnesses for the prosecution and found only one of them in attendance. Mr, William F, Howe, counsel for the accused, said that he was in readiness to pré and had a number of witnesses in court, After some desultory discussion Judge Cowing set the case down for Monday next for per- emptory trial and adjourned the court until that ay. ‘There was a long hg cies yesterday in the Su- preme Court, General Term, in the suit of Thomas O'Gara against John Kearney. The suit was brought to enforce a promise of payment of an un ‘3 bill. Before a referee, aj ppoliited by the Surrogate, the claim was rejected. Surrogate also rejected the claim. A trial resulted in a verdict for de- fendant, but on a new trial the plaintitf got a verdict for $72, and the defendant thereon was ordered to pay the costs, amounting to $278. The case came up on appeal trom this order, the Court taking the papers. .Mr. Thomas Nolan appeared for the plain- and Mr. Daniel R. Leddy for the defendant, PRAYERS IN COURT. The afternoon session of the Tombs Police Court was opened yesterday with the usual cry of ‘Hats off!” as Judge Smith entered and took his'seat. A loud and earnest voice from the prison pen broke the momentary silence and all ears were strained to hear the words of prayer that were being uttered. “What means all that noise?” said the Judge, to whom the sounds were cither unfamiliar or strangely out of place, “Bring that man out and make your complaint, ollicer,” the Court added, rapping the gavel smartly on the desk in @ vain effort to drown the sounds. The pen door was opened and a low sized, stout man, with an intelligent face and iron gray hair and whis- kers, was led to the bur. He knelt against the railing ‘and appeared to be in the fervor of supplication. Judge Smith rose from his chair to look down upon the prisoner, with the interrogatory remark, “ite ligious insanity?’ Officer Houtaling, of the Fourth precinct, explained that he had arrested the man, who gave his name as Benjamin F. Snyder, for disturbin; a noonday prayer meeting at the North Dut! Church, in Fulton street, near William. The prisoner rose when the officer had finished, and, with a smile of self-reliance, said to the Judge:— “I was awake when 7 spoke, Religious insanity, you said. Shake hands.’* ‘The Judge declined the proffered hand, remarking that he had not the pleasure of the stranger's ac- quaintance, “And do you not shake hands with strangers?” — the prisoner, with a look of rebuke on his ace. “Not as a rule,” was the Judge’s answer, “Well, I do, with every one I meet. dys ad sir,” added the man, handing one to .he Judge and placing a pocket edition of the Bible on his desk. At the prisoner's request Judge Smith exchanged cards with him and committed him for examination as to his sanity.

ALWAYS WITH YOU. - THE CANVASS OF THE CITY NEXT TUESDAY FOR SUPPLIES—DESERVING CASES OF POVEBTY— HELP FOR THE NEEDY. The distress of a very respectable family at No. 277 West Nineteenth street (corner house) was men- tioned in thiseolumn on Thursday last, and during the day some charitable people called at the address named to give assistance. They were turned away, however, by the saloon keeper on the premises, who now writes to the Hrratp to say that there is no person in the house needing aid and to complain of the annoyance caused to him. The family named in the Henatp are in that house and in distress, and were recommended to St. John’s Guild by Surrogate Calvin as worthy of immediate holp in the following letter:— No. 9 East Foury-siata Sraxer, Jau. 7, 1879.

After a voyage of an hour through the floating ico in the East River the Minnahannonck made fast alongside of the wharf at Ward’s Island. Here the party were cordially welcomed by Dr. Charles H. Webb, the newly appointed chief of staff of the hospitel, and his assistants, and visitors and luggage were quickly transferred by hospitable hands to the hospital buildings.
