 :. N,inr Noahs connection with the Grand Is l.,5 scheme; the building of the Temple for the ,easssnhl,ns of the Jews, on this continent, are r,st,srg of present day history. Not many years a,o he was Judge of the Court of Crminal Ses- ,,,ns of thiS city; and wbife there began teud with Bennett Of the Herald, which lasted to his death he'd. Bennetfs reporter had made some fun .of Ira,e Nnah. and the latter contendlng Ii a l,bel m. that i, held him up t9 public rsdlcule. nrnepraI the indictment of Bennett. The latter was tired before Judge Kent and two Aldermen anl jufy. aud convicted. Kent was fOr sending pgnnet, to the penlientiary, but the Aldermen oyarr,yaa hlm and {" went iu'' for fine, which was readily paid The office of the ''lay Judge gtfor was shortly afterwards abolished. and the Msior returned to the "corps editoTiale," c0m. uanceh to fight Bennett with quill weapons. It was about this tune the Caudle paper Douglas Ierrold in the London Punch, was attracting so much attention; and Major Noah began series of letters purporting to be Curtap lectures from Mrs Bennett, to her husband, on the subject of black mail. under which Bennett las well he mighN grew exceedingly restiye. This course oi the Majors was hasty and ill advised Mrs. Ben net was q lady Of accomplished education; she had never injured hum. and il was not right that the sns of the husband should fall upon the wife. Sa, snarting under the recollection of this, when 'ae question regarding the Crown Jewels of the Punoe of Orange was recently before the United States Senate, on the memorial of Councillor Sesy Of this bar, Bennett penned an article In re- la;ion so Major Noahs connection with them while hs was Surveyor Of the Port. which the Major s agogney pronounced libellous, and Bennett was agan indicted. This bill was never tried, and drRih has entered "noe prosequl'' in the case.
