Case of Margaret Wason.ln the Of this woman,
convicted grand larceny, in stealing treasury note
VIM. NJ Price her counsel, moved the court to grant
bill of exceptions on the ground that at the time the
Indictment was found against her the office Of District
Attorney was legally vacant. That Mr.. Whiting had
rendered his resignation to the County Court, which
sgnation fled and therefore accepted-and that no
power exists the County Court to appoint District
Attorney for any other than q full term.
We understand that .he Recorder and Aldermen Lee
and Clayton concur in the views of Mr. Price, and that
bill Of exceptions will be granted for trial. II so,
the same objection will urged in all convictions Of the
last terms and there will be lively time among law
yers in carrying out these views

Charge OF Conspiracy to Defraud the Allan
tic Insurance Company
At the opening of the Court Of Sessions yesterday
morning Recorder Tallmadge stated that in the case oil
James Bergen brought before him on Monday afternoon
on writ Of hsbeas corpus on charge OF conspracyto
defraud the Atlantic Insurance Company Of the sum OF
$4,000. in company with man named Hamilton, he
should proceed to deliver his opinion. The question be-
fore him, he said was that OF admitting the accused to
ball. and also whether the bail demanded by Justice
Matse who entertained the complaint was excessive or
not In aluson to the charge the Recorder said If Sutton
was De credited which of he could not be with
out strong circumstances the present

that had ever been exposed in Court of Justice After

REroRrEn OF HERALD-(To the District attorney, pr.
vaely)Can you let US have COPY OF that interesting
piece Of evidence?
ArroRNKY-I shall be compelled to refuse you
at this stage of the case as there are matters connected
with the letter that will not do for public exposure until
additional evidence is procured.
RRCoRpEKMy conclusion is that the accused shall be
held to bail to the CHARGE and as the Grand Jury
in session, and the principal witness in prison,
and the parties all the spot the can be presented
to them forthwith for their action IL on review OF the
case should make any alteration in tho amount OF bail
fixed by the justice would be to increase the sum and
not decrease it. The charge, will be seen involves the
attempt to obtain the large sum of $4,000 and also in
cudes the allegation of subornaon OF perjury, which
oneof the most hsinous offences known to our laws
therefore decide that the accused must md bail IN the
Of $4,000 for his appearance to answer the charge
Neither the accused, nor his associate Hamilton, were
in court, although they were fully represented by
| their several counsel.

witness the new piece, written expressly to suit the
pecu lar performances of the Ellsler Brothers, who
are of course its great feature, and we found their
ieats of strength worthy of all that has been said OF
them. Intermixcd with and forming part OF the IT.
cidents of drama, they are as pleasing as surpri-
sing Not the least astonishing part OF their per-
lormance is the extraordinary manner in which they
form bridge by the connection OF their bodies,
across which troop Of soldiers pass deep ravine
to release the heroine OF the piece from deested
marriage. But these are other feats which exhibit
a superhuman power to which no description could
do justice.
