The practioal operation of jesign would be to transfer to warebousemen tho ¢ ustody o wareboused and unclsimed merchandise, and the burden and responsibilities attendine the same. The first section of that ides for the establishment of private wareLouses, when appreved by the Secretury of the Treasary, which aro 1o bo tluced in charge of a proper officer of the customs. Wh together with the owner aud proprictor of the wareho shall have the joint custody of all the merchandise stored therein. It also provides that all the labor on the goods #o stored must be performod by the owner or proprictor of the house under the sapervision of the officer of the customs in ¢ poriod had_been a part of the revenuc t warel e of the same at the expense of such owner oF proprictor.

Lhe nivth section provides that the Beeretary of the T shall from time to time to establish such rales aud | fations mot inconsistent with the laws of the U States for the due executin of the act as he | e SR 8l I or merchandise ion provides that BnCIelrI 0 K sesion of by Culsctors of the bo taken possess) stored in any private bonded warehouse Act, and that all charges for labor, storage, uch goods, wares. o - existing laws to Casioma sy bo aud other expenses aceru) merchaodise, m to exceed !- any case the regular rates for Fich objeets at the port in question, must be paid before the delivery of the goods, on due entry thereof by the clajmant or owner, wna farther, that if sold x» unclaimed goods to realize charges sball be paid by the "of the sale theroof, before paring ‘Troasury, s required by existing lawe. which the Secregary of the Treas- 0 make, the warehouses fof the storage of dutiable merchandise must bo used solely for the purpose of the storage of bonded goods, but unclaimed and seized goods | aball be received therein on the order of the Coilector, and the proprietor, it is declared, shall be liable for the safe-keeping of | the merchaudise. This regulation is partly in express uccord- wnce with Section @ of the Act of 1654, which provides that ua- climed goods way be de ited in the private warehouses. Fheee regulations also p the propristors of bonded . ¥ Whiv promises uiust ry 10 the Collector such sum for the compen: tion of Custom- houwe oflicers in attendan deew proyer for tuels aervices, not less bowever than such oficers, aud these offiocrs are the persous who, usder Beotion L of tho Act of 1554, Lave joint custody of the merchandise stored. Tt s also dod by these ations that a'l bills for storage and labor must l; Mk::fln by th proprictor of the bonded warchouse. as the Collector looks to the safo custody of the merchandise only for the security of the rovenue, and it is also declared that all goods depositad in any bonded store shall be at the sole asd exciusive risk of the ropricior and im For these regulatio; * The arehouse Man 55, 1t hiss been held, Tum | aware, in Tracy vs. Bales that in structions from the Secrei accordance with the law afford 5o ju 1acts by & ooliec tor, but the right of the Secretary to give Instructions to the colisctor ax a minteterial officer, for the due enforcement of the revenue laws, is aseerted. The regulations recitel hereiu may not have such legal vi 1n all respscts os to bind the detondant, but it is reasonable to presume that they knew of them, and were advised by them of the interpretation given to the statato under which tiey obtaiued leave to conduct the | business of warehousem nd of the oblige s assumed. But whotlier this be correct presumption or uot, is not, perhaps, important. The warehoaseman, a8 we have seen, is obliged | to perf 1 the labor upon the goods m: his own expense. He acquires a lien fo of the act and oceuples, t signee of the goods the arges, secured by the prov refore, toward the importer or con me reiation in reference to his lien | that exists upon the deposit of good: | house by any ewner. His ¢ Govorument. 1t is extracted from ¢ e, aud be is | dealing the Governiwent 1u refereace to the property de- | posited, which he assumes to guard as well on Beralt of th Government a8 on behall of the owner. Tho officer of the cus- | toms placed in conjunction with the warebousemen s nssigned to the position be occupies 1o securo the import duties to be paid to the Goversment, and to protect the Government egainst frauds. 1t may be that he is also to be regarded as & sentinel over the warehousemen to protect the property de. posited in tho store which i be in sowe wasner mtrrY-.ml ith or disposed of. His custody of the goods is a limited one, and for purposes 0! with the merchandise when deposited, while the | warchouseman providing the store and performing all fabor in reference to 1t and depositing it as well when ordered so to do has the wore absolute possession of the thing itself. 1t passes to his manual possessior, and is deposited by biw and hi vanuts at his expense. H and being ‘com- pensated by the owner for the the goods, aud the trouble and expenses incidental to’it, ho owes a dnty to the owner, which is a sufficient consideration of a promise to guard tho merchapdise with reasonable care, and to establish a privity of contract for that purpose. But if that view be not sustainable, the circumstances detailed establish a bailment, namely: deposit for hire, to be paid by the owner, which im* poses a duty upon the warchouseman to protect the merchan- Qiso deposited in his store, by the exercise of all reasonavle care and tho failure to perform that duty gives to the fnjured owner a right of action. The bailment inures to the benefit of the owner or consigneo of the goods. He has a right to avail bimself of the privilege of having his merchandise placed in the warehouse, and the warchouseman receives the samo ad- vantage from the deposit, under such circamstauces. as if it » by the direct act of the owner himself. The aot of Cougress under consideration makes no distinction botween the obligations assumed anud rights secured by the warsiousemen after merchandise is deposited with bim, whether by the im- porter voluntarily under the provisions of the mct or by the order of the Coileo Lu either ease the warebousaman must before the merchandise oan by deiivered o charges himself. Under the pro- visions of the act of March 2, 1799, the Collector to keep goods taken possession of by hiim with du able care, but the system of storehouses under that act was en- tigely difforeut fromithat which has been ivaugurated by sub- soquont acts of Congress and complotsd under the provisions of tho act of 1854, The merchandise deposited in the defend- ant’s warehonse was in the joint custody of the ofiicer of the Customs assigned to it and fhe defendants, each having a dis- finot and Aeparuto duty to porform aud object 4o aocomplish. There is, fu my judgment, therefore, no authority for the proposition that the Collector's obligations created by tho mct of 17 still contains. Ho has no persoual oharge of tho merchandise. He is not required to iu st himself with it. Ho is to designate an oflicer to act in union with the warebouseman, but chiefly as I thiak for the purpose of securiug the import duties and to prevent violations of and frauds upon the revenue laws. I thiok the case of Brissac agt. Lawrenoe, 2 , Cir.

Tho operation of the Siatute of 1554, under the ciroumstances disclosed by the special find ings, established the relstion of ballor and bailee botween tho pledatiff and defondants, and imposed npon the latter the du ties of warehousemen, whick they have failed to discbarge. The plaintifl is, for theso reasons, eutitlod to judgment, and the motion for a new trial is denled. Malcolm Campbeil for the piaitiff.

This | twotion 18 now made upon the ground that through mistake, in- | wdvertence, error or utherwise, the piaintiff has recovered at leust 86,914 more than upon any principle pmpullv npplicable 1o the fects of the oase be is entitled to recover. 1 0 not en- Yertain & doubt that the plaintiff's recovery was too lurse, and | 1"am, therefore, cleatly of the opinion that if no well sottiod | principle of law or of .{. practice of the court is violated, the | Befendasts ought 1o bave au opportunity to correct the error. | "The power to do so s given iu expreas terms by the I174th sec- | tion of the Cods, which provides that the court in its disere- tion, aud upon such terms as shall be jost, may relieve a party from 8 judgment, error or other proceeding taken against him | *through his mistake, inadverten surprise or excusable noglect.” 1 cannot persunde mywelf tbat the miodo of ascertain- | iug the dumagos io this caso was sdopted by the court or | assented to by Counsel to the Corporation upon fall and carefal examination of the question. Indecd it does not appear that sny | question as 1o the correctness of the rule was raised on the trial, and it seemws to have been tacitly assumed that 1t was the correct rule. 1 refore, led to believe that lnmuth inadvertence, vl excasable neglect, or mistake of the | counsel for tho defendants, the case was allowed to go to the Jury upou what I deem to have been & eleulyncmnmnln Unmages. Under such circamstavces 1 can have Lo hesitation in o} tion, if the inadvertence or neglect b Aes 1u soeking relief from mistakes are gonerally s compiete auswer to & ‘motion for suek relief; and courts will always, and very pmrlly, scrutiniee closely any attempt to avoid consequences, ‘which .’pu? hss brought upon bimeelf by bis own act; and great delay in sp- plying for relief is always & eircamstance of suspicion, and -fll incline the mind to doubt the good faith of the application.

Yot this motion is | in @ littlo over two montls from bis assumption of office. | The Counsel to the Corporation is an independent depart- | mext of the corporate government and represents the inbab- | itants of the couniy. He has charge of and is responsidlo for the conduct of all #uits and proceedings sgainst the city. To him are confided intervats of great mogaitnde and importanee, aud it i kis duty, independently of any other department, to defend the city and the taxable inhabitants thereof agninst all actions which in bis judgment canuot be sustained; aod it 18 also bis duty, whenever in bis judgment the interests of the city and its taxahle inbabitasts require it, to institute lawful proceadings to relieve them from auy improper burden. And the duty is oo the less imporative whettier the burden bas through mistakes of bimself or of Ins prodeces r mistakes of any other department of the city 'The meastre of’ negleot which Is applied 10 cases agninst individusls for their own acts or neglect, for which they are themselves responsible, ought ot tobe ap- | plied fo peblio fusctionarles represeuting parties who a o for acts or omissions of which they are igvor be maxim, Nallum tempus occurrit regi, in be supposed to be awareof an unjust invasion of jts rights. The Corporation of | New-York has no entire control over their Counsel, ha being an elective officer, 80 as to direot or change bii; and unless the courts can afford them protection or relief, when brought to their notice, serious losses migbt fall upou the City Treasury by the neglect or delinquency of an irresponaible oficial. Tho soveral adjudications fo this case, which it was so strougly urged should be regarded as concluding the applicants upon thiis motion, do not afford, it seems to me, a sulticient reason for withholding the relicf they now seek to obtain. I believe an error waa oomiiit*d on the trial of the action which should not go uncorreeted, if tbe Court have power to correct it. Ax the plaiotiff should not object, as 1 believe ke will not, to have Lis judgment reversed, if be recovered more than the law awards him, I am, theretore, of opinion thut so much of the motion as is necessary to give the defendants the relief they soek should be granied om terms. Tho eglect to epply at an lier day to my mind sufficlently excused, and the defendants should not be {njuriously yrquixm th de- lay of s public Journal, more o] ly as the plaintill cannot be injared except by skort prolon, of bis aotion. I do not intend, aad I niean it be ratood, that this di claion shall be regarded s a precedent, or as affording any ea- couragement to relaxing proper etiention to the defense of sults aguinst the Corporation. Iu conducting the large law business devolving upon the Counsel to the Corporation, mis- takes and errors aro almost inevitable, acd more or less delay oannot probably be avoided; but only in clear cases of e cusable negiigenoe and palpable error, will the courts foel in- olined to relieve the Corporation from the consequences of mistakes of the city oficials. I bave come to the vonclu- L much besitstion, bowever, that the order de- nying the wmotion for & new trial, aud the order affirming the same, should be et Aside, the ense resottiod, aud a re argumoat ordered. In no other way, without the oon- sent of the plaintiff, can the error complained of be correoted. An order may be entered that unleas the plainttfl, within twen- ty days from" t toring and service of the order upon this decision, stipulstes in writing to deduct from his judgment the sum of §6,914, with iuterest from Sept. 23, 1863, then that, upon payment by the defendants to the ntiff of all the costs in tho sction since tbe trial, tucluding ‘costs of the appeal to the Court of Appea.s, to be taxed, and of ton dollars costs of epposing this motion, th ndants have leave to rescttio the case and ue their motion (o} jew trial at the Special Term; and that the order denying the motion for a trial on the minutes of the Justice and of the judgment affirming such order be vacated and set aside; the said appeal to the Coart of Appeals be dismissed, sud thst until the decision of such motion all proceedings on the judgmont be stopped. —— Court of Gemeral Sessions. SENTENCES OF THE APRIL TERA. Probabiy at no time has the State Prison reccived #0 Iarge n number of conviots as within the past 13 montbs. This has been not owing to any direct increase of crime, but a more rigid and uncompromising course which Justico bas taken toward it. Criminals in high pesition aud in low have alike dearly learned this, and it has bad the effect of making them more wary in their operations, and when ocanght to ac- kuowledge thelr guilt without the issue of & trial By pload- ing guilty the prisoner is sometimes shown, wore lealency than he would receive otherwise.

Thero is a slight nausea, or trausioat pains, or rumbling sounds, when Ao . No one is entirely free from these.

For Stopping the Incipient Diarrhea.—The mixture which T used n 1848 with great success, and again iu €55, has, & this epidemic, been used by thoussnds, and slthough the uch%nn boon more sudden and violent, it has lfiuy.nh lished its repatation for eftictency and perfect safety. It consists of equal parts, by measure, of 1, Laudanum and Spirits of Cam- phor; 2. Tinctare of Rhubarb. Thirty drops for an adult, on & lump of sugar, will often check the diarrhea. But to pre- vent its return, care should be always taken to continne the modicine every four hours in dlmlnllh::’ doses, 25,20, 15, 10, 9, when careful diet is all that will be neoded.

GENOA, Maroh, 1868, The folliss committed by governments in the Middle Ages of thomselves prove very little more than the ignoe-* ance and corruption of the times, Their umulm lations were inkuman and iueflective, like their of suppressing heresies; but this does not prove thes ['m; ‘l ‘ines and the wolation of the sick should be disre- ardod. ¢ Retainiog b the poor and e oth ideas as procautions which'we owe to xposed classes, we should temper thom by our wisest science and our most Christian morality. Lazarotto is a word of torror; & modern French matson de santé is only less fearful.

Oneof tho follies of medioval rulems, which is dilated upon by those who apmu quarantines, is they never combined efforts*to improve the sanitary came dition of their cities with their spasmodic offorts to ex» cjuda the disease.
