MAY 20.-John A. Manning ct al. vs.. ITiiliam
Parsn Haiiet.-Mr. Anthsn stated the ease to the
jury. The learned gentleman said it was the third
trial to settle point very strongly contested, but
still of the very last importance 10 the profession
and to the community at large. By the law of this
state, all judgments recorded against any citizen,
were available against his real estate liens in the
way mortgage, if recorded; and this action
brought to test the liability of the Clerk Of the
Sspreme Court to pay any damage incurred through
found books Of any Of the Clerks Offices Of the
several Counties Of the State.
In the year 1881, the plaintiff recovered q judg-
ment against one Charles J. Morris for the sum Of
S3t96 damages, and Is cents costs. Morris at that
time twas good" for the debt and costs for he owned
real estate to very considerable amount, and pos
sessed personal property 10 the value Of 10000
He, hswever, wanted time to realize and PROPOSE
ton was made to defer the payment, for twelve
months, and gave the plaintiffs lien upon his estate
On the 18th OF October, in that yeur, they notified
the in this action search the records for
twenty-six years, for both judgments and mortgages
against the real estate Of Morris. On the 9th, he
made his return Of two Judgments, amounting to
Sl5l5, bat overlooking recorded against Morris,
at the suit Of oae Nathan Davis on the 18th Of July
1929, for S15,0l4 "A.
The Plaintiff, of coarse, gave Morris the time
that Davis had swept the real estate, aad the per-
sonals had vanished into thin air. They, therefore,
brought this suit, which had twice been reviewed
and was again to be submitted to Jury for their
decision.
The learned gentleman Thea went into his proofs,
which were entirely documentary, but before he
made out his case the other side offered 10 compro-
mise the mstter ifthe plaintiffs would accept Of their
damages, and deduct sioO from the costs Mr. Anthem
opted Of this Offer asd the Court discharged the
lury. by which f.use the decision OF this vex
question IL as far from a solution as ever.

This is the title which the +" Commercial Adver-
tser of last evening, the part of the Wall street
press, to aX to the cash newspaper press,
issued from the neighborhood of Ann and Nassau
streets. About three years age, the Wall street
press attempted to put down the cheap cash press
by the like epithets-they are now coupled with
these new appellations, "unapproachable infany"-
" infinite loathing," sc.
We have no doubt, the cheap daily press, of Ann
and Nassau Streets sold at one ortwo cents per copy
deserves all these terms of reproach from the Wall
street press. The w. S. press are fighting for
their bread and the total disregard Of all the decen-
cies Of life, and all the rules of morality assang
their fearful competitors, are perfectly exsusable.
But the real cause Of this efervescencs is not
yet told We will lift the veil and let the New
York public see the reason why the Wall street
press endeavor to destroy the character of their
more industrious and useful contemporaries Here

These tables are, we believe, very nearly an ac-
curate estimate Of the gross circulation of the two
classes of daily newspapers. The cash press, frsm
Its superior popularity, industry, and tact has, in
five years since its first establishment surpassed
the Wall street press nearly four times, in the
lation Of 10000 10 100. No wonder, therefore,
that the Is 600 should deem the CO. 00O the essence
OF "total depravity''-'' anapproachable infamy"
&c.
But the revolution will not stop, in consequence of
these demonstrations No such thing The mad
ness folly and insanity OF the all street press will
only accelerate its fate. Every day persons from
the city and country coming into office, sub
scribng for the Herald, and paying the cash down,
who have at the time, stopped their subscriP-
items to the Wall street press. The country is
pletely tired Of the inanty, ignorance, folly,
sumption and beastliness Of the Wall street press
They supported alone by the specsators in banks
the spectators in stocks-ths spectators in
ligion--and the rogues Of all kinds. On the other
hand the cash small press Of Ann and Nassau streets
is supported by the great middls industrious, and
sirfuous classes Of the chols country, who want the
truth told Of every event taking place in this great
metropolis.
But this is not all The immense circulation Of the
cheap cash press, is making total and immediate
revolution in the advertising business. The specula
tors rsgues, and rascas, who doevsry thing tick,
still advertise in the Wall street press. They would
